Hi all
trisquel has been working great on a ssd, but when installed to a 7200rpm
rotary sata3 drive (other hardware the same) (with the same trisquel 5.5
64bit iso image(md5sum checked))
synaptic package manager just flashes when run from the icon, when it is run
from the command line it
There was a weird bug when Trisquel 5.5 was released and, as far as I
remember, this was provoking this exact error when Synaptic was executed. The
fix was to disable (and then re-enable?) the visual alerts in the
accessibility menu.
What response do you expect?
We don't like nonfree software. We don't think it should exist. That's why we
use a completely free distro, Trisquel, and not other distros like Ubuntu or
Linux Mint or even Fedora.
Knowing this, how do you expect to convince anyone here that a decision is

It is true that you you are repeating yourself. Something else that is true
is that you never answer the points we make. We talk freedom to users. You
always answer money to developers (even at the expense of the users'
freedoms). I start to wonder if you only are an extreme troll or if you
I'll be blunt with you in saying that the rights of the developer and user
should both be respected and not just the user. It is true that GPL code
forces contribution of source code and can benefit the developer if that is
their angle. No one should be forced by a license written by an

As we all know, there was the article by RMS about the JavaScript Trap and
some extensions like LibreJS that block non-free JavaScript code. With that
in mind, has there been similar thought about web fonts that are downloaded

It is *not* true that GPL code forces contribution of source code. It is a
freedom. Not an obligation. Has anybody ever come to you and say you use the
Linux kernel under the GPL license, you are forced to contribute to its
development?
You keep on talking about donations. Again: the vast
With that in mind, has there been similar thought about web

I had some thoughts and I cannot find my notes about it. Other

Debian is optionally free. You have the main repository which becomes

Trisquel GNU/Linux is viable for a server. But for Sage in school, hmm, there

That is a very interesting concept and it could be the best way to go in

fixed would be far too hard, and at some point some update could force other
things you don't want to update to become updated, unless you

This does create confusion for some people because while the LGPL is a
copyleft license, it allows it to be used in proprietary software as long as
the LGPL stays respected. Looking back, do you think Stallman and the FSF
regret having the LGPL as an option?
I actually agree with you on that at 200%. Every community I went trough:

- Ubuntu Community (Portuguese French and English)
- Arch Linux Community (General)
- Hackintosh Community (Yes I had my time xD)

Outdated software probably helped. I doubt Wheezy will be as resource
efficient, or even less if used with Gnome 3. I tried the alpha2 live cds for

The LGPL is there for certain strategic purposes, as you should already know.
There is no reason to regret its existence.

Kind of. [1] The LGPL is not recommended/ not encouraged for new code
and libraries. [1] As the article/essay it is a matter of strategy.
Not at all, this is part of their tricks, as they know people are much
involve in open source, but eventually the code within includes other
