Hi,
on my notebook I currently use the Trisquel 8 operating system.
With Trisquel 8 I cannot install a VPN service.
For privacy reasons a few days ago I tried to install the 3 browsers below:
- www.brave.com,
- www.epicbrowser.com and
- WWW.torproject.com.
As the 3 above privacy browsers are
Hello everybody,
on my notebook I have the Trisquel 8.0 Operating System.
Yesterday I downloaded a PDF file from a website.
For security reasons I tried to move the PDF file from the Downloads folder
to a USB key by opening the Downloads folder, clicking the file => Edit =>
What other alternative browsers do you suggest to install when abrowser
doesn't work?
Thank you very much for your reply!
Hello,
where (link) can I find the list of preloaded software of Trisquel 8?
This to avoid downloading a software once again, if this software is already
installed in the new Trisquel 8 version.
Thanks and...Happy New Year.
New in town
Hello,
as alternative browser for Trisquel 8 I suggest www.brave.com and
www.epicbrwoser.com.
If, for any reason, the preloaded Trisquel 8 Abrowser doesn't work, I use an
alternative browser to surf the Internet.
Do you know or have you already used these privacy-oriented browsers?
Two months ago I installed on my notebook Trisquel 7 as operating system.
I currently have a Canon PIXMA MG4250 printer; is there a printer driver
compatible with Trisquel 7 available for this printer or do I have to
purchase a new printer?
What are the portable printers compatible with
I just noticed from the "Switched to Linux" Youtube channel, that the new
LibreOffice 6 update is available.
When a libre software like LibreOffice available in the Trisquel Add/Remove

Magic Banana,
many thanks for the warning about the Amazon Kindle reader.
As Amazon Kindle reader is malware, does a Linux based Kindle reader exist?
Hello onpon4,
thank you very much for your advice.
I really appreciate it.
Hello mason,
thank you very much for your response and advice.
To work on my notebook I need to install the Applications below:
-driver for printer,
-BleachBit
-Brasero
-ClamAV Antivirus
-Evince (PDF files reader)
-Kindle reader for Linux
-LibreOffice
-Marble (World maps)
-Stacer
-Translate
Thank you very much to JabJabs, garfilth, onpon4 and Magic Banana for your
very important and priceless advice.
I really appreciate it.

Once a user installs on his computer or notebook the Trisquel 7 operating

As an alternative to Firefox I suggest the Waterfox browser at

What are your opinion about Waterfox?

I NEVER said on this forum "I need help to install Comodo for Linux"; instead
I only wrote "The only antivirus for Linux computers I know is Comodo

Do you notice the difference?

Hello onpon4,
thank you very much for your really appreciated advice and

On Trisquel 7 operating system I'll use ClamAV/ClamTK rather than Comodo for
Linux antivirus.
Hello bobstechsite,

You can't run Trisquel on ARM machines, I'm afraid.
Debian, however, is an option for ARM.
If there was a way to run Trisquel on ARM, you could use netinstall, rather
than the GUI installer.
It looks like LibertyBSD is dead.
The website (libertybsd.org) is down-- the FTP server and pub are still up,
but you can't download any files from it.
Can anyone confirm this? And if the site is indeed down, does anyone happen
to know of a mirror of the project?
I wonder why I can't access the site, then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's called xmonad! :D
You would retain your window settings as long as the xfsettingsd daemon is
still running.
Internet 101: When in doubt, do a !w pipermail, or search Wikipedia.
!w pipermail gave me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Mailman
ReactOS doesn't work all that well yet, but when it does, you'll have an OS
that can run less libre programs than GNU/Linux, and probably worse than
GNU/Linux.
Just stick with Trisquel, or some other such FSDG distro.
Well, here's my desktop now.
Still using xmonad and such, yadah-yah.
PS: Anyone have an idea of what I should set the super key to do? I like the
Alt key as the modifier key (For Emacs and the WM, xmonad), so the super/meta
key just sits there uselessly... :p
Purely free GNU/Linux operating systems have been the only ones I've used
over the past 41 weeks and 6 hours (How long I've been on this forum :p)-- I
was a beginner, and found Trisquel to be quite user-friendly. You won't ever
need to touch the terminal unless you want to, so don't worry
What GTK theme are you using? 'Tis nice!
Aidwata's getting dull. :p
...albeit from Parabola.
I don't understand what you mean...
Epiphany is a GNOME project, also called GNOME Web- it's available in the
Trisquel repos and Parabola repos. (If memory serves, at least, it's in the
Trisquel repos. If not, you can go to the GNOME PPA)
I couldn't find the Asus N15 on H-Node-- it seems to me that it isn't a free
software-friendly card.
I'd reccomend a wifi USB dongle from www.thinkpenguin.com
Blender works for me on Trisquel 7 (The latest release), and I'm unaware of
any compatibility issues or some such thing.
Well, if you want KDE Plasma 5 sooner, you could install Parabola
GNU/Linux-libre and enable the testing repo.
It's not as user-friendly as Trisquel, so you should be kinda experienced
with the command line.
I mean, you have to consider what a reputable VPN company has to lose-- if
someone finds out that logs are being sold then that company's reputation
goes down the toilet, as well as their business.
It's certainly possible that they would sell your logs, but I don't think
they'd take such a
What? That's not true. You can demand anything you want before releasing a
program to the public-- not that you'll get it.
The donation-release was disabled, anywho, and LibertyBSD was released
despite not reaching it's goal.
Alright, let's recap what's happened so far.
-leny stated that someone should be able to clone almost any 8/16-bit game
via the books on inventwithpython.com.
-onpon said that one shouldn't underestimate the difficulty that comes with

My tribute to thee!
You forgot to say *Drops Mic*!
But wow, that's a true hacker setup!
Wait. Vimperator?
St. Ignucius isn't happy with you, kfarewell.
xD
Where can I get a poster?
Guess I need to update my picture!
I've since switched to Parabola GNU/Linux-Libre and installed GNOME 3.16!
(It's beautiful~~)
If it makes up for it, I don't have a desktop manager. :p
I think Trisquel is OK for the general public to use.
You don't need to even touch the terminal to use Trisquel, but people on the
forums tell people how to use it anyways. (I'm guilty of this as well...)
Add/Remove Applications is fine, but GNOME Software is much better. I hope
Trisquel 8
Perhaps just get a moderator or some such thing to just delete this
spam/rubbish.
Yea, Trisquel GNU/Linux should work perfectly for your daughter. If she can
point-'n-click, then she's OK.
That's great! :D
Onpon continues 4's legacy.
They're illegal in the US, but I don't expect to be shot or anything. (DMCA
act)
You'll probably be fine installing them, though.
As David said, Audacity makes it fairly simple to increase the audio of a
file. If I remember correctly, there is a 'slider' to the left side of the
track you're editing you can use.
I mean, SaaSS is when you do your computing on someone else's computer (Like
Google Docs), while something that has to do with communicating with people
(Like this forum, IMing, webmail) is not you doing your computing on someone
else's computer.
Webmail is not SaaSS.
Yes it is. But the more RAM and better storage you get for it will make the
game perform better.
Doom 3 and TDM will work better at 8GB and an SSD than on 2GB and an HDD, for
example.
Hey there,
I just installed Trisquel 7 and was pretty pleased until I tried to get the
radeon driver to run.
The open source AMD driver needs firmware blobs. Who would have known...
Since there is no linux-firmware-nonfree package, there is no way to no run
the radeon driver. Also there
That's reasonable I guess, but I don't want to work with Fallback nor a laggy
Gnome shell.
Until there is a way to install it manually I guess I'll have to stick to
Arch or try Ubuntu Gnome.
Waiting for AMD to become blob-free isn't a thing I believe. :D
Hopefully a future release will fit
If I could use this distribution I would donate for sure, let me tell you.
And if my coding skills would be anywhere near good enough for driver reverse
engineering I would do it too.
And I mostly complained about the inability to read more about the
distribution- specific issues I had,
The forum IS searchable! When you use the search button, it searches the
entire website, including the forum.
And Trisquel does have a wiki- click Documentation at the top to be taken
there.
What?! Surely you jest!
I'm not sure how to help, sorry.
Just stopping by to say that LibrePlanet 2015 looks nice. :)

by the Free Software
Come on guys, don't forget Doom!
You can play DM, Co-op and such with the original iwads or FreeDoom (A free
culture replacement).
It's a great laptop, but it has non-free BIOS. It's free software friendly,
though, and works perfectly with Trisquel.
Google Chrome is proprietary software, so I'd recommend using Abrowser or GNU
Icecat instead
Conclusion of the topic thus far:
Wow, you guys really have steroid-infused desktops! @_@
I didn't know the default DE could look *that good*!
Might I add that the SpiderOak software is proprietary with some GPLv3
tools, as Wikipedia puts it.
Well, I have an ownCloud instance running. You can use it, if you want. :)
Here's a zip I made a while back with everything you need to get xmonad
working easily and quickly. (Including doing waht you asked about)
I probably should've attached it to the OP post, sorry.
Convert to xmonad-ism, Coffee Cup! :p
@_@
Someone needs an apt-get dist upgrade!
Success! I found out what his Icecat theme was. It was Groovy Blue at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/groovy-blue/
Scary applet. @_@
(Side Note: What Icecat theme is that?)
(Side-Side Note: What Minetest servers do you play on? :p)
Oh no. This was supposed to be in the Troll Hole. I really screwed up.
I'm so sorry. ;-;
Could this be moved to the Troll Hole with some Admin Magic?
I have a VPN you can use, if you like.
From your comment, banan it seems that the partition is mounted (I.E. you see
it in the file manager) and when you click it you can't open it, right?
You need to open a terminal and type in sudo nautilus, followed with your
password when it prompts you.
Then, a new file manager window will pop
The LiveUSBs have an install.exe to make the transition from Windows to
Trisquel easy, but that is a secondary function. The primary function of the
LiveUSBs is to install Trisquel by booting off of the USB directly from BIOS.
It also requires a password.
Same here. I can't log on, either.
(Oh, hey, you use Arvixe for Owncloud too! :D)
And might I ask, how did you deblob the ports tree?
I'm pretty sure that restriction disqualifies it as free software.
Freedom 0- to run the program for any purpose. That's restricting freedom 1,
isn't it?
Well, if you use a phone that has entirely free software, there won't be an
application to track you via battery, nor will there be ad-ware.
You could still be tracked via cell towers, though.
Replicant or the Neo900.
Not even every $100 you spend- only eligable AmazonSmile purchases have
0.5% donated, so it's probably more like 50 cents per $200 or so.
I had a fair amount of difficulty attempting to understand your question...
But I think you were asking how you can free your computer and phone?
There is no Android for iPhone in a working state, and Replicant is currently
impossible for iPhones.
You can install Trisquel on a fair amount of

Market data just proves that selling proprietary software works, not that
it's the only way to make a profit off of software.
Non-free blobs? Not that I'm aware of. Doom 3 is Free Software, but the art
assets aren't. Art is nonfunctional data that isn't software.
And when did I say that you
Exactly! Users want to be able to ring up someone and say Hey, my computer's
flupped up or Can you add this feature? but proprietary software doesn't
allow this.
They don't want a non-free system that's locked down, they just want a system
that works and is consumer friendly. Free Software
Perhaps it has, but could you clarify how so?
There isn't any data that users want to be a non-free, locked-down system.
There's data that says Doom 3 BFG's source was released under the GPL, and
data that proves ID still made a profit, though.
It's FSF certified, Ruben is fantastical and has deblobbed the Ubuntu system.
Running vrms leads to it saying the system is clean.
Trisquel has been evaluated by many, many people.
I don't understand your logic.
Running a DRM'd piece of proprietary software is the same as running a
non-DRM'd piece of proprietary software.
If you're going to use non-DRM'd games, you might as well indulge in DRM'd
games, and you might as well install Windows.
When you can justify that
Again, Running a DRM'd piece of proprietary software is essentially the same
as running a non-DRM'd piece of proprietary software.
Either way, you're running proprietary software.
If you're going to use non-DRM'd games, you might as well indulge in DRM'd
games, and you might as well install
Seriously? I must've read a bad article or something. Sorry about that!
It's a nice fantasy, but it very likely won't happen.
Too much non-free firmware and drivers to muck about with in the mobile
world, and Rubén's got enough on his plate.
There's Replicant, anyways.

This Occupy GPL thing pretty much goes by the Let's save the village by

Um, you're talking about permissive licensing. Copyleft would require Apple
to release the useful bits, permissive would not require Apple to.
Glad you liked it! :)
Wlecome to freedom, klepto!
The .net Microsoft recently released isn't even open-source by the OSI's
standards. It's not permissive, it's not copyleft, it's bs.
Another Diaspora...?
It worked perfectly for me- I guess it depends on where you are, or some such
thing.
I hope Mozilla improves Hello so it works for everyone...
You wouldn't want to just say GNU like Trisquel GNU, because that doesn't
give the Linux kernel the credit it deserves.
GNU/Linux is the best we can do, for now.
The best option is to get the Hurd running well so we can damn this naming
problem forever. :p
