Re: [Trisquel-users] Java as Abrowser's extension
You can try other browsers with NPAPI support, such as those based on Pale Moon/New Moon, Seamonkey/Iceape, Waterfox, Basilisk, Epiphany (GNOME Web) or Midori.

Regardless java is insecure anyhow and thus crappy.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Java as Abrowser's extension
Java and JavaScript (its official name is actually ECMAScript) are two completely different programming languages. JavaScript took some inspiration from Java but that is all.

Then is useless to install those programs... But I think all browsers can deal with javascript...is it something different?

As matinh wrote: "Firefox has removed NPAPI plugin support, and therefore Java Plugin cannot be enabled in Firefox browser version 52 and above". Abrowser and IceCat are based on Firefox.

Icon themes are not desktop-specific, so these aren't "for" Xfce, but I find that Ghost Flat works well (see the fourth screenshot here[1]).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Java as Abrowser's extension
abrowser version 41.0.2 is available in the Trisquel mirror: https://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/pool/main/f/firefox/ Probably horribly unsafe to run old java apps inside an old, unsupported browser that hasn't had an update in over 4 years though. You should at least be running it inside a tightly controlled firejail, I would think.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Invert screen
I see. Can you by chance recommend a nice set of icons for xfce which matches zenburn?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Re : Invert screen
> I use > https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/dark-background-light-text/ This was what I used before I learned that the browser has native color settings. IIRC, the reason I switched was that the addon does not have permission to modify every page, such as pages like about:home or a newly opened tab in the split second before a page begins to load, so I was often getting annoying flashes of bright white. > the dark theme for Abrowser (which comes by default, disabled) Does the dark theme cause pages to default to something other than white before the addon kicks in? If so, that might fix the problem I was having. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is there an application that will resolve obfuscated hostnames ?
martinh suggests: "... the --resolve-all option" Alas, my trisquel flidas is using version 7.01, and Nmap didn't start using "--resolve-all" until version 7.70. Here's the script that I tried, based on https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/resolveall.html time nmap -Pn -sn --script=resolveall --script-args=newtargets, resolveall.hosts="126.64.uzpak.uz","129.mtsnet.ru", "139.188.94-binat-smaug.in-addr.arpa","14.mtsnet.ru","154-70-132.static.xpressgt.co.za", "173-232-44.static.rdns.serverhub.com","177.97.223.dynamic.adsl.gvt.net.br" > HostsAll02.txt Output: Error: segmentation fault (core dumped) Later, when I returned to my usual scan, but on some hostnames known to have duplicate IP addresses; some of which have IPv6 alternatives (-6 option in nMap): time nmap -Pn -sn -6 --script asn-query -iL Hosts03UAll.txt > HostsAll03U6.txt and time nmap -Pn -sn --script asn-query -iL Hosts03UAll.txt > HostsAll03U.txt Both scans produce alternative IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, which I hadn't noticed in any prior scans before today. That's a step in the right direction, but the explicit method that I tried in the first of the three scripts above appears to have some sort of bug. These are all real hostnames, but one shouldn't try to visit them, as their owners either don't know how to configure their servers, or do know and are hiding something. I think I need to upgrade my version of nMap, but I'm unsure about the approved trisquel method of doing so.

I can't complain. Screen tearing is present but that doesn't bother me much on this device since I don't plan to use it for video playback and image editing. It wouldn't be strong and fast enough for that. > To make USB HDD booting reliable, the BIOS needs to be updated. This is annoying but not vital.

This might be true but I can only make use of the hardware I have available.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Java as Abrowser's extension
Java is a huge vector for insecurity anyhow... Although if you need it bad enough, I suppose you could use Basilisk Browser and put it on that. I don't recommend it at all though. Java is after all one of the oldest most insecure vectors for malware. ;)

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Best' display for x200 (librebooted)
If there were freedom-respecting new hardware, I would gladly purchase them. I'd like to appreciate the performance improvement brought by new hardware platforms, but never at the cost of freedom.
Re: [Trisquel-users] IBM ThinkPad T40 GRUB menu not loading (most of the time)
I've used T40 for some years. To be honest, it's not suitable for modern GNU/Linux distributions. First, it uses ATI discrete graphics. Second, there is no usable Atheros WLAN cards (unless the white list restrictions can be removed). For the hardware, I believe that T40 doesn't support PAE. To make USB HDD booting reliable, the BIOS needs to be updated. BTW, ThinkPad X40 is much better for GNU/Linux users. It uses Intel's integrated graphics, and has usable Atheros cards. I can run latest blobless Debian 32-bit on it smoothly, as long as I don't try to browse any webpage.
[Trisquel-users] Re : IBM ThinkPad T40 GRUB menu not loading (most of the time)
I would try to reconfigure the BIOS... somehow! Something you want is the hard disk having a higher boot priority than the network (so that you do not need to unplug the Ethernet cable before booting). Reading the beginning of the section "Make the Live-System your boot priority" of https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/starting-installable-live-system may help you. Also, you may want to read https://jxself.org/linux-libre/ (which explains how to to check whether your CPU indeed supports PAE, and proposes non-PAE kernels).
[Trisquel-users] IBM ThinkPad T40 GRUB menu not loading (most of the time)
Resently I got my old IBM ThinkPad T40 laptop from about 2003 back. (Someone else had it at home but hasn't actually use it in recent years.) Firstly I replaced the finally empty CMOS battery. Afterwards I could install Trisquel 8.0 mini only by using a DVD. (The USB option unfortunately never worked.) But now I keep having issues with booting the system since it only rarely does even display the GRUB menu. Most of the time the screen goes just blank before the GRUB menu should show up. Rarely I can get to boot options when starting from the Trisquel live DVD. From there I can start the system using additional boot options adding: GRUB_DMDLINE_LINUX="forcepae". I learned that the worst thing I can do is trying to start the system with an ethernet cable connected since it would then try a network boot which doesn't work either. In such cases I am not able to tell the system to just boot from the hard disk. No matter how carefully I set the boot options in the BIOS. I tried to make the obviously working boot option the default when I finally managed to reach it again: 1) Start the system from the Trisquel installation DVD using the additional option adding: GRUB_DMDLINE_LINUX="forcepae" in the Trisquel installation menu. 2) After my successful boot into the already installed system I altered the GRUB configuration to make the forcepae option permanent: 2a) sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub 2b) add forcepae to the following lines: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet forcepae" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="forcepae" 3) sudo update-grub After a reboot the system seemed to start reliably. But already the next boot afterwards left me in the same situation: GRUB didn't show up and even several attempts to boot from the live DVD didn't result in showing me at least the installation options from the Trisquel live system. It really seems to fail most of the time just having random lucky moments when the system can actually load anything that would allow any boot. I wonder if anyone here can understand this behaviour. Could a hardware issue with a wonky contact somewhere on the mainboard explain what is happening?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Invert screen
I use https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/dark-background-light-text/ with the colors in the image below, the same dark colors in Emacs and GNOME Terminal, the dark theme for Abrowser (which comes by default, disabled), the "Monterail Full Dark" theme for Icedove, Ctrl+I to invert the colors of a document in Atril, etc.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Invert screen
It includes dpkg-dev too, to build DEB package. And there is no C++ in XRandR Invert Colors (as far as I saw). So, sebasarena only needed GCC and Make. But, sure, there is little harm in installing additional software you never run.
[Trisquel-users] Re : TBB settings vs Icecat/Abrowser proxy through TOR?
If you avoid installing extensions, both solutions are essentially the same: both try to minimize the fingerprint of the Web browser and their connections go through Tor in both cases. At least, that is my understanding.
