Re: [Trisquel-users] OGG Player /w Rockbox Firmware
There are many reasons to assume it is not free. Often, distros say they are free. But by free, they mean gratuity and not freedom. Rockbox is not a linux distribution, it is an open source operating system that is unrelated to linux but also distributed under the GPL. I didn't personally work on this project so I'm not 100% sure. However the person who worked on it suggested Rockbox does some dirty stuff. It patches the non-free image I believe. We do not patch anything. Everything in Rockbox is GPLv2+ or GPLv2+ compatible (i.e. we use Xiph's tremor which is BSD) and you can compile the entire OS and all install tools without even a single binary from us (or anyone). Depending on how your device's ROM works, YOU may need to patch it in order to gain the freedom to execute arbitrary code. This is your choice. If you're not comfortable hacking some proprietary ROM, buy a player in which this is not required.

Roboq6, you are right and even if I'm teasing with you, what you show is interesting. More generally, most people fill full of personal information inside forms, so just use a search engine and type their name for absolutely everything about them. IP Adress is one way to confirm the location. Best regards.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Please, help me get rid of Skype.
For voice call with me (with Trisquel 6.0) and friends with Windows, I use Empathy and they use Psi. Psi doesn't have video however. Sometimes the voice call wont start, so we try several times until it does, switching between who initiates the calls. The situation is not ideal.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?
The one problem with Asus is they don't sell notebooks without MS Windows. @Chris They do. It depends on the market they are offered to. I can find a lot of large screen notebooks without a preinstalled system (actually they have FreeDos) in my local shops. Most laptops are without a system (76%), some with Windows (18%), and a few with Ubuntu (6%). The bad thing is Asus does recommend Windows, and most likely doesn't care about free software compatibility.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Privacy Security Tech to Watchful of: vPro
Several months ago guy proposed a plan for making a FSF-endorseable embedded processor (at Slashdot). The guy goes by the alias of lkcl and as I understand he is also working on a freedom respecting tablet (news). His plan for a free processor seems reasonable. It looks like this is a way we can achieve freedom respecting computers. But it won't be easy for our community, since it requires a lot of money.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I can easily steal your privacy data. Even with disabled cookies and Javascripts.
Er, no. Did I say that my location was reported in the right city? When I said it was several miles off, I mean it; it's not even in the same county. We're talking *dozens* of miles away from my actual location. Go ahead, go to the city/town you think I'm in by my IP address and search every house; you won't find me. The only way you can find me is if you have a huge army to search the entire state of Michigan, or if I tell you where I live.

Re: [Trisquel-users] I can easily steal your privacy data. Even with disabled cookies and Javascripts.
The success of this attack (if I may call it this way) depends on the absence of privacy and security measures in the target side, and also on his decision to share, or not, personal information over the Internet. Frankly, my computer is not that secure, mostly because I'm not that experienced using GNU+Linux systems. But anyway, the Internet modem and router are close to me, one of them has a power button, and I can easy unplug or reboot them (to get a new IP address), if I so desire. Also, I use GNU+Linux, and I have a live operating system ready inside one USB storage device, which makes it easy for me, not to recover, but to completely remove the previous system and install it again from scratch. Just to mention that I don't keep personal data inside the hard disk devices, and most of it is password-protected. Also, as I am an artist, I also keep the source files (for compliance with the shared culture licenses), but they are separated from my computer's hard disk device. Despite not using Tor, Privoxy and Anonymouse regularly. I configured my main web browser to clear history, cookies, and etc. every time I close it. I'm still somehow worried if my practices are good enough if evaluated by more experienced people. At least for me, they are. Best regards, ADFENO. Have a nice day.

Re: [Trisquel-users] I can easily steal your privacy data. Even with disabled cookies and Javascripts.
You don't need any special service or software to do this. You can easily do it with your computer and nc (netcat) – a program which is installed by default with Trisquel. In this forum, you can embed an external images to your forum posts. With this you can see the IP-address and information send by the browser of almost all who see your post. You can make a post like this: Hi, all! Let me tell you something... img src=http://208.80.152.201/image.png; alt= ... When a browser opens a web page, it sees many img .../ codes like the one above. For every such code a browser goes and tries to download an image from the given address. In the example post above the embedded image and it's on a computer with an IP address of 208.80.152.201. Practically all browsers will try to connect to it, even if the image doesn't really exists. If this address is of your computer, then browsers will try to connect to it and identify themselves. You can listen for browsers trying to get an image from you computer with the command: sudo nc -vl 80 When a computer connects to another it gives its IP address, so it can receive replies. When a browsers connects to a server it sends various information, including what kind of a browser it is. The browser identification is optional and non-essential information, but generally all browsers provide it. When someone tries to open the image you'll receive something like this: Connection from 208.118.235.148 port 80 [tcp/http] accepted GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: 208.80.152.201 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:20.0) Gecko/20130422 Firefox/20.0 Accept: image/png,image/*;q=0.8,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate DNT: 1 Connection: keep-alive You'll also need to configure your router for this to work, if you are behind one. With the above information, it's hard to determine which forum user is actually assosiated with the IP-address and browser information, since many people will read the post. But its not too hard, if you are a bit creative. Also, most people won't notice someone embedding images of some strange address.

Girls/males from a dating sites will not understand that I had fooled them about my nationality roboq6: IMHO, this information will be useful to people, who are afraid of personal spies much more than the Big Brother.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?
I found myself in this situaiton --looking for a laptop-- a few weeks ago. Buying a computer with proprietary software --new or used-- supports people involved in that business model. It's money that could support businesses that are friendlier to our community. We have to research so many aspects of compatibility before buying from a non-free hardware distributors. That's because people who came before us purchased from non-free hardware distributors. Just as we are doing here today. And finding a free-software compatible computer, from a proprietary software/hardware vendor, is no assurance that you'll be able to find a similarly free-software-friendly computer from them the next time you're in the market for a computer. Supporting a free-hardware distributor is at least some assurance of that.

Re: [Trisquel-users] WiFi with latest Linux-Kernel
Linux-libre has a bad habit of blocking/blacklisting wireless driver modules, so you cannot use your wireless card/key even if you have installed the required firmware. People can argue that it's neccessary evil because without this precaution, people can be easily fooled, because they will think that the particular device is FLOSS compatible, while in fact, it requires a proprietary binary firmware in able to make it work. If you ask me, I think it's just a bullsh** to limit the users freedom to do on his/her computer whatever they want.

They accept patches; loading such firmware without recommending it to users is a missing feature of a very low priority.

This whole thing seems that it's simply the original poster needs to enable the ath9k kernel module in their .config when compiling the kernel. The other option is to use mine, as ath9k is already enabled: http://jxself.org/linux-libre/

Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?
That's one reason. If free-hardware distributors disappear or scale back their offerings, for lack of demand, the non-free ones will have a bigger share of the market. Curtosey of our community. Also, as Chris said, others will see you using the hardware. People may take that as an endorsement or support for that item. The positive association may help those manufacturers like advertising does.

[Trisquel-users] Ways to fight against Skype. My crazy idea.
1. Run and set up a web server on your PC. 2. Use a special service for the domain for case of dynamic ip. 3.Give a link to the user of Skype. 4.Then s/he will open the link, the browser will run Flash/Java/Ajax/HTML5-based Ekiga-like software. 5.Now you can chatting! There are difficult moments, but I think that they can be significantly simplified. For example, create a script to automate the installation and configuration of the web server. This method is designed specifically for lazy and craven Skype users, like my friend. What do you think?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?
I doesn't knew Coreboot isn't fully-free (e.g. contain binary-blobs). Wikipedia states that it's released under under the GNU GPL and doesn't specify additional licenses. It's a shame, that Coreboot went the same way like Linux did. Nevertheless, if I'm stated in a position to make a decision btw. a 90% free software, or a 100% pure proprietary BIOS, I'll rather choose the prior. This doesn't change my mind because it's easier to reverse-engineer some code, rather than the whole, and possibly there will be someone who can make it and do it himself. That cryptographic thing bothers me the most, because it prevents reverse-engineering of the blob, and make the whole process that is itself very hard to do, even harder. Anyway, thanks for the clarification . P.S.: Isn't this Phoronix article I read a long time ago the same thing you're talking about?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?
1st paragraph. Agreed. It's not as easy as with a classic proprietary BIOS but it still can be done (very easily on Pixel). The Intel vs. AMD situation on the Coreboot side is a practical (Intel) vs. ethical (AMD) choice. On the desktop side, I would probably go for AMD (Coreboot) and buy a Nouveau supported nVidia card, while on the laptop side I'll go for Intel. 2nd paragraph. I doesn't searched through all the Chromebook models so the older generation might contain non-Atheros cards, but those what I recommended do not, and are supported by the ath9k driver (no idea about bluetooth support, which is integrated on these cards, but I can search for this if you were interested).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Any future plan for a new ThinkPenguin All-in-One ?
Thank you for the answer Chris. This is actually a very bad news (at least for me), but it is understandable. I'm just asking this because, now that I have a new job I can (and simply want) buy a new computer, and I was looking for a all-in-one with only the power cable to connect and nothing more. Knowing that I only have the Apple iMac and the System76 Saber Complete options to choose from is quite sad :S But, just by curiosity, did you sell the last one and then removed from the list or did you still have anyone left ? Otherwise I would have to buy the Saber without the Intel Wireless and then buy the Wireless chip from ThinkPenguin (not the best choice but it's actually better than buying an iMac). Once again thank you for your fast answer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?
There are some other completely free laptops outside the Chromebooks that have a heavily out-of-date/low performance/incompetitive hardware, are very expensive, an many of are incompatible with the x86 architecture. Many of these has a proprietary BIOS that needs to be reflashed with Coreboot, which is a non-trivial task to do even for an experienced hacker, and can easily brick your device (there are recovery methods, but it requires expensive tools and professional knowledge). I can post you here the list of these devices if you're interested, but since most of these devices doesn't fulfill people basic requirements (web browsing - usually small/low resolution screen, videocalling - lack of hardware accelerated encoding of video, 3d gaming - non-existent or very basic 3d acceleration), these are only just toys to play with and not a device you can rely on a business trip. http://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:Conference/2013/Program/Coreboot_Install_Party

Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?
I support re-use/recycling as well. Our posts here pit environmentalism against civil liberties. This frames the issue in a strange way: It suggests that our tiny community of free-software users could abandon their cause --civil liberties-- to contribute to the environment's well being. The environment has bigger problems than our tiny free software community. It has consumer culture generally, including non-free users, to contend with. Maybe a good compromise (every decision to use technology is a compromise with the environment) would be to buy free hardware, and commit to using it for as long as possible.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone able to stream this video without flash?
Do this: 0. Shockwave Flash plugins (Gnash/Lightspark/Flash) must be disabled from Abrowser's Add-ons Manager 1. Go to the video site you want to play (e.g. http://video.golem.de/games/10750/metro-last-light-test-fazit.html) 2. In the place where video should appear, there is a title of the video and just above a tiny little piece of an actual image. Right-click on it, and select View Background Image 3. Modify the URL of the image by replacing teaser with files, then rename the filename from QUALITY-HEIGHT-TITLE-AUTHOR-pic.jpg to TITLE-DEFINITION*.EXT*. DEFINITION - should be sd or hd EXT - should be mp4 or flv This way, you will be able to watch videos right from your web browser.
[Trisquel-users] Can I watch YouTube videos with Midori? (Trisquel Mini)
Trisquel Mini is a light version of Trisquel and comes with Midori as the default browser. Trisquel uses Abrowser and a Gnash plug-in to play YouTube and other videos, but in my experience Midori fails on YouTube, either showing blank applet space or a perpetual loading throbber. I've read various things about whether or not a plug-in is required to watch the vids, but I haven't been able to watch any in Midori. Is there a way to do it? Or do I have to use Abrowser for this?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?
What you raise a technical issues, and some of it seems to be a distraction: 3D acceleration, for example, is generally problematic no matter where you look, although that's improving, but really that's an orthogonal issue to the BIOS. The free software movement's not about technical things, and is not trying to make the argument that we can make things technically better by being free. Some people look for freedom. Others look for convenience and only use free things when they are convenient. Your response helps to clarify positions there: We're looking for different things. I'm reminded of this little blurb: http://aws.bluehome.net/better.oga I selected the ThinkPad X60s because it's supported by Coreboot and I was actually present at the Coreboot Install Party at the FSF's LibrePlanet conference. That's when Coreboot was installed on my laptop.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can I watch YouTube videos with Midori? (Trisquel Mini)
I haven't really tried much, but one thought is to enable YouTube's HTML5 trial, which will use the alternative player for HTML and Javascript for videos that don't have ads on them. Another possibility if Midori supports custom user scripts (I don't know if it does or not) is ViewTube, which is a Greasemonkey script that replaces the regular YouTube video player with a different one that lets you select the quality and format and play it with the web browser's capabilities. This is usually how I watch YouTube videos on Abrowser. I'll leave any information on how to get Gnash to work to someone else, since I don't really know about that.

There is actually PCI broadcom chipset that is compatible with Trisquel. Not sure if it is this one.

Long story short is to go with Atheros because they do a good job at supporting GNU/Linux and free software.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Any future plan for a new ThinkPenguin All-in-One ?

It's also cheap and can be bought second-handily on eBay for around $100-200 bucks: http://www.ebay.com/sch/175672/i.html?_nkw=thinkpad+t60_sop=15 Beware that this laptop is available in many different configurations, so make sure you get the one with Intel GMA graphics, and the 1400x1050 resolution display. Now this convined me to sell my own ThinkPad R60 and replace it with T60, although I read a long time ago that the motherboard in the R60 is the same as in T60, just the casing in made from different material, which is quality-wise better on the T60.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can I watch YouTube videos with Midori? (Trisquel Mini)
Tried all the above, neither worked for me. Personally, the best YouTube experience you can get on Trisquel is with a program called SMPlayer YouTube Browser (it's not perfect though, because it does not support WebM). To install it on Toutatis (Trisquel 6.0), open a Terminal window ([Ctrl]+[Alt]+[T]), then write: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rvm/smplayer sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install smtube Then start the program (from Sound Video), click on the button with a screwdriver on it, and set player to MPlayer (and if you have a slow connection, you can also set quality to normal). Now just search for your favourite video, double-click on it, and enjoy the playback. Btw, you can switch to fullscreen anytime by pressing [F]. Enjoy!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone able to stream this video without flash?
This is really stupid, because the image and video filename differs from each other. So, it's really just about coincidence and luck, if a video starts to play. In theory, the flash player parses a video playlist in XML format, that contains the direct link to the video file, but I does not found any way how to retrieve the link for that file. Maybe someone here is more competent for this kind of work and can retrieve that link for you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can I watch YouTube videos with Midori? (Trisquel Mini)
The latest version of Midori plays back YouTube fine using ViewTube or Linterna Magica with Lightspark or Gnash. Just get the latest Midori and WebKit via PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webkit-team sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude upgrade

You can also use regular SMPlayer to playback YouTube links which supports WebM as default format in options-preferences-performance
