Re: [Trisquel-users] Playing .swf files

Thanks for your comments, everyone. I thought I could choose which program to use when playing .swf files, as the only option I get is Gnash. I have installed Lightspark but I don't get the option to use it. I tried Shumway but it didn't work.

[Trisquel-users] [Not] including upstream keyrings

We should have a coherent policy for upstream keyrings. Currently we have all of the Debian keyrings in our repository except the debian-edu ones, and all of Ubuntu's keyrings except ubuntu-keyring. We even install ubuntukylin-keyring by default (I'm pretty sure that's a bug). One argument

The only partition you need is one for /. /home in a different partition is a good idea because /home is where you store most of your data, and you can share data across two systems this way. /boot in a different partition is only necessary or even useful if you want to use a filesystem

thanks onpon, so then /home should be fairly large in size to accommodate data right? What about /root do I need it and if so how big. By the way my hard drive is 500g (laptop) thanks

Since partitions have been mentioned, I suggest using LVM, so that you can much more easily resize partitions, take snapshots, and add storage devices transparently. For more information, consult mainly the man pages (“lvm” in section 8 contains links to more man pages) and secondarily,

2015-03-15 Thread simon . lydell
I think I can finally sum things up here. Video drivers do something called mode-setting. There are two ways of doing that: User-space mode-setting (UMS) and Kernel mode-setting (KMS). KMS is apparently technically superior over UMS. UMS requires _a lot_ of code in the video driver.

According to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xserver-xorg-video-ati, the stable version used in Debian is 1:6.14.4-8 -- that is, basically the same version as Trisquel 6. So it seems like Debian uses older software than Trisquel 7 -- more like Trisquel 6. Then, why not just use Trisquel 6? :)

The linked guide sure is helpful. I recommend it to anyone attempting to build a radeon driver. I cloned git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati and found a branch called ums. The latest commit was from 2013, even though UMS support was removed in 2012. Wow, that sounded

Don't worry about /root, that's just the home directory of the user root. I don't know of any reason to put it in a different partition than /.
