You might want to look at the `Video & Voice' section of this page:
https://prism-break.org/en/all/

They list CSipSimple, Linphone, Ring, Jitsi, Mumble and Tox as free
software alternatives to Microsoft-owned Skype, Apple FaceTime et al.

It would be nice to hear if anyone has tried these and compared them.

Re: [Trisquel-users] So Linux-Libre Kernel 4.7 fails to boot properly

2016-07-26 Thread Adonay Felipe Nogueira
Hi, I talked with someone on #trisquel IRC channel that experienced this
problem;


It seems you're using the Linux kernel provided by jxself's repository
(since Trisquel repository doesn't provide such updated kernel yet).

I had a similar (not the same) problem with version 4.1.28. jxself told
me to look for the problem on the *Linux* kernel bug tracker at
kernel.org (since *Linux-libre* is just a set of scripts for deblobbing
and such, not a kernel).

Now I know that, to correct the failures present on 4.1.28, version
4.1.29 must be used instead, or use a version prior to .28 until .29
arrives.

I assume you installed Linux-libre from jxself's repository. You should  
contact him: https://jxself.org/contact.shtml


[Trisquel-users] So Linux-Libre Kernel 4.7 fails to boot properly

2016-07-26 Thread sstewartgallus00
I've already downgraded my kernel back to the Linux-Libre LTS but it was a  
slightly annoying way to start off my day.


The text message on the screen said some weird errors about mdadm and not  
being able to create groups.


Anyway, has anyone else had this glitch? I really don't need to upgrade now  
and can afford to wait until a patch is released so I'm not super concerned.


Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with tar archive and SO

Resolution:
The problem was indeed a malfunctioning memory module.
I have tested my memory with memtester and it gave me various errors. I  
changed memory modules I discover what was the one behaving faulty.

The problem is resolved.
Many many thanks Magic Banana.

Hugs and kisses to all;
See you...


Re: [Trisquel-users] Screen resolution changed after changing it in a program

Probably the easiest solution with games that exhibit this issue is to write  
launch scripts that contain the resolution reset command at the end.


Detecting the docking station is a lot trickier. You can check dmesg and the  
connect it and recheck dmesg to see what it saw. Other parts of the solution  
might include udev or incron watching for specific changes in /sys, /proc or  
/dev. For example your docking station might come with extra usb ports and as  
a hacky solution you could use the usb port count as an indicator.


Re: [Trisquel-users] What brand / size of flash drive would you recommend ?

2016-07-26 Thread calmstorm

would this be a good flash drive?

Corsair Flash Voyager GTX USB 3.0 128GB

for the librem lap---

But in all seriousness xD would that work for booting the eoma laptop/desktop  
hardware.


I feel quite sure it will succeed.


Re: [Trisquel-users] Libre storage device?

2016-07-26 Thread calmstorm
You would have to convince them to sell you one/ look at their nitrokey  
storage app to know if you are really right about trusting it...


that being said, I think it could be really useful... :)

2016-07-26 Thread lcerf
An excellent reply (as always). Back to the original question, "running  
Trisquel on" a flash storage is a bad idea unless Zem Mattress is talking  
about a system he will rarely use (not on a daily or even a weekly basis).


[Trisquel-users] Re : Do this wifi cards work with free software?

2016-07-26 Thread lcerf
Or you can opt for a Wifi dongle (i.e., USB-connected) with a supported  
chipset. AR9170, AR9270 or AR9271 for instance. The problem is: it is tough  
to know the chipset of a given model and, worse, a same model may be sold  
with different chipsets along its life (that is probably why, it is not even  
written on the wrapping). The safest solution is to buy from  
http://libre.thinkpenguin.com or http://tehnoetic.com (to the best of my  
knowledge, the only two vendors that guarantee that all their hardware work  
with Linux-libre, Trisquel's kernel). Or you take advice from  
https://trisquel.info/forum/14-fantastic-wifi-adaptor-tp-link-tl-wn722n a  
reasonably recent post (one can hope the chipset has not been changed since  
then). Or you can try the second-hand market (if the vendor indicates the  
chipset).

Thank you for the feedback. It sounds like it was a worthy activity and I can  
see how such a task can be quite nostalgic. Thanks again.

2016-07-26 Thread dooleyn
I believe only the 'nitrokey storage' has mass storage the otehr versions are  
for storing encryptions keys/passwords/passphrases etc. And it seems the  
storage version is not yet available. I've been keeping an eye out for when  
it becomes available myself.

Yes, I only recently discovered 33mail myself. One of the guys behind it (the  
other is his brother) is the same guy who started and still heads up the
