[Trisquel-users] Greek Polytonic Keyboard Layout

2018-08-03 Thread sophoclestechnologies
I'm running Trisquel 8. I added the "Greek Greek (polytonic)" keyboard layout, by going to "Keyboard Preferences" > "Layouts" > "Add". My issue is that I cannot access all the possible diacritics. For example, the ] key in an English (UK) keyboard has the following description in the Greek

Lots of game controllers will work. In fact most controllers that work on Windows work with the Linux joystick driver. This is the one thing to look out for: controllers that use the DirectInput protocol (an old proprietary protocol for DirectX) only work on Windows. These controllers are

Is there any gaming console type controller one can use on Trisquel instead of the mouse?

No, Palemoon source code is free software, binary forms provide by Moonchild Productions are not free software --> http://www.palemoon.org/redist.shtml PD: Also you need to change name and logo if you don't want to ask permission. For example New Moon from ROSA Linux.

It's a dead key, right?  So just press that key like normal, and then the letter it's supposed to modify.  Pressing the dead key will not print anything to the screen. For example, on the UK QWERTY layout with dead keys, you press the ` key and nothing shows up, but when you press e directly

onpon4 is right.  My ex was a hardcore Windows/Nintendo gamer, and nearly all of the random controllers he bought at Game Stop worked just fine on my little freetop.  They worked even when I did not cave and install Steam for him.

"Surely the Greek layout is similar." It works as you say for some keys, but not for others. Plus, all the possible combinations of diacritics do not seem to be available, as they are in macOS by default. "Because of this, I use IBus directly, and have the IBus input switcher in my panel."

Since you have to change the name in order to distribute it as free software, whatever the OP installed, if it was called "Palemoon," was probably non-free. You're right that one could install a free fork like New Moon or build it themselves and change the name/logo. signature.asc

Re: [Trisquel-users] Why MATE?

I love Trisquel 8's Mate desktop because it gives me the option of using a Gnome 2 format. When I first started using GNU/Linux in 2015, my first distro was Zorin 9 which had that format as one of it's options-I've been hooked ever since!

Here is the best type of controller adapter for gnu/linux systems including debian, trisquel and hyperbola. https://www.raphnet-tech.com/ There are a fair amount of products on this website that work out of the box without any issues. I have some experience with one of the n64 adapters.

It seems that whether MATE is lighter than Xfce depends on the window manager. According to my experience, the minimalist MATE in Debian is very lightweight. It also gives the best battery life. But if Compiz window manager is used (as in Ubuntu MATE or Fedora MATE spin), the entire
