[Trisquel-users] mate-settings-daemon overwrites SSH_AUTH_SOCK

2019-11-20 Thread keno
I'm trying to use gpg-agent for SSH by setting the environment variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK in ~/.pam_environment. But it gets overwritten by two autostart processes that I need to disable for it to work. The first one is gnome keyring's SSH-agent. That one makes sense to disable and I understand

I didn't change to an SSD or anything. Just installed Trisquel on exactly the same hardware that Debian used to be on.

You need to change matplotlib's font to one that includes the desired characters. For example like this: import matplotlib import matplotlib.pyplot as plt matplotlib.rc("font", family="DejaVu Sans") plt.text(0.5,0.5,'Привет!') plt.show()

I've had Debian installed on my Laptop before and after entering my LUKS password, it took an estimated 10-20 seconds or so to reach lightdm. With Trisquel, it's a matter of one or two seconds! That's absolutely nuts and I don't understand why that would be the case. Were any special steps

You guessed correct as to what x and y need to be. In order to produce a plot, there's a missing call to plt.plot() at the end. A short working example is -- import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.text(0.5, 0.5, "Привет!") plt.show() -- The problem actually isn't missing fonts.

Let's try if this works in the command line so we can perhaps narrow down the cause of the problem by either seeing that everything works nicely there or getting some helpful error messages. 1. Unplug your device and plug it back in. If your desktop environment makes attempts to mount it

I've taken at a look at their page. They install to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jami.list So what you need to do is edit this file (with root permission) to change any occurance ubuntu_19.10 to ubuntu_16.04. Then run `sudo apt update` and `sudo apt install jami` Haven't tried it myself so

Disclaimer: I'm not a Trisquel dev but have looked into it somewhat and am planning to contribute soon. First of all, stripping away the proprietary stuff isn't as easy as it may seem. One could, for example, think that Trisquel could just be based on Debian without offering Debian's

Trisquel Etonia is based on Ubuntu 18.04, which is from 2018. This means the software packaged in it is about two to three years old, so it's to be expected that you don't get the newest versions of software.

I don’t recommend running dist-upgrade! That may also remove packages unexpectedly. Instead run sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade

Nah, while that’s how unofficial repos usually do the naming (which makes sense, because the official repos do it the same way), Jami does it differently.

The image will not appear under the available images. It’s just set as your profile pic once your done. Note that there is a reall small size limit. Also, you may need to clear your browser’s cash by running CTRL+SHIFT+R when on this forum to see your new pic.

Ahh now that you mention pulseaudio I thought I remembered something from the last dev meeting. Just checked and I remembered correctly: pulseaudio was temporarily broken. Now, the package has been fixed, an apt update made this fix available for you :)

As I said, this can not just install software, but also remove some. It should be handled with care is all I’m saying. Do you actually need it to upgrade your kernel version, though? I wouldn’t know why that would be the case.

I mean, YouTube is still owned by Google, so patching it to search with duckduckgo won’t really make a difference. I don’t know why I even put a focus on Google being used for the search. It should be pretty clear that using YouTube directly over your ISP’s connection doesn’t exactly make

Took some time to look at the code. It uses Google to search for the songs on the web, so for privacy, you should use at least a VPN. Either way, Nuclear is a lot better than Spotify since it's free software (and DRM free, but otherwise it couldn't be free software).
