Re: [Trisquel-users] Complete replacement of virtualbox
The video resolution can be changed for xorg.conf in the vm but your video driver has to be set to vga or qxl (I am not sure) the default is cirrus which only supports 1024x768 Virt-manager's vnc viewer can't share clipboard so if you use remmina instead you'll be able to share clipboard. For shared folder add a new hardware filesystem passthrough and you will have to change the ownership of the shared folder to user libvirt-qemu or group kvm on the vm you will have to run mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L hostshare /mnt/ hostshare is the targetpath (not a existing path just use a name) For using spice you will have to use the tool virsh and edit the VM's configuration and change emulator/usr/bin/kvm/emulator to emulator/usr/bin/kvm-spice/emulator
[Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
On h node if you select amd ati, pci e, and works with 3d acceleration, you get radeon hd 4870, 6450, 7450, 8450, radeon r5 230. Cards with these chipsets come in different brands and versions. Fx various memory sizes. You get a free hardware amd ati graphic card with 3d acc no matter what brand and version you choose, as long as the card has one of the listed chipsets?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Free hardware and open source and hp printers?
Hi Tonlee, I am having a HP Deskjet D1500 series printer. It works like charm with Trisquel GNU/Linux 6.0.1 LTS version. So I understand, atleast from software point of view, the HP Printers of D1500 series are completely compatible with free software. But the same may not be true for some latest models of HP.(You need to check it with your local HP vendor) Now coming to Hardware, it cannot be affirmated a Hardware which supports a free distribution to be 100% free; Reverse engineering the Technical schematics/Hardware Description code of the product(Here your Printer) with the permission of the company, alone can prove it indeed free. It can also be a possibility that a hardware that can work for a free distribution can also have non-free firmware blobs. So it would be wise to avoid using such a suspected device for communicating sensitive/private data.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
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? pgpSRjtXMo3K5.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
I don't get this: There was an FSF blog post from either earlier this year or last year making a list of software the FSF was using, and Thunderbird was in the list. It has been absolutely common knowledge that Thunderbird was in Trisquel. People talked about and recommended Thunderbird all the time. Look at this, an issue about this from 2 years ago: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/6456 And you're honestly saying that Thunderbird was in Trisquel by mistake for all that time, and the mistake was only realized when RMS sent an email about it? What's the trigger here? I don't get it. Did RMS really need to personally announce that this is a problem before it was taken seriously?
Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
Everything works great. The only issue I have is the missing import function in vCalendar, so I have to rewrite all entries from Lightning.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Help! GUI doesn't install????
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)? Enabling Trusty's graphical stack is not hard nor dangerous (easy to revert if something becomes wrong but it should not: it is the graphical stack of a long-time-support version of Ubuntu after all!). However, it does not look like your graphical stack is the problem since 'sudo start lxdm' brings you the graphical login screen. It only looks like the 'init' does not automatically start LXDM for some reason. Unless someone else has a solution, the fix I propose is to write 'start lxdm' in /etc/rc.local (before the 'exit' line).
Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents
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.

Yes, it helped. Thank you for clarifying that jxself, I didn't fully understand all of that. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
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?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Help! GUI doesn't install????
@Magic Banana This is what is in the beginning of /etc/init/lxdm.conf: start on ((filesystem and runlevel[!06] and started dbus and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or stoppped udev-fallback-graphics)) or runlevel PREVLEVEL=S) stop on runlevel [016] Is the syntax as simple as the two words, when adding to /etc/rc.local, start lxdm?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Installation Problems
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.
Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
Could you tell us about the email you mentioned? Never heard of it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents
I meant use a wiki software like mediawiki make it readable and editable for only the people you want.
Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
A user reported this issue on the IRC channel several days ago, then mailed it to RMS (who reminded us of it at least on https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2014-10/msg7.html). Known obvious freedom issues open for 1.5+ years after the developer decided that they need to be fixed probably occur in all distros. FSF sites do contain mistakes like recommendations of nonfree software (or hardware that requires nonfree software). Both can be quickly corrected if people report the problem and propose a solution. The Trisquel issue does not link to a patch that would e.g. add Icedove with the free addon list. pgpCl62uAltrH.pgp Description: PGP signature

[Trisquel-users] Re : IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
I note that RMS suggested to simply rename Thunderbird to Icedove, not to remove it altogether...
Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
Are there any instruction for upgrade and removing thunderbird for icedove on trisquel 6? Thanks you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
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?
Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents
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 on the same document like etherpad. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Either way, I'm sad I hadn't discovered free software before because these ways of working are awesome and the base for a good education.
Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
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 Email Self-Defense page only provides instructions for Thunderbird, and in general Thunderbird is a lot easier to set up than most email clients. Not having Thunderbird or a variant is problematic for new users.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Installation Problems
yeah i boot 1 primary partition for windows because i need Microsoft office and the partition for trisquel is primary.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents
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).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
Does fsf know their h node info on graphic cards is incorrect? I notified them about this.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents
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 remember working on a tutorial for the Trisquel wiki: I was correcting some mistakes I've made but a very kind member of the comunity modified some of the contents at the same time without me noticing it. When I tried to save my changes some message appeared telling me that I cannot save. That is not the collaboration I want for the project I'm currently working on, I want to be able to work on the same document with my friend at the same time as him.
Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
And you're honestly saying that Thunderbird was in Trisquel by mistake for all that time, and the mistake was only realized when RMS sent an email about it? 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 (I don't know). This wasn't a mistake, it's been common knowledge.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
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.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents
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 to be a good choice.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Enhancement Project reaches version 0.1 alpha milestone
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.
Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
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 because non-free software doesn't belong in Trisquel. Whether you want to call the inclusion a mistake or an error or whatever the outcome is still the same.

Nevermind. It seems that legacy boot mode was buggy but that UEFI boot mode with secure boot disabled was not buggy and works.

So the problem only appears to affect Ubuntu based distros https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1241589/comments/61 Wasn't Trisquel going to be moved to being based on Debian? In any case, I guess I can use GNewsense for now.
