[Trisquel-users] Copy/Paste in Nautilus not working

2014-10-10 Thread akubisch
Hi everybody, I just switched from Mint to Trisquel 7 (for philosophical / societal reasons actually) and am very happy with it so far! Great job! Anyway, I just tried to copy a folder in nautilus (ctrl+c) and paste it to create a copy (ctrl+v) - either I am missing some fancy new way of

Update: I found out that it does work nicely with holding either shift or ctrl and dragging the folder to its desired destination - both moving and copying work well. So was it intended that the ctrl+c/v - solution is not in there? In that case I would argue that this certainly decreases

I hear what you are saying. I just cannot give assent to allowing open source code to be used for killing and oppression. Not ever. And if that means imposing a restriction on its use then that's fine by me. Where does that lead to? Why does it have to lead anywhere? Why can there not be

I already added a link here to that issue, so I guess there is no need to do more here. However if you find another, you can find a link titled Issues on the right hand side menu and one the issues page a Create a new issue button. If you're not sure whether something is a bug perhaps it's

maybe could be done with http://www.elphel.com/ or a webcam that doesn't encode the video it self - outputs raw. I don't think any hd webcams do this. early HD cameras (hint: DLSR's ;) ) or camcorders, recorded into mjpeg which doesn’t have any fees to be paid and so I believe that format is in

There may be problems with your CD. Anyway, I suggest burning it to a flash drive instead, using something like unetbootin (which can be searched for on the web). Unetbootin supports non-free distros, though. There's a version http://www.aligunduz.org/FUSBi/ that doesn't list non-free
