Whatever the given reason is for this decision, you can rest assured that the
NSA is probably behind it. There's no easier way to spy on the country than
to make sure every router sold has a back door to facilitate it.
I've been using ivpn.net, have been pretty satisfied with their service. I
would recommend using a VPN that is outside the US in a privacy friendly
jurisdiction.
wget https://trisquel.info/files/issues/remove-format-args.patch
This first step worked fineit connected and saved the patch.
sudo patch -d /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages -p1 remove-format-args.patch
This spit out the message

So is this actually a push for real net-neutrality? Or is this the sort of
zillion page, Google-previewed-and-approved plan for corporate and government
control of the net that was institued in the United States by the FCC under
the name of net-neutrality?
There's open source software, and there's free software.
Being willing to release source code qualifies as the former, but demanding
donations for access means it isn't free.
I upgraded to 7.0 and could never get the video issue solved with my Radeon.
Ended up going back to 6.0.

So far, things have been going well. This is a reinstall of 6.0LTS that I've
kept up to date after upgrading my prior 6.0 install to 7.0 and losing high
definition screen resolution which I
I think that free modern computers will be available to us. It will simply
be a matter of other nations producing and selling their own hardware.
Eventually, if US tech companies continue along this path they will probably
lose all foreign customers.
Phone security is a big issue these days.
My recommended solution is to get a wifi-only tablet for secure communiations
loaded with something like a combination of Redphone and Silent Text with a
good overseas commercial VPN and get a non-smart (flip) phone for voice and
text when you are
The biggest security vulnerability that Windows has is the from-the-factory
back door access that has shipped with every version of Windows since before
XP.
The 80s were the decade of the Apple ][, the IBM PC, the Atari 400/800, and
the Commodore Vic 20.
Dial up modems at 300/1200/2400 baud and eventually faster.
Single line BBS systems.
Same problem before I ended up rolling back to 6.
You could do what I did: when I had graphics problems with 7.0...reinstall
6.0LTS and go about your business.
I've tried Debian, Ubuntu, and Lubuntu.
I've found that Trisquel strikes that perfect blend between stablity,
performance, and ease of use.
I've also noticed that the graphics rendering is not only slower, but that
the 1920x1080 default resolution that I had for my wide screen monitor is now
only displaying a default 1280x1024, with my other options being 1024x768 and
800x600. There seems to be no xorg.conf file written
Well, ended up giving up and reinstalling 6.0LTS. Couldn't get the screen
resolution problem fixed regardless of what I did to xorg.conf...and the
terminal reported a memory leak error every time I gave myself su rights.
In the bottom right corner of the screen on the taskbar there's a network
monitor icon with two small monitor screens as an icon. Left clicking on it
brings up a menu that includes VPN connections. I used the configure VPN
option from it to import the configuration files for the various
After doing a little reading, it would appear that Netgear, D-link, and Cisco
have some sort of backdoor. If you're concerned about router security, I'm
guessing DD-WRT or some other open source firmware is something to consider.
I successfully configured the VPN options and imported the configuration
files but when I try to connect from the GUI it says connection failed
because of invalid VPN secrets I've searched for a solution for this but
haven't really come up with much that's helpful.
I think it's because I
Initially I figured it was locked because the network manager wasn't
installed by default but after
sudo apt-get install openvpn network-manager-openvpn
I'm still unable to unlock it.
Any thoughts?
