Re: [Trisquel-users] Are there easily measurable images of the earth with Trisquel Flidas?
@ chaosmonk & @Beko Thank you for your answers. Marble seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I would like to pay you back for your help but I'm an only an old unprosperous IT student who is struggling to get out of digital illiteracy with the burden of little time and a flat learning curve. Is there anything you believe I can do for you?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Are there easily measurable images of the earth with Trisquel Flidas?
When you say image do you mean something like a .jpg .png etc? If this is the case then something like GIMP (I believe Trisquel preinstalls this) to measure using "Shift+M" would allow you to measure the image. If you are talking about measuring the distance between two areas on the globe, then I don't know an alternative to Google Maps that exists.

I do know how to use ufw, so I might be able to help if you can be more specific about what's happening. What do you mean by "connecting with too many ip addresses"? What IP address did you expect it to connect with, and which ones is is connecting with instead? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I have never tried to do this, but the first thing that come to mind which might have this feature is Marble, which is in Trisquel's repository. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[Trisquel-users] Are there easily measurable images of the earth with Trisquel Flidas?
I'm using Trisquel since about 18 months and I have used Trisquel Flidas almost exclusively during these last 7 months. One of the things I mostly miss of my old operating systems is that with them I could use Google Earth with its ruler that allowed me to measure, almost to the inch, the distance between two points of the images it showed. Is there any Trisquel Flidas compatible application that allows users to do the same? Thank you in advance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 does not boot after updating and upgrading
Sounds like the keyring package was also removed when the kernel package was uninstalled. Do: wget -O - https://jxself.org/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing Trisquel 8 Mini on tablet
At least 2 conditions must be met. One is CPU architecture. The tablet must have an x86_64 processor in order to run Trisquel 8. The other requirement is that the tablet's firmware (UEFI) must allow users to disable Secure Boot. For arm(64) platform, the situations are even worse. Almost all smart phones and tablets have boot loader locked down (something like Secure Boot). It's increasingly hard to unlock the boot loader (something like disabling Secure Boot on x86 computers), and some manufacturers don't allow unlocking boot loader at all (e.g. Apple and Huawei). Even if you had successfully unlocked the device, you'd find it unusable without lots of proprietary firmware (modem, WiFi, bluetooth, and even display all require non-free firmware to work).
