[Trisquel-users] Sound card issues

2012-12-31 Thread boyd . hanalei . ako
At one time the sound card on my laptop worked fine without issues. I guess after an update or a package install it went all screwy on me. Now, after every reboot I have run `sudo alsa force-reload` to get my sound card working. Anybody know how to make it so I don't have to type every time

Adding 'alsa force-reload' to the file /etc/rc.local (before the 'exit' line of course) will probably work. You need administrator's privileges to edit this file. For instance: $ sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

[Trisquel-users] Free software?

2012-12-31 Thread larmondt
I'm new to Trisquel. I get that the OS is a libre distro approved by the FSF, but does this mean that all of the software that you are allowed to get from the repositories are also free software? Or does this just apply to the OS and the OS updates?

What is the difference between the OS and the repositories? All our repositories contain only free software, while you can use other repositories that might contain nonfree software and aren't recommended by us. pgpMxsmzGbagc.pgp Description: PGP signature

And should you find software in the repositories that isn't free software, file a bug and it will be promptly removed.

I thought gksudo was just a graphical frontend for entering your password for sudo. It does something different?

You can try to update the kernel to the latest version. Hopefully your card nos is supported...

Apparently gksudo sets HOME=~root, and copies .Xauthority to a tmp directory. This prevents files in your home directory becoming owned by Root.

As for the Minetest issue, you might want to re-compile it. From what I understand, Debian and Ubuntu (and therefore Trisquel) aren't binary compatible, despite one coming from the other. So, something that works on Debian isn't guaranteed to work on Trisquel.

If you aren't using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers I'd suggest compiling the game again on Trisquel. Debian 6 is older than Trisquel 5.5 so whatever works on Debian 6 should work on Trisquel 5.5 (generally speaking). As miga said Debian and Ubuntu/Trisquel are not binaurally compatible.

I believe there are only a few Bluetooth chipsets from Atheros available and these include the: AR3001, AR3002, AR3011, and AR3012. All of these use the ath3k driver/firmware. The driver is free software friendly although the firmware is not. I would suggest avoiding boards with Atheros

I've successfully updated the kernel when you suggested. For me, it fixes the issue, I can confirm this. The Minetest game is working fine. Since I've installed libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental, which adds extra 3D acceleration I should also add that according to glxinfo, my renderer is now
