Re: [Trisquel-users] Changing color of foreground text in Abrowser 54.0 pop-up windows.

I happen to have the same problem as mps, and at least with me the problem is restricted to abrowser. This happened after one of the recent upgrades (maybe a month ago?). I didn't complain before because I know where to click (left button to cancel), but it does bother me as well...

Trisquel 6 and 7 are bad but trisquel 8 might be worth something, not sure.

Re: [Trisquel-users] I noticed that trisquel beta is out.

Well from what I know, systemd is too complex compared to runit and sysvinit. If you wish to know more about systemd's vulnerabilties, ask Luke the eoma68 dev. He knows far more than I. he did however at one point mention two huge security flaws that went unfixed for long periods of time,

I either respectfully disagree with Supertramp83 or agree with him conditionally. I love Trisquel 6 as well, and yes, I do still use it. I just make sure to either unplug my modem before I boot into it or double check to make sure that there are no wireless USB adaptors or ethernet cables

Thanks for your response. Both './configure' and './configure.ac' (the latter is what I see in the extracted folder) give "command not found."

>What are you thoughts about this ? My thought are: you shouldn't use a distro that doesn't provide timely security updates (both 6 and 7 are bad in this regard) IF security and privacy of your system and the data on such system is your priority. You say 6 runs better? How better? Faster?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Changing color of foreground text in Abrowser 54.0 pop-up windows.

Is this so only in Abrowser? Are you using a custom gtk theme? I'm asking because a year ago or so I had a brief fixation with building my perfect gtk theme and this is one of the things that occur when you fuck up.. Only, you should see this in several applications, not only Abrowser.

[Trisquel-users] Evolution RSS Reader Plugin

This is not necessarily a Trisquel-specific topic, but seems relevant given that Evolution is one of Trisquel's default programs. After installing evolution-rss from the repository, the RSS plugin appears in Evolution but clicking on it does not enable it as with other plugins. When I run

Re: [Trisquel-users] I noticed that trisquel beta is out.

I don't understand how systemd restricts freedom. There is hardly a piece of software you can use without dependencies. How is that bad? Systemd is not an init is a set of tools. So most desktop environments are using those tools. Avoiding doing the same work twice or more times. Also, by

What security issues? Perhaps it can be fixed. Also, systemd is free/libre software, so at least it has all the essential freedoms of practical/functional data/work in question (the software, that is, systemd). -- - [[https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno]] - Palestrante e consultor sobre

Re: [Trisquel-users] I noticed that trisquel beta is out.

What about the security issues of systemd/stability issues? also, gnome is crap and so is kde. We shouldn't make everything require systemd because of the security issues it has + that is a way to restrict freedom. I really don't trust systemd... that's about it.
