Flash is bad and there is no replacement for flash that works on all sites.
Recently I found out that soundcloud uses flash for uploading images, and
Gnash did not work with soundcloud. I decided not to use soundcloud because
of a flash requirement. For youtube I use minitube and youtube-dl.
One more question. What tracker do you recommend? Is there a
freedom-loving tracker?
Hi kokomo_joe,
I don't know if there are any trackers specifically for free software.
The Trisquel tracker is usually out-of-date and is a closed tracker,
same for gNewSense and other GNU/Linux trackers.
I have set up GNU boxes for public use before (not for a library).
For public use I would recommend booting off an image rather than installing
to HD.
Could be a cdrom internal to the box, a USB key inside that the users cannot
access or a thin client booting from the network. This
1. Trusty/14.04 (By the way, Trisquel 6 was based mon Precise/12.04)
2. Admittedly I'm not sure.
3. Move ~/.mozilla/abrowser to ~/.mozilla/icecat
4. I don't know, sorry (all is well in GNOME Shell, though)
5. Yes, for anything from Trisquel 4.0 (Ubuntu Lucid) onwards.
6. See salparidise's post
I would disagree with claiming that it doesn't work for entertainment
websites for two reasons:
1. It suggests that Trisquel is only suitable for research and work. This can
make Trisquel seem more boring than it is.
2. It doesn't cover all cases of Flash use anyway. I've seen at least one
There are solutions for other popular sites hosting videos in Flash:

I personally use ViewTube. Other users prefer Linterna Mágica, another
GreaseMonkey script.
I see your point. Better to state the facts and declare that it is not
installed/disabled.
As for today 08/08/2014 the packages missing are available, at least for
i386.
Please check if you can do the upgrade too :)
I have a few suggestions -
Set the browser home page to Trisquel's all-manuals page:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/all-manuals
Put free-sw-friendly websites in the bookmarks. For example, for music :
bandcamp.com , Jamendo (please correct me if these websites are not good
suggestions)
I upgraded on amd64 a few days (Trisquel 6), so I guess it's only for i386.
No, it's not.
Libreplanet, FSF, Diaspora, a reliable and well-stocked mediagoblin
instance, owncloud, Think Penguin, JXSelf, all good suggested bookmarks
for that Trisquel box in the library.
Yes I am loading it up with Open Library, Wikipedia, Archive.org, Creative
Commons, and others as well.
In regards to using images:
Can I create an image that consists of all the programs I want to load the
box with?
Thanks for all of the responses!
1) Thank you, this should be very useful when troubleshooting.
*Legimet:*
2) Re: .Xmodmap:
a) x11-server-utils was not installed with the Trisquel installation. I
assumed it was installed together with the OS, so this was the first problem.
I installed it.
Fellows,
I only found this: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trixquel-trisquel-con-xfce
which is in Spanish and is blocked. I want to share how I manged to do this,
and I don't know if I should make a new manual for it. So, I will show it in
the next post, just in case that I have to change
I don't have time to go through all the process right now (I will continue
later), but basically, you have to do this (use with care, and let me know if
it worked; more references will come):
Remove any display manager
Make sure there is no $HOME/.xinitrc (or that it sources
I thought about writing a simple HTML page with links to various libre sites
and setting that as the homepage :D
Thanks a lot for recommending minitube! Looks great. I use youtube-dl, which
I still find very useful, but never heard of minitube before. Do you know if
it's possible to configure it to work through a proxy or vpn?
Anybody interested in going can come and check out our product line up in
person. We'll have a table, some laptops, a desktop or two, and a variety of
small items. Everything is free software friendly and compatible with the new
Trisquel 7 out-of-the-box.

I think people are confused because the color laser printer in our catalog
doesn't have Trisquel listed. It's not that Trisquel is not supported, but
rather it is that Trisquel 6 is not supported by the HP driver out of the
box, but it is supported 'out of the box' to some degree (at least
It works for me now. I'm using the AMD64 system.
There is a USB audio standard that most headsets should comply with.
Unfortunately there are devices that don't comply so you might run into a
problem. As always model numbers don't equal chipsets. I don't believe we
have USB headsets in our catalog. The closest thing we have is a USB
These are not free software friendly and would not work in Trisquel. Not to
mention they have poor support in GNU/Linux in general should you install the
non-free components. The quality is also extremely poor on these cheap
adapters.
Honestly the best choice for a wifi adapter is not this
This isn't factually correct. It was designed and manufactured by another
company. Unex is just a middleman in the chain. Companies as big as Sony have
also utilized this adapter, but I'm apparently the only one who knows about
it. I haven't seen any records online of it. However I've spoken
