The problem is not that they have done it already, the problem is that they
COULD do it if they wanted.
I don't like sleeping with that uncertainty.
If you know what I mean.
As for the basis of why I think this way:
I have a similar issue.
I have linus 3.13 and 3.4 installed. Everytime there is an update on 3.13, it
messes my grub confguration.
Since I don't use it, I want to remove it all. Just keep the 3.4.
I have tried following these instructions
As a side note (and maybe even off-topic), last time I checked,
GNU+Linux-libre GuixSD had ARMHF builds for some packages, except for
GNU Linux-libre[1].

To make my point clearer: I understand it's good to keep an older kernel, and
it's ok to delete the even older ones by command line, if there's one single
command that really does all the work. But why has dist-upgrade deleted
kernel 66 (and probably others), but not 65 and 63 as well?
Lucky you! I just found some free software for your work:

(SHP file format).

I am not the one who downvote your post (who has been messing with the votes
in this thread anyway??), but I don't think your reply was fair to me.
Did I suggest that they should treat everything as equal? Not really.
That is not to say that caution should be taken. I think (and you can read it
I was able to get it to work!!
basically I had to add a new account (a fake one, so it wouldn't interfere
with the other ones of same name) and point the local folder to the place
where I had my older inbox copy.
Thanks!
Lol, didn't even think of that but... yeah, damn right you are!
It's like saying we have something that respects your freedom, but it's not
perfect, until something better comes along we will say it does then we
discard it. I know they are not being "rude" to these projects, but it's
kinda the message I see in there.
It is not. The message is "do the
>it is better to show the world a computer that is at least going in the
direction we want to go in -- and encourage future work and development in
that direction -- rather than show nothing at all and wait and hope for the
perfect computer to somehow (maybe, possibly) arrive on its own.
Indeed, you're right to consider it to be paradoxical, and this is one
of the reasons that this justification is not really an end goal, that
is: This is why the Respects Your Freedom certification will probably
change when the time comes where there's a possibility to run free, and

This is why I hate things that try to keep my personal data inside
databases. Although if they're really needed, I don't evade them, but
just try to adapt my workflow so as to keep plain text backups of it.
As for the case of your e-mails, I have noticed such possible problem
when I happened to

No, it's not. The message is: "This product respects your freedom".
And I think GNUser is rightfully criticizing it.
If there is such a need for an award (for advertisement etc.) why not call it
the "FSF Best choice" award or something like
I think the only free routers must be FPGA router.
Two FPGA chips one for main OS some RTOS and second fpga for custom
encryption accelerator that user can use different encryption ! PHY chips
must be implemented in main FPGA.
If anyone know some project like this let me know.
Well, I don't see that as acceptable. Or to rephrase that: I don't think it's
acceptable enough.
I don't fully understand the need to award a "RYF", is it such a priority, to
stamp a logo "RYF" in a product? On the other hand I consider unfair to
remove it afterwards. The X200 is now a good
So basically if a manufacturer locks down the bios (make it 'read only'), the
freedom issue would be solved?
Quite paradoxical.
Oh, I see. You installed it yourself. I thought you were using a pre-built
image. There are so many available I wish I could get one to work in freedom.
Actually, bananian (www.bananian.org) is the closest thing, Nico actually was
kind enough to let me know which non-free packages need to be

This shouldn't happen. Care to elaborate?
Thanks for the clarification. Sorry for being rude.

Linus is Linus Torvalds.
I am not sure, but headers are optional I think.
If something goes wrong, and you can not to boot, you can install/reinstall
any synaptic's package from booted LiveUSB/CD mounting temporary folder.
You can delete everything of kernels that you don't using. You can keep the
previous version if you feel more security. Sometimes when upgrading,
autoremove command removes old/useless packages, but somethimes it doesn't
autoremove previos kernel version. I must to remove the previous one
Unless, of course, you manage to extract the software from the read-only
memory and engage on the development of a free replacement, despite
knowing that you cannot test it without losing an entire electronic
board. :D
For whatever reasons the version of Ruby that one can get in the Trisquel
repos is old. Too old to be useful. I try to install Jekyll and get this -

particular proprietary programs on their

I guess, but in the same way, it's "hard" to install anything on Windows.
Somehow, despite this, Windows users install a lot of software on their
computers.
Thanks for checking out. I'll gather as much data as I can about these. I
quickly did earlier about mountall, and this one seems off the hook.
On a side note my first try with fstab was strange : before startx, during
the boot, a message indicated that it tried to mount my USB drive, like it
1. In Trisquel it is hard to install anything non-free.
2. Debian (etc.) can also be free but allows to install non-free

I think you're conflating different issues here. I shall try to explain.
The word "allows" is probably the wrong word to use. Any free
The software is different, but it is still proprietary. So the answer to your

that is different from support for wifi. Sorry for the dumb question.
(Also, I tried posting this on the replicant forum like a week ago,
"So the shutdown blinkies remain as elusive as ever."
I don't know why you say that: From what you've describe this all seems very
standard to me. If you recall one of the things that happens during shutdown
is all running processes are sent SIGTERM (To quote from the GNU C Library
manual:
"my video camera won't stay focused on the screen."
Try turning off automatic focus. Focus it manually first, and then do a shut

Hello folks,
Several months ago I activated Unity 2d in my Trisquel 6 system. I followed
the instructions given here

Now I want to go back to "regular" Unity with all the 3d stuff. But I

As an addendum: Software that runs on read-only memory is ACCEPTABLE,
but not free software. It's acceptable because there's no way to
exercise the results of freedom 1 (to study and to adapt the software as
you wish) when using freedom 0 (to run the software and the adaptations).
In other words,
The whole point of Trisquel is to make it trivially easy for everybody to use
their computer in complete freedom. If you need non-free software for
whatever reason you should choose one of the 1000 distros of GNU that ship
non-free software in their repositories. Trisquel does not "decide
