LoL That IS my mouse!
Libre office calc is good but for a slower pc gnumeric looks good:
when i run
apt-get autoremove this is the output:
root@trisquel7-gnu-linux:/home/tom# apt-get autoremove gnumeric
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
gnome-desktop-data gnumeric gnumeric-common
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the reply, it is nice to know that it will be removed beforehand
:), I guess I am a bit untrusting regarding package management.
The idea with a virtual machine is good so I will try that when I have some
time.
it looks good.
The only thing I am not to happy about is that it relies on
'gnome-desktop-data'...
So if I install it, and don't like it, how do I clean out the packages that I
don't require anymore?
i recommend
pastebin.com
If you prefer Claws, it is about three clicks away in the Synaptic package
manager (also installed by default).
i counted a minimum of 8 clicks
:)
hi Magic
the machine was actually an older install of Debian server that I intended to
use for some development but never got around to :)
regarding leafpad, I am sure she is going to prefer that before abiword...
On her w1ndow$ machine, she has lots of text editing software, and she always
hi Tom,
Thanks for the recommendation with the memory, it is a good explanation.
Allow me to get lost in memory :)
I had the following computers in sequence
1) one with an integrated green monitor; I found it in the junkyard when I
was... I don't know 6 or 7 years, I wasn't able to run any
my first pc was a very very slow
computer running windows 200 i think
that my dads school(he was a teacher) didn’t want anymore
i was 6 so i don’t remember much though
apart from the fact i was very disappointed :(
and i didn’t know what lxde was at the time
the second pc i owned was a 2gb ram
i assume you are expressing your value in ASCII
if so it would be 99 a lot more than the minimum clicks
for claws mail on a LXDE desktop environment would be
however if the firmware in the mouse was programed to only send a value to
the operating system letting it know the mouse was clicked if
Just attach the file to your post (add a .txt extension if needed).
well...
my better half wasn't to happy with the laptop... It apparently had nothing
to do with gnome but simply that it was to small and light!
So I gave her a older asus laptop... Pentium M 2GHz single core, 1GB of ram.
Nice 1650*10?? 4/3 monitor...
I set it up to run LXDE + claws mail, and
Here you go Jade, this is a config for JWM designed to imitate a Crunchbang
dark theme with single desktop. It was modified from a config posted on a
Crunchbang forum.
Feel free to copy paste and enjoy! For me, JWM is usually around 1mb on up
to 5mb depending on how much I add to startup
hmm, why did the format not remain, when posted?
Repeated whitespace in HTML is ignored by default.
if you want something more office like than leafpad
Abiword is a good light-weight libre program:

It works! It works! JWM is all fixed! THANK YOU Quidam :D :D :D :D
well so far so good for gnome3,
I myself really like the overview you have from the activities since I have
problems recognizing those small icons for the running applications that
flashback provided, and for some reason, this is the first time I ever feel
that using multiple desktops
For the Trisquel laptop, install Popcorn Time. It'll allow her to ditch
Netflix. Note that Popcorn Time is pirating, and as such has a better
selection and interface than Netflix. You should use a VPN+Popcorn TIme.
and the right website for that is https://popcorntime.io
I see we have the same layout. :D
HuangLao, did you actually get JWM to work on Belenos? I tried and tried on
Toutatis and finally gave up and decided that Flux would have to be good
enough. I will be so grateful to you if you did and can give me any tips as
far as workarounds to make it look like Damn Small Linux did circa
thank you Super!
Jaded, don't forget JWM (Joes window Manager) or just Openbox with tint2. I
have some good configs for both if interested.
I actually switched to that wallpaper now, it is quite nice :)
My idea of minimalism would be Docky/Cairo-dock/tint2 with synapse :)
I'd be interested to see your configs. There isn't anything much better than
spending a weekend getting the perfect setup, right? :)
Yes I really like this waalpaper. Here you have it if you want to use it on
your desktop!
Hi Trisquelian.
The Cairo docks looks a lot like mac os, which we both here happens to find a
fight to use, so that is not going to happen :)
also, we both like to simplecity of the current menu.
For most parts I really like gnome flashback as it is, and I think she will
too, she haven't
Hmm, I have heard linux handles touchscreens in non-natural way. I guess it
has to be application specific or something. Maybe only some browsers support
touchscreen movement? I am uncertain. This is all hypothetical.
That is also my feeling,
I think that lowering the barrier at every point is a good thing,
so I am using this opportunity to observe these interesting user difficulties
that are hard to imagine when you are on the other side.
that being said, I would like to point out, that I am very pleased
I think one should report tat to the GNOME's project.
Honestly, I think GNOME Shell is probably better for touchscreens than GNOME
Flashback. You can get it by installing the gnome-session and gnome-shell
packages (and get a better experience with it by installing gdm and making it
your default display manager).
I used GNOME Shell until the
I am right now trying out the normal Gnome, and it looks like at have some
advantages on touch screen.
But it is quite fun, that the background selection thing is the exact same as
in the Flashback :)
I will see what she thinks
minimalism rocks! :)
Supertramp, you almost recreated Trisquel mini. :)
Really nice wallpaper!
True minmalism is xmonad, and xmonad is beautiful. =w=
I like gnome flashback - I'm so used to it now that I really like it!!
Give her some time and she'll like it too
cheers
Wow. Um.
I don't know what to say.
Quite literately, my grandmother operates Trisquel perfectly, but I digress-
what about Sugar?
I do not know what to tell you really. The GNOME Flashback DE is all about
simplicity. It even comes with Metacity, which is a simple window manager. I
do prefer the settings you get when you right click the Desktop on XCE, GNOME
Flashback's is just too minimalist (it does not even give you
I don't really know if this is the right place to talk about this, but here
goes.
I recently installed Trisquel, first on my machine, then on my better-halfs
laptop.
I was impressed with how everything works, even the touch-screen. (it is a
asus-s200e wich sadly comes preinstalled with
42 matches
