[Trisquel-users] Re : Questions
Anyone here using ownCloud? I set it up on my personal webspace this week-end, in the hope of getting rid of Google for good. It's a promising idea but the product still seems buggy and unfinished. I was mostly interested in the Calendar, Bookmarks and Contact apps but they all have their issues. I hope that the next versions will fix most of them. In the meantime, if anyone wants to discuss ownCloud here, I'd be delighted to know what your feeling about it is!
[Trisquel-users] Re : Documentation/Publicity help needed.
I agree with marioger. A thank you note would cost nothing and would be nice. I became a member beginning of 2012 and as of today I haven't received anything, save for a subscription to the trisquel-members mailing list. Maybe the Trisquel USB key is in the mail - I have no way of knowing. I think a little bit of transparency wouldn't hurt, especially since it seems to be hard to find members. For your information, here's the thank you note that you receive when you make a donation to Linux Mint: Dear Donor, Thank you for helping our project. On behalf of the team and as the founder of Linux Mint, I would like to express my gratitude for your generous donation. Although the total income generated through donations and ads doesn't allow us to gather a team of developers who would work full-time on the distribution, it helps things a lot. We started advertising on other websites such as distrowatch.com and we were able to acquire some equipment to test our distribution in a better and more efficient way. Most of all, this money allowed the developers to work more hours on the project, although not full-time, and to put them in a more comfortable situation. The money gathered also allows us to financially support sub-projects and to invest in activities which will in turn allow the distribution to grow. Our project continues to grow thanks to people like you and it's an honour for us to acknowledge your contribution at http://www.linuxmint.com/donors.php and as part of our monthly stats, at the end of month on http://www.linuxmint.com/blog We listed your donation as 2011-07-24 Canada Benjamin R. $20.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot configure connection settings.
Narrow down on the few lines that are about the wireless card. You'll have to type them here, but there won't be much :)). This link may help you: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-find-wireless-driver-chipset/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot configure connection settings.
Purchase a freedom-compatible card, or a USB dongle. You can find such things on thinkpenguin.com for instance (the owner - Chris - is a regular on this board, just ask him), on eBay (if you know exactly what to look for), other places as well I guess...
[Trisquel-users] Re : Ranking the 100% free distributions
A pretty worthless blog post if you ask me. The guy just describes some characteristics of the distros. No comparisons, no analysis. No rational for the ranking. Did I miss something? gNewSense #1? You gotta be kidding - the thing hasn't been updated in ages (its status on distrowatch : dormant).
[Trisquel-users] Re : Questions
Good to know - I was also looking for some alternatives to skype (ekiga never worked for me) and dropbox-like sites. Merci la banane magique ;).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Lenovo Sl410
Or a compatible card (from ThinkPenguin, or eBay...).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can anyone tell me if this netbook (w/ Intel GMA 3150) supports 3D acceleration?
Thanks Chris for the information about wifi cards.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Thunderbird
Any reason why Thunderbird's version in Trisquel's dagda repository is 3.1.16, when the latest version is 9.0.1 ? I understand that we cannot provide the latest version of each software, but Thunderbird/Firefox seems to be a special case (Trisquel already provides the latest version of Abrowser: 9.0.1).
[Trisquel-users] Can anyone tell me if this netbook (w/ Intel GMA 3150) supports 3D acceleration?
As this specific model isn't listed on h-node, I wonder if anyone here can answer that question. The netbook I'm talking about is this one: Acer Aspire One AOD257-1679 LU.SFV0D.046 Netbook - Intel Atom N570 1.66GHz, 1GB DDR3, 250GB HDD, 10.1 WSVGA, 6-Cell http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=807394CatId=4962 It has the following specs: Graphics Description: Integrated Graphics GPU/VPU:Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 I'm quite bummed that the desktop that I purchased a few years ago has an ATI graphics card and hence no 3D-acceleration with Trisquel. I understand that Intel integrated graphics cards do not require binary blobs. So before purchasing that netbook, I want to make sure that I won't be disappointed in that aspect. Thanks in advance if you know if Intel GMA 3150 is 'Trisquel-friendly' or not in terms of 3D-acceleration!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can anyone tell me if this netbook (w/ Intel GMA 3150) supports 3D acceleration?
Good news as far as the graphics card is concerned then :). But the concern about the wireless card is worrisome :( - hadn't thought about that...
Re: [Trisquel-users] AMD HD 6310 APU Drivers
How hard would it be reverse-engineer this infamous binary blob? Is it technically feasible by someone from the free software community, or almost impossible from a technical point of view? Does the community have all the necessary tools / knowledge / etc... or do we lack crucial information that makes it an impossible task?
Re: [Trisquel-users] AMD HD 6310 APU Drivers
I hadn't heard about that. Great news! Is there a list somewhere of the graphics chipsets whose specs have been released? What about Radeon HD4200 for instance (my card, for which I don't have 3D acceleration with Trisquel). Is there any hope that I will have 3D acceleration with this card one day on a fully-free system?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Spam filter shenanigans
One of my posts was blocked a few days ago. Looks like it disappeared into a black hole :'(.
[Trisquel-users] ThinkPenguin
This company sells freedom-compatible hardware with Trisquel pre-installed. Thought it would be interesting to share. http://www.thinkpenguin.com Do you know of any other?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Plymouth Logo Looks Like A Mess When Booting
I'm sure you meant the following for point #3 : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= And it does work :). Actually I finally settled on GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet because it was a bit too verbose for my taste when 'not quiet'. Thanks for the help.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Plymouth Logo Looks Like A Mess When Booting
Hello Magic Banana, I have the exact same problem than the original poster and would like to replace the ugly (because of my ATI card) boot splash by textual boot information (as described in your startupmanager link). I could even live with completely hiding it - anything but staring at that monstrosity ;) I played around with startupmanager but none of my choices seem to make any difference. I expected the following combination to improve the appearance at boot, but no such luck : 'Afficher l'animation d'amorcage' : UNCHECK 'Afficher le texte pendant l'amorcage' : UNCHECK Can you - or anyone else - please help? Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] FaceBook page?
http://www.gnewbook.org/ might be what you're looking for. I haven't tried it so I don't know if it's good or not, but at least the principles seem to be sound.
[Trisquel-users] What happened to the boot splash trisquel in 4.5 ?
In 4.5 I only see 'Trisquel 4.5' and four dots in the middle of the screen. What happened to the nice Trisquel logo? Has it been removed or should it be there and its absence could possibly be related to my ATI graphics card? I also have an annoying 'Cannot reserve MMIO region' message right in the middle of the boot screen, but that seems to be an Ubuntu problem as far as I can gather from an Internet search.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What happened to the boot splash trisquel in 4.5 ?
OK, so there IS supposed to be a boot splash. Hmm... Maybe I will install Slaine on my wife's HP laptop (without telling her of course, ha ha). It has an Intel graphics card so I will probably see what I am missing. I purchased my desktop with its ATI card before I became aware of the whole Software Freedom philosophy - isn't that sad ;).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel GNU/Linux 4.5 Slaine released
Congratulations and thanks for the hard work! Looking forward to installing it :).
[Trisquel-users] Unable to see any youtube video with 4.5
Not a single YouTube video works for me with 4,5 :(. It worked fine in 4.0, the only thing I had to do for that as far as I remember was to set the FlashVideoReplacer quality to HIGH. No such luck with 4.5... Is anyone able to see anything coming form YouTube?? Did you do anything special for that (cookies, whatever...). Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Will Trisquel be based on Debain in the future?
Linux Mint (whose philosophy with regards to Software Freedom is completely on the opposite side of the spectrum than ours by the way) is based on Ubuntu, but now also provides a Debian-based version : LMDE. It's based on Debian Testing, and from what I understand, is supposed to provide the exact same look-and-feel to the end user than the Ubuntu-based versions. The main and important difference is that this is a rolling release : install it once and you'll never have to do it again! I suppose that you also get newer versions of the programs, at the cost of stability.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to share printer
OK, everything works fine now :). Looks like I made a typo on the client side when typing the printer's name... Stupid mistake... Will be more careful in the future... Thanks everyone for your help.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to share printer
Sharing works with Linux Mint 10, which is based on Ubuntu 10.10. It also works fine with openSUSE 11.3. Maybe something was broken in Ubuntu 10.04 (on which Trisquel 4.0 is based) and has been fixed since. Will try again when Trisquel 4.5 is out (very soon I guess?). As for now, I give up :).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to share printer
Thanks, but this is exactly what's not working. But see my message above, I may have borked my install by trying too hard :). Will try again on a brand new install... Thanks again to all who responded. Will let you know if the situation improves or not.
[Trisquel-users] Unable to share printer
Hello, An HP printer is attached to my desktop running Trisquel Taranis. I am able to print from the desktop, no problem. I also have a laptop running openSUSE and I want to be able to launch a print job from that laptop. For some reason, the laptop doesn't seem to see that the printer is shared, although I have shared it through CUPS. From the CUPS interface on the server (desktop): HP-Photosmart-C4600-series (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Shared, Server Default) Connection: hp:/usb/Photosmart_C4600_series?serial=CN044HF1X305G0 From the CUPS interface on the client (laptop): HP-Photosmart-C4600-series (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared, Server Default) Connection: ipp:/vegas/printers/Photosmart-C4600-series Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Ben
