Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot X200 Tablet now available on Minifree. With Trisquel 8 preinstalled
Okay, my bad. Here's a more detailed explanation. First of all you need to
have packages installed which provide "xrandr" and "xsetwacom". These are
probably "x11-xserver-util" and "xserver-xorg-input-wacom". I already had
them installed so no problems there. A possible reason why the above script
did nothing for you might be this: if pressing the bezel button didn't
already rotate your screen, then the script would do nothing (by design).
I made the following three scripts. Use them depending on what's your
situation.
* rotate_only_stylus.sh: Use this if you only want to set the stylus to your
screen's orientation. Caveat: in the MATE-desktop pressing the bezel rotation
button will always rotate the screen (but not the stylus). So this would
happen when I add that bezel button as a keyboard shortcut to this script in
the MATE desktop: once I press the button, first MATE intercepts the signal
and rotates the screen, then it notices that it's a keyboard shortcut and
runs my script, which sets the stylus orientation the same as the screen.
Victory!
* rotate_screen.sh: Use this is you only want to rotate the display, or if
your desktop environment will automatically set the stylus orientation based
on the screen orientation. This was the right one for me when I tried the
Trisquel 7 live USB hanging around (I run Parabola from the hard drive).
* rotate_stylus_and_screen.sh: Use this if your desktop enviroment does
absolutely nothing automatically ;) I installed the very lightweight LXDE to
try, and this was the script that made both the display and the stylus rotate
correctly.
Here are the scripts:
#!/bin/bash
#
# rotate_screen.sh
#
# * The script below finds the current rotation, and and rotates the screen
# to the next orientation by 90 counterclockwise.
#
# * To rotate only the stylus (i.e. if your display is already rotated
# by your deskop environment), use "rotate_only_stylus.sh"
#
# * To rotate both the stylus and the screen (i.e. if your stulys acts weird
# after running this script), use "rotate_stylus_and_screen.sh"
#
# Find the line in "xrandr -q --verbose" output that contains current screen
orientation and "strip" out current orientation.
rotation="$(xrandr -q --verbose | grep 'connected' | egrep -o '\)
(normal|left|inverted|right) \(' | egrep -o '(normal|left|inverted|right)')"
# Using current screen orientation proceed to rotate screen.

# driver set that same rotation for the stylus.

#
# * To rotate only the screen (i.e. if the stylus acts weird after

As I understand it Icedove is no longer supported because Debian distributes Mozilla Thunderbird. Debian says the Debian Software Freedom Guidelines are met[1] and they moved users back to Thunderbird. Is Icedove receiving updates as Icedove? Was there something to Icedove other than branding? If there is an ongoing Icedove project, do Icedove maintainers care about the issue at the heart of your report? [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=816679 Also, is this an issue concerning Trisquel GNU/Linux or is this an issue concerning software freedom generally? If it's the latter, consider replying to freedom-m...@listas.trisquel.info instead this mailing list. As I understand it, trisquel-users@listas.trisquel.info is for discussions of issues to do with Trisquel GNU/Linux. Since you mention the FSF's pointer to Icedove, it's worth mentioning that Icedove might be no longer supported and shouldn't be on that FSF page. That would be worth reporting to the FSF. The FSF apparently has different and ongoing concerns regarding Mozilla Thunderbird. From https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Icedove: Why not recommend Thunderbird? As explained in our Free Software Definition[1], all four freedoms must be available on both a commercial and non-commercial basis. Mozilla's trademark policy serves to limit Freedom 2 to gratis distribution only, making the software nonfree. [1] https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html I have my own reservations about that directory entry from the FSF. The download pointer on that page is confusing. This page calls Thunderbird nonfree and then points readers to https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/latest/ to download Thunderbird (indirectly via following directions in a readme.txt file). Calling Thunderbird nonfree lumps Thunderbird in with programs one isn't permitted to inspect, modify, or share. It seems to me that if Debian can make Icedove (a Thunderbird derivative) can be free and thus worthy of mentioning by name in https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/ it ought to be more clearly separated from a program such as Microsoft Outlook which users are not permitted to inspect, modify, or share.
[Trisquel-users] adding new printer added epson repositories
Going to Control Center -> Printers -> Server -> New -> Printer -> selected my printer -> Forward will search for printer drivers and must have added a repository to my sources.list . I guess the sources is available from http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/SRPMS/ Is this a supported feature? I am wondering if these are free drivers. I tried to convert epson-inkjet-printer-nx420-1.0.0-1lsb3.2.src.rpm to deb with alien but it claims it is for architecture i386c and the package can't be built on my system.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot X200 Tablet now available on Minifree. With Trisquel 8 preinstalled
I am curious, do you think you will ever be able to put libreboot on one of those 2 in 1 laptops in the future? I am curious not because I need one, but because its a thing of interest to me. To know for the future. Recommendations, etc...
Re: [Trisquel-users] SuperTuxKart complaining about OpenGL
If you installed the game from Trisquel 8's official repository, then it is probably an older version. I simply downloaded the latest tar.xz package from SourceForge and extracted it, cd to its subdirectory and run the rungame.sh script.

Re: [Trisquel-users] libre (uncensored) DNS Providers ?
"His ISP would still be able to do surveillance, no?" How's that any different from using any other DNS provider? (Answer: It's not.) Even if the connection with the DNS servers were encrypted your ISP, fundamentally, still has to send your traffic around. So they'll still know who you're communicating with even if they don't know what you're saying. "Oh, there's an encrypted connection to this DNS server over here. I wonder what they're looking up." "Oh, right after that they accessed example.com. So it must have been that." Avoiding surveillance is a much bigger task. It can still be done by being self-hosted. But it's a different question. So the other part of the question might be to send those DNS queries (along with websites that are accessed) over TOR or something like that.
Re: [Trisquel-users] libre (uncensored) DNS Providers ?
Mabye there is a solution with DNSCrypt ? https://dnscrypt.info/ I saw an intresting french video on it yesterday and it's got MIT Licence. You are no longer in relation with your own internet company for DNS request, but a DNS C server you can choose from a list given by the software. But jxself solution sounds really intresting !

Then, later on when I start another browser session, the browser makes me confirm again that I want it to be the default, even though that's the same browser that I use when running WebHTTrack. More: "... and it opened a browser tab, and tried to open a page at: "bishop:8080" That's normal also. In response to an earlier question: I'm using Flidas with my current attempt to capture a webpage ... but it seems to work exactly like it did with Belanos, except that now it stalls and I get an error: "Connection activation failed (24) Timeout was reached" ThinkPenguin support suggests that this is a firmware problem, but I haven't tried the "fix" yet. Others are having a similar problem:https://trisquel.info/en/forum/wifi-issues-tl-wn822n-usb-adapter-it-connects-seems-shut-down-after-few-minutes-despite-update but that is probably unrelated to your present situation. You can also start WebHTTrack from the console. Don't use sudo webhttrack, which would run it as root ! Just use webhttrack, which opens the WebHTTrack GUI. I'll try it now to see if that makes my WebHTTrack problem go away ... George Langford
Re: [Trisquel-users] SuperTuxKart complaining about OpenGL
Thanks for the reply. I installed it from the repos, not sure you did the same? Is it the latest version? I don't know. The game actually crashed on me once but during the gameplay and because of a "bug" (basically I went through a wall and the game couldn't deal with that, so it crashed). But other than that I can play the game at any graphics level, the only issue is that the karts disappear after level 4 (in level 5 and up I notice that it says other player karts are animated... maybe that is the reason?). The machine might be doing it all with software, I don't know... It's a dual core 2.4, 4gbs ram DDR3. Which machine are you using? I am a total noob in this game. I used to play it a lot back when I was using windows... about 8 or 9 years ago. So I am not very good at it now. But I still enjoy it :)

A little correction: We call it Secure Boot if it allows you to manage all keys related to it[1], and Restricted Boot otherwise[1]. Although there *is* lack of documentation on how to put Trisquel in UEFI/Secure-Boot-enabled scenarios. I really think we should document how to add/append keys to the trust keyring of one's Secure Boot when installing Trisquel... or at least tell where such key can be found or how to make/create/generate and use such key.

I am also interested in another X series Tablet model. The X60t with 64-bit processor and SXGA+ screen. If there is a 3rd antenna, all the better. Though the 945 series motherboard only support 3 GiB RAM, I still want a 64-bit processor.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I make a live DVD or live USB on Windows 10
For Windows users, I would like to suggest Rufus (GPL v3+) for Live USB media preparation. It rarely fails for most operating system images. However, in order to boot GNU/Linux on latest computers (full of anti-features), you will first need to enter the UEFI settings and disable Secure Boot (we call it Restricted Boot). If there is no "Secure Boot" option in the firmware settings, curse Microsoft and the manufacturer. Note: "Secure Boot" is the final name of Microsoft's "Palladium" Trusted Computing (we call it Treacherous Computing) system. And Microsoft's Secure Boot combined with Intel's Boot Guard is the ultimate lock-in. We are all at mercy of Wintel alliance...
Re: [Trisquel-users] SuperTuxKart complaining about OpenGL
The latest SuperTuxKart does have OpenGL hardware support requirements for the GPU. For Intel integrated graphics, HD3000 (Sandy Bridge) is the minimal requirement. When I try to use any older hardware (e.g. Nehalem) to play STK, the game simply crashes. I am curious about that your GPU seems lack OpenGL 3.0 support but you are trying to use graphics level 5 and you can still start a game... I only use level 2 with advanced pipeline disabled, otherwise the gameplay would look like a slide show... Note: I am an intermediate STK player. I can easily beat all stages on highest difficulty. My favorite game mode is "Follow the Leader" with maximal number of AI karts. Only this mode can be a bit challenge for me...
[Trisquel-users] SuperTuxKart complaining about OpenGL

Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I make a live DVD or live USB on Windows 10
You may have an issue booting on a live USB/CD on a windows 10 computer due to the way it handles UEFI. When I succeeded I had to click on windows 10 icon whith CTRL key pressed (maybe another key don't remember well), then click on restart. This opened a blue parameters window wich allowed me to select a boot option designed for booting on a windows rescue CD. Then it restarted and I had a proper access to legacy boot options in the bios. Search the web or windows 10 documentation for accurate information about this process.
