As I explain in the original post, Replicant on the N1 is not supported
anymore, so there is no documentation for it available. Given that it's
unmaintained, it's unlikely that I'll get a response about it in the forums.
Plus, the forums there, regrettably, aren't particularly active.
I am not spreading weasel words, systemd is crap. No one has freakin audited
all the code in systemd which therefore means it is dangerous.
geez... systemd lovers are so crazy.
That's awesome! :)
Care to elaborate a little on how that is done? :)
I tried typing "$ cp -R /etc/xdg/openbox ~/.config/" like the link you guys
provided says but then I got:
"cp: invalid option -- '/'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.
I did that, but I didn't get much from that
The real slap in the face is going to be PureOS users coming here for support
because none exists on the the site where they got the software.

do not reply (especially not with more bullshit).
No, they have not. I repeat: "Please be serious: either show us obfuscated

Call me nitpicky, but I dislike that Synapses' default internet search-engine

Hello everyone,
I have a Nexus One on which I would like to install Replicant. The wiki
(https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/NexusOne) states that
it’s unmaintained, but the relevant files are still available to download.
I accept full responsibility for the device, but I
I agree with you. The alternatives at the moment are:
- to buy and use old hardware with libreboot for web browsing, some text
editing (this could be good for a big percentage of people)
- to use the me_cleaner (https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner) on newer
hardware and having a full

I see, thanks :)
Replicant is a mobile operating system based on android that has nothing to
do with Trisquel. Replicant has its own forums and documentation that will
likely be far more helpful.
Several very different kinds of software carry this name. It would be helpful
to know what software (with a link to its site) you are referring to. It
would also be helpful to know what functions of that software you are trying
to replicate. Many times when substituting there many not be a
"cp: invalid option -- '/'
You probably wrote "-" instead of "~".
Allright! cool tip! :)
I can't remember changing the default browser, but I have indeed installed
all of the available browser and tried them out because of various reasons.
But I wiped my hard disk once again and freshly installed Trisquel Mini once
again because strange things started to

My 'video_players' field looks a little different, even though we are using
the same version of youtube-viewer (3.3.1). Copy/paste that field to a text

Please for the love of god. STOP!
We both disagree with each other, clearly.
I am not your enemy. You are your own enemy.
For me Synapse uses DuckDuckGo as its search engine, and I don't see a place
to change it. Perhaps it uses the search engine of your default browser. What
is your default browser?
In general, this is a good resource for finding alternatives to a program.
Haha, I think it would be fun to have a good reason to try to use Guix SD

There is no *maintained* documentation anymore, the old documentation, which

Indeed I did.
But now I get this though:

The description of "synapse-dbg" is "semantic file launcher - debug package".
You are not debugging "synapse", therefore you do not need "synapse-dbg".

comfort) are enough to run the edition most of us know (i.e.,

No, you have not. When someone writes "Obfuscated code is why I don't trust

This time you forgot the space before "~". You can copy-paste in a terminal
emulator. Or you can use a graphical file manager to copy (that is what 'cp'
does) /etc/xdg/openbox (the "openbox" file/folder in the "xdg" folder in the
"etc" folder at the root of the file hierarchy "/") into

It's actually because I first tried to install regular Trisquel, but for some
reason it didn't work :/ I have no clue why, and checksummed .iso file also.
Trisquel Mini worked though. I should get some rewriteable DVDs though, for
trial and error purposes.
That's a feature. If you need to see files copied, use switch -v for
"verbose".
Most commands, when successful, output nothing on the screen.

In my experience, the "fastest" Libre GNU/Linux distributions were (in this
order) GuixSD, dragora, Parabola OpenRC.
Openbox, twm, i3, windowmaker, are all great window managers that should keep
your ram usage really low.

Allright Chief, thank you sincerely for everything this far! :)
I have added the package to the repository.
I assume that have added youtube-viewer
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer
via the PPA with$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
Now update the repository with$ sudo apt updateand install with$ sudo apt

Gotcha! So now it worked. youtube-viewer successfully installed. Was not able
to play videos. I changed the text in the "video players field" like you
suggested in the other thread, and that did not help.
Okay, run the UI from a terminal$ gtk-youtube-viewerattempt to play a video,
and copy/paste any errors you get here.
Wow. Interesting. How does one install it though? I'm used to ISOs ... Ive
never done anything other than an ISO install.

I don't recommend using Rekonq anyway because it has been discontinued, but
when you spot things like that you can report it here:

Yeah sure, I can try that!
How do I do that?
Yep you see perfectly the point. Maybe there is even a market for this. And
it would be a perfect competitor to Purism. I ignore the numbers that would
make this business profitable.

I have only ever used Mini. It really just boils down to preference, but I
