Hey MySelf,
I made an account on your wiki. I can help with writing/editing. I don't
really know where to start. Let me know if I can help with something.
Nice find lembas!
Those cameras look awesome. It's nice to know that these exist,even if
they're priced out of most peoples' reach. I see that Ephel's market is
probably businesses.
I wonder what it would take to get one of those cameras in working order for
regular people.
Do you know of any cameras that save videos as webm or ogg?
One that can translate sentences and paragraphs, and not just one word at a
time. I'd like to use it for (English to/from) Chinese (simplified and
traditional) and Spanish.
It looks like a great resource; I'll take a closer look this weekend.
Oh man, that is so awesome!
I put together a list of articles about third-party control. Could you have
a look, and let me know if you have suggestions.

Thanks a lot Leny; that really helps.
STMP, POP, and IMAP are free, right? And then there are other proprietary
alternatives (as you said)?
Does Lemote have any relation to Imagination Technologies? I'm asking in
relation to Legimet's post here:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/new-mips-single-board-computer
For example: a non-free software proprietor stops software/security updates
to old-format, and introduces new-format, to encourage everyone to buy
new-software.
Links to articles would be great if you know of any.
It's a free communication protocol, right?
Does Tox.im use a free communication protocol? I suppose that because it's
free software, anyone can figure out how the protocol works?
In practice, at the moment, only Tox.im uses its protocol right?
nice work
thanks Ali
I imagine that there's a lot that people can do with tools like this. I
opened a documentation page for it here:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/information-processing
I don't know whether Information Processing is the most appropriate name.
If there's a better name, please open a new page,
My first run of the script was successful, and I now have a
basename-matches PDF. I renamed the match file to word-word-#ofhits.pdf
I run the script a second time, on that basename-matches PDF
(word-word-#ofhits.pdf), to achieve the and functionality. Unfortunatley,
on this second run,
Trisquel comes with programs like mv and pdfunite right? Do most gnu users
(like me until very recently) have them on the computer and not use them? Or
do popular GUI programs depend on these kinds of programs to do things (like
export to pdf in LibreOffice)?
Thanks for the tip; I hadn't thought about how to structure the search in
this way. I will review how I'm doing my searches with this in mind.
My largest set of PDFs is 80 files. In that set, some PDFs are as big as ~20
mb, some are only ~500 kb.
In the newest version of pdf-page-grep, the number of matching pages is
restricted to 1021 right? I can search my PDFs in smaller groups if this is
the case.
I think that I understand -- pdfjam lets the computer group the matches
without first creating an individual PDF for each page-match.
I will read the new script to spot the differences and to try to understand
how you did it.
The terminal gives me that warning when I tried to install pdfjam in Trisquel
7. The terminal offered to install the packages without verification.
What does authenticate/verify mean? Is it authentication/verification by the
Trisquel team?
Thanks!
nice to meet you serval
Can Pump.io accounts and Diaspora accounts communicate with eachother?
I get an error message at the end of the run, and there doesn't seem to be a
matches file in my working folder. Maybe 500+ megs of PDFs is too much. I
did a few test runs with a few 10-15 page PDFs, and that seemed to work.
I/O Error: Couldn't open file '/tmp/pdf-page-grep.PHgWDa-1022': Too
Oh, I understand now -- When I read pipe grep earlier, I thought that
pipe referred to script instruction or terminal command that I didn't know
yet.
You're right; no need to separate out the pages. I just have to pipe grep
with a second set of words to achieve and.
The script writes the basename-matches.pdf file to the same folder where
the script and PDFs are, right?
I can't find that matches file. Is it a problem if my PDFs have spaces in
the name? (Particularly the last PDF, that the script uses to create the
matches.pdf file name)
I tried running the script again today, but am having trouble. When I cd to
the directory where pdf-page-grep is, and enter pdf-page-grep, the terminal
tells me that there is no such command.
I tried moving the script to the directory in my PATH variable; I'm not sure
that this went well.
Right! Thank you!
I moved the script to the directory in my PATH variable like MB suggested.
But I'm not sure that it worked properly. I'll do a little research about
that and try again more carefully.
Is it possible to search for pages that contain words -- at least one word
from each of two groups? For example:
First group of ORs: car, truck, bus, bicycle, or motorcycle
and
Second group of ORs: blue, red, green, purple, or beige
So a good hit could have the word green and truck on
I just thought of something. I could use pdf-page-grep to do a first pass
with my first group of ORs.
Then I could split the matches file into single-page PDFs.
And then use a new set of ORs on those single-page PDFs.
This would be like having an And in the search. Is there an automatic
I want to learn Shell scripting now and will read those comments carefully --

I heard of the Lemote Yeeloong; that it used a MIPS processor, and that it
respects freedom. And I (wrongly?) associated MIPS with software freedom.
Is it up to the manufacturers to disclose hardware documentation? Just
because an architecture is free (is MIPS free?), implementation of

In case someone with a similar situation finds this page -- here's how to run
a script:
1. Open the terminal, and type:
cd [directory where your script is]
Example:
cd /home/username/Desktop/research/
Put the PDF files in the same directory
2. Then type the following, to give yourself
It took me a little while to figure out what I was looking at ... thank you
so much! I'm running the script now, and it's finding pages! This is so
cool. I'm going to PM you about that beer.
Also, thanks a lot Legimet. You guys are the best.
Does this have RYF potential?

MB, having the text would be way more useful than the PDF pages! Thanks for
recommending pdftotext and the -layout option.
I have some questions -- could you help me break this process down into
smaller steps?
I looked up pdfjam's split command online -- I think that it may be a little
proprietary software in a security-oriented distribution ... how bizarre
Is there a way to search PDF files for keywords, and then create new PDFs
that contain only the pages that contain those keywords.
I'd like to search the PDFs for words with various combinations of and and
or. Is this possible?
Thanks for working on this Icaro
I added a link to LibreTrend to the complete systems list in the
documentation. Do you know more about them?
Does anyone know how to make LXDE look like this?
Is that Trisquel 7's default appearance? It looks good.
I'll try this out -- thanks Garsmith
I wonder whether the unattractiveness helps with marketing. Maybe the idea
is that potential users will think LXDE is ugly -- and so committed to being
light-weight!
I noticed that today in the pre-release version. The computer suspended and
woke up okay, and then Freemind (mind map program) closed without warning.
Another time, after suspend and wake-up, the computer restarted without
warning.
Is this what it looks like in Trisquel Mini 7?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LXDE_desktop_full.png
Are there any (easy) customization options? Things like colour, font,
text-size, an icon dock.
great idea!
I opened a wiki page for the info that you guys are posting
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/printer-freedom
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)
Thanks again -- it worked just as you said
How can I bring it back?
I'm using Trisquel 7 by the way
Thanks wpurcell; it worked!
I now find myself in a slightly ridiculous situation. In the Add to Panel
program, I saw something called Indicator Applet Complete. I was pretty
sure that I didn't need it ... but I was curious. So I clicked on it.
I now have:
a) three wifi buttons
b) two
gNewSense seems to use mate (or maybe gnome 2); I heard that mate is a little
easier on older hardware.
I remember reading that there's no benefit in switching to mate if the
programs rely on gnome3 anyway. Is that correct? I may be totally wrong.
I'm thinking of giving gNewSense a try
Do current versions of programs require a more current version of gnome to
run? So gNewSense 3.1 will only run years-old versions of programs?
Oh I understand now -- thanks MB. I will take your advice and use Mini if I
need a lighter system down the road.
I wanted to try gNewSense for the nostalgic gui, and the possibility of
getting a little more battery life out of my laptop. My laptop handles
standard Trisquel fine though,
Trisquel 7 seems mostly pretty good to me, but I would caution people who are
thinking about installing it as a main OS.
GNU Cash doesn't work properly in Trisquel 7 yet, and I had a little trouble
with Add/Remove Programs. I recommend checking the Issues page and asking

Does Triskel 7 come with Plasma 5? Or will it auto-update to Plasma 5?
What's the key combination for this search feature? Does it work like

Thanks Sachin, I'll check this out

In Trisquel 6, I could drag a window to the right or left side of the screen,
and the window would occupy that half of the screen.
The windows in Trisquel 7 don't seem to work like that. I like that feature
in 6; I hope that it makes it into 7.
The left, right, and backspace keys don't work in GNU Cash.

Hi Dave, that was me. I messaged you about Tox; I saw your topic about it
and thought that I would give it a try too. My ID is:

I'm going on the assumption that people who want accessibility features might
check the documentation to see what Trisquel offers. If our accessibility
documentation looks thin, they may go somewhere else.
I'll try and learn about accessibility features so that maybe I can

It was really cool to see Chris
My scanner isn't listening to Simple Scan's preference settings. It's the
same for the few other scanners that I have tried.
I'll try pdfjam. I found some instructions for pdfjam's trim command
(Example 6 on the page below).
If anyone finds that when it comes out, please share
Haha. Well, he would have been proud!
Thanks again!
Cool table Chris. But so many penguins, and no gnus!? Everyone knows that a

I think that someone tried to explain that to me before, and I didn't really
understand. I understand now! Thanks for explaining
Thanks MB and Legimet. I added your ideas to this page, under free

It doesn't seem to work offline; I think that it checks a server for
definitons. Or I haven't figured out how to use it properly/as software

looking up words in their database isn't something you would be able to do
in your computer.
The premise in this statement is that we want to do the task with a server.
That premise affects the answer (yes, we can only look up a word on a
server, if we use a server).
I don't think that
I just want to ask whether I understand how Abicollab works:
Users run the free Abiword software on their own computers. And rely on
abicollab.net to host the file.
Is Abicollab therefore free, and not sass? Is there any downside to relying
on Abicollab to host the file?
