Trisquel is not an insubstantial contributor to our bottom line though. It's far surpassed what I ever thought possible. We don't support Trisquel for the money. It has to do with it being pure to the cause. If it wasn't there is zero chance I'd have contacted Rubén about it. There are certain things that Trisquel excels at though. One of them is hardware support. I'll take some credit for this. It's not so much that you have a broad ray of compatible hardware as you have a small set of hardware that works well. Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and other distributions can't compete with Trisquel here. They include non-free components that could lose support from the manufacturer at any given time. Adobe's Flash Oracle's Java Lexmark printers Alongside many others. There have been issues in the recent past and there is no reason think that companies are going to stop discontinuing hardware or support. There is a threat to losing support for anything dependent on non-free software. Even where the license agreements ensure that companies can continue to distribute a piece of non-free software there is no way to make sure that software continues to be safe to distribute.

On 06/07/2012 02:45 AM, holger.be...@gmail.com wrote: Chris, it seems logical to me that someone would not use any Flash-based storage for heavy random write-access. I do not think that the interface (USB vs. SATA vs. IDE) plays a big part here. A CF card inside a USB card reader will have a different lifespan compared to the CF card in a Flash2IDE adapter. The german part of the C't article I posted says this: Their script was writing more or less random data to a 2GB usb stick (full data write). Every 50 writes the script checked if the data at the stick was written correctly by MD5 checksum. After a month they were doing more than 16 milions (!) write access which translates to a volume of 23.5 TB data written to the USB stick. To quote one of the archlinux wiki entries I mentioned: Note: A 32GB SSD with a mediocre 10x write amplification factor, a standard 1 write/erase cycle, and 10GB of data written per day, would get an 8 years life expectancy. It gets better with bigger SSDs and modern controllers with less write amplificati OK, even with a standard 10k write/erase cycles for flash cells and 10GB data volume written to a SSD (which of course might have techically different layout, different write algorithms) they expect a life expectancy of 8 years. Unfortunately I do not have the DVD from C't magazine (http://www.heise.de/ct/) from 2006, so I can not find out which script they used but this is no problem. I will do the following (may be this weekend): Write a script which fills up a USB device with random data and compares the written file with the source file via MD5 checksum. Once the file written to the USB device is different from the source file I will stop the test. Then I will publish the results here. I have both an old 1GB USB stick and several smaller CF cards lying here around which I do not mind trashing. A rough outline of the test scenario is this: 1) Create a RAM disk on my Linux box holding the source file (to minimize read access to my HDD) via tempfs 2) Create a file inside the RAM disk with roughly the size from the target device via dd from /dev/random 3) Generate the MD5 checksum from the source file in the RAM disk 4) Wipe the target device via rm -rf * 5) Copy the source file to the target device 6) Generate MD5 checksum of the target device file 7) Write loop count and MD5 checksum to a log file 8) If source and target files differ stop the loop Unfortunately I neither have enough RAM in my system to set up a 16 GB RAM disk), nor am I willing to shell 10€ for a 16GB USB stick simply to trash it. This is up to someone else with bigger wallet and a more beefy system. I will both publish the bash script and interim results to the mailing list as I guess this is interesting for everyone running Trisquel from Flash. By posting the script everyone can try himself how flash stands up the intense use. We will see. Being an engineer myself I rather trust those things I can see / try out myself than relying on ańything that someone else posted. Oh yes, and my Debian system on the 4GB CF received the usual apt-get update / apt-get upgrade as soon as I was aware of any security fixes. This means at least once a week. And as for the lower write speed of the USB Flash devices compared to SSD or even a normal HDD you will most likely only notice it during installation, updates and of course if saving bigger files. A normal use (writing mails, surfing the web, watching video, listening to podcasts, etc.) means usually much lower write access. HTH, Holger FYI: I have been using USB sticks and SDXC cards (in a Lexar USB adapter) to test Installs of Fedora 17 from the USB/SDXC. I have never had a failure. All tests required a f17 disk-utility re-format to GPT and fat /dev/sdb1. I was able to create persistent USB's of the live.iso's; Build USB's that install DVD contents to HD; and do dd writes and liveusb-creator (with persistence) with no failures. I recommend using a custom format of /Bios Boot +/ ext4 and no swap. when formatting. I have not tried LVM on a USB I have seen NO failures in the 2-3 years that I have been writing to these USB's _Including some $4.95 EMtec 4 GB usb's.- (I normally use HP125, Toshiba 8 and 16GB; Lexar Firefly 2GB and 4 GB.)

[Trisquel-users] Trisquel : Wndows Server 2012 R2. Mouse pointer becomes white square.
I am a new member of this community. I have searched for an answer to my question without success and apologize if it has already been answered unknown to me. I have to log into Windows Server 2012 R2 for work purposes. When I do so using Trisquel, as soon as I reach the Server desktop the mouse pointer becomes a white square. This does not happen with Xubuntu ( which I use with the libre kernel) or indeed Windows 10 ( which I don't like to use at all) I would really like to migrate totally to Trisquel. Is anyone able to offer any help? Thank you!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel : Wndows Server 2012 R2. Mouse pointer becomes white square.
Yes. Understood. However I have no choice but to use Citrix for work. My question is whether I can continue to use Trisquel as my base guest operating system when visiting my work server. It appears not, since, unlike Debian and Ubuntu, Trisquel has this problem with the mouse. My purpose was to try to see if there is a solution so that I could continue to use Trisquel. It appears not and that I shall have to use a different distro. It was worth a try.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel : Wndows Server 2012 R2. Mouse pointer becomes white square.
I have avoided adding Citrix precisely because it is proprietary. I shall try Vinagre. Thanks for the help.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Script to remove nonfree software from Ubuntu
I don't like ubuntu also. with there polices. For example restricted boot. fedora did a better job than ubuntu. However I want my Gnome-shell and Tribler. Ubuntu is more stable then Debian unstable, by the looks of things. Though I am looking at Debian unstable and aptosid. Trying to decide if it would be suitable for my HDA (home server). Arch/Parabola prints a error msg that I can't escape. It even invades cfdisk! Anyway something ubuntu based looks like the least work. So I hate to type(say) it but ubuntu looks best for me. Unless Debian is going to work out ok for me. I don't like redhat/fedora/blag for there remove of comments from there kernel and Tribler is also a pain to get working if at all in fedora.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Script to remove nonfree software from Ubuntu
Sorry. I should have said I was talking about ubuntu base but with with non-free contamination removed. I didn't say Trisquel because of the context of a script to decontaminate ubuntu. Re Parabola. I might try it on my newish main monster PC. So thanks for the offer. This ant a webserver but I would like to have http and some HTML. I'm a web server newbie. I do need to lean for my biz though. network shares, downloads, backup, etc. So I do plan to have a GUI for stats and managing and more. I could use Trisquel but if I am going to make the effort I would like it to be something a bit more recent or safer in the long term. I do want Trisquel to live. For at least a few more years so IF my biz does make money I can become a paying member :). Assuming my distro choice does not change by then. On 19/10/12 00:39, aliasb...@gmail.com wrote: Well I have to be honest with you. I didn't tried a lot of Distributions for Server, but the ones I've tried, I have to say that, if you want something easy to use then use Trisquel, if you want something a little bit harder but better customization, then use Parabola Gnu/Linux. I would wanted to say Ubuntu instead of Trisquel but I can't promote non-free distributions (even know I almost already done it several times and I'm sorry). But for Trisquel just don't do the same error as me.. don't forget to select an Environment (like the Trisquel Console Environment), or you will have... well... a beautiful, shinny, glossy black screen with nothing :D (Btw is there anyone that could explain to me what is the Trisquel Sugar on Toast thing ? That made me laugh for half an hour but I still don't know what is it xD). PS: For servers, you have Ubuntu Server which is excelent but cames with a lot of non-free software, and worse (!) a lot of Ubuntu garbage like the Ubuntu Landscape message (that is very annoying). Debian I only tried it with Turnkey Linux and it was amazing (even if not good for a personal Server). So my recommend would be (if you don't want to have a lot of work but still are capable of using only the console) to install Trisquel Gnu/Linux (last version available stable) NetInstall, why Net Install ? Because it is small, and only installs what you want and nothing else... (and it says GLAMP :D It is the first Distro that says GLAMP instead of LAMP and just because of that I will donate money when I get some xD). I mostly recommend terminal-only for a server because (in my opinion) it doesn't make any sense to use precious resources with visual environments, but once again, you are master of you Software and Hardware. So just to resume this whole messy text (like I always do), install Virtualbox (if you can... I honestly had problems using it on Trisquel to be honest), and just install the version you may like of Trisquel 5.5 (or 6 when it's out), after this just try out stuff :D Install GLAMP (don't forget to select Bridged Network in order to have access from the Host to the Guest), install phpbb3 or moodle or even drupal since it is easier and try out stuff and see if it is what you want and what you need. I really had in mind to use Parabola GNU/Linux as a server but then I saw all the work done automatically by the .deb version of GLAMP (and others) that are available in Trisquel, Ubuntu, Debian etc... and I just changed my mind :D (Sorry for the long text... If you need any help with anything, even Parabola, just ask and I would be glad to help)

[Trisquel-users] Base Alternitive: Aptosid ?
I have been trying out the distribution Aptosid. It's based on Debian Unstable. It's cutting edge, rolling release but most of the time it's _*stable*_. I have been using if for a month now and not had any problems. So apps like Tribler -The future of bit-torrent.- are in the repos :). So with this as the base you get latest goodies even more up to date than ubuntu. Could this make for a good base for Trisquel? They have good documentation. They encourage non-free. Most of the technical work is done unlike ubuntu! No non-free kernal blobs by default. The non-free repo does not seam to be kept separate, The is not non-free repo to disable in the package manager. I guess work that would need to be done is: * Anti non-free encouraging doc. * IceWeasel anti non-free addons/plugins (you need to install adobe trash...) * Exterminate (remove) the non-free repo. * Put doc licensed under the GNU FDL back in the main(free) repo instead of the non-free repo. * Gnome iso image. http://aptosid.com/

I personally think that the future is with the rolling distributions rather than with the stable distributions, but not a rolling-on-the-second, just a simple rolling-close-to-stable. Something that doesn't require reinstalation, format etc... But for this we need to change a lot of things first and we will face the same problems as always : - How often will we update the Installation ISO ? - Is the base prepared to repair itself in case of upgrade problem (which normally is handled by the user since he knows what he is doing or else he wouldn't install a rolling distribution). - Can the same base be updated not when the update is out but (for example) every 5 years ? Would this corrupt anything ? - How to handle new technologies ? Like Unity... if Ubuntu was Rolling how Ubuntu would make Unity default and use lightdm instead of GDM without asking the user to do anything (or even choose) ? Only after those questions are asked correctly we will start to see rolling distributions used in enterprises. I have myself a server running Parabola, but I never updated it fully (only partially if any security issue is going on) because I know that something could lead to an important change that I can't predict and this could ruin my whole installation. But I'll be honest with you.. I am more of a Rolling Distribution Guy... I just started to adapt myself (again) into the stable distributions (since I can't get Parabola to recognize my printer every time I updated cups) but a totally Free Rolling Distribution based on debian (since they solve those kind of questions directly when packaging) could be really awesome... If I knew how to build my how distribution based on aptosid (or even Ubuntu or Trisquel) I would have already made one :D Sorry, I forgot to say that I have been thinking about the problem of bad upgrades. What about having a system that held backup risky upgrades. Like xorg, glib, linux etc. Those how want too can install them to test/conform that the are no problems and then the risky upgrades get feed to the stabler installs of users. This way we get two in one. Rolling and tested release based and unlike ubuntu the current Libreoffice and Firefox versions! It would be a compromise. Now, How to keep upgrades back? Separate repo? Does that mean we would need to have our own mirrors? Or a package that sets up the excluding/delaying of upgrades according to a list on the Trisquel server?

Attached is my Conky config. Conky is a system monitor that is running

[Trisquel-users] Bypass Cameras h264 Encoder Via HDMI?

I have been wanting too test (Pending getting some hdmi cables + adaptors and access to a hdmi screen or buying an hdmi2vga.) to see if one gets a raw out not a preview from ones camera via hdmi and if so that would mean with a suitable encoding monster computer one can avoid the video ever going into h264! Yay! I have a damcannon powershot SX260HS with CDHK.

I'd assume that it has an AMD video card, which generally require nonfree drivers for 3D acceleration to work. I hope Linus and other copyright holders of the Linux kernel will take legal action against manufacturers who don't release the source code of their drivers. It is a GPL violation, as the drivers become part of the kernel once installed, and legally must be licensed under the GPL, too. I don't think you understand. arm world GPL violation is different from x86 and non-free drivers and firmware. They can make non-free drivers and firmware and one can install them. Installing them does not violate the GPL. They do violate the GPL if they use GPL'ed code.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel tablet
I want a tablet too. The only one I recommend getting is http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/kde_tablet/ http://makeplaylive.com/ Unlike other tablets this one is future prof. It's upgradable. Pop out the old CPU card which you can then cheaply reuse in another case/product or in your own project or sell on. Pop in your new one. Cost wise I expect it to be around the same as these other tablets but cheaper in the long run. Best and most important fact for last: Rhombus-tech are a free software and prefer free hardware project (whatever they do will be free hardware but some ones else’s cpu card or case might not be. I belive that's the how/what it is.). Read the wiki and the join the mailing list for more info http://rhombus-tech.net I have an ideas of mine mindmap @: http://rhombus-tech.aross.me Do mention you want to buy on the Rhombus-tech mailing list. It will get there. Hardware exists already. There doing revisions http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/kde_tablet/news/ and then ramp into production. I believe everything (ie manufacturing) is in place. If people didn't want to wait, then a load of £ would speed the rhobmus-tech project up but other wise they will work away and get it done, just slower. So help fund the future :) instead of a com that doesn't care about you rights. bbc yuck via xmbc addon: https://code.google.com/p/xbmc-iplayerv2/

VirtualBox Appliances Must Be Cleared or Cloned before use. This has been confirmed today in tests and discussion on #sugar with silbe; Cerlyn; dogi; satellit; and Robot101: This MUST BE DONE or collisions on f1 neighborhood view of the jabber, or local network, will occur between separate copies of the identical appliance. This will result in blanking of the f1 neighborhood view. VERY IMPORTANT 1-) To Make a new VM (clear the journal and all identity information) enter the command rm ~ rf /.sugar in terminal; then sudo su, (password) then in root terminal: shutdown -h now This will clear the user information on your VM and let you start with a new install. do ls -a in sugar-terminal to be sure that '''.sugar''' is visible in the terminal. 2-) To Clone a VM or UNUSER[1] ie; keep the journal contents with it's installed .xo applications enter the command rm ~/.sugar/default/owner.key* in sugar terminal then sudo su, (password)then in root terminal: shutdown -h now Export the VirtualBox; or Clone the VMworkstation; before opening the Emulator/Appliance files again. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Emulator_image_files#VirtualBox_Appliances_Must_Be_Cleared_or_Cloned Tom Gilliard satellit on IRC freenode [1] thanks to doji

Hi jason; I think we talked tonight Tom Gilliard satellit on IRC #sugar and #trisquel Bend Oregon volunteer with sugarlabs.org (retired) : ) I think quidam is in spain? jason.alden.ben...@gmail.com wrote: I have another idea. The Slashdot.org crowd seems to really love open source, and often libre software. You usually are better getting an article accepted if you can summarize, i.e. post the interesting parts of the press release. I have to say, the main page of Trisquel.info helped catch my eye, so kudos to quidam and whoever is behind whole page layout. I think it is a little late to post the last announcement, but perhaps lamenting on the libre part will peak interest with Slaine's release. I have had an article or to accepted, and would be glad to do it. Also mentioned was that Sugar will be on an education version. Sugar has been talked about before often as well...

It tries to recognize a network adapter (or something similar) and then after it doesn't find it it asks me to choose a repository which it can't verify and thus it can't go to the next step. Can you not let that particular form without text and follow up? Please, that some one correct me, but it must be a bug of the installer software and so, you shouldn't have problems with other installations. The graphic installer which takes about 10 minutes to load (maybe even more than that) simply crashes. Will an older version of Trisquel support my old computer (it has 128 MB memory and 233 MHz)? ESCTABon grub: try adding nomodeset in boot line (it turns off plymouth for fedora Sugar on a Stick fedora boots. Worth a try... I think that you could try install Trisquel 3.5 (maybe it gnome interface is lighter and also, e.g., my dad's laptop cannot boot plymouth which is in Trisquel from 4.0 ), and when it is installed, try to use use the system although it was very slow and then you should be able to install (previosly downloaded from another computer) selected packages from a CD, for example lxde (although remove default packages is not encouraged). Alternatively, why you don't buy a network adapter? They are cheaper than 10 euros, or you can borrow one from another computer during the installation process. I did manage to install an old version of Debian from 2005 which simply let me select no adapter available (or something similar) in the text installer. I think that you should not experience the adapter problem in most of the other alternatives that you try.
