So why do you think kernel 3.0.2 will help? If it is not working, it will be
due to requiring a proprietary firmware blob, that Trisquel won't include.
Sorry, you will just have to purchase a new wireless adaptor that is known to
work, for which we recommend ThinkPenguin:
Aye, stuff goes wrong inevitably with such a vast collection of programs. For
reference, https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/download-trisquel, this tells you
how to verify the signatures and checksums, so you know if it is the real
thing (not an impostor's file) and that it downloaded correctly
Did you validate the checksums and signatures when you downloaded the image?
If not try that and burn the ISO to a USB stick or CD again.
What is the N150? Is it a wireless router, or a wireless USB device? You are
not being clear at all, how are we supposed to know?
I doubt you will get some difference with kernel 3.0.2. Where did you read
about this? It is probably not supported anymore for security updates.

I like the UNTITLED rainbow bucket. Very Unity.
Is this what you are looking at?

I think that is pre-compiled software. In Trisquel, once the tar.gz archive
is downloaded, right-click it in the file manager, and select "extract here"

Those distributions are pre-configured to proxy through Tor. Maybe they are

I remember I thought Xpdf was an abomination the first time I tried it in
LXDE, but it didn't seem top bad when I tried Fluxbox (I really dislike
Fluxbox now, and prefer LXDE and Xfce). Mupdf seems much more sane.

What is SpaceFM like?
To be honest, I think I prefer the weird patterns to these corporate logos.
They feel a bit uninspired, the exception being the dolphin for MySQL (which

Thanks, I have sent you an email to discuss how I can purchase the game.
I would like to support your video game. It looks fun.
If still not working, you could try GNOME Shell, they are similar in some
ways.
I find that depending on the track certain media players play MKV files
without sound, VLC being the exception. I assume the other players use
similar codecs (e.g the GStreamer codecs). I find using Mplayer then looking

Unity shares a lot in common with GNOME Shell, so try that.
Diceware is random, that's the whole point.
It probably was not a bug. Enigmail can integrate with Thunderbird's password
manager (and it has not had a major update in years). I'm pretty certain it
can do this in Trisquel.
You can't copy and paste for security reasons. Think about it: every program
can access the clipboard, so could steal the private key and export it.
I have a password generated via the Diceware method:

It seems to be made up of several separate programs so each would need to be
packaged individually.
Quick and dirty Debian packaging is actually reasonably simple. You make a

A level set on a giant inflatable jar of Surströmming.
Did you build it and then use make checkinstall? This supposedly produces a
.deb archive. I will try.
Do you have any idea why CDE is not packaged for Debian yet? There is a
package called cde but it is something else. So I suppose you could call it
cde-desktop?
Maybe they are hoping to release another 'pure' computer and will use an
Intel chip so now they will say "we tried".
The GTK theme is xfce-stellar, in case you are curious. It has become
somewhat more to my liking recently.
The package xfwm-themes provides two themes similar to what I was looking
for. The first is called mofit, clearly a sort of play-on-words. The second
is called platinum, and is similar in function. I have vowed to use the GNU
tiling wallpaper wherever possible from now on.
Purism had the means to produce a fully-free computer, possibly with an ARM,
MIPS or LowRisc CPU. They are just doing this for PR. Maybe I will sign it,
probably not. It isn't worth the paper it is written on.
Vezhniyi Vid!
I recently tried FVWM. The Window borders are similar to CDE. I like it well
enough. Maybe I will stick with that instead.
pls post screenshot w/ CDE.
I am going to install it tonight. Thanks for pointing me there.
I made a GNU tiling wallpaper.
It was actually quite hard to get it 'just right'.
I hope you all like it.
Try apt-get -f install Then try and install again.
When I have used the Synaptic Package Manager I have found that selecting
large numbers of packages to install/remove/upgrade can lead to confusion
somehow. It will say "you have broken packages" sometimes.
MIPS is just not there yet. Apparently it has poor performance. So I would go
for a Libreboot computer from Minifree or an ARM Chromebook supported in
Libreboot, with Debian GNU/Linux.
Will they be on Tor as well? You might be better with TorChat.

It probably does not matter about whether the domain is a .onion one, if I am

Aye but we are not talking about Trisquel 8, which does not exist yet. We are

I'm not saying it is not free software. Of that I have no doubt.
Just that the term "ecosystem" is really pretentious.
It sounds like you have just left some sort of weird business course on "IP
law" and all that crap.
Evasive is not the right word.
I think, clandestine is a better word. It is not right to include ZFS if it
violates the GPL. They are just as bad for including it, and just as bad for
including proprietary software.
Canonical have 'not invented here' syndrome. Snap packages are a load of bs.
If Debian wanted to comply with the GNU FSDG, they would merely need to stop
having contrib and non-free repositories on their official servers and not
showing people how to install non-free software. They are free apart from
that. I know some people here use Debian. I think they know about

My computer has an Nvidia card, supported in Trisquel. It has 1GoB memory.

No, it does not. There is no page for the Tor Browser Bundle in the Free

the same as the Tor Browser Bundle.

Go ahead, but it will be lots if work for little gain and you will probably
throw up problems you did not anticipate.
Torbutton just proxies traffic through Tor, which is not enough to give you
anonymity. TBB blocks code execution, so that would include the DRM schemes.
Tor Browser Bundle connects through Tor. You probably shouldn't use it for
anything else.

It's actually kind of appealing, in a retro 90s way, like Game Boy games or

Tor Browser Bundle is configured so that you do not reveal your identity by
mistake. It is very easy to do, most people have revealed their identity
without knowing. You might think "these browsers are libre, they make me
anonymous" but they still reveal things that are unique, like system
It is libre, and in my opinion kind of crap, but the data-collection is a
turn-off, but as long as you use it right then there is no harm.
Whatever, it is your computer.
It does not really matter. It is not ideal, but Tor Browser is designed to
"blend in" and act like Firefox on Windows, while blocking really nasty stuff
around the internet.
So don't use it if you are overly concerned about it, do if you want
reasonable anonymity.

It's possible to make the Beaglebone Black boot with only free software, if

This is to an extent true, but computers designed for Windows Vista (some of
them have in excess of 1-2GoB of RAM) generally can handle GNOME Shell if
they are Intel computers.
It's true that computers designed for XP and earlier are generally better for
something more lightweight though.
I have actually decided that GNOME Shell with GNOME-classic should be the
default.
I have tried GNOME-panel a lot, and it is quite underwhelming. The
application menus don't show all the applications; things like the Tweak Tool

To be honest I just use physical notebooks. They don't ever run out of power

I think CyanogenMod is really the bare minimum, or AOSP built from source,

Some old window managers require you to make a special .xinitrc file. This
usually works.
Would you use it daily, then?
I think Firefox looks somewhat out-of-place there. I think Dillo is a better
fit for the 90s.
Links? I would be up for that
Don't try and remove the WiFi chip. It is, as you said, soldered. Since they
are very small usually you might end up pulling other stuff off too. I once
de-assembled a radio. I pulled off a capacitor and after that it would only
make a clicking noise.
So, the Tor browser bundle warns people not to open files downloaded through
Tor except offline. I assume it is fine to open them automatically in the
browser because you are connected to Tor, in pdf.js?
IceCat can display PDFs. NoScript does not block it, at least for me, and
there is an option to allow/deny pdf.js.
So your IceCat is probably a chilly old moggy, on its last legs and surviving
on spam and old breadcrusts.
It turns out the Sony readers all run a simple GNU/Linux system called
"Montavista Linux". So in theory it would be possible to port some custom
software to it. Have a look here. They have ways of modding icons:

Some people here also recommend Searx (e.g. https://searx.laquadrature.net,
searx.me). It runs on just free software. It does give different results
though to Duck Duck Go alone in my experience so I often use both.
You should raise the issue with the developers. I think it is silly too.
Get the Replicant SDK:
http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SDK

I do not know why they don't include it. Probably because it is a pain to
