lembas,
xkill surely closes the unresponsive task manager, but on reading its man
pages I came to know it simply closes the connection with the server;
eventhough most programs take a cue and terminate themselves, some programs
continue to work.
There is no guarentee that xkill will alway
Nope, gNewSense does not appear to work either.
So the problem only appears to affect Ubuntu based distros

Wasn't Trisquel going to be moved to being based on Debian?
In any case, I guess I can use GNewsense for now.

Nevermind.
It seems that legacy boot mode was buggy but that UEFI boot mode with secure
boot disabled was not buggy and works.
I can navigate the initial menus of the installer but when I try to go
further the system errors out into single user mode. No real filesystems are
mounted, the only thing there is the initramfs. I have an error saying that
no mountable filesystem could be found. There is no /dev/sdb file tha
More appropriate if you can barely see the Linux...
"This wasn't a mistake, it's been common knowledge."
Knowledge of a mistake doesn't mean that it didn't originate as a mistake. It
did take a long time to get corrected, yes, and many people knew of this
being an example of non-free software existing in Trisquel. It's still a
mistake though
Hey MySelf,
I made an account on your wiki. I can help with writing/editing. I don't
really know where to start. Let me know if I can help with something.
Maybe you could achieve what you want with VNC control? That is, one of you
setting up a VNC server allowing others to take control, and then all
collaborators connecting to that server.
If you need a VNC client/server package to recommend, I'd suggest TightVNC.
On Trisquel, Remmina seems t
Nvidia generally has better GNU/Linux support and many of their cards can do
3D acceleration with free drivers.
I really want an Nvidia GTX 970 based card (ASUS or MSI) in the near future
and hopefully a future update can bring free driver support like my current
GT 430.

I have to agree, I even made a forum post asking why we weren't using icedove
well over a year ago, and got exactly one response (
Sorry onpon4 but I've written my complain poorly: It's not about the chat
feature, it's about working on the same document at the same time. Let me put
an example of what I mean:

I notified them about this.
You don't need wiki software to provide a chat feature! Just use IRC or XMPP
if you want text chat, or if you want voice or video chat, Mumble or SIP
(Ekiga, Jitsi, etc).
yeah i boot 1 primary partition for windows because i need Microsoft office
and the partition for trisquel is primary.
Yeah, Trisquel should be patching Ubuntu's Thunderbird appropriately and
renaming the package to e.g. icedove, and the thunderbird package should
become a transitional package for the new package. Suddenly panicking and
removing Thunderbird entirely was a bad decision.
I note that the FSF's
I was watching videos about doku and I've to say that it is very impressive
and I've found pluguins to export to odf format.
It is a shame it doesn't have an integrated chat to speak with others and I
think you cannot see the other person typing as you do so you cannot work at
the same time
OK, but instead of removing thunderbird completely on T6, wouldn't it have
been a better idea to replace it with icedove and add a transitional package
for thunderbird?
Are there any instruction for upgrade and removing thunderbird for icedove on
trisquel 6?
Thanks you.
I note that RMS suggested to simply rename Thunderbird to Icedove, not to
remove it altogether...
mediawiki is hard for small project. I suggesd dokuwiki or wikiwiki both are
free software.
Nice to know, Thanks you :)
Do you know what "free hardware" is? Some NVIDIA PCIe cards have 3d
acceleration with Nouveau working with Trisquel.

A user reported this issue on the IRC channel several days ago, then

I meant use a wiki software like mediawiki
make it readable and editable for only the people you want.
Could you tell us about the email you mentioned? Never heard of it.
Hi David,
I would try booting to a live session and then reformatting the partition
where you planned to install Trisquel. Do you have multiple primary
partitions or drives as this can cause an issue.
@Magic Banana

Thanks. I cannot get a 3d acceleration supporting pci e graphic card that is
free hardware? Does fsf know their h node info on graphic cards is incorrect?
Yes, it helped. Thank you for clarifying that jxself, I didn't fully
understand all of that. :)
Sorry, could you elaborate more on making a wiki group? I don't know anything
about that, a link with documentation would help.
Etherpad is very good.
Thank you all.
That is the proper runlevel for a graphical boot... I don't think there can
be a problem in the script but let see anyway: can you show us the beginning
of /etc/init/lxdm.conf (the lines with "start on" and "stop on")?

I don't get this:

Try to change your vpn connection or reboot the existing one. IPVanish is
very reliable vpn connection for me.

All of these reports are incorrect, people either think that llvmpipe
provides GPU acceleration (it uses the CPU instead) or use the nonfree
firmware.
Find a way to improve h-node.org documentation to prevent such mistakes?
