My experience with audio/video calls with XMPP/Jabber clients is that it
quiet often it doesn't work or it's very unreliable. I had much better
experience with Tox clients, such qTox and uTox. I've only tried those on
Parabola though and I don't even know if they are available on Trisquel
That cool! :) Unfortunately I don't use slides or anything like that when I
teach, so I don't have any files I can share...
You should definitely learn Bash and there are many tutorials around the
Internet for that. You should lean basic usage for command-line tools like
grep, sed, awk, diff and patch. You should also learn how Deb packaging
works, for which there should be tutorials on the Ubuntu and Debian
You know that already, but me and other people from Technoethical will be
there - it takes place in my hometown. :)
We'll be doing workshops all day on Saturday and half day on Sunday.
Hello, Everyone! :)
I would like to invite you to this years Coliberator - an annual free
software conference that takes place in Bucharest, Romania. It's an
international event, in English. If you live in Europe the flights are
usually pretty cheap, so I'll be happy to see you there. :)
Have you generally experienced problems with T400S models overheating, as in
they often stop working properly, they are too hot to touch, or similar
issues?
Are you implying that Technoethical would refuse service if there's a problem
with a T400S model, even though it comes with a
A private server needs very little resources and it doesn't need to be that
stable. It's not as special as you think. Just try it and see.
I have a personal mail server, but I find that other's anti-spam systems make
my email server almost unusable sometimes. In fact, one the only email
service I could reliably communicate with is GMail. Others block my emails
for reasons I could hardly fix. Most notably:
They block me
Because for some people delegating work is harder than doing it themselves.
The most ecological solution generally is sharing one dedicated server
between many users. Each of them can administrate her own virtual machine. By
sharing, the load is more constant: the hardware does not spend as much
electricity being idle. The hardware in question usually is
You can, if you don't turn off your PC often and don't carry it around
regularly. But why would you need to use virtual OS instead of your normal
OS? That's doesn't seem efficient and it will require more resources.
I don't think it fair to say that Leah is innocent. Even if she happens to
be right about the reason, the way she deals with the situation and the way
she communicates with people (her emails for example), that's not acceptable
social behavior.
Or you could use:
find -name '*.c' -exec rm {} +
Which should be even better.
To add to what jbar suggests, it's even better to write:
find -name '*.c' -print0 | xargs -0 rm
Doing it this way should be even safer since names may have new lines in them
(almost never in reality, but it's possible).
I would also suggest adding an echo before rm or any other command you
I haven't recently used the default Trisquel graphical environment, but I
remember that changing the keyboard layout didn't work well at all. As a
workaround I installed GNOME Shell.
You can install GNOME Shell like this:
sudo aptitude -R install gnome-shell
Then you have to logout and
Suggesting once or twice that ovine should join the development of an
existing distro is one thing. But now you are basically accusing him that
he's doing something bad, which the exact opposite of what he says he wants
to do.
Trisquel isn't the first libre distro either, but you aren't
You should use the rating system rather than delete posts. We shouldn't rely
on privileged users to delete posts they consider unappropriated.
We already covered the topic of a desktop environments and other software
depending on systemd, such as GNOME, which seems like the main argument of
this text? It would be much more useful if you add to the undergoing
discussion rather than start it all over again.

Actually, those commands can be done in Emacs exactly the same as in gedit -
try them. The other three commands (search, replace, open) are different.
I stand correct, as it seems things are better than I thought on the multiple
developers issue, it's not only Ruben. On the other hand, things aren't that
much better, so it's really a minor detail that technically Ruben isn't the
only one. My point still stands, that if you want better
How is the attitude here similar to blocking questions, is it the because
people dare to disagree with all the speculations you refuse to provide prove
for? Nobody is blocking or censoring you in any way, yet again you are
twisting the truth here.
Show us the spyware in systemd and SELinux!
Your questions are useless, as they don't provide any real information, only
speculations. Your question are spreading noise and inhibiting any real
knowledge, facts and investigations. Also, most people here already agree
that Google is bad, is
Are you asking if it's a good idea to use gedit and GIMP to make such
websites? Yes, it is.
Although you don't need to use gedit or GIMP specifically. For example, other
text editor can be also be used instead of gedit. I would use GNU Emacs and
GIMP.
You'll also need to learn at least
Most probably because Ruben (the developer) is busy with other stuff and
there's no one else to do the job. :)
Still, Emacs is easy to start with, not any harder than nano for example.
You've posted numerous links in several topics and you have responses to all
or almost all of them. How about you actually start by responding to those
before wasting everyones time?
Still, testing and supervising contributions can be done by other people too,
like in other distributions, not just by Ruben. So that's not really an
excuse, it's just that Ruben is pretty much the only person who does
everything here. So we either need to help Ruben, or make another similar
Yes, thank you for saying this, because that's exactly the type of argument I
just don't agree with! :)
... because, you can type code in Emacs almost exactly like in gedit.
What keys does a basic user use in gedit and similar programs 99% of the
time? Arrows for moving, Ctrl-c for copy,
And what do you disagree with, I don't understand? :)
You are taking what I wrote too literally.
In your previous post above you are implying that the issue of the discovered
and proven spyware feature made by Canonical should be treated the same as
your speculations (questions) about hypothetical vulnerabilities in SELinux
and systemd. So,
HuangLao, I don't feel I can learn anything all from your numerous debates.
It seems like all of your arguments are always based on speculations and
aren't backed by any evidence. When you provide references they typically
have little to do with your claims, are just some discussion between
The only issue with search engines is privacy- and
GNU like DuckDuckGo for a reason.
Ruben and some other people in the free software community may like
DuckDuckGo, but saying GNU likes DuckDuckGo is misleading. It's not like

The problem with DuckDuckGo is that it's highly centralized, just like Google
is - everyone connects to one provider, which means all search queries can be
logged in one centralized database and associated with you. The same problem
is true with Ixquick and Startpage.

The majority of packages are already ported to ARM, as Debian and Ubuntu
support ARM.
The real answer is that Ruben just hasn't done it, so someone else should do
it, if he/she wants to. There are ARM computers which run with free
software, even if something like the GPU may not work.
I'm pretty sure that if you install 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad' and
'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly' you'll get all widely used codecs. Trisquel 7
installs them by default.
'libfaac0' is the only codec package I found that 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'
installs, but isn't available in Trisquel.
With this kind of projects you should always wait and see before endorsing.
When it comes out we should make a judgment by installing a completely free
OS and seeing what works.
That said, the AllWinner processor (SoC) uses the Mali-400 GPU, which is

I'm sure there are many people here, who use Trisquel as a main and only
everyday OS. :)
I've used exclusively Trisquel for 5 years now, judging by how old my account
is.
The problem isn't with the Bulgarian localization or anything like that, but
only with switching of keyboard layouts. In fact, I installed Trisquel 7
mini with a Bulgarian layout several weeks ago, and I use Trisquel 7
(non-mini) with a Bulgarian layout on my computer. :)
We already had a
One way to fix this is to install GNOME Shell and use that, as it's able to
switch users from the locked screen. You can wait for other suggestions, if
you prefer to not use GNOME Shell.
You can install GNOME Shell with:

do alike should a similar situation arise, despite the seemingly ignorant
responses you have so far received.
Hi again, I had a similar issue a while back. The thing that helped me was
installing the latest linux-libre kernel from jxself repository.
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/update-linux-libre-kernel
You can try upgrading/downgrading the kernel. Also, Trisquel 7 wasn't
officialy released yet and might still have some issues. Have you tried
suspend in Trisquel 6?
I meant on a public server, didn't realize it might be possible to run a

Hi thomasmilo!
Yes, Sabnzbd would not be allowed in the Trisquel repositories as it requires
