Hi Axgb,
I've read that Libreoffice Draw can be used as an alternative to Microsoft
Publisher. It definitely has the capabilities to open and edit Publisher
files anyway. Also Scribus is supposed to be good.
Hope this helps!

Oh, well that's okay, I'm not the free software movement. Just a guy
stating his personal opinion about Debian being a perfectly fine OS to use.
..Possibly excepting how damn slow apt-get seems to be on it.. I'll take
pacman any day... xD
Yes, if you have some WiFi chip that needs firmware
It is the manual I pointed to.
Because it uses GStreamer, PiTiVi (in Trisquel's default install) can
import/export any video format.
I think you're missing the point.
Hosting proprietary software or asking whether user want to use it or not is
not the same as recommending it.
Anyway, the differences between the goals of the fsf and debian are so
extremly tiny compared to their similarities that it's almost a crime that
One thing I believe should be considered is this: if Debian did not exist
then gnewsense, trisquel, ubuntu, tails, mint, and a lot of other distros,
would probably not exist either. If we read the social contract of debian, we
see they are serious about helping the society to have freedom
Thanks for the link for the end of america video. DAMN :S
That was weird... it was nothing I did not know already (except some of the
examples they gave) but it was scary to see the way things are going.
Hey, do you have any similar information about what is the situation on
europe and asia?
Maybe it's the end of the world that is coming, yes so what? Does that
means you have to go and attack someone who simply shared information? Dude,
relax
why ridiculous?? It seems like a sane thing to do, if you can't buy another
tv and want to use it to watch private files, or simply don't want them to
learn your viewing habits.
But thanks for the idea of the firewall =)
Wait a minute, who said the end of the world is coming, and why are you
swallowing such nonsense (nonsense which isn't new; there have been countless
end-of-the-world predictions, e.g. recently it was supposed to happen in
2012)?
Your comment was a reply to my comment which was a reply to Jodiendo
comment... In which he talks about the end of the world (another way to say
end of days). So, my comment was basically saying that maybe jodiendo is
right and the end of days/world is coming but that does not justify is
Debian does not provide non-free software
Please read Michał's comment above.
Putting debian on the same list as ubuntu, is a little offending.
Debian put Debian onto that list. Shame on them.
Truth is we probably should make a petition for the fsf to accept debian as
a fsf endorsed distro,
Hey all,
Is it possible to install Trisquel without an internet connection? I am
installing in text mode, and it says that it needs to have an internet
connection. This computer does not have an ethernet card in it.
Thanks,

No, it's simply lack of freedom.
Hmmm I'm currently running debian wheezy with 100% free software in it.
I'm searching for the lack of freedom... ah, now I've got it!
I'm not free because on some debian server proprietary software is hostet,
and in some installer there exists an option I don't
What part of that post suggests end of the world to you?
I added some text about the Youtube All HTML5 script, the Unplug plugin, and
disabling Gnash Plugin to the manual page on viewing videos without Flash.
WebM is perfectly good for non-web use. But yes, they can all export Theora,
and same goes for WebM and Matroska. PiTiVi has a tendency to fail to export
many of the formats it's supposed to support, though, and I've gotten mixed
results with it (and sometimes it crashes or locks up, so make
Oh! (Facepalm) XD
Why don't we make a topic specific about it? And in the Spanish forums
they're planning to make videos to promote free software as well as Trisquel.
Why don't we begin as well? I mean, we can begin by discussing what software
can we use to edit our videos! :D
I try to stay away from the usual forum moderation as much as possible, as
our community has shown to be perfectly able to deal with confrontation in
the most polite way most of the times.
In this case, though, you have repeteadly used ad hominem attacks (or that
would appear to be your
I'm not free because on some debian server proprietary software is hosted,

Yeah, it's clearly the lack of freedom, you're right!
Allow me to intervene although this is my first post here. I don't think
anyone argued about whether you
There doesn't seem to be an option not to use it though.
Hey, guys. Have you seen Jupiter Broadcasting? That should be a good way to
promote free software as well as Trisquel OS, don't you think?

No if you install Debian in your mother's machine and don't manually add
the non-free repository, she will hardly do so herself, because she will
probably trust the installation procedure her son did. Debian installs
without non-free, it's a choice of the user, the same that exists in
In text mode? Are you using the net installer? That does require an internet
connection. The live CD doesn't.
I made it from my current installation from the iso using startup disk
creator.
For the last time: the end of days is an expression that the Bible uses to
refer to the end of the world (destruction of everything that exists and
the making of a new universe). Either you believe it or not, Jodiendo WAS
talking about the end of the world. And what I said about freedom
Uh, it looks to me like he was mocking religion, not suggesting that the
world is going to end.
I remember having the same issue... I think you can force the installer to
go on without internet (I had to keep choosing the other options time and
time again).
Sorry, but it has been a long time and don't remember the specifics :S
I just wonder, what is the best source of support for the Open Hardware
movement from this point of view? Maybe a proprietary software company alike
Microsoft?
No. Microsoft is never the answer. :P
If he was mocking, he was wrong in doing so.
And still: maybe the world is going to end, maybe it's not... Doesn't mean he
can mistreat another user for no good reason. Especially one who was simpy
posting information.
Show me the user who is able to install a gnu/linux system by himself but
knows so little about technical stuff that he is by mistake running
proprietary software.
Maybe there will be one such person in the next ten years.
There are millions of persons who still have to run proprietary
Hmm... do you think maybe searching for the way to do it in Ubuntu may work?
Explain something: why do you use text installer? The graphical installer
does the job with no problem. what exactly you need? :)
Well, if the person does not understand the difference between gratis and
libre software, that could happen. I think it's important to keep educating
people. But, as you say, Debian should be considered free and libre, because
it's what it is. Telling someone you either use Trisquel or you
Hey guys !!
I need your help !
I want to change the theme of my gnome panel. So I use the Windows+Alt+Right
click shortcut to do this :
In the Panel Properties, I unselected None (use system theme) and I
selected Solid color
But with this method, some parts of my panel don't change
The graphical installer hangs up and just gives me a blank screen, I figured
the text installer would tell me why. Plus, I like the traditional
installers anyways. I just don't understand why it defaults to going out to
the internet to get installation files. That is a flaw to me. If you
I don't really know the details of Debian and gNewSense but from what you
said so far it seems resonable to make a Recognize Debian petition to FSF.
But I think they would start looking at the brand as a whole and might
question some documentation that refers to non-free stuff (if that

Yes I do, I recently made Quince jam. It is the right sweetness for me.
Obviously the sweetness depends on the amount of sugar added
LOL good luck man... soon, very soon, the high priests of Trisquel will
start destroying each bit of your very soul... you dared saying that in some
way Trisquel is not the best OS in the world, they will not forgive you :S
Lol, seriously now, expect a debate here ;)
Even more seriously,
Openoffice vs LibreOffice... really, do we need a Super Power Beat Down?
LibreOffice is the clear best choice. Also, because it is developed by the
Open Document Foundation, supporting it is supporting a freer society. And
OpenOffice was not being actively developed last time I checked
Are you sure it's the correct iso? How bit was the file you downloaded?
Would the big email providers block my address even if their customer emailed

I called up a local DSL provider; they told me:
Static IP: available for a small fee
Port 80: open
Port 25: available, but must opt-in with my own router
MLPP: they have multi link point protocol ...I'm not sure what this means
Do I need any other ports to run OwnCloud?

Well, if the person does not understand the difference between gratis and
libre software, that could happen.
If a person doesn't understand this difference, it clearly *will* happen
someday anyway.
And how should such a person end up using trisquel instead?

1: Is there a way to watch Flash videos without using proprietary clients?
I'm interested in a subscription to the English subtitled Baduk TV from Go
Game Guru, but it appears as if the videos are using Flash. Here's
We've had this discussion before where kernels matching the Ubuntu release
may be the best for stability. Sure, you can always get the most bleeding
edge kernel available, but the ones from Ubuntu are tested for that OS and
all jxself or Ruben have to do is blacklist and remove specific
Video streaming varies. For the example you gave, none of the usual options
worked for me.
For the record, the solutions I always try are (in order):
* UnPlug (Abrowser/Firefox extension).
* Finding the appropriate video URL and pasting it into VLC (media player
found in Trisquel's repo).
OpenOffice, Apache OpenOffice as it's called now, is being actively
developed, with version 4 now out and stuff.
And more to the point. LibreOffice has a crap logo and a greenish theme.
OpenOffice is all pretty blue. Obviously that's what matters. =o Also should
also root for the underdog.
Here is the file I downloaded:

Thank you! :-)
We should also recall that Debian was originally funded by the FSF. :)

Mint menu is a separate package called mintmenu (it's probably available
from wherever you installed MATE). After it's installed you should be able to
add it to your panel like any other panel widget.
As for my favorite desktop - probably Xfce right now, but I enjoyed Gnome 2
before that.
Favorite DE is GNOME, KDE is a fairly good alternative (though I haven't used
KDE much), and Cinnamon is decent, but cluttered.

It would also be useful to post your review in the Reviews tab at:
The Linux Action Show really turned me off. They're all Linux, Linux,

episodes, I'm not sure it would be. They'd need to first change their show
Yes, it's good to help invalidate patents. At the same time, though, it's

No, I mean... XD Why don't we do something like that to promote free
software?
You can find some options to replace the surveillance program called Flash!

Oops, your YouTube link and my link to the Trisquel review on LAS lead to the
same content.
Yeah, I know they did review it. But I mean, why don't we do something like
what they're doing but just to promote free software! And yeah, I also

Yes, this is a new problem in Trisquel 6. It has to do with the gnome 3
transition.
I don't think there's an easy way to fix it. All Trisquel source code is
provided and can be freely modified.
One solution that might or might not be viable is to use another panel
altogether, like tint2.

As easy to use as Trisquel is with the right hardware the whole thing tends
to require a lot of hand holding for the average user, patience, and work (ie
resistance to using non-free software). I think you might find there are a
lot of people out there who are very much against censorship,
