Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU/LINUX logo and logotype

2014-09-18 Thread debianlinux
nice, but i think that will contribute to name the OS linux rather than gnu/linux, the gnu part isn't so explicit for a new user. it seems to me that this logo was for a new distro rather than for general porpouse. that's my point of view, i don't mean to be critical, it look nice, but this

Indeed, it's not a well designed logo and I certainly don't recommend it for use, because GNU is depicted as a _detail_ of LINUX. This can't be right considering GNU is the system and Linux is just its core at center (kernel). You can also read Dragora's developer response:

I was alt+tabbing when suddenly my screen froze. I can't even switch terminals. I know this is possible but I'm dissapointed and was not expecting that. I was forced to reboot it with press-holding the power button. This also is not the first time it's happened to me.

Happens. To rule out corrupted memory you can boot off a Trisquel live CD/DVD/USB and run the mem checker all night long. And when it happens again, it's best to try REISUB before resorting to the power switch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq

This is a VERY serious issue. Why is there not even an official comment? I feel very uncomfortable recommending Trisquel to anyone at this point if there are no guaranteed security updates.

The logo looks great, but GNU should be emphasized more AFAIK, GNU contributes far much more than Linux.

you asked for opinion so: I even think that the horn in the logo isn't so intuitivemy point of view. The symbols already exixts I don't think that reinvent one it is good idea, you can upgrade the already existing one, but create a mixed one that seems totally new create fragmentation

[Trisquel-users] libreboot only for x60 or also other same cpu computers?

2014-09-18 Thread svhaab
To my knowledge libreboot only supports the thinkpad x60 (and t60). The duo core cpus in thinkpad x60 are t2300 and t2400. The libreboot bios will only work on the thinkpad x60? If another computer brand has a t2300 or t2400 cpu build in, libreboot will not work on the computer?

There are several other CPUs used in X60/X60s/X60t, like L7400 (64-bit Core 2 Duo). Every board needs a different coreboot/libreboot build: X60 and T60 need different while they have the same chipsets and CPUs. Northbridge (i945), southbridge (ICH-7) and EC are more important than CPUs for boot

Spot on, there is usually very little that the firmware has to do with the CPU's, the motherboard is really the deciding factor.
