If gnewsense is not an option, then trisquel is the only system if you not  
very skilled on computers? If fsf's requirements about free software are that  
strict, that debian cannot be endorsed and trisquel is not managed on a level  
that is acceptable, shouldn't fsf take charge and provide a fsfos, that is  
maintained by fsf and applies to its standards?
Is it lack of money, that is holding fsf back? I cannot find financial  
numbers about fsf on their website. If users of free software systems are  
counted in thousands and not millions, then resources should be allocated in  
one place and I think fsf has the brand. Fsf should be much more aggressive  
on crowdfundings. They should say, if you want an up to date free software  
system, then join this crowdfunding. If the money asked for is meet, you will  
get it. Else not. The same goes for a midrange free software notebook. Ubuntu  
phone was able to gather millions. Can't fsf do the same thing about a free  
software notebook? If the money is gathered, you get the computer. Else you  
do not. Probably because there is not enough users? I should direct these  
questions to fsf. And probably will.

My points of anger as a user.
1- The failure point is on the developer for hes lack of communication to the  
public through the forums.
2- Not accepting others help as Trisquel developing members. slows the  
process of updates.
3- The single and most irritable concept, the developer is too selffish to  
take any kind of positive advice, no one. is  taking hes title of Founder of  
Trisquel but, he should listen better.
4- A lot of us want Trisquel to succeed as a top-notch Distro. but apparently  
Trisquel is losing steam among the users.
5- I would like to read from the developer only: what are hes goals for  
Trisquel in the future?

(literally!!)


Happy to know that Ruben seems reviewing the workflow and plans to rework on  
Trisquel webpages. True, once the developers meeting is up, lets hope the  
project gets real boost.


My views on Trisquel goes like this:-

1. We should understand that maintaining a project itself is a hard nut and  
Ruben is giving his best efforts. We should not rush to conclusions. The  
project is still at a nascent stage in terms of organisational structure; we  
should give it time to mature, naturally so that we get a community similar  
to Debian.


2. FSF provides Trisquel GNU/Linux OS as a gift to Associate members in a USB  
bootable card. It shows the belief that Trisquel has achieved from FSF over  
years, not only as a Free Distro but as a competent Replacement to any modern  
proprietary OS.


3. GNU website shows Trisquel Desktop snapshot to describe how well a Free  
Software can be, as a counterpart to any non-free Software in terms of ease  
of use and reliability; One more golden feather to Trisquel's effort.


4. Out of four Linux distros I have tried (Ubuntu, Debian, Gnewsense and  
Trisquel), Only Trisquel have the stability second to Debian, advanced  
software second to Ubuntu and ease of use/EUI second to Gnewsense.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot get widescreen resolution and use multiple monitors in Trisquel 7, like I could in Trisquel 6

2014-11-09 Thread simon . lydell

Thanks for explaining!

I booted Trisquel 6 in live mode from a CD, to compare things with Trisquel  
7. The same xserver-xorg-video-* packages were installed (but perhaps using  
different versions; I didn’t check that). `/etc/modprobe.d/` includes the  
same files with the same contents. `/etc/X11/xorg.conf{,vesa}` seemed  
identical too. So none of the things to try that I’ve found when  
researching—removing packages, blacklisting modules and editing  
xorg.conf—should make any difference.


My guess is that it just _happened_ to work for me in Trisquel 6. Something  
probably got updated in Trisquel 7 that now detects my graphics card.


In the end I decided to go back to Trisquel 6. I’ll use that until I feel  
like getting a new computer.


(I actually had more problems with Trisquel 7, which contributed to this  
decision: gnome-panel took a long time to appear, running for example `rm  
somefile` or `gvim .` printed warings or errors, and while upgrading I got a  
message saying that 'initramfs-tools' couldn’t be installed. But this is  
off-topic. Just noting. After a few days of trying to fix things I got tired  
of it, and needed a working computer again.)

2014-11-09 Thread Andrew Lindley
Maybe @Chris from Thinkpenguin will answer, in the meantime:

The Reddit criticism is mainly from people who don't believe the
freedom is first priority.  As one commenter points out the age of
the chipset is not really a detriment if the speed is adequate to your
Internet connection's speed.  The other criticism seems to be of
a similar nature - from someone who buys the latest thing with the
biggest number rather than take a realistic look at what they actually
need and will use.  E.g. a recent review of 802.11ac routers on the
register.co.uk pointed out that only one laptop they knew of shipped
was capable of 400Mb/s speeds, let alone faster.  So the poster
talking of 900Mb/s probably needs their x substitute complex
checking. 

The Trisquel thread is about how someone with more time than money
might be able to buy the same thing and flash it themselves for less.
Then about how it is not an ADSL router - which it plainly isn't and
the need for an additional ADSL to Ethernet modem (which I'm
personally not convinced is what he's getting from his ISP in a
meaningful way) is well known and documented.

Of note is that if you want to run the risk of doing it yourself there
is also a very specific revision of one model of a Buffalo ethernet
router supported by LibreWRT, another GNU FSDG / FSF approved small
system distro. 

Other than these two for purpose built routers the rest are merely
shades of grey and black risks in respect of security and Five
Eyes/Snowden issues.  (E.g. one major UK ISP (BT) mandates its own
router which is known to have a backdoor considered to probably be for
the use of GCHQ, police and others).

As someone else has pointed out before on the forum the third solution
is to use a second desktop [e.g. your old one] with a second NIC, WiFi
and a switch.  However, AFAIK there are no libre firewall distros so
there'll be quite some config work.  Plus the power/space requirements
rule this out for most family homes I know of.

The bottom line is the TP router being preloaded, having vendor
support and RYF certification is a win for most people.  Which is why I
pre-ordered one of the new batch.

Re: [Trisquel-users] archive file formats

2014-11-09 Thread Michał Masłowski
ZIP is free and has popular free implementations.  Recent software
handles big archives (see ZIP64).  7z produce smaller files at slower
compression and bigger memory usage: decide what's important if you can
install software there.

On Unix-like systems tar archives compressed by gzip (same compression
as ZIP) or XZ (LZMA, like in 7z) are more popular.  They compress all
files at once, unlike ZIP where each file is compressed separately (so
ZIP cannot use redundancy between different files in an archive, while
gzip can if the files are nearby).  I don't know how well ZIP handles
archives, tar has useful features for backups.

There are better formats for some special cases, e.g. initramfs
compressed with a less efficient method with a very fast decompressor is
better.

Re: [Trisquel-users] archive file formats

2014-11-09 Thread onpon4
Zip uses the same algorithm as Gzip, DEFLATE. The main difference is Zip uses  
it individually on each file, whereas Gzip uses it on the entire archive  
collectively, making Gzip better. I don't think there's really a good reason  
to use Zip, except to give something to a Windows user (since Windows only  
supports Zip archives out-of-the-box).


For password protection, as far as I know the best choice is 7-zip. Install  
the p7zip package to get full support for that format. The 7-zip format  
encrypts archives with the strongest form of AES, which from my understanding  
is OK (the U.S. government trusts it for top-secret stuff, for instance).

Re: [Trisquel-users] archive file formats

2014-11-09 Thread onpon4

By the way, here's a rundown of the formats I'd recommend:

tar.gz: Quick, basic compression. Best choice for small files, since the  
extra compression of other formats doesn't help much.


tar.xz or tar.lzma: Slower, much better compression. A good choice for really  
big files.


7z: Basically the same type of compression as tar.xz (LZMA), but has some  
additional features: it prevents redundant files from increasing the file  
size, offers encryption (password protection), and offers splitting one  
archive into multiple files.


tar.bz2 used to be a useful format for large files, but LZMA (tar.xz) makes  
it so bz2 is now only ever useful if some software handling the archive is  
incompatible with LZMA. It's pretty much in between tar.gz and tar.xz.

[Trisquel-users] Early success on a Acer C720

2014-11-09 Thread drizzuk
So just installed Trisquel 7 on a Acer C720 Chromebook and up to now  
everything seems stable and fast. I've been using Elementary OS and while  
that was good it got a little buggy so thought I'd try this after hearing  
about it on the Linux action show.


Things that work:
The Track pad, other distros have trouble on Chromebooks.

Don't work.
the 'F' keys. Chrome books don't have normal F1-12. There are hacks out there  
so may give them a try.


[Trisquel-users] How to find new installed apps?

2014-11-09 Thread knut . erik
Newbee Q: When installing new applications on standard install trisquel.  
Where do you find your applications (like icons - not hencing to cli  
applications). (In a gnome shell or unity you can search for them, but how to  
do this in standard trisquel install?)


Re: [Trisquel-users] archive file formats

2014-11-09 Thread andrew
Most workplaces install a third party compression utility on top of W$. All  
those I know of and Apple stuff understand GZIPed TAR named .tgz.  If yours  
haven't get the admins to install 7-zip which AIUI is free software.


Otherwise you'll probably run into problems with some older machines still  
having the 4GB zip boundary problem.  .tar.gz is a better format for all and  
doesn't have the4GB problem.  If they've got 7-Zip you can also use .tar.xz  
for even higher compression.


My personal preference for encrypting archives is to use GPG.  Then you've  
got more control over who can open it than just a password.  Plus, as you can  
tell from Internet Banking routinely requiring you use a token if you want to  
be able to transfer noticeable amounts of money, a password alone is not  
great security.


Domestic users generally value convenience too much for strong security  
measures which really need admin time to do it properly, e.g. how many of the  
people here check their logs for signs of intrusion?  With the reputation of  
China's security services being they're actively interested in industrial  
espionage over the Internet and with so many intrusions reported publicly in  
goverment reports each year I wouldn't advise any workplace to rely on just  
passwords for any data at all.  


Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel v7 - where is my unity?

2014-11-09 Thread rakyi
Judging by the ubuntu-session package description it indeed seems like the  
missing piece. However installing it didn't add anything in the lightdm menu.  
Running dpkg-query -L ubuntu-session shows that there are only documentation  
files included in the package, but no real .desktop or .session files (or any  
other files outside /usr/share/doc) that could have any timpact.

They should be in the menu. You can open it by clicking on the trisquel icon  
on panel at the bottom left corner of the screen.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Resolution problem

2014-11-09 Thread vvishnu . e


Hi,
 I too had a similar problem. Max resolution is 1366x768 but Trisquel  shows  
only 1024x768. Video card is ATI Mobile radeon 4570


$ lspci | grep 'VGA '
VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710/M92  
[Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v]


Tried commenting blacklist radeon on /etc/modprobe.d/disable-radeon.conf. But  
problem not yet fixed.

Any Solution

[Trisquel-users] hd video with abrowser

2014-11-09 Thread cmhobbs
I was recently introduced to viki.com and noticed that in some (non-free)  
browsers, it provided an option for HD viewing.  When I use Abrowser, it  
forces 360p and sometimes the subtitles are off.  It looks like they're using  
Flow Player.


Is there a way (using Libre software, of course) to get the HD option and  
have the subtitles keep up?  It looks like an HTML5 player.


Thanks!

It looks like an HTML5 player.

Being an HTML5 player, sadly, doesn't mean much anymore these days... :(

My research indicates that proprietary software is downloaded into your  
computer and then run in the browser when the videos are loaded and played.  
When I block this, the videos do not play. Hence, it appears that this  
proprietary software is necessary in order to watch anything at all, at any  
resolution.


EDIT: Update, it appears that the current version of youtube-dl can be used  
to grab videos from this site, once you give it the URL for the page  
containing the movie. That at least seems to avoid the issue I mentioned but  
the downloaded videos are still 360p. There doesn't seem to be a way to watch  
them in HD and still be using only free software in the process.


[Trisquel-users] Can't load 7.0

2014-11-09 Thread chubby . huggs
So I installed 6.0 from an old CD I had. Everything is fine and I'm using it  
now. I did upgrade to 7.0 and when it was over it loaded to the grub screen  
but then it stopped after that. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate  
it. I thought it was because I have a NVIDIA card but as I said I'm using 6.0  
fine.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't type in Japanese anymore

2014-11-09 Thread sv . tony
I already have the ibus-anthy package. I checked with synaptic. I installed  
it when I had the previous version of Trisquel.
The problem is that under input sources I don't get the option for  
Japanese (Anthy).


The options I get are: Japanese, Japanese (Dvorak), Japanese (Kana), Japanese  
(Kana 86), Japanese (Macintosh), Japanese (OADG 109A), Japanese (PC-98xx  
Series). I tried with normal Japanese and Japanese (Kana) but it doesn't  
work. I remember having the option for Japanese (Anthy) before the upgrade.


What would you recommend for me to do? Uninstall the ibus-anthy package and  
reinstall again? or am I missing something?
