Re: [Trisquel-users] What's wrong with OpenMailBox?

hi Tonlee,
Seems you got to pay 4-5 euro /month if you want access to your e-mail by  
using Thunderbird. 


Re: [Trisquel-users] What service do you recommend to replace OpenMailBox

I can't access my openmailbox-account by using Thunderbird. You have to pay

Re: [Trisquel-users] Unfortunatly I need to try to get flash player installed on triquel for an algebra course.

2014-07-10 Thread chris . arijs

I found this on one of my PC running Gnu/linux Mint:

firefox add-on VIDEO WITHOUT FLASH 1.4.2

Why you may want to use this extension

You experienced some lag or bad CPU performance using flash
You only use flash to watch videos, and do not want to install a non-free  
packages on your linux station (this extension is released under the GPL)


[Trisquel-users] Java/openjdk

2014-03-18 Thread chris . arijs

Hi all,
It seems to me that it is impossible to delete java in Trisquel ( or Linux  
Mint). Everytime i try to remove eg openjdk i get a message that some  
packegets will be removed and others installed. So when i remove openjdk 7,  
it will install openjdk 6.
In W-ndo-s i could completely remove JAVA. How to do that in Trisquel ? I did  
not NEED JaVa in W-nd-ws, and so i don't need it in Trisquel.


Thanks in advance

[Trisquel-users] R Stallman and Trisquel (google)

2014-03-17 Thread chris . arijs
I know the topic is closed, but i want to come back at this issue. r Stallman  
calls Ubuntu ( after Ubuntu 12.04 ) spyware (  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP8CNp-vksc) but what about Trisquel. Every  
website i visit is by default send to the DNS-servers of Google. I think  
Google is more sort of spyware than Canonical.


I find this greatly disturbing. A Free OS , an advocate of Free Software,  
that let its users search the internet through Google. I dont understand  
this.


BTW, i tried the suggestions in the other topic to replace the DNS-server,  
but i dont seem to understand how to do this.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Buying a Trisquel laptop in France

2013-12-28 Thread chris . arijs
I think this is a great laptop BUT, the screen is just to small for me. Are  
there any alternatives, because i have the same problem as BMw: i live in  
europe, so i don't know what funny taxes i'll have to pay if i buy from  
ThinkPenguin.


It would also be nice if someone could make a list of parts for the perfect  
free desktop. So the kind of motherboard, HD, RAM, Graphic card, ethernetcard  
etc that i would have to buy to compile my own working on Free Software  
desktop. I know that Atheros Wifi cards are great but what about the other  
stuff ?


[Trisquel-users] malware

2013-12-15 Thread chris . arijs

Hi all,
Is there any possibility to check of the trisquel-os on a desktop is infected  
with a virus, or malware, or other stuff.
On Win-d ows there are plenty of Antivirus programs and mostly you can see  
that the system is infected.

Are there indications for infections of Gnu/linux trisquel ?

PS this is just a hypothetical question; My trisqueldistribution is not  
infected ( i think ! )


[Trisquel-users] Free Hardware

2013-12-03 Thread chris . arijs
Please correct me if i'm wrong. I find the prices of ThinkPenguin very high.  
The emperor notebook starts with 2GB ram, which is low these days. They  
charge 55 dollar if you want 2GB more. I think that's very expensive.


They have no AZERTY-keyboard. Is there a European alternative for  
ThinkPenguin ?


Just correct me, i don't want to insult anybody.


[Trisquel-users] Enigmail

2013-11-03 Thread chris . arijs
After some time hesitating i have installed enigmail in Thunderbird. As i'm  
just a beginner i added my public key (PK) to a keyserver. I was now  
wondering about the fact that if a 3th party intercepts a mail from me to a  
friend, is that 3th party able to read the mail considering they can get my  
public key from the keyserver. Because that's the way i got the PK of my  
friends e-mailadress. I did not yet figure out how to send an (encrypted)  
mail to someone with my PK added to it as attachment.


Some thoughts ?

[Trisquel-users] NVIDIA ( again yes ! )

2013-07-08 Thread chris . arijs
I am new to GNU/Linux. Been using Ubuntu ( until they put amazon-spyware in  
it ) Then went to Linux Mint and whike surfing and reading about GNU en Linux  
i found Trisquel. I very much like the idea of the FSF and watched some  
youtubevids where R Stallman is explaining his thoughts. He's absolutly  
right.


But, my computer is working as hell because Trisquel has , i think, no driver  
for my NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT. I have been reading and searching yesterday  
almost the whole day ( it were the posting of Cyberhawk that lead me to de  
vids of R. Stallman ( THX !! ) but have not found a solution.


As i 'm at this point a rather noob on GNU/Linux, all help would be  
appreciated.
I read something about nouveau but could not figure out if/where it is, how  
to get it etc.


O and i have Trisquel 6.0 installed.
