David, thank you that sounds great! Just what do I have to do to add a ppa in
Trisquel. It seems to me this might be a little more complex than in Ubuntu
no?
Just Add it, update APT install Evolution, and I think you'd want to then
disable the PPA so that not everything gets updated.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
I should point out that you can get the normal kernel from Trisquel's normal
repositories through the linux-generic package (the kernel installed by
default is linux-lowlatency).
Last time I checked, Ubuntu doesn't include Evolution; they use T-Bird.
In the repos.
when i was using debian i used to use virtualbox thinking it was libre
software
but i noticed it was not in trisquels software center.
so i went on the virtualbox website and its license was gpl v2
so i am confused is virtualbox libre or not?
Starting with version 4.2 compiling the BIOS used by VirtualBox requires the
Open Watcom compiler, which is non-free. Since it cannot be compiled using
free software, it's not included in Trisquel 7. Trisquel 6 still has the old
version though. Also, this shows why merely looking at the
thanks
but if i used a version of virtualbox before 4.2
that would be free software?
Virtualbox recently started requiring a proprietary compiler to build the
BIOS recently (since version 4.2). Debian stable probably still has an older
version that didn't have this requirement.
I'm not aware of any fork continuing development of the older version of
VirtualBox that didn't
Sure, assuming you also avoid the guest additions thing.
Gnome-boxes is also in the repositories and might be worth a try. I'm finding
it much faster than Aqemu was and it might be possible to import your
existing VMs if you are patient, comfortable in command line, and have enough
hard drive space and an existing Virtualbox install.
Or install the free version of guest additions (which is packaged in Trisquel
6.0 for example, as virtualbox-guest-*)
But KVM is a better choice.
With Debian Jessie, Virtualbox was moved to contrib. Wheezy has an older
version in main.
Im following the wiki instuctions to intall KVM virtualization and i got an
error (send attached file). Any ideas?
Thaks in advance.
Thanks for your replys
i think ill stop using virtualbox
its a shame as its good software
i think ill use a program like gnome-boxes or qemu that respects freedom
more.
I use Abrowser in permanent private mode, and with the new update the new
tab page is showing insteresting sites sponsored by Mozilla partners
according to a help page. There is a linked Privacy Policy page , but I
still don't trust any of this.
Am I wrong or is this a move towards what
$ sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin
$ sudo service libvirt-bin start
$ sudo usermod -a -G libvirtd $(whoami)
I just click the grid icon in the top right corner of the New Tab page to
disable the listing entirely.
Thanks Legimet but that is that i did, as the wiki said XD.
I solve the problem restarting the machine ¬¬ what the fool i am XD
Now WTF is this??
I didn't notice this untill you mentioned it. I click on new tab and it
displays three tiles - mozilla community, firefox for android and the third
is citizenfour sponsored by a trisquel partner!!??
What trisquel partner? And why sending to anybody any kind of information
They are Mozilla partners, not Trisquel partners. Similarly, in the
preferences, you can enable sending some data to Mozilla, but it tells you
that you're sending data to Trisquel. The problem is that the package helper
replaces Mozilla with Trisquel in every source file (except for Mozilla
You could have just logged out and logged back in. I think the system doesn't
see that you're part of the group until you do that.
No, the system see that im in libvirtd group i tested it with cat /etc/group
before reboot. Is about ther kernel, some modifications on it need reboot the
system.
What happens if you disable security on the router? Does it work then? It's a
peculiar issue. Sounds like a user issue as opposed to a hardware
problem/compatibility issue/configuration issue/etc type of problem. More
info would probably help. Have you tried testing from a live cd? I'm not
There's a particular problem with these ads: at least one of them I saw was
for a proprietary program, and there might be more. The bug where Abrowser
incorrectly reports the ads as coming from Trisquel makes it even worse:
naïve users could be tricked into thinking that Trisquel is
I have since received the two adapters, the Wireless N and G. They were
promptly shipped, and - shortly after Thanksgiving - I was back to working in
Trisquel.
I ordered the N again to compare and contrast, and to see how it would react
if I did things a bit different. Plus, if it does
Hi every one:
So I was very sorry to see that “Animations Add-Ons” where gone from
compiz. One specifically that was important to me was the burn animation when
closing a window.
I want to share how I came around this problem. As suggested by
davidnotcoulthard I downgraded compiz :)
I ended up doing this:

Thank you davidnotcoulthard :)
Hopefully some day this plugins will be back, but from what I heard, they are
gone since Quantal. Since Compiz 0.9.8 according to davidnotcoulthard. And is
always a bummer, that the new versions have new issues with the cube that
other versions used not to have :S
I hope I could do
An updated version is in the oven. Fixes other details as well.
I've set in about:config the browser.newtab.url pref to about:blank.
