[Trisquel-users] Trisquel present and future
Hi all, what will the Triquel future be? It'll follow Ubuntu cleaning it from non free software? What about Unity/Gnome 3? Why didn't Trisquel start from Debian instead of Ubuntu?

Hello, i posted this yesterday at the mailing list, but somehow it doesn't appear there. Therefore I post it again at the web forum. - in abrowser in the about:plugins site there is a link to plugins.mozilla.org which contains non-free plugins. - included seamonkey in Trisquel 4.5 seems to be unmodified with freedom issues including recommending non-free software, see http://libreplanet.org/wiki/List_of_software_that_does_not_respect_the_Free_System_Distribution_Guidelines#seamonkey Regards, Henry
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel present and future
It'll follow Ubuntu cleaning it from non free software? Trisquel removes nonfree software, adds more free software replacing it, makes more usable default configuration. What about Unity/Gnome 3? They have usability problems and require hardware 3d acceleration which is not available for many users without nonfree software. Thus it won't be default. Why didn't Trisquel start from Debian instead of Ubuntu? Why should it start from Debian? gNewSense is based on Debian and removing nonfree software isn't significantly easier there. pgpecpAn4herY.pgp Description: PGP signature

Will Gnome 3 be an option during install? My Intel graphics card is well supported by the 3D free software drivers and can run Gnome 3 quite well... Though reading this has made me worry about Gnome 3. http://www.christoph-wickert.de/blog/2011/06/25/gnome-developer-quote-of-the-day/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel present and future
So are you saying that Trisquel will never have Gnome 3? Or free software will be able to manage 3D effects in Gnome 3?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel present and future
So are you saying that Trisquel will never have Gnome 3? I don't see a problem with including it in repos and not installing it by default. (I'm not a developer of Trisquel.) Or free software will be able to manage 3D effects in Gnome 3? I never used Gnome 3 (I use XFCE, now mostly on a machine without 3d hardware). Intel and some Nvidia GPUs have working 3d effects in other programs. Newer Nvidia GPUs need nonfree firmware for Nouveau, not yet reverse engineered and all Radeons need nonfree firmware which AMD doesn't want to free or document (it's related to Digital Restriction Management in their hardware). pgpQZDht9OHfB.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel present and future
The choice of the next Trisquel's default desktop has already been discussed in this thread: http://trisquel.info/fr/forum/which-desktop-next-trisquel The next Trisquel will use Gnome 2.32 (like the last Ubuntu). Then, Trisquel will use, by default, Gnome 3 but without Gnome Shell (because it requires a rather recent OpenGL support that is unavailable, via Free drivers, for those having ATI/AMD cards and unstable for those with a nVidia cards). Notice however that the gnome-shell package already is Trisquel's repositories (that of Slaine and that of Taranis).
[Trisquel-users] Live System not found.
I've been installing 4.5 on various computers throughout my apartment. The system I haven't been successful with thus far is my HP Pavilion Elite 410-y desktop. I was trying to use the 64-bit edition, because the system has 8 GB of RAM. The problem is that I get an error indicating that no medium with a live system could be found. Any suggestions?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Live System not found.
Have you tried using the 32 bit edition? You should be able to utilize all of your RAM with Physical Address Extension, which, as far as I know, should be enabled by default if you have enough RAM to warrant its use.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Live System not found.
I am opting to use the netinstall method instead. I have a couple of 64-bit machines, and I prefer using 64-bit software whenever I can.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Proposal: PackageKit or Software Center
Awesome man! Is it fully working? If not i may be able to help but only in a few weeks. :(
