@elayer12: Also, taskbar is called GNOME Panel in Trisquel.
Nope, unless you manually increase the scaling factor. However, this feature
will be very likely available in future releases of Trisquel as different
desktop environments are making progress on this.
> The advantage of vector based formats is that their quality remains
regardless of their size.
This is not completely true. Overly detailed images will likely going to look
blurry at small scales, while less detailed images are simply going to look
bad at bigger sizes.
> I cannot
Optimizations are mostly needed for very small icons when there's only a
limited amount of pixels to use, however, more details can be added at larger
sizes (up to 512x512 pixels). Vector icons are NOT the type of
one-size-fits-all. They look good within a range of sizes they were designed
This isn't about that I don't like vector graphics formats (I prefer SVG
whenever I can!), it's just that working with them (in Inkscape) is
impossibly hard, and totally user-unfriendly (far worse than using GIMP).
That, and because I usually use raster images as source when creating or
Actually, MATE with Icedove (Thunderbird) and Enigmail is the way to go. d;)
I don't understand your question. What do you mean by "what is the
configuration-file of the launcher?"

@OP: Evolution is a part of Gnome and cannot be removed completely. What you
can do is to open Synaptic and search for term "evolution", then try to
remove packages related to it, one-by-one. That was my technic I used back on
Trisquel 4.0 to get rid of it.
Also, the GUI based solution for adding an existing icon to your launcher is
by using the Main Menu tool (alacarte). You can access it by right-clicking
on the Trisquel icon (Applications), or through System Settings. Then follow:
select your launcher → Properties → click on the icon
I
PNG is the preferred format, however, several others such as BMP, GIF, ICO,
SVG, XPM are also accepted. Application icons showed in Main Menu are of
24x24 pixels, so you'll have to make sure that the icon will be "readable" at
this size.
Vector based formats are the preferred choice when designing and optimizing
an icon (set) for a specific target dimension (e.g. 24x24 pixels), but in the
latter choice, the display quality will regardless stay the same. However,
you're right about preferring SVG(Z) since this would involve
OK. (sorry for the delay)
Finally, I'm in the stage where my changes are fully working. There's one
important thing left to do before they will be usable. I would like to know
where should I place

if (system("which kchmviewer > /dev/null") == 0)
{

VirtualBox is under GPLv2, besides the Extension Pack which is under PUEL.
The main problem with it is that some parts require non-free compilers,
tools, and operating systems to be built. I'm not using these parts so this
doesn't affect me.
The error message is telling you that there's not enough free space on the
file system partition where tmp is.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Thanks, this'll sure come handy. I'm gonna test it right away.
On the subject, do you also know how to redirect the output of which

system()? I recieved a suggestion on Stack Overflow to use it instead, but

I'm using the older code from before the developers rewrote it for Open
Watcom. However, the BIOS is only one of the several freedom issues that
VirtualBox currently has.
While I'm sure you (and other people here) are interested to know the details
about this, I decided that I would rather not initiate a discussion about
this until the time comes. Hopefully, it will be soon.
GParted can wipe the existing partitions off your hard drive. Just create a
bootable DVD/USB from the downloadable Trisquel ISO image, then boot into the
live environment. From there you can find it under System Settings.
I only mentioned the relevant message there (see the attached screenshot

I understood that part, I just don't understand C++ yet. The main problem is
that I'm unable to test the changed code before the compilation, only after.
Together this means that it's very difficult for me to work on the code.
I replaced #define with bool as suggested (note: why this doesn't work?)
if (system("which kchmviewer > /dev/null") == 0)
{
// "which kchmviewer" exit code 0
bool useKchmviewer = true;
}

So, you're telling me that C++, a powerful programming language that's

VirtualBox 5.0.4 has a fix for Linux 4.2 so you might just try and check it
out.
You have to download the official package from https://jitsi.org/. The last
time I checked, the version available in Trisquel 7.0 had some connection
issues (i.e. the global status was always "Offline").

I tested Baidu Pan, and the upload speed (using BCloud) was ~180kB/s, while
the download (using JDownloader) was 1-2MB/s. However, as

Thanks for the tip. I'm still in the phase when I'm just toying with various
cloud storage providers and trying to find a reliable way to do this for
free. However, if I have to pay for the storage, I'll rather buy the hardware
by myself than paying a monthly rental fee, that's for sure.
This is a little off-topic question, but I'll explain it below. Currently I'm

I know, I'm already using ownCloud with OpenMailBox, but it only has 1GB of
free storage. I'm searching a way to get more without the need of building a
NAS (low security as hard drives tend to wear out after few years of use) or
paying for cloud storage (don't like monthly payments).
I'm feeling your sarcasm here, but who cares if I'm going to encrypt all my
uploaded files?
Also, what's the difference when using an ownCloud based service? That
doesn't give me anything more security-wise.
I just want to test the service. Is there something bad with that?
Also, AFAIK they're using data deduplication to offer that much space.
Buying a computer with Windows preinstalled is the worst thing you can do,

Ah, ok. :) But that's too much hassle especially as there's no good way to

- Trisquel doesn't promote the use of non-free software; Debian does.
- Ubuntu-based distributions, such as Trisquel, are more widely supported in
the non-free world due to its popularity and widespread adoption. It's worth
