"but sometimes the software isn't up to date."
if you ever get software from outside sources
you would need to check the license of the software to ensure its libre
also its a good idea to compile the program yourself
as this is much more secure and will ensure you have the absolute latest
https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en#warning
tor relies on all the browsers giving identical information
if you use a different browser then it could give identifiable info about
what browser your using and so narrowing the search down to a few icecat
users
correct me
i think definitely with the correct resources it is possible to make a 100%
secure system running fully free software
you would just need to maby make it quite simple and hire a lot of people to
debug it
Libreboot dose not use seaBIOS but can be used with seaBIOS
i found this tutorial but its apparently outdated
https://github.com/bibanon/Coreboot-ThinkPads/wiki/Compiling-Libreboot-with-SeaBIOS
but i know for a fact as Libreboot is based on Coreboot you would be able to
use seaBIOS with it so
that would depend on whether your for example a investigate journalist going
into a area a government or corporation dose not want you to go into or not
some people have a good reason to fear the "security" agency’s
"Maybe google would have pointed to something on your forum, but I only use
it as a last resort. "
if you use tor to anonymise your internet use then
it dose not rely matter what search engine you use
as long as you dont do somthing like search for shops near you or search your
name while in
"No sound"
there is sound but i personally could not get it working
i think if you can get the sound working the game would be decent to play
you click on it and it plays a audio file of rms singing the free software
song

"(a libre steamos anyone?)"
it would be great to have a fully free steamos like distro
Its runs Blender perfectly but AwesomeBump did fail to run:
you can get the source code here:

UEFI is a specification
which has been implemented on some machines to do some bad things like
preventing booting other operating systems:
(thats what i got from wikipedia anyway)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface
currently those are the only Desktop motherboard Libreboot supports
"There are a lot of parameters. Price, performance, free software, libreboot,
coreboot, eufi, intel, amd."
Price:
the Desktop motherboards i listed are quite expensive
(cost me about £100 second hand including postage from
yes i compiled it from source
its very easy just do
./configure
make
and install anything it tell you to if its missing
to confirm you can get the source code and if you want a exact copy of the
members card i can give it to you
dose anything show up in gnome disks?
"Nobody would cut the branch he's currently sitting on, right?"
Libreboot is free software so the worse Francis can do is not try to make the
flashing process easier there is nothing at all stopping someone else adding
a feature to make Libreboot easier to flash
also currently the main
it dose!
the best place to ask would be the #libreboot irc channel on freenode
also i found this from the libreboot website:
There seems to be a 30 second bootblock delay (observed by tpearson); the
system otherwise boots and works as expected. See text/kfsn4-dre/bootlog.txt
- this uses the 'simple'
did you try changing the graphics settings to get better performance?
also you could sell your current laptop and buy another with a GPU that works
well with trisquel the thinkpad X60 runs mupen64plus very well and it also
runs DeSmuME
"Too bad you can't get wifi man :( that really sucks."
its not too bad i don’t think you can replace the internet wifi card on
this think pad as you cant install libreboot on it yet
but you can use a external usb adapter
i reccomend using M64PY as it gives you a GUI
then it will be easy to configure to graphics settings to try and improve
performance by selecting
setting -> plugins -> video -> configure
have you asked on #libreboot?
good luck!
"and nothing beats the real thing"
what about higher resolution texture packs for the legend of zelda!?
if Depin DE is free software looks awesome
what DE is it based on?
here is a video showing how:

"I thought, maybe the ram is the bottleneck, because it's only 1g."
its very likely that is the case i recommend at least 2GB of RAM
should the tor browser bundle be included by default in trisquel then?
how hard would it be to abrowser/icecat use tor by default?
i can host for you but my port 80 and 443 are already taken up so you would
have to use a non standard port
how would that be enforced i mean anyone heard of the screenshot program???
"obviously they're hypocrites and I don't want to have to do anything with
them."
what do you base this on?
"Almost any other web browser configuration is likely to be unsafe to use
with Tor"
what if you use wget with tor?
"record via the webcam in webm format?"
if you record it in just about any format you can always convert it to webm
but yes you should be able to record in webm
you could try the screen recording software Simplescreenrecorder(very good)
"Will any webcam work?"
no it has to work with free

"can I make video games that have that retro feel to them?"
of course!
Sorry if you already said this but is it flash-able through a software method
like the x60 or must you use a hardware method?
"120mb/s read or write?"
read (forgot how much write)
you can do it but its non-free software
from the community guidelines:
"Please do not distribute, recommend, or support non-free software here"
well its a libre system if it is made up of only libre software as Debian
main is
but i agree it would be better if Debian did not imply that the non-free
software is needed (this is the impression i got when i first tried Debian
without knowing what free software was)
if you want a desktop your best bet freedom(and performance) wise is a ASUS
KGPE-D16 (max of 256GB RAM!) or a ASUS KFSN4-DRE (max of 64GB of RAM)
as you can run them with a free BIOS using libreboot
what are you wanting this pc for?
as the CPU, amount of RAM etc will depend on what you need
"So, IDE is obsolete."
i have a laptop from 2001 with a IDE SSD and i notice a speed increase it ran
at about 120MB/S compared to 30MB/S with the hard drive
what iso are you using?
i have seen a video of someone running ubuntu on it (hardware not VM) so it
should allow you to boot to trisquel
try booting to trisquel from a live USB to test if it works ok
how?
"I'm doing
an online course which requires Vagrant and VirtualBox"
Which online course is this?
I have something to confess
months ago when i was a member of this forum i used Debian main
i hope you can forgive me in time.
"I'd be happy if the forum were just mailing lists."
it would most likely immediate a lot of new users if that happened
"But a few days ago it slowwwedwy down"
this could be caused by things like a failing HDD so if you have a spare HDD
laying around you could try to swap it out and see if it makes a difference
but installing trisquel mini is most likley a good idea
also if you have less

weird i though the uk was in the eu...?
i personally use fastmail as they have a good privacy policy
but there’s still the problem that all my emails are stored on fastmails
servers so i can never rely know(unless i buy the company..) if they sell my
emails or give them to surveillance agency’s
so the best option is to run your
the bbb looks great for running home servers with all libre software
huh never knew debian had there owm pasting site...
also if you had the password built into the flash chip then
it would not die when you removed the motherboard battery
could the wifi card just be failing?
also if the wifi card works at all i think its not a libre driver problem.
btw this person has been a member for 4 mins at the time of this post
were are you buying this laptop from?
Trisquel doesn't include Adobe Flash or any proprietary pieces which are
needed for most commercial video sites.
not exactly needed youtube-dl can be a replacement for most of these sites
wow that bad?
i would of though a 2GHZ cpu could play video without stuttering even if your
gpu wont work well?
Would you recommend keeping gnash installed while using these plugins?
i personally don’t but i don’t think it would hurt.
Guess we wont have a choice when it comes to the hardware side.
we can always use older hardware
and do are best to reverse engineer newer hardware
it may be worth selling it for a machine with better freedom compatibility
like a x200 or x60
For that website and many others you can use youtube-dl
you can find info on how to use youtube-dl on this wiki page:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/play-videos-without-using-flash
also if you dont like the command line that you can use the graphical version
youtube-dl-gui of which you can also
I have never felt more locked down on an OS.
you can install adobe flash or just about anything else
we just have a policy of not recommending non-free software on this forum
and btw i highly recommend against installing adobe flash if you care about
your freedom and or privacy
also gnash is
i was asking as the shop might have some more info about the laptop
i remember when i quit steam and stopped playing all my favourite games
*Such a painful time... :'(
but seriously it wasn’t that bad i got over not playing Halflife, Portal,
GTA etc etc
so just try going without all the non-free video games
and only playing libre games for a week
and you
just as it has not been mentioned
this computer will almost certainly run a non-free bios
with the exception of Google chrome
it looks great!
as well as bash you should also check out lua
which is a great scripting language!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSxoOCn6Y4E
sudo apt-get install twm
whats it for?
if your recording pc games just use a screen recorder (gtk-recordmydesktop
works fullscreen)
and if its a games console like the snes just use a emulator
also you can just use the trisquel live cd so you don’t even need to
install it
the GameCube can run a pretty good amount amount of free software, such as
GNU/Linux.
i looked at the source code (git clone
http://git.code.sf.net/p/gc-linux/gc-linux-2-git)
and there are quite a few non-free firmwares as ihex files
so its mostly free but still a lot of non-free firmware
And if no libre games run on it, which I think is probably the case, then
the system is completely worthless as a system for freedom-respecting gaming,
regardless.
you can program your own software for it with free software
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/N64_Programming/Compiling
but apart
With these new FCC regulations
would installing Replicant on a
phone with a wifi card be illegal?
or well installing free software on any computer with a wifi chip???
this is the impression i got from your blog:
wow lucky people!
when you goto System Settings - Screen Display
what options do you have?
so as i am selling phones with Replicant pre-installed on them
if this law is passed i would be unable to sell them as Replicant would give
you control over the device?
or just this law only apply to company’s making new hardware
so they have to make the devices restrictive from the start?
yeah i did too
but it probably helps more if you list your
reasons for apposing it
i wonder why the libreplanet page is on a archive site?
dose this link work just aswell?

do you have a source on that?
wait there something i still don’t get
The FCC is a USA Authority?
i am selling from the UK
would they fine me?
do they have international power?
Wow
how did you set that up?

maby its being used in a different way here.

you should upgrade youtube-dl
try running
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
"who cares if it is a jail?"
it would mean a lot of otherwise wasted machines like old microwaves, dead

games consoles or reused in other machines like toasters, CD players etc
also anything that in unnecessarily a

"i believe we need to get some more updated DE like Gmone 3 and KDE and MAte

i am running gnome 3 with trisquel as i post this
you can run just about any DE you want on trisquel
but it would be good if it were easier to install them

"I'm aware of devices like the EverDrive, but that would be unethical as it
is another device to allow non-free games illegally downloaded from ROM
sites."
just about any computer can play illegally downloaded ROMS
by your logic the computer your posting this on is unethical for this reason.
