Can this package be fixed so that it installs? Trisquel's default setting really mess up GNOME.

I'm glad you found the proper tool for you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Recommended certificate provider
Thanks for the comments on my question. Maybe it should have gone into a different category like "general" so I do appreciate your feedback. You are right - I'm actually not as concerned about the software cert companies use as about their tracking. Are there any ethical certificate companies that don't track the sites that use their certs? So the freedoms I'm concerned about are the freedoms not to be tracked and controlled by this new "licensing" of the web. Of course ISP's and hosts track activity, so you can't get around the fact that people have to run the infrastructure to make online interactions possible and they obviously track activity. But if Let's Encrypt is backed by Torvalds, Google, Facebook and any other friends in the silicon valley, are we fools to think they aren't collecting all stats and monetizing that? What stops any certificate company from monetizing the data boom they receive from our sites? Another thing to be curious about is the script that Let's Encrypt runs on a server to constantly monitor and update the certificate... It may be free, open-source, inspectable, but it's still tracking constantly and each site is the data boom/sale. So, I am still on a search for a trust-able ethical cert company. If that even exists. Otherwise I will have to come to terms with the fact that it doesn't exist. Thank you

Re: [Trisquel-users] monitor traffic
Thanks but I'm useless when it comes to using the command line and writing code. Pointing and clicking with a graphical user interface is usually my way. How do you start vnstat ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is trisquel using OpenSMTPD ?
Comparing distro package version numbers to upstream package version numbers isn't the correct way to determine if a security vulnerability exists within distro packages like this. Assuming that a program contains a security problem they are commonly fixed by backporting only the actual security patch itself and leaving it at the same version. An example is this here: https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4611 Debian fixes it in version 6.0.3p1-5+deb10u3. And so: Someone that only compares version numbers would see "Oh noes - I have 6.0.3p1 which is less than 6.6.2p1 and so I am still vulnerable" when in fact they are not.

I have installed the package "gimp-plugin-registry" but nothing changed. The Open Raster format (*.ora) didn't appear in the file format lists.

[Trisquel-users] monitor traffic
I would like a simple traffic monitor with a display showing download + upload, daily weekly monthly figures. vnstat is installed but i don't know how to start it. Terminal command line code is a mystery to me. Is there a GUI for vnstat ? (in win 7 netmeter is used) thanks.

Is there such a thing as a "libre" certificate authority or provider?
What did you mean when you wrote that? Free in what sense?
Software freedom ("logiciel libre" in French) refers to the freedoms users have with
the software they possess. While one hopes certificate signers use exclusively free
software (they deserve to control their computers too), whatever software each signer
uses is their choice to make.
You seem more concerned with other aspects of browsing privacy and control over your
website but those issues don't have anything to do with free software and it's not
clear what specific freedoms you're referring to.
