Can you file a bug? It might also be a good idea to create a meta-bug for
accessibility issues like this.
VirtualBox Guest Additions which you will need to use are non-free so
don't.
Not if you're on 6.0 and you install the packages in the repos, but I
wouldn't use it anyway.
I think it's a bug in jxself repo's kernel packaging. It's the main reason I
switched to Trisquel's lts enablement kernels. I would tell you to install
the trusty kernels, but virtualbox's kernel module doesn't compile with that
either (even in ubuntu, i think). So really, you're better off
What were the questions? Maybe it removed something important.
Maybe you should try apt-get update first.
Actually, the GNU/Linux version is free software:
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/v/virtualbox-guest-source/virtualbox-guest-source_4.2.10-dfsg-0ubuntu2/copyright
It's just that Virtualbox requires a nonfree compiler to build, so it won't
be in Trisquel 7.
add-apt-repository only works for PPAs.
Incorrect, add-apt-repository works for regular repos as well. As lembas
said, this is actually a bug in Trisquel's base-files package. Since the
upgrade to that package came out around Thursday, 3 people have reported
breakage, all caused by that
I guess if you don't care about 3D acceleration, it would be fine. I don't
think AMD will release the source code for the blobs. The Nvidia incident was
because of the proprietary driver, not microcode. Is there anyone reverse
engineering the microcode?
What graphics card do you have? I was using the default GNOME desktop from
7.0 on a computer with nvidia, and I had similar problems.
I just noticed that I had the same problem. The fix is as follows: open
/etc/lsb-release. Where it says DISTRIB_CODENAME=Toutatis, change the capital
T to a lowercase one. Your lsb-release file should look like the one
attached.
I created an issue and patch to the package helper for the relevant package,
base-files. See https://trisquel.info/en/issues/11841.
Try 3.13.0-24. For some reason 27 is only available for i386. I installed the
linux-generic-lts-trusty package before, and now I have upgrades that can't
be done, so I just ignore them.
30
I plan to install Parabola when I get time (I already have it on a VM). I
don't know how often it breaks, but there are a lot of things that require
manual intervention.
The chip fully supports 802.11n. However, 802.11ac is another issue, and I
don't know of anything that doesn't require nonfree firmware (pci or usb).
You're thinking about the wrong chip, probably AR9170. This adapter uses
AR9271. As you can see on this page, AR9170 is draft-n, but AR9271 isn't.
I'm sure the people who need it would disagree. Uninstalling for people who
don't takes a few seconds. Accessibility is an important feature.
When an XFS filesystem is created, it can be case-sensitive or
case-insensitive. Yours was probably created as case-insensitive, which would
explain your issue.
There's nothing you can do about it except backup your files, create a new
case-sensitive filesystem, and restore your files.
Maybe if you do manual partitioning. If not, try partitioning from the
terminal. See http://linux.die.net/man/8/mkfs.xfs, you'll have to use
version=2.
Actually, ufw isn't a graphical tool. It's a command line frontend to
iptables. If you want a graphical tool, you probably want something like gufw
(all are available in Trisquel repos)
I wouldn't use the broken packages.trisquel.info for now.
Yes, that container uses 14.04, which corresponds to the future release of
Trisquel 7.0 Belenos. See this script. It is free software and will let you
migrate to Trisquel. However, before using it, change the variable RELEASE at
the beginning to say belenos
IceCat is a much better name :)
I hope the KDE patches get included at some point.
Jquery is whitelisted, depending on the cdn. I think we should focus more on
getting free JS tagged with the appropriate licenses, which is a better
solution than whitelisting.
The packages website is broken. The easiest way to get the source is with
apt-get source firefox. Don't use sudo. If you want download links:
Toutatis:
http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_29.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.2+6.0.1trisquel21.dsc
I had the same issue. It was supposed to have been fixed, but I guess it
hasn't.
Virtualbox has a nonfree build dependency. Also it has bad performance
compared to KVM and requires an external kernel module which doesn't build on
some kernel versions. Vagrant has a plugin to work with KVM.
Trisquel is free software, so of course you can modify it and give away
copies.
For complying with the FSDG, all you have to do is release all of your
modifications under a free license
For modifying the wallpaper, search engines, etc. you could start with a
fresh installation and make the customizations and then copy the dotfiles
onto the squashfs image on the cd.
From the live CD, open a terminal and run:
$ sudo fdisk -l
Post the output here.
He's looking for Bluetooth, not WiFi.
Why are you reinstalling? That's too much work for something simple like
this. Just create a new Abrowser profile by running:
abrowser -profilemanager
Choose to create a new profile, and it should probably work.
How about removing ~/.abrowser?
This is not just about looking native. This is about integrating Abrowser
with KDE. If you use the patched version of Abrowser, it will use KDE
open/save dialogs and the KDE file associations. You may have noticed that
files open by default with the default application configured in GNOME.
If you want Abrowser to look native and you're using Oxygen, then install the
gtk2-engines-oxygen package and configure GTK+ apps to use oxygen-gtk. You
have to use the one from the PPA until that issue is solved.
I can't click on the link in my original post for some reason. Anyway, here
it is:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/abrowser-kde-users
I tested the latest image. Graphics are horrible on the nVidia card im using,
and I get a lot of errors from the kernel.
Pale Moon doesn't seem new.
Also, the binaries on the website are nonfree.
If you use it, don't use the binaries.
http://www.palemoon.org/redist.shtml
It's well known that Abrowser and the vanilla Firefox don't integrate very
well with KDE, so I've created a here.
Of course, the PPA will only contain free software. The patched Abrowser for
Belenos will be finished building shortly.
If you have an Intel card, there's a free OpenCL driver.
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Beignet/
It's available in Belenos.
But Netflix will now seem more open because they're using a standardized
DRM, and because all of the major browsers support it.
This is why I think the newer Trisquel iso's (6.0.x) should include a newer
LTS enablement stack. It would improve hardware compatibility a lot.
It's not in the standard yet. But even if W3C rejects it, companies like
Netflix have already started to use it :(

This is going to be dangerous for free software,
Of course, those are the default formats used by LibreOffice. (I can't edit
my post)
An exception is when the free application reverse engineered the format, like
how LibreOffice supports MS Office formats. Those are definitely not free
formats.

According to wikipedia,
Mozilla Corporation (abbreviated MoCo) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Mozilla Foundation
So I guess you're right.
Even the sandbox isn't free (or even open source) software. The CDM checks
the integrity of the sandbox, so you can't modify it. Even the open source
definition says that people need to be able to experiment with and
redistribute modifications.
So despite their claims, the browser itself
Nonfree firmware is required for that chipset. You should get a USB bluetooth
adapter (ThinkPenguin sells one, last time I checked)
Nice! Also I notice the Trusty kernels are available in Toutatis.
DRM, along with the automatic downloading of proprietary software! I never
thought this would happen in Firefox.
I hope it's easy to remove it for Abrowser.
Well, if you have to use a Mac (like I do in school), just hold down the
Alt/Option key and you will be able to select your flash drive.
Most non-Mac computers also have a key to select the boot medium (boot menu
or something similar) without going into the bios setup. I don't know if that
It's just a persistent Live USB, which can be created using the Startup Disk
Creator. All you have to do is specify the ISO image and the size of the
persistence file.
I use a Trisquel live USB on the school Macs. The only problem is that the
wifi requires nonfree firmware, so I carry my USB
The OpenH264 source code is BSD licensed and free software. But I have no
idea about the license of the binaries, and we definitely don't want
pre-built binaries.
Fedora probably will remove the functionality because they don't want
software to automatically download pre-built binaries,
That reminds me, Mozilla made an announcement that they will include a
BSD-licensed H.264 codec (OpenH264) from Cisco. What concerns me is that, to
avoid patent problems, Firefox will download a binary module from Cisco's
servers. I don't like the idea of automatically downloading binaries
Or you could use a video camera :P
That way there's no way to stop you from doing it unless they come to your
house.
That command is in the package python-software-properties. You should
already have it, but if you don't, then install (if you don't have it) or
reinstall that package.
If you don't have it:
$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
If you do have it reinstall with:
$ sudo apt-get
About asking for the password, that's because it has to write to the mbr of
the usb stick, which needs root permissions.
I have a Ralink card which requires nonfree firmware and I think most do. If
you run `lspci' in a terminal we can make sure.
ThinkPenguin has adapters that are guaranteed to be freedom-friendly; just
click on the link at the right.
Yes, I use it often for chrooting.
Run the following:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/trisquel
/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/belenos
Then run debootstrap:
sudo debootstrap belenos some-dir http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/
Thanks, signed both of them :)
Did you try the netinstall?
I didn't have this problem today anyway, but I'm switching to UXA before I
get the update.
Maybe you could contact Sony and check.
The only recent ones are ath9k (pcie) and ath9k_htc (usb, the ones for which
free firmware was released by atheros last year). Atheros is the best we
have.
That looks great :)
And preventing people from using wifi adapters with nonfree firmware is a
horrible idea. It sounds similar to what proprietary software companies do.
Yes, I hope that gets fixed. I thought the Linux-libre developers were
finding a way to prevent suggesting nonfree firmware while not blocking it.
Occasionally (but for some reason it happened a lot today), my system hangs,
but it goes away after waiting a bit. In the kernel log, I see the following:
[23998.804024] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* stuck on render ring
[23998.828074] [drm:i915_set_reset_status] *ERROR* render ring
Apparently, there's a bug about this, so I hope the next updates will solve
this (or the trusty stack)
Libreboot isn't a distro; it's a free version of Coreboot. You probably meant
LibreWRT or LibreCMC.
Good to know that your problem is solved without having to use nonfree
software :)
Debian does a much better job than Ubuntu at separating free and nonfree
software (and that's why it's my distro of choice on arm, which none of the
FSF-endorsed distros support)
Ghostery is nonfree software :/
I have OsmAnd on my Replicant tablet, it's pretty good :)
Try the LTS enablement stack from saucy. Simply run:
$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends
{linux-generic,xserver-xorg,libgl1-mesa-glx}-lts-saucy
Saucy has 3.11, but if it doesn't work, jxself said he's working on the LTS
enablement stack from Trusty.
I think you can do it with USB too.
Agreed with onpon4 about WebM. You can read more about software patents and
why they are harmful here. Try to avoid proprietary/patented formats, even if
they are supported by free sofware.
It can't be named belenos, because for some strange reason, the quantal
(12.10) kernel is named belenos.
For Firefox, use Abrowser, as onpon4 said. The only differences are the
branding, an addons site that only lists free (as in freedom) addons, and
improved default settings (for privacy).
Trisquel includes LibreOffice, which was forked from OpenOffice.
For videos and audio, VLC is really
No they don't. Look at the checksums.
Do you rebuild all source packages? Do you trust Ubuntu's binary packages?
Try looking at the checksums of some binary packages that Trisquel hasn't
modified. Compare with Ubuntu.
Run apt-cache show python 3.2
Result: same checksums. The packages.trisquel.info site is messed up, I
reported an issue a while ago. (Some of trisquel's own packages don't even
show up!)
The netinstall is not command line (that is, not like the Parabola or Arch
iso's). It's a text mode installer.
According to
http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Java_and_patents#OpenJDK:_the_GPLv2_Java_from_Oracle,
OpenJDK is safe to use because of the GPLv2 license. :)
VB itself isn't nonfree. It just requires a nonfree compiler for the BIOS.
Now, if there's a way to forward-port the old BIOS that compiles with a
free compiler, it could get included in Trisquel.
Well, you have to reboot the virtual machine after that, and then it should
work.
Dragora is not very usable unless you use very little software or want to
compile everything from source (very few packages), and Dynebolic seems to be
dead. However, the last 4 are usable.
Yes, it seems to be pretty common.
Trisquel freezes on my machine, and Ubuntu did too. When it does, it freezes
almost immediately, and I can't switch to any console. However, REISUB works,
so you can use that to reboot more safely than a hard reboot.
So does mine. As I predicted, base-files was the upgraded package.
They're open sourcing the backend code, they say.
6.0.1 is just a more updated iso of 6.0 and uses the same repositories. It is
not an actual major release.
If you do sudo apt-get upgrade, you will effectively have 6.0.1.
Here's a PPA with newer GNOME releases:
https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3
Trisquel 6.0.1 is just an iso of Trisquel 6.0 with more updated packages than
the original iso. It will show up as 6.0 (maybe this is a bug, because Ubuntu
shows up as 12.04.*) But you have nothing to update.
They can't claim it as their own even if you use a permissive license,
because the copyright notices have to be retained. Of course, it's best to
make it copyleft so other sites don't make it nonfree.
Are you using postfix?
https://wiki.debian.org/Postfix
Nope, it includes 3.2.0-60-generic:
http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel-images/trisquel-mini_6.0.1_amd64.manifest. I
was hoping for it to contain the saucy lts enablement stack. It significantly
improved the graphics performance of my intel card.
