Hello Everyone,
I just want to give a big Thank You for everyone who intended the 'Linux

knowing that on my side there were enterprises like RedHat, Caixa Mágica,
Angulo Solido, Syone (our partners on this event) or
Hello Aprendiz_de_linux,
See you there then :)
I just want to add the information that you can also get Free Software
compatible computers from LibreTrend. We at LibreTrend are dedicated to only
promote Free Software as much as possible and nothing else.
But yes the point is still present, if you want to support Free Software you
Hello Everyone !
For those who live near Lisbon (Portugal), there will be the annual event
dedicated to Gnu/Linux called the Event Linux 2014. This year LibreTrend
will be there, and we will have a table showing our LibreBox, which is a
great occasion to see it, touch it, and play with it
Hello jxself and onpon4,
You are right, the problem with this system is the fact that the key is sent
to the server and the possibility (if the main code is changed) to a third
party to use that key to decrypt the message using the server (or an external
function).
Has I said it is just
Hello onpon4,
I understand, but the goal of the project was to create something secure for
internet text sharing, it isn't mean to replace a Instant Messaging software
or anything similair. The goal is just to provide a more secure browser
service based on the PasteBin idea. You are right
Hello Michał Masłowski,
I didn't knew about Fragment Identifier, I'll have a look at it, thank you ;D
I didn't knew about img.bi but it seems like a good project, I was planning
on doing something similair with my project in the future adding documents,
pictures, musics etc...

It may be interesting indeed, I need to see if this can be useful in order to
avoid sending the key to the server itself. Thank you !
I just need to be sure that the server doesn't receive anything, but once
again if it comes from the hash... I already saw something like that on a lot
of websites but didn't found any useful information about it. If it is was I

Well I wanted to avoid having the user to install something, but it is true
that this could be a good idea indeed. The question here is, many people

at all, by providing a simple way to do it (without having the

would be done directly on the OS and then copied pasted ? Or even better an
application which would encrypt every copied text (or just allowed the Paste
as Encrypted option ?)

A firefox extension would be better in my opinion but it would only work on
Firefox based browsers I need to see how a user script could really help
on doing this and how it could be easily done to the final user.
The existance of this project was just to make some encryption possible using
a PasteBin like service. I understand that the key shared with the URL may
not be perfect (or secure at all), but I still think that it is possible to
create protection from here, even if the password if written by
Hello Everyone !
I want to present my first official LibreTrend project. It is something I've

Hello Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross,
You are absolutely right. I've just mentioned github because it was the one I

Hello tkm625,
Good question. Well for now it isn't possible to change the CPU nor the GPU.
I have plans for the future to provide a version with a changeable CPU/GPU
but for now, because of the size of the LibreBox, it is quite difficult to
make it fit everything there.

Hello Everyone,
I've been looking more deeply into Intel's chipsets and all of the

those bad technologies which we should (as free software users) never use,
like the vPro for example.
But my question is, what is

knowing and understanding the cause) since System76 and ZaReason are still

I am just saying that we should create something unique where it is
necessary. For example, why re-create Nautilus if it work so well ? We can
just solve the problem with the new versions by following the Ubuntu example
by keeping the old Nautilus 3.2 on the 3.4 Gnome base. Why change Gnome
I've found something important. This only happens with Gnome, I've tried
Gnome Shell, Unity, Gnome Classic (Trisquel default), Xfce, Openbox and KDE
and the only ones which the problem is existent is with the Gnome Versions
(Gnome Shell, Unity and Gnome Classic).
Can this by due to a
Hi Magic Banana,
I don't see GNOME as bad, I just see a bunch of bad choices, nothing else. I
still continue to think that GNOME is the best DE in place with an excelent
base. Now with Gnome 3 we can edit the whole shell with just a couple of
Javascript lines in order to create something
Hello moorland, and before anything: Welcome to this wonderful community :D
I can be wrong but it seems to be an hardware failure. What you can do is
this :
1 - Boot Trisquel on the CD
2 - Trisquel Menu System Settings
3 - Open Disk Utility
4 - In the left side of the Disk Utility window
Hi again moorland,
Well if you are new to Gnu/Linux it is true that talking already about the
terminal can be really bad for the image. But it is a very important
administrator tool and because of this we can't (as administrators) live
without it :D - But that's not the point...
To open
We can't use those applications without the new GTK changes. So we need to be
dependent on Gnome in order to use them (or just spend a lot of time editing
them) and so use Gnome 3.8. I agree that the new Gnome 3.8 applications are
just beautiful, but they are also very buggy and too much
For the bug reporting I agree with you it need to be done. But some changes
can't be made. I remember reading a bunch of bug reports on the issues page
that couldn't be solved because it has been updated in the newest version of
Ubuntu and not on the 12.04 - I can talk about the gfx bug with

Well this is actually something I could try, but how to ?
Hi grimlok,
The Login Manager is GDM so the only things that you can (easily at least)
change is the wallpaper - and even for that simple task you will need few
terminal commands. Otherwise you can use another Login Manager like lightDM
(used in Ubuntu for example) which can provide more
So, let me see if I understood it well :
1 - I create a file starting with 00 (like 00_MsiPowerSuspend) in the

Until now this works, I can now Suspend with the pm-powersave false option
selected. Now I need to find

Just another question, where is the best place to put the initial script ? -
In order to boot with the pm-powersave false option before the GDM Window.

I remember working with the runlevels when I was on arch. But I never found
and easy way (as the arch way was) to do that in Debian based systems (the
same with daemons and modules), but I will eventually find out :D
Thanks for the information !
Well you can do that. You just need to download a GTK3 theme and copy it in
the /usr/share/themes folder (in order to have it for all users) or in the
~/.local/share/themes folder if you want to use it with only one account.

Hello Everyone,
I have great news :D (More for me than anything else but still).
For those that readed the posts about this subject from me they already know
that I need a POS with certified software from the Portuguese Finances, so my

Thank you for the answers. I know that it would be better to have an already
installed KDE version, unless someone just made a simple script that would
remove any gnome package and install all the kde packages and vice versa.
I'm not saying that Trisquel need to change. No distro need to change because
they all have a purpose, and an idea behind. I just wanted to see the
diversity of the answers in this specific topic.

This is an old problem from the Ubuntu installation, that sees the Usb Stick

Just one question,
Hello Everyone,
This question may have been already asked but I since I couldn't find it I
will post (again ?).
In Trisquel 5.5, for me, the big thing missing was the native support for
Compiz. But after some searching I've found that it could be achieved simply
by installing and
Hi there,
No. This was what I wanted on Trisquel 5.5 but I've solved it out quite
easily. What I want on Trisquel 6.0 is to load without Compiz (since there is
no Gnome Classic (No Effects) option.
Just by curiosity. I've had a look at the
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse sources from Ubuntu 12.04 (base of
Trisquel 6.0) and it seems to be 100% GPLv2 (at least I don't see any other
license reference or license itself).
So, and if I understand right, the only change that needs to
It seems that the problem only occurs with Gnome and not with any other DE.
But, does someone know where I can find the image of Triskel 6.0 ? I would
like to install it from scratch instead of downloading it from a current
Trisquel 6.0 installation.
One of the things that have been forgoton since the first release of Trisquel
6.0, and is also silly if you think about it, is the Use Only Free Software
on the grub menu... I'm wondering what it does to the Trisquel
installation...
Some bugs still need to be solved. The problem is when
Hello again,

Thank you once again ! That was the problem :D
Running pm-powersave to false solved the problem. Now that I know where

Hello everyone,
I've been testing Trisquel 5.5 and Trisquel 6.0 to see what of the two will
be better for my daily use on my laptop (since my desktop doesn't have any
problem with the 2, I am using Trisquel 6.0 on it) because of the Sound
Problem on Trisquel 5.5 and the Slow Problem
I've found that it is related to the Slow problem (because of the nouveau
driver). I've tested with compiz and firefox is slow, mutter from Gnome3 it
is the same, but without any composite (like while using openbox) or the
nomodeset enable, this problems don't occur and firefox is fast
It will not fix the issue since the issue is on the Kernel side where the
drivers have been removed because of their lack of quality (funny to know
that they have not been removed from Parabola).
I am telling this because I've never been able to install or use any
Virtualbox (Free or not Free) under Trisquel 5.5 or Trisquel 6.0 always
because of the same error while the module was compiling (from the Trisquel
servers or from the Oracle's website).
When I searched for the answers
Trisquel 6 has still a lot of issues unsolved (and not related to Ubuntu)
that need to be solved.
Other than that I am quite sad to see the non invisible bar like the 5.5
release (but I didn't found a solution myself to this).
I have the NV92 models (9600M GT and 9800GT) and I have to admit that they
work perfectly under only Free Drivers (Nouveau of course)... Even if the
performance aren't at the same level as the Proprietary ones (and I don't
mind that), they are more stable and more painless tu use and this is
