I have to say it felt a bit intimidating to leave a comment to FCC,
especially since it could not be done anonymously, but I think it was
necessary. Just wanted to say thank you to Chris and others in the community
for all the hard work you have done with this matter. Keep up the good work
Can anyone easy update it?. And change CMOS battery with only 4-screws
replacement?
As can be seen in their video (1:05 - 1:25) in their crowdfunding campaign

access the hardware very easily including the CMOS. You
Nice additions! Thanks!
I think the best thing about this manual is its extendebility. If Trisquel
ever changes its display manager, all we have to do is to add a new section
of said DM if it does not exist in the manual already.
Hi everyone,
I just added a new manual in the documentation section about loging promt
(display manager) configuration. Do you anything you would like to add? Some
ideas? If so, please do!

Hi everyone!
Just upgraded to 7 from 6 and I'm loving it. I have three problems though.
1. When using one finger scrolling with a touchpad, the scrolling directions

I just got my new Tehnoetic TET-N150 wireless USB adapter today. I tested it
with my Trisquel GNU/Linux friendly laptop by removing the internal wifi

Hi jsebean,
I just tried to search your graphics card from www.h-node.org and it seems
that it is not reported. Could you report it? It would be very useful to
other people. Your comments would be especially useful in the comment section

It is similar to truecrypt and it is free software. It is a script nowadays

Hi everyone.
I wrote you some time ago about my final thesis which was practically done
back then and was waiting for an approval from my school. Well, I got a word

Permanent link to my final

I'm back.
I see the thesis database's maintainers haven't approved my thesis yet, so
we'll have to wait. I don't know how long it will take. I hope it won't take
long. There shouldn't be anything wrong with my work since it has been
approved by my instructor.
Hi guys. Just wanted to let you know that I have finished writing my thesis

Yes, please do.
Ok, I have decided to use the CC BY-ND 3.0 license for the thesis and GPLv3

let you know when it is.
Hi,
About the license, I don't yet know the exact CC license types which I can
use. Would Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-ND 3.0) be suitable, by
the way? I'm not really an expert when it comes to CC licenses.
Would you then be ready to proof read it? It would have to be read through
really fast since the deadline for the work is 14th May, that is on next
Tuesday. Also, my instructor would have to approve it again before that day,
so you (or anyone willing) would have to proof read it FAST.

UPDATE
Just sent a copy to Michał Masłowski and magicfab. I hope they are fast
readers. Thank you Michał Masłowski and magicfab! Just be very fast.
Now I'm not sure whether I should use the CC BY-SA license.
I'm thinking of using either CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 or CC BY-ND 3.0. Maybe the
non-commercial one. This way, my thesis could be shared, but not altered. Why
should it be altered? Its a final thesis, not a software manual.

If FSF or any other free software friendly organization prefers to distribute
my thesis if it is under GFDL, then yes I can.
I am the sole author. I'm thinking of releasing it as CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 for my
school's database and with GFDL for everyone else if there are people who are
interested about it and would prefer a different license (FSF and FSFE,
maybe?).
Thanks Magic Banana! I'll be sure to do that.
