GNOME Flashback: https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GnomeFlashback
Well and alive (at least in Ubuntu and Debian) and recognised by GNOME.
exactly what the page I linked to says :)
Glad to hear that.
For extra credits you could see if the xev command sees the Fn+right combo. I
guess it must because you get the indicator. If you get a keysym you could
use xbindkeys to bind it to a script.
Its is likely the case for all languages. We have to manually chose English
keyboard from gnome control center to be able to type anything. I think the
keyboad should be set to English by default at least for Indian languages as
only interface language is normally expected.
If gnewsense is not an option, then trisquel is the only system if you not
very skilled on computers? If fsf's requirements about free software are that
strict, that debian cannot be endorsed and trisquel is not managed on a level
that is acceptable, shouldn't fsf take charge and provide a
The fsf doesn't care at all about practical issues, e.g. if there is a
somewhat usable free operating system out there, they don't see any problem
and will endorse it, no matter how problematic it is to use it in real life.
I think they'd look like complete 4r53h0l35 doing that.
I run Trisquel 7 now. I installed jitsi from the repos and it crashes all the
time. Whether or not ther is activity on the ap afer I log i it always
crashes. The following link has the output when I start jitsi from the CLI:

What a strange thing to say. Of course they do like everybody else but it's
simply not their first priority. Proprietary software is useless even when it
would be otherwise usable.
The Free software foundation is primarily concerned with... surprise

GNewSense is an option, just not a really useful option for most people since
it's based on Debian 6 (and therefore has really old software).

Hey guys, I followed the directions in the libreboot documentation for
installation, and I get to the options to try without installing, etc, but
when I hit enter to try without installing, install, or even install from
text mode, it hangs. I know this isn't a lot of information to go on,
You can install extensions from https://extensions.gnome.org (gcampax seems
to have authored most of the extensions for GNOME Classic:
https://extensions.gnome.org/accounts/profile/gcampax ).
GNOME Shell's extension mechanism is fantastic. It is sad many users do not
know it exists.
Nouveau handles all nVidia cards but the very oldest and the newest... but
the support level greatly varies! ThinkPenguin chose to sell the GeForce
8400GS because all its main features are working and the performances
obtained with nouveau are close to those obtained with the proprietary

Well, a lot of work is left for us as well as the developer/s

Happy to know that Ruben seems reviewing the workflow and plans to rework on
Trisquel webpages. True, once the developers meeting is up, lets hope the
project gets real boost.
My views on Trisquel goes like
It was automatically removed when I removed xserver-xorg-video-ati.
Thanks for explaining!
I booted Trisquel 6 in live mode from a CD, to compare things with Trisquel
7. The same xserver-xorg-video-* packages were installed (but perhaps using
different versions; I didn’t check that). `/etc/modprobe.d/` includes the
same files with the same contents.
For the free software movement it would be a big win if somebody could come
up with a way to ignore “bad” graphics cards in favor of better built-in
graphics.
After upgrading Trisquel, I can no longer type in Japanese like before.
I have Ibus selected under keyboard input method system.
Could someone please tell me how to solve this?
Squirrel!
I expect that it will eventually make its way to BitTorrent, just not yet as

Any idea ?
Thanks!
Probably wise to do a search on your ISP's name and 'modem mode router setup'
just to see if anyone has extracted the details from them, perhaps add your
modem model number if there are too many results. However, if 90% of routers
work with it, then LibreCMC definitely will. I'd suggest
Again, as stated above, the note about switching away from GNU/Linux was
sarcasm. The intent of that note was to show that, as long as you're giving
up part of your freedom for a working GNU/Linux computer, you might as well
just give up control over your computing, back to Microsoft or

I'm using the gluglug X60, it has intel graphics. Libreboot won't give me a
list of options, it just lets me edit the boot commands directly.
I'm thinking of getting the Respects-Your-Freedom certified Wireless-N

It is possible to install unity in Trisquel 7 (and run it from terminal), but
not to choose it in lightdm at login to actually use it as a standard DE.
Therefore I consider it broken at the moment.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to solve this in software.
Install the ibus-anthy package, then under Region Language/Input Sources,
add Japanese (Anthy).
I think what you probably need is ubuntu-session.
Maybe @Chris from Thinkpenguin will answer, in the meantime:
The Reddit criticism is mainly from people who don't believe the
freedom is first priority. As one commenter points out the age of

Hi,
I added gnome-shell, gnome-session and gnome-extensions packages with
aptitude. When I start the shell and then gnome-tweak-tool, no extensions
show as available. I know about going to the web page and using that ui, but
what is the package for?
To Trisquel 7. I get to the Trisquel install menu, with the Trisquel logo,
but when I hit enter on any of the install options, it hangs.
Hi guys, I'm doing research about tools to create interactive web apps,
something similar to Flash, but a free one. I am not a programmer so I would
prefer a tool / standard not too complicated to learn. Does it exist? or
could you give clues?
Thank you!
I got it working. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but I think I only
had to install the Japanese language package.
I can't use the same program in different workspaces. If I have Abrowser open
in one workspace and switch to another worksapce and try to open Abrowser
there I only get to the Abrowser in the first workspace. Is there anyway to
have the same program open in two separate workspaces? I'm using
The extensions show up for me. You need to log out and log back in (or maybe
reboot, I'm not sure) before they show up, though.
It's the ibus-anthy package, not just the regular language pack. I had
exactly the same problem with old versions of Trisquel.
Honestly, I think it would be nice if Anthy was installed by default, but oh
well. The solution is very simple.
How about OpenLaszlo?
Wikipedia says that the zip file format was released into the public domain.
Does that mean that it's free?
How does zip compare to other archiving formats? Does the answer change
depending on the archive material size (eg 5mb, 500mb, 50gb)?
Zip seems like a good option for a workplace,

I believe gnome-shell-extensions should make GNOME Classic an option at
the graphical login screen.
With GNOME Shell, in the overview mode, you can right click on an icon and
choose to new window. Alternatively, you can Ctrl+click on the icon.
In Gnome Shell, can you right click Abrowser -- open new window?
I'm just guessing ... I don't have Gnome Shell
ZIP is free and has popular free implementations. Recent software
handles big archives (see ZIP64). 7z produce smaller files at slower
compression and bigger memory usage: decide what's important if you can
install software there.
On Unix-like systems tar archives compressed by gzip (same
Zip uses the same algorithm as Gzip, DEFLATE. The main difference is Zip uses
it individually on each file, whereas Gzip uses it on the entire archive
collectively, making Gzip better. I don't think there's really a good reason
to use Zip, except to give something to a Windows user (since

By the way, here's a rundown of the formats I'd recommend:
tar.gz: Quick, basic compression. Best choice for small files, since the
extra compression of other formats doesn't help much.
tar.xz or tar.lzma: Slower, much better compression. A good choice for really
big files.
7z: Basically
I also have a GLUGLUG Libreboot X60s but have yet to upgrade to Trisquel 7. I
was waiting for it to bed down a little before making the jump. What kernel
version are you running at the moment? I'm running the latest update
v3.2.0.70.84 available from the toutatis update archive. I believe
Thank you Magic Banana and Muhammed, it worked. :)
My recommendations would differ: GZIP is speed matters (it may even be faster
than copying the original files), XZ if size matters... and speed usually
matters when the archive is GB large (you do not want to spend hours
compressing).
Never mind; turned out I just needed to type localhost:631 into my browser
instead of using System Settings like I do on Toutatis.
So just installed Trisquel 7 on a Acer C720 Chromebook and up to now
everything seems stable and fast. I've been using Elementary OS and while
that was good it got a little buggy so thought I'd try this after hearing
about it on the Linux action show.

Newbee Q: When installing new applications on standard install trisquel.
Where do you find your applications (like icons - not hencing to cli
applications). (In a gnome shell or unity you can search for them, but how to
do this in standard trisquel install?)
Most workplaces install a third party compression utility on top of W$. All
those I know of and Apple stuff understand GZIPed TAR named .tgz. If yours
haven't get the admins to install 7-zip which AIUI is free software.
Otherwise you'll probably run into problems with some older machines
Judging by the ubuntu-session package description it indeed seems like the
missing piece. However installing it didn't add anything in the lightdm menu.
Running dpkg-query -L ubuntu-session shows that there are only documentation
files included in the package, but no real .desktop or
They should be in the menu. You can open it by clicking on the trisquel icon
on panel at the bottom left corner of the screen.
Sorry, didn't see your link. I probably got the idea from the same page.
Thanks for the info on viewtube. I hadn't heard of that one.
Nevermind guys, it turned out to be ridiculously stupid. I was trying to
install a 64-bit operating system on a 32-bit computer. Sorry for wasting
everyone's time.

I already have the ibus-anthy package. I checked with synaptic. I installed
