[Trisquel-users] Re : Add own short cut in Abrowser or Icecat?
I do not think it is doable with a GNOME shortcut because there does not seem to be an option on the command line (I looked at 'man abrowser') to do that. But I found a free software add-on that apparently does what you want: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shortcutkey2url

My internet connection seems to be unstable. My ISP only registers minor disturbances in a short interval of time. Is there a way to have my computer log the stability of the connection?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Add own short cut in Abrowser or Icecat?
This works fine, but there is an annoying issue that I hope to be (eventually!?) able to solve: Using a short cut to open our forum works well, when I don't have an open instance of the forum. My short cut opens a new tab with the forum, even there is already a tab open with the forum. E.g. if I am at the bottom of a thread, pressing my short cut will not take me to the forum page in that tab, but rather leave the thread open and open a new tab with the forum. Is there no way to come about this?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Replicant 6.0 on S2
This is really a big step forward. Thanks for all the efforts. I just posted a request similar to the following on replicant forum as well: I am uncertain of exactly what and how to do. I know it's extra work in a busy time, but I would really appreciate an easier 'manual' for getting wifi to work in R6.0 on S2 and/or S3. If there would be an easier to grasp explanation, I shall install and give feedback asap. R6.0 it self work very well, and especially the S3 is much faster than before.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Floss Latex
I will try to explain (probably with many imprecisions: sorry for the
purists) making a parallel with programming... so I hope you know the basics
of a programming activity.
TeX and LaTeX are typesetting languages. 'tex' and 'latex' are the names of
the commands to interpret the TeX or LaTeX languages. They turn the text
into a DVI file, which is then usually turned into a PDF file with 'dvipdf'
('pdflatex' directly produces a PDF file). Like a compiler turns a source
code into an executable binary.
LaTeX can be considered a superset of TeX, like C++ is a superset of C. You
certainly want to learn LaTeX and not TeX. For the same reason that you
should styles in LibreOffice: in LaTeX, you write what you want and not how
to do it (as in TeX), hence focusing on the content.
LaTeX is extensible with packages, the equivalent of a libraries in a
programming language. And there exist many fonts. And independent tools
(e.g., BiBTeX for formatting references). The so-called LaTeX distribution
group all that in a coherent whole. You want to rely on the "TeX Live"
distribution. It is the best LaTeX distribution, it is packaged in Trisquel
in many parts. In this way, you do not have to install all "TeX Live" to
only use a tiny part of it. The "texlive" meta-package depends on a
reasonable subset, i.e., triggers the installation of all the most popular
packages. But there is "texlive-full" too, if you want.
To write the text that will be interpreted with 'latex' or 'pdflatex', you
can use *any* text editor, like you can use any text editor to write in C++.
However there are sorts of IDE or LaTeX. That is what we were discussing.
Re: [Trisquel-users] My parents think if I advise someone how to use free software I might go to prision
No. That's about as absurd as if Wal-mart was held responsible for selling food to someone who later commits a terrorist attack. The only way I can think of that you could possibly be held responsible is if someone literally said to you, "I want to do X so that I can perform a terrorist attack, please help me do X". What on Earth gave them the impression that Replicant is a tool that terrorists use, anyway? It's completely useless for terrorism. It takes away features from the phone, it doesn't at all guarantee privacy, you have to get exactly the right phone model for it to work, and it's a whole lot of effort. If a terrorist is worried about phones being compromised by the government, they either just won't use phones at all or they'll constantly switch between disposable phones.
Re: [Trisquel-users] My parents think if I advise someone how to use free software I might go to prision
I would be more concerned about the circumstances under which you are meeting a stranger, particularly if you are a minor. If that's the case, perhaps you could invite one of your parents or another trusted adult to come along and hang out in the public place where you meet and help this person. If you are meeting someone about your age, hopefully you'll make a new friend and your parents can learn something about tolerance.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Does Trisquel repositories supports HTTPS?
Exactly. This is a good answer to a similar question I've read recently. HTTPS downloads in general provide two things: confidentiality of data transfer, and integrity of data transfer. For purposes of integrity, HTTPS apt repositories provide no benefit. Apt release files are already PGP signed by the distribution, so any files forged in transit would be identified and rejected regardless of HTTP or HTTPS. Without HTTPS, third parties like your ISP can observe which packages you download, however, that has generally been considered to be of little consequence.

You can find a list of IPS panels here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/TFT_display You can find out which panel you have using this guide: https://libreboot.org/docs/misc/#get_edid_panelname P.S. I currently use the panel LP150E05-A2K1. Before that I used IAQX10N panels which unfortunately became unusable due to bad pixels.
[Trisquel-users] Re : My parents think if I advise someone how to use free software I might go to prision
In the USA, the executive power still requires judges to jail someone. Well, except if the "someone" is not American and the "jail" is the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. George W. Bush established this torture camp. He apparently thinks that an independent justice is a waste of time (c'mon: it even wants be shown evidences!) and that human rights need not be respected. Obama tried (although not enough!) to close GTMO. Trump promised to "fill it up with more people" because "it's there, it's secure, it's inexpensive, because we've already, you know, paid for it", because "[closing it] turns out to be very expensive; there are hundreds of millions of dollars to do it, and I wouldn't do it" and because "Everything [Obama] does is not good": http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/gop-primaries/263809-trump-calls-for-more-prisoners-in-gitmo I guess those arguments are worth those in favor of an in independent justice, against arbitrary detention, against torture... #ornot

Regrets? Sure, but I'm able to sort them out on my own. All of us have good and bad thoughts every day. Part of being an ethical/moral person is being able to work through them and decide which are worth acting upon. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Belief in an invented god shouldn't be part of the thought process. Karma? No. There is only fake religion, not of it is 'real.' Having said that, I have actually watched a few minutes of Joel Osteen for laughs. That smarmy, money- grubbing bastard is among the worst of the worst that religion has to offer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Easy guide to secure and privacy respecting VPN
Hello everyone, Has anyone tried Bitmask VPN? You can try it from Riseup.net or Calyx. It’s free as in freedom and in free beer, which doesn’t mean it’s compromised. Riseup as an email provider doesn’t keep any data other than the data you leave on their servers (don’t leave your emails there, though everything on their servers is encrypted, get them on your harddisk through Icedove or Thunderbird.) Some people say Riseup.net or Calyx etc. are compromised because they’re in the US or in Canada, but I don’t think anywhere in Europe is any safer, except Iceland perhaps? Just to make sure there’s no misunderstanding: Never use Tor or Torbrowser for P2P. As Supertramp says, use VPN. Not even sure if P2P is safe with VPN.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Hardware: cheap Intel config?
uboot: they have a P4 socket 478, nothing like a P4 socket 775 which you mention. If they had P4 socket 775, I would add some Ram, and they would be good to go. They don’t want a notebook, although of course they could attach their 19"screen to the notebook. I’ve heard of flashrom but it’s rather vague for me. I’m interested though for my own computer which is socket 775 and in good working order. Must add a more powerful CPU (E5800’s enough for me, I should think). Trisquel, Debian [libre] run fine on an E1240 but I feel that the next Trisquel will be a bit heavier, as will Stretch probably. Kernels apparently get heavier.

My email inbox has limited memory. I would like to set my email client to download (and then delete from server) emails that are older than ... say ... 10 months. I use Sylpheed with IMAP right now; willing to change to a different email client if another client can help me manage my inbox better. If I change computers, will I need to import the emails to Sylpheed (or Thunderbird, etc) specifically or can I pick up and continue with a different email client? Once old emails are downloaded (say with Sylpheed), can I identify and view emails with a text editor or word processor? I guess that there's no advantage to being able to open emails with a text editor if I can import those email files to a new email client right? Also let's say that one day I decide to learn how to use encrypted email. Does Sylpheed support this? Is there an email client that's easier or better for encrypted email than others?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Hardware: cheap Intel config?
Many thanks for all this information, onpon4.

Reading that page and the rhombus-tech pages, I was under the impression, this board was made up of smaller modules you could simply unswitch. I was wrong, then. You buy the board, you can buy or make a little box for the board. That’s it. Or you can buy the board inside a laptop, and you keep the laptop case, keyboard and screen for ever and simply change the board, which is a good thing. When you have a desktop computer, you usually keep your keyboard, mouse, case, and ethernet card (I have one that’s not an onboard one, because the onboard one is flaky), and sometimes, you can keep some other components or cards. I assembled our computers, so I try not to throw away components and re-use them. Storage is a bit of a headache, with these boards. You need 2.5" hard drive disks which are expensive or 3.5" HDD in a case, which is also an expensive solution. I have 3.5" spare HDD but the problem is to connect them to the USB So apart from the usb ethernet adapter,is it like the https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXIno-LIME2 whose price is before VAT, unfortunately — this becomes clear if you read the information about how to order. Yet, I’m not sure about USB ethernet. The Raspberry Pi has an onboard one and I read it isn’t very good. As for the computer for my friends, I’ll wait until they’ve bought their new camera, and then see what they really need to view their pictures on a light DE, like LXDE or even JWM. Perhaps oldish components will do. Cheers,
[Trisquel-users] Re : Hardware: cheap Intel config?
Since they had a P4 previously, anything with a Core 2 Duo will be perfect and dirt cheap. I would consider a Thinkpad x200 with coreboot / libreboot (works fine plugged to my 1920x1200 monitor either via VGA or displayport through ultrabase) You can buy a x200 for dirt cheap but you will need some tools to flash it. Or a G41M-ES2L motherboard which can be flashed to Libreboot internally. Assuming they already have PSU, case etc.. that would cost around 50€ with 2x2GB and a decent E8400 Core 2 Duo. Works perfectly with Trisquel, Debian etc.. That's what I use.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless problems with free software compatible hardware

Re: [Trisquel-users] Hardware: cheap Intel config?
> Reading that page and the rhombus-tech pages, I was under the impression, this board was made up of smaller modules you could simply unswitch. I was wrong, then. It's inaccurate to think of a computer card as a "board". It's more like a cartridge. In fact, it's very similar to a PCMCIA card since PCMCIA card cases are being re-used. It's contained in protective casing and based on a strict standard. That makes it much easier for users to change and upgrade. So there are two components: the computer card (which contains the SoC), and the housing (which contains all your interfaces). Different housings can have different sets of interfaces; the micro-desktop just has VGA and USB ports so you can hook it up to peripherals and use it like a desktop computer. The laptop has a screen, keyboard, "touchpad" (actually a small capacitive touchscreen), a battery, and USB ports. Different housings might have other sets of interfaces; there's a handheld game console someone is working on, for example. But the point is, you separate the SoC from the interfaces. That way, you can use the same computer in multiple forms, and upgrading your computer is much cheaper and less wasteful. This is less noticeable for desktop computers, but it does have an effect there, too. Desktop computers' motherboards are limited in terms of what they can accept. Eventually, you have to replace the motherboard to upgrade the CPU or RAM. However, any EOMA68 computer card will work in any EOMA68 housing it can fit into, so it won't have this problem with EOMA68. You can even flip-flop between architectures in your upgrades if you want to. > So apart from the usb ethernet adapter,is it like the https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXIno-LIME2 No, not at all. What you linked to is just a single-board computer. The A20 computer card can be used like that (it's an extra feature of that particular computer card), but the primary way you use it and other EOMA68 computer cards is by plugging it into EOMA68 housings.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel compatible USB nano wireless
Wifi cards require firmware, i.e., code executed on the card's processor (not on the main processor). Every Wifi chipset needs a different firmware. Nowadays, this firmware usually is in the kernel and uploaded to the Wifi card. Like any software, this firmware ought to be free. Unfortunately, Linus Torvalds accepts proprietary firmware (blobs) in Linux. As a consequence, constructors seize the opportunity to abuse users. It even is probable that such blobs include malware. Spyware for instance. Of course, the Trisquel project rejects proprietary firmware and the kernels it distributes do not include these blobs. The related chipsets do not work. Nowadays, only a few Wifi chipsets have free firmware. AR9170, AR9270 and AR9271 are the ones you may encounter. The firmware named "ath9k_htc" supports them. It was freed thanks to Chris' advocacy (Trisquel user and ThinkPenguin's CEO). So the situation is worse than "almost-everything-except-Atheros" fails to work in freedom because not all Atheros chipsets have free firmware. To make things worse, it is hard to know the chipset a model has. Constructors do not write it on the wrapping... because they sometimes change it, i.e., a Wifi card may work when another card of the same model (but produced earlier or later) may not. So, either you acquire a card that has been recently said to work in freedom (like Diomede's) and hope that the chipset has not changed since then (the risk is little but exists) or you buy from http://libre.thinkpenguin.com or http://tehnoetic.com (the only two vendors that guarantee that their hardware works in complete freedom). The second-hand market is a possibility too. If the vendor indicates the chipset, for instance by showing the output of 'lsusb'. By tomorrow, you may find the model Diomede suggests in a physical store. You can bet on the TL-WN722N by TP-LINK too. https://trisquel.info/forum/moving-trisquel indicates it included the AR9271 chipset in December. I bought four or five cards of that model years ago (it had the same chipset). In this way, I can give/sell some to users of computers I free with Trisquel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] T60 for libreboot - replace display
Yeah, that's because I took it from the wrong computer! I'm reinstalling Triquel on my T60 now. When it's done, I'll try again. (need weekend)
Re: [Trisquel-users] T60 for libreboot - replace display
On my T60 it says LTN141P4-L02 It's a 14.1" and 1400x1050 pixels produced by Samsung Nothing special, I assume?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Add own short cut in Abrowser or Icecat?
Not in Abrowser/IceCat but in GNOME. The "Keyboard" utility, in the "System Settings", has a tab named "Shortcuts". With the "+" button you can add a custom shortcut: choose a "name" (e.g., "Visit Trisquel forum") and specify 'abrowser trisquel.info/forum' as a "command". Then, on the row that has just been created, click on "Disabled" and press the keys you want to be associated with visiting the Trisquel forum. The utility will warn you if the key combination already is in use.

Install TeX Live (texlive for a decent selection, and texlive-full for the complete distribution). You can use whatever text editor you want.

[Trisquel-users] Re : XFCE problems anew (anold!)
There is a literature of this bug if you search the site, e.g., https://trisquel.info/forum/screen-tearing-and-high-cpu#comment-99720 and https://trisquel.info/en/issues/7610 A patch is behind the second link. You apparently installed Xfce before updating the system.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless problems with free software compatible hardware
Your card should work. Indeed the very same fact you are able to "scan" for networks means the card works AFAIK. I had this behavior with a card once in Debian and the solution for me was to not write the password when the popup window requesting for it came out but instead add in in network-manager-gnome. Just right click the icon in your tray in the panel, then select "edit connections" - "wifi security", write the psswd there and retry. welcome to the community of triskello!
Re: [Trisquel-users] My parents think if I advise someone how to use free software I might go to prision
This is what angers me about the nsa and big corporations/law enforcement/government they think they should know everything that is going on at any given moment. And yet they don't want it being done back to them which is the opposite of what should happen... I wish they would all just go back to whence they came... to go back to the nothing they are seeking so desperately. no matter how much power they get, they better know they won't live forever and they are only delaying the inevitable... Disposable phones make so much more sense, or stealing phones, but our world leaders won't take the hint that this is more often the truth or that the people will literally rebel against them in the future for their evil acts. seriously though, they need to have their bubbles popped so badly, Putin and trump especially... no one will thank them or their supporters for their evil deeds. matter of fact more likely they will be remembered for being horrible human beings and evil wolf-men. and by that i mean people who are like wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Re: [Trisquel-users] T60 for libreboot - replace display
Thanks. Is it actually easier? I am not sure about what and where the inverter is. Is it physically placed in the chasis of the display or is it in the 'main chasis'?

It's not worth making your parents worry about you. I disagree with their thought process. But if they genuinely believe it and you help this guy, then they will worry.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Floss Latex
There is LyX that inkoia mentioned here that follows a WYSIWYM ("what you see
is what you mean") approach, where what shows up on the screen is an
approximation of what will show up on the page.
You can always open a text editor in one half of the screen and the document
viewer in the other half. GNOME's Document Viewer automatically reloads the
document when it is modified. With GNOME 3's window manager, just drag the
window to left/right border of the screen (and there are keyboard shortcuts
too) so that it takes half of the screen. I do not know if it is that simple
with other window manager.
Emacs can display PDF too. And it can vertically splits its window with C-x
3, so that the .tex is opened in the left buffer (with the default LaTeX mode
or AUCTeX) and the DVI in the right one. The DVI can automatically reload
the file when modified. Just add this line in ~/.emacs:
(add-hook 'doc-view-mode-hook 'auto-revert-mode)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Creating a customised Trisquel
I don't administrate an offline Trisquel, what I want is an updated Live USB that: 1) has the latest security updates installed before going online. 2) has software packages added that aren't bundled with the default ISO. I want those things so that: a) I can install on multiple machines, knowing they are running identical software, without having to download multiple times. b) I have a Live USB distro that effectively demonstrates Free Software. The offline install route seemed simpler than the ISO update method. The signature file side of apt-offline adds complexity which is only necessary when working with different base installs, which isn't the case here.
Re: [Trisquel-users] XFCE problems anew (anold!)
Well, it is just a metapackage so accepting and uninstalling it should not remove any other relevant (to the proper functionality of the OS) dependency, if none at all.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Creating a customised Trisquel
Found a wiki page for offline package installation: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-packages-without-internet-connection But whilst that page recommends dpkg, it also links to a site that specifically says don't use dpkg because it doesn't handle dependencies correctly, and that site recommends updating sources.list to point at a local directory of deb files, basically... LocalRepoDir=/var/local-deb-repo/ printf "deb file:$LocalRepoDir ./\n$(
Re: [Trisquel-users] Floss Latex
I think I heard somewhere that there exists a LaTeX software that lets you see the actual output of your file in a window next to the editor window. Is that correct and is it any advantage?

On closer look, you can do that automatically by just passing the --register-app command-line option to TBB. I don't remember whether or not I did this.

Re: [Trisquel-users] T60 for libreboot - replace display
Thanks. I was just lucky to find one on a site for buying and selling used stuff. I was double lucky as I was permitted to borrow the display to check its compatibility. What I did was to open the chassis and check the maker and product number and compare to the ones listed by libreboot.
[Trisquel-users] T60 for libreboot - replace display
I got hold on a T60 for installing Libreboot. It has a non-compatible display but I have retrieved a compatible one. Would it make the most sense to replace only the panel or the whole display, including the frame/chassis (or what it is called)?
Re: [Trisquel-users] My parents think if I advise someone how to use free software I might go to prision
true religion is freeing, but to answer your bigger question, that wasn't a construct that is my views whether you wish to believe what I say or not, that is up to you. Truthfully though it was an incomplete explanation. sadly though, only a small remnant of religious people seem to understand what religion was meant for, freeing oneself from the curse of darkness. you cannot tell me you never have bad thoughts that you don't wish you never acted on. that is part of the curse of darkness. ie, sin. as for free software, it was invented probably to fight what you call religion which is in actuality a falsehood of religion real religion requires people loving each other in spite of their faults not condemning them and oppressing them. now do I think this is rare? if you had asked that I would have to say, very much so. Free software in my opinion has similar ethics to what i quote call "real religion" I agree that free software is about ethics but I disagree that religion isn't about ethics. I think some humans just choose to sometimes abuse everything they touch that may be why you think religion is evil. love does not force is a huge theme of real religion... I don't believe in your false idea of what religion is. I don't wish to rake you over the coals so I will just say, to each to his own and enjoy your life. and live an abundant life of happiness. and yes I do make mistakes sometimes, but I try and that is what is important. I am sure you people are good in your own way. do understand though we all have our own opinions.
