Hello, northernarcher!
You need to install readline. Did ./configure kick out any warnings? I
believe it would've caught this. You'll likely also need libssl,
build-essential, and a half-dozen other packages. If you're building Ruby in
order to build a Rails project, these are the
If I attempt to trust a self-signed certificate in Midori on Trisquel Mini,
it throws the following error:
Error granting trust: Couldn't find a place to store the pinned certificate
pkcs11:library-description=PKCS%2311%20Kit%20Trust%20Module
Searching the Internet yields a Midori FAQ page
Any ideas? Here's the error I get while installing the meta package:
Errors were encountered while processing:

I was recently introduced to viki.com and noticed that in some (non-free)
browsers, it provided an option for HD viewing. When I use Abrowser, it
forces 360p and sometimes the subtitles are off. It looks like they're using
Flow Player.
Is there a way (using Libre software, of course) to
7. Fresh install.
How do I install other locales?
While I'm using Abrowser and not Firefox, this post appears to have resolved
my issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=233851#c18
I installed the two debs provided and everything is peachy. I'm relatively
certain those files are Libre. If not, please let me know.
A couple of questions for Trisquel 7:
1. Can I adjust the way the clock displays in the lower right panel? I'd
like it to be in 24 hour time. My clock settings are for 24 hour time, but
the panel clock doesn't reflect that.
2. Is it possible to snap windows to the side of the screen,
After some digging, I discovered it's not actually the clock applet but the
indicator applet. You have to change its settings in dconf-editor. See the
attached screenshot for the location to make these changes.
How can I get Abrowser (and other applications) to render non-English
characters?
I've attached a screenshot of a Korean site and a screenshot of qGo's server
list for Tygem. The squares should be a Korean character set.
I have this issue with other languages as well.
Thanks!
My son really likes to use the computers at the local library and I've been
looking to replace my mac mini which runs Xubuntu (I'm not sure Trisquel
would have the necessary drivers). I believe an all-in-one would be a good
fit here at home but I'm having trouble identifying one that might
I'll have to sit down and try to get Trisquel installed some evening, then.
I don't currently use the wifi with the mini, so that's good to know.
What about graphics issues? Does that sort of thing work out of the box?
Nexuiz (as previously mentioned) is an absolute blast. Minstagib with low
gravity, grappling hooks, and a large open map is intense.
Brutal DOOOM and FreeDOOM are an option that requires a little bit of setup,
but it's worth it.
Minetest (also mentioned) is a lot of fun with the right
I'm not sure if a new build was released or if I'm doing something dumb but
I downloaded a fresh copy of the Trisquel desktop installer and it's plagued
with Orca screen reader. It shows up during the installer, on the login
screen, and after logging in.

Is there a good way to get all of my network services talking to Tor like I
can with Orbot on my Replicant device? I suppose that's a question for
another thread...
After the discourse in this thread:

I asked about using Tor for all of my Internet traffic on my Trisquel
netbook. Is it possible to configure all of my networked applications to use
Tor, much like using Orbot on my Replicant
What are some good packages to help me lock down my Trisquel netbook? I've
been using open wireless networks a lot lately in cafes and at work and I
want to make sure I'm keeping ports closed and general access to my machine
restricted.
Thanks!
I suppose these days modems for phone lines are obsolete. Do any modems
exist that function via USB? If so, are there any that work with Trisquel?
Does anyone have recommendations for a TODO application that I can use on
both Replicant and Trisquel? I'd rather it not be hosted by a third party
and I don't mind manually making the sync when I connect my phone (moving
files or whatever).
I already use Tasque and I installed Mirakel,
pumpa is a decent desktop client: http://saz.im/software/pumpa.html
I'm using XFCE installed from Trisquel's repos, but it appears to be 4.8.
What's the best way to upgrade to 4.10? Download the source? Is a package
availalbe? I don't want to introduce conflicts and break packages if I can
avoid it.
Thanks!
I'm on an Asus Eee PC X101CH. Generally, everything works quite well. I'm
having some audio trouble, though.
Audio seems to work just fine until I plug in headphones. I can briefly hear
the sound over the headphones and then the mute notification pops up and
there's no sound. I've
Unmuting while the headphones are plugged in causes the unmute notification
to pop up, but no sound comes out of the headphones.
Does any freedom respecting GPS hardware work? I've got a Garmin NuVi and it
made me wonder if there was a worthwhile replacement. As far as offensive
proprietary gear goes, this one is right up there with the worst.
It seems that the small, single-purpose, electronics industry doesn't
I'm using an Asus Eee PC X101CH with Trisquel. h-node has good information
on it and the fixes from a related notebook (linked in the h-node listing)
worked well for me. Newer releases of Trisquel worked out of the box.
I replaced the hard drive with an SSD. I needed a pretty small/slim
Does anyone have recommendations for (preferably Freedom respecting) small,
silent computers? Probably something with SSD disks. I just discovered my
VPN service provides a static external IP and I'm considering hooking up some
services locally from my home.
Thanks!
I figured I'd roll two posts into one because they're somewhat related.
1: Is there a way to watch Flash videos without using proprietary clients?
I'm interested in a subscription to the English subtitled Baduk TV from Go
Game Guru, but it appears as if the videos are using Flash. Here's
Does anyone know of any Libre games like tradewars, astro-empires, or
eve-online? I'm looking for a space trading game, preferably 2d or browser

Thanks!
Does anyone have recommendations for a bookmark manager or reading list
manager? Something local/offline would be just fine. I currently use
pinboard, but I'm gradually moving away from SaaSS and other non-Free

When I view a video in most any application (totem, parole, mplayer, vlc,
minitube), the video and audio are terribly out of sync. The video generally
will start to stutter as well. I've noticed that zsnes suffers from the same
issues.
Could this be indicative of hardware issues or is
That's the kicker, there's absolutely no error in vidmode. Here's my

properly counts down to 3700K.

The issue I had with the previous snippet is that I was unsure what the
