Re: [Trisquel-users] INstalling Latest Verison of Kdenlive
Thanks, I will wait then for the new T8 The old package can be installed via the add programs option in trisquel Is there a preview when T8 will be launched?
Re: [Trisquel-users] INstalling Latest Verison of Kdenlive
Newer versions of kdenlive require KDE Framework 5, which is only coming in Trisquel 8. You can try an oldish version if packages still exist or you're willing to compile them...
Re: [Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 8.0] - Unar
You're mistaking unar (command-line version of The Unarchiver) with unrar. There is no such thing as "unar-free". unar supports all versions of RAR.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could a Lutris fork be used to create a libre replacement for SteamOS?
> I recall reading about its use in training for employees in some occupation (medicine?), acting as a kind of simulator. I see two problems with this: 1. Any simulation done this way is not the same as actually doing the job. You don't actually feel anything, so how could it be? It's still far too abstract. 2. There's the programming work you still have to do, which has to be replicated for each individual job. So what is the advantage of training someone this way, wasting resources and not even training the person perfectly, when you can train them either on the job (in cases where failing to do the job isn't going to cause particular harm) or with a real, physical model (in cases where failing would be catastrophic, like surgery)? Seriously, think about it: would you trust someone to perform surgery on you if their only experience was with a VR simulation of surgery, which for all you know might have bugs and doesn't give him the same experience anyway? I wouldn't! Traditional training is still going to be necessary, so you might as well forgo the VR step. > It could also be a major frontier in 'blind testing' for hiring employees, allowing the concept to be expanded to professions where a document/image/etc. isn't enough to allow skill to be evaluated. Possible, but only if VR becomes and remains ubiquitous, because otherwise employees would be dooming themselves to having very few potential candidates. Besides, mastering a simulation of a job is never going to be the same as mastering the actual job. Even ignoring dynamic, unexpected circumstances you have to deal with if the job can't just be automated, there's still the fact that you're not manipulating real objects, you're pretending to. And then factor in the whole cost thing (how complex it is to build the simulation and have it even remotely realistic). > I doubt any similar practice will be possible in the free-software world for a long time Nonsense. It's perfectly possible; try Jitsi. I think using Jitsi through meet.jit.si even lets you chat with people who don't have Jitsi, though don't quote me on that. > (why anybody would want to use small screens and keys anyway still eludes me) Because it's more portable. You can't fit a tablet in your pocket, you need a whole case for it.
[Trisquel-users] INstalling Latest Verison of Kdenlive
Greetings, did someone installed the latest version of Kdenlive? I tried this following the site advice and didn't work with trisquel. For Ubuntu >= 15.04 and other *buntu based distros like LinuxMint you can download latest Kdenlive from our official PPA’s: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kdenlive On top of that I couldn't remove the PPA with the instructions given Note: you can easily remove our PPA and revert back to official distro package using: sudo ppa-purge ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Re: [Trisquel-users] aspell-ptl and hunspell-pt
Thanks for the reply. This will do.
Re: [Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 8.0] - Unar
unrar-free "Can't handle some archives in the RAR 3.0 format natively." Unar is very interesting alternative that should be in Trisquel. Why? Because we must create the best, libre, GNU/Linux distro ever. If we can support printers - we should add support to system (cups), if we can scan, we should give a software for that. If we can extract rar files - we should give unar to ISO Fervi
Re: [Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 8.0] - Unar
Unar is on the Parabola's repos. Of course it should be on Trisquel's too! I use it and it's very useful
Re: [Trisquel-users] What *academic* search engine do you recommend?.
I do have a list of places to use for searching, but I almost always find such specific search engines to actually be missing most of the findings I make, specially because they apparently only deal with text, not other forms of scientific resource. So, instead I suggest you to search on normal search engine and when you find something interesting, do a basic reputation/background check on who the author of such content is. If such person has at least one true academic publication (only counting text in this case) in another place (if he's writting in his own blog, or group blog, or if it's an audio/video content) or in another issue or edition of the same journal, then his article can **probably** be used as a reference. To give you an idea, most of the good publications about the importance of free/libre software movement/philosophy/actvism I have found aren't in the academic search engines I have right now, and I'm not talking about GNU.org, nor FSF.org, nor SFLW's website, nor FaiF.us, nor the FSF sister organization's websites, nor Copyleft.org, nor SFConservancy's website. Interestingly enough, some of these publications don't have proper license, so this leaves a big question mark until I get the time to contact the authors and ask which license the publication is under. If you do insist on a list of academic search engines, though, here's mine (most of then aren't search engines, but libraries. Besides, most of the academic search engines existing in the world come with an onus: requirement to run non-free software, through a way which you probably have heard about, that is, JavaScript, but the language doesn't matter, it would still be an issue with other language): http://www12.senado.gov.br/institucional/biblioteca http://framabook.org/ http://framabookin.org/ http://www.dominiopublico.gov.br/pesquisa/PesquisaObraForm.jsp http://scielo.br/ https://framabee.org/ https://www.gutenberg.org/

Atril, the mate document viewer, works very well. I think it's logical to use the default mate applications, since they offer good environment integration, same gtk version, etc. http://mate-desktop.org/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 alpha iso has been released!
Hello, This is fantastic news!! I booted up this bad boy and I like it so far. I just played around with the live session. There is no Gui Application for to install Trisquel 8 yet is there? I saw no sign of one in the live session anyway... Keep up the great work! Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
"Sadly a few users seem to have forgotten this, and have decided to stop using Trisquel because they seem to care more about how new and shiny the software is, more than the ethics on the software." Besides the optional non-free repository, stock Debian is free software and both the testing and unstable repositories are up to date without sacrificing freedom. Its just that Trisquel is based off of the LTS releases of Ubuntu and the Trisquel releases often come out a year or more after the LTS they are based on.
Re: [Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 8.0] - Unar
I heard unar-free cannot do v3 of RAR files, but unar can. Maybe newer versions of unar-free can now. I just don't use RAR files anymore.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
You now, I never got involve in the discussion because I was very happy with trisquel 7. If I needed a newer software I was just able to compile it. Security wise, Trisquel 7 life cycle has still a long way too, so no reason to worry about that either. It wasn't until a few days ago that I crush to a brick wall and I really needed those trsiquel 8 juicy updates for a specific program, and I felt relieve that 8 alpha have just came out. I finally knew what was all the buzz about. I totally agree that freedom is and should always be the most important, but freedom hasn't have to be against technology or progress. I do agree that complaining will not take us anywhere. If you really want to help free software progress and well been why not contribute in any way? Maybe financially for example. I'm not passing this month without contributing some extra money :) . It surely felt good when the software that I needed was available when I did. And for that I'm really thankful. And after all, isn't one of free software objectives help your friends? Thank you all.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Installation shortcuts in Trisquel 8 instead of pre-installed apps?
Hey I remember Crunchbang had in the openbox menu entries for, say Libo, and it could be installed from there. I thought this was rather nice. It was easily installable, but not installed yet. The Openbox menu (I gotta find a way to integrate it to i3wm, I like it this much) isn't updated on the fly if I remember correctly, it must be edited by hand. It's easier to setup, but maybe not so good for beginners.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Best Choice for a Single Board Computer (Today)
Yes, I am excited about the eoma68 product, but I can't wait that long. Aren't pretty much all SoC makers objectional? I suppose this is about minimizing freedom violations rather than eliminating them.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Best Choice for a Single Board Computer (Today)
avoid amlogic. gpl voilators. i made a pledge for https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop I would strongly recommend it for you too. you can use the computer card on its own as a SBC, using the usb otg port and micro hdmi and for extra ports maybe the breakout connector or the micro desktop. the a20 soc has free software video decode. i know it can do hd/720p i think it can do 1080p but im not sure, need to check, cant remmber clearly :) web browser video playback would need hardware video decode support. idk if that exists. can use addons that auto open youtube vids in video player like mpv. works well for me. easy too. the addon is Video Assistant. with the a20 soc using mobile versions of pages are recommend. luke -the guy behind the rhombus-tech project and eoma68 standard- is working a on 4gb ram double speed or more... computer card. so theres that to look forward too. check out the arm-netbook mailing list where these things where talked about recently.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
You are correct, and i would just add a precision, because some people are not aware of the following point (I, for one, wasn't until recently). The five years of support only apply to the packages in Ubuntu's Main repository. There is no support from Canonical for the packages in Universe, which are present in Trisquel's repository.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
Trisquel 7 is at the half of his life, in fact. Trisquel is largely a subset of the Ubuntu distribution (though with Linux-Libre instead of Linux), so updates are provided from Ubuntu repositories, which for LTS versions provide five years of support. Trisquels life is Ubuntus life minus the release delay. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is supported til April, 2019, so Trisquel 7 is too. As Trisquel 7 was released six months after Ubuntu 14.04 LTs, it gets a life of four years and a half instead of five years. As for Trisquel 8, if it was released as soon as in a pair of weeks, it would get a life of four years and five months.

[Trisquel-users] Best Choice for a Single Board Computer (Today)
Hi, There was a thread from over a year ago about single board computers which has been closed. There have been developments since then. If there is another forum more suitable for this topic, please let me know. I haven't been able to find one. I need a single-board computer with: 1. A cost of $75 or less 2. supported (or very soon will be) by linux mainline kernel. 3. 64 bit I want to get the most libre one possible that will do the things I need. Those things are: 1. Surf the web smoothly and quickly without the need for browser extensions. (Especially Facebook) 2. Stream 1080p from youtube smoothly. 3. Playback 1080i mpeg2 with good quality deinterlacing and rendering. To achieve #1, will I need 2 GB of RAM? (My current SBC, the Intel Compute Stick base model with Atom Z3735 and 1GB of RAM doesn't cut it) To achieve #2 and #3, will I need a powerful processor? (powerful in the world of ARM processors). My 1.33GHz Intel Atom quad core x86 processor struggles with #3. I like the work that linux-sunxi is doing (even though I don't like Allwinner). Regarding the A64, the Pine forum is clear that it doesn't handle video well with linux and won't do so anytime soon. But does that apply to mpeg2? Does the reverse-engineering of the VPU help in that regard? Is a GPU needed for 1080i video or is that just for video games? Another one that has caught my eye is the Odroid C2 that uses Amlogic S905. Plus there are many TV boxes (some calling themselves mini PC's) using the Amlogic S905 with Android. Once there is mainline linux kernel support, could a linux distro be put on these devices? I don't know how freedom-supporting these Amlogic S905 devices are. Does this project (http://linux-meson.com/doku.php) have anything to do with freedom? Thanks so much for your input.
[Trisquel-users] Updating to Trisquel 8.0 without reinstalling…
Trisquel updater is updated today but I cannot see 8.0. Can I update it now (without reinstalling)? I want to build GLFS distro on newer software.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
I've been using Trisquel for about a year my friend :) that's why I didn't even think about Trisquel 6.0 but you qust gave a better reason than I did that we can use Trisquel 7.0 a few more :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
Honestly I was never sure about those security updates, every time I do sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade there is something new there. :/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
I can asure you my friend that even in Parabola they care way more about freedom than updates :) I am not against using a different distribution, in general my point is "please let's give time to trisquel, is not like Trisquel 7.0 is useless", not "do not use another distribution".
Re: [Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 8.0] - Unar
no, 'unar' it can also extract 'rar' files.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
According to wikipedia Trisquel 6 is supposed to be supported until 2017. People need to chill. If there are Trisquel people who need the bleeding edge there is always Parabola GNU/Linux.
Re: [Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 8.0] - Unar
Do you know "unrar-free"?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
I am still using Trisquel 6 at one of my older PCs, and it run just fine too. Probably I will use it for some time after its EOL date. Actually I do not use Trisquel 7.0 right now :) So yeah, please do not forget about version 6 too.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
Overall I absolutely agree with what you write, especially this part: Free Software is about ethics and respect freedom of the user. Free Software is more important than convenience or shiny. But I think you miss one point: people were asking a lot by security updates. And that is most important! Because, yes, window 7 is a lot older, but they make security updates all the time! I don't mind using trisquel ( I love it) but I have to think twice if the system stop being secure at some time. But overall I agree with what you said.
[Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 8.0] - Unar
Hello. I can't report issue, but maybe somebody can report it :P Unar is FOSS software to unpack archives - ZIP, 7zip etc. but also RAR (unrar is not free software so ...). We should add them to Trisquel ISO 8.0 Fervi
Re: [Trisquel-users] "fork" trisquel
Ok, maybe after all it seems to have serious problems this idea (from a security perspective). If tomorrow lots of people are willing to help Trisquel, they all have to wait until their contributions are reviewed and merged from those that have the authority to do so. A hybrid model between the extreme of "wiki" and the current one is needed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
"Sadly a few users seem to have forgotten this, and have decided to stop using Trisquel because they seem to care more about how new and shiny the software is, more than the ethics on the software." Seriously? Parabola...
