[Trisquel-users] Newbie trying to load Trisquel on Acer Computer.

Recently bought an el cheapo Acer Aspire 1 (computer not chrome-book) with long battery life & zero memory for when I'm away from home needing wifi. Came with a disgusting spy-prog installed, called 'Windows 10'. Up until now I've begrudgingly used Windows 7. A friend suggested Trisquel as

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 codename "Flidas" Release Candidate is ready for testing

Since my last post, I managed to get a bootable system by extracting the .iso archive onto a formatted flash drive, having one FAT partition, taking up the whole disk. Once I booted this version, I tried running the screen reader, and got it started, only to have it turn off within 5

Re: [Trisquel-users] dependency-problem while updating

Hello davidpgil, i know. Still after rebooting the same error occured again. But after my last login (the computer was a few hours shut down) everything works fine. Thanks a lot!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting

Thanks. I advocate Evolution anyway, although I'd prefer it be named "Overview" to better suggest that it's an Outlook clone. Are there any freedom issues with Evolution?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 codename "Flidas" Release Candidate is ready for testing

"Given that Trisquel, like its Ubuntu base, is meant to be the most user-friendly distro for people new to GNU-Linux," I would say Trisquel is meant to be the most user-friendly distro that is fully free. That last clause matters a lot, since there are other distros that put

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 codename "Flidas" Release Candidate is ready for testing

I downloaded the 64-bit version from Jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/RC/ and wrote it to flash drive using the 'dd' command; resulting image is not bootable. I used http in the browser, which works for all other distros' live images but Trisquel.

It says something about the "device or resource" being "busy". Please excuse me, but have you already tried rebooting and upgrading again? ​Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.​ ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On April 9, 2018 1:35 PM, wrote: > Hello, > > today i got a

I'm also getting a weird issue with downloading trisquel_8.0_i686.iso from: http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/RC/ I've tried it twice, and both times, it almost downloaded, then displayed an error in the ABrowser downloads menu, saying "file moved or missing". I haven't moved the

[Trisquel-users] Trisquel-Mini Desktop Environment

Just out of curiosity, what DE was chosen for Trisquel-Mini 8? I did a search on this site and a web search, but couldn't find anything. I intend to test Trisquel-Mini once I've tested the standard T8 release. If it's LXDE/QT, I think I'll stick with the Mate DE of standard. I've found

InfraRecorder works just fine with win 10. It's practical because it need not be installed. There's a zip portable archive.

Software dos not necessarily stop working because it is old. If there is usable free software to install the live ISO, let us recommend that! We value freedom over convenience.

@ mason, loldier, Magic Banana Thank you very much. The data and questions with which you have contributed, have encouraged me to deepen my studies on .html editing. Considering the set of options I already knew and the new ones that you have suggested, I think, that for the time being, the

OK. The situation is the same as with Office documents (except that an Office document is a more effective vector of malware): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro_virus So, do whatever you do when you open an Office document.

Windows 10 burning an image is easy. Just open Explorer, right-click on the ISO and select 'Burn to disc'. Pix to follow if somebody needs them to write up instructions.

On a side note, I know this has been said a hundred times, but whoever used the downvote button on my posts, stop doing that. That button was added to mark spam and rule-breaking posts, not disagreement. I disagree with its existence, but as long as it's there, please do not abuse it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Does PlayOnLinux work with Trisquel 8?

Please do not ignore context. I said there's no use for a *libre version* of PlayOnLinux, because the whole point of it is to play proprietary games. If PlayOnLinux doesn't have its installation recipes and configuration values for proprietary Windows-only games, it does nothing for you,

Probably because the software that removes HTML tags interprets it as one (since an HTML tag begins with a less-than sign).

My wife has a Mac (running El Capitan), which I can use (with her permission) to test the MacOS instructions. We no longer own any devices running Windows (yay!), but I'm sure there are GNUbies out there who still have a dual-boot, or run Windows on a separate PC. Anybody willing to do some

True, but that refers to the *specific* exploit they tested. I'm sure you know better than to think that malware can never infect a GNU-Linux system. Getting a user to open an untrusted file from a random website, when the file type is one that is a *known vector for malware* on at least one

When you quote text this way, the two left angle brackets you use to end the quote and all text following get left out of the message sent to the mailing list. I don't know why this is, but if you stick with only the two right angle brackets at the beginning of each quoted paragraph this
