Re: [Trisquel-users] XFCE Trisquel
I had the same problem mentioned in this thread : I had xfce4 installed, but the default DM would not launch it, just pause for a second and then prompt me again for my login / password. Also the Window Managers list was populated with seemingly absent WMs, like Gnome/openbox (I'm using a fresh trisquel-mini). Magic Banana's post helped me to test that XFCE was indeed working. And Alizee's one allowed me to solve the problem altogether. Thanks!

Re: [Trisquel-users] The Latest Intel CPUs without DRM
Wow! Thanks dimqua! I had written to Intel to confirm this information before you posted this note, but I hadn't received a reply back by then. I got my information from Wikipedia, as well as looking at the Intel website. I should have spent more time on the Intel website! I appreciate the information!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Next Trisquel LTS
Unity 2D can be installed standalone and the user wouldn't be forced to have potentially non free video drivers. That is why the push for the trisquel-unity package would stick.to the 2D version only with the necessary theme tweaks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What would make you become an associate member?
I suppose you can avoid the transaction charges by working in bitcoins? I think the FSF accepts bitcoin donations. At some point, they have to be converted to cash; this is mysterious to me.

I don't have a good answer to this although if you absolutely can't use paypal we can forward donations (libre.thinkpenguin.com and use the about -> contact page) as long as you have a valid credit card that we can charge. Keep in mind this would reduce the funds received a little as it gets 'taxed' by corporations twice. Once we charge your card and once when it is forwarded to the Trisquel project. If it is your only option though I'd still encourage you to contact us. When I find the time to talk to Rubén maybe we can fix this some better way. Maybe someone can investigate http://pledgie.com/site/about and find out if it works well internationally, how Trisquel would get those funds, and what the costs are. It may be a good solution to the paypal concern. It takes time to implement these little features though. If you can look into it though and summarise it on the http://pledgie.com/site/about I think we could probably implement this fairly easy. I've been extremely busy the last few days. If it wasn't for the fact it is costly to add people to the payroll I'd have more time to do little things like this. I think we are getting to that point though I'll get another person to help with US shipping operations. It's also partly a time factor. I have to investigate the options. Just managing things is a full time job and something I don't mind doing- except it requires money as other people generally don't want to work for free. And those which do are inconsistent/unreliable (understandably so of course).
[Trisquel-users] Re : Installing 5.5 on Toshiba Notebook
I believe they were talking about "TXT". Not all CPU include it. Take a look at this page. If it is too technical and you are interested in the recent Ivy Bridge board, I listed here the processor models that do come with TXT and those that don't.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Open-pc.com - for hardware that runs on free software
I'm not sure what you meant by this although the Open-PC and Penguin Wee are/were identical hardware wise. The only difference is in the software/branding of the unit. The original Penguin Wee/OpenPC should run Trisquel great. If you ordered it with 1GB it might not be sufficient for the latest version. I'm guessing that is what your gripe is. Upgrading the ram would be a good idea. We usually recommend more ram to people unless they are trying to cut corners and also sticking with an older LTS release. I would not advise less than 2GB for the current version of Trisquel and even then 2GB only if one is going to stick with the 6 release once it comes out for the next 3 years. The new Penguin Wee / HTPC is nice. It supports HD video and is much faster. The original Penguin Wee though has some nice qualities about it too. Especially if you are just looking to use it for web browsing, email, word processing, etc. The new version is a super charged Penguin Wee and probably overkill for the majority. Most of the people buying them are not at all tech savvy. They are just looking for something simple to send emails, browse the web, and maybe do a little typing (think snail mail letters). The original also is a really great system for learning GNU/Linux because of the price point. It works perfectly without the need to deal with proprietary software thus allowing one to really get into the software.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Open-pc.com - for hardware that runs on free software
The OpenPC project was a failure. There were major issues that could have been resolved. The idea was to basically put out a free PC. We already had that. At least to the extent it ran free software (distribution like Trisquel). In fact it was more of a backward motion as it used OpenSuSE. OpenPC is really just a branded version of OpenSuSE with a few tweaks. It looked REALLY cool. BUT the problems were this: 1. Multiple announcements prior to the availability of the system(s). We weren't the only ones shipping an "OpenPC". It should have really been one system that had shipping from multiple continents. Then there were no announcements after it was released. It needed promotion that it never got. 2. It wasn't completely free (not from the free software perspective at least). The wording used to describe it was all wrong. "Open" is a bad word. I don't believe it actually contained non-free software as the OpenSuSE developer(s) are active in removing non-free firmware/drivers. However I think it's web site contains information on installing non-free software. That makes it a no-go in this community. 3. We already had a system with chipsets made it free software compatible (again, it's not free BIOS, X86 is never going to be 100% free even with a free BIOS) and was selling great. 4. There was an article written by someone who didn't get the facts. This was several months after the initial availability. They managed to find our web site and made up stuff for the article. Never were we contacted. They claimed for instance the US version of the OpenPC shipped with Ubuntu. It did not. Ubuntu is not free. The OpenPC version of OpenSuSE was at least not shipping non-free software for the most part (again- it isn't quite Trisquel free though). We did not ship Ubuntu with the OpenPC version which was linked from the OpenPC web site. There was an entirely different page for it. There still is. We did also ship a version with Ubuntu though. The system is still available with OpenPC. I would not recommend it. I'm doubtful the software is being maintained. It's a very old effort now and it's probably based on an unsupported version of OpenSuSE. It's not possible to find it our on web site directly. All in all we are basically doing what the OpenPC project attempted to accomplish. A PC built for free software users. Non-free software is a hindrance to free software users and that was what the project was trying to solve. The translation / English of those running it wasn't great. I never was really sure if they understood the problem(s) even though I attempted to explain it. It wasn't my place and the project was basically done when we got involved. We just gave them a new means to distribute a product in a region they otherwise could not. They already had completed development on it (software wise).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing 5.5 on Toshiba Notebook
Chris, I was chatting with somebody at #fsf, and they said to totally avoid Intel, due to their integrating DRM into their CPUs and other freedom hostile things... He said go with AMD and use Nouveau drivers for an nVidia car. His other option was not getting a new computer at all and donating the money to free software development instead! Ruling out both AMD and Intel would make it almost impossible to find a CPU maker!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Open-pc.com - for hardware that runs on free software
I'm pretty confident in saying this is wrong. The laptops are old and I'm positive I've looked. You can't even find them on the major auction site(s). You need a very specific version of the Lenovo model. It's also not compatible with free software for other reasons (graphics and wifi I believe). The machine RMS has is also not available any more. The new version is not free software friendly. It's got a non-free software dependent graphics chipset. As far as desktops go it's mostly boards that are no longer being manufactured so they are impossible to get (just about). You will pay a significant premium for them if you can get one (you probably can with a little bit of effort).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Silverlight \ Moonlight \ Plugin \ WORK?
I can't help although I'll say this. Silverlight and Moonlight are not something the free software community support. Moonlight was never terribly well supported and Silverlight has digital restrictions. Moonlight is now defunct I believe anyway. Silverlgiht never took off either. Microsoft has abandoned it. There are two or three major sites that use it. One being a sports site or two (NFL site - major thing in the USA; American Football) and Netflix.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel release numbering
Sticking with Ubuntu's numbering might imply to some people who don't know about Trisquel that it's another Ubuntu clone of sorts. Maybe the trade off is worth it. Maybe not. Trisquel is not just swapping out default programs. It's replacing core pieces that negatively impact users freedom.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel & Trusted Computing
You are looking at it from the wrong angle I think. While the libre-kernel should really have this disabled in the software too the hardware is what you should be concerned about. At least at the moment you can avoid the Intel CPUs with support for "Trusted Computing". We stopped shipping laptops with it months(?) ago. You have to check the processor on the Intel web site to find out if it has this featured. I forget what it is called exactly although you can spot it in the specs.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software and 3D Graphics: nVida, AMD/Radeon or Integrated Graphics?
I communicated a while back with various developers working on graphics drivers & distributions to the source for gaming/video testing and review. The conclusion of it all. The 9500 series is the way to go. Between stability, features, performance and price. I would not recommend it though over a new system with Intel graphics. The low end nVidia is comparable to the newer Intel graphics chipsets and in a number of areas better. Here is the graphics card we are shipping: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/geforce-9500gt-1gb-pci-express-20-video-card-gnulinux Note: 512MB is all you really need. For business reasons we are shipping the 1GB version (the price difference is minuscule to non-existent).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Next Trisquel LTS
Unity is not non-free. The problem is most users have NVidia/ATI graphics and the free drivers don't have any/good enough 3d acceleration for it. You should be able to run Unity with Intel graphics though and free drivers since they have 3d acceleration support. While I'm not saying MATE does not have an active development community I think Cinnamon is where Linux Mint is going. That was the impression I got from Clem (the lead developer of that project) when I spoke with him a short while back. I think Linux Mint has potential and while it isn't a free distribution today Clem doesn't seem to be hostile to freedom either. Lets keep working on Trisquel and one day Linux Mint will have a free version or being only free software. It's where I'd like to think GNU/Linux in general is going. We are certainly going to push it wherever feasible (mostly on the back end, free drivers, free firmware, OGG Theora based video streaming services, etc).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing 5.5 on Toshiba Notebook
Free software users should avoid AMD. The company has not released the required specifications/code for a free version. It's released partial code that wraps around non-free code. It's not a solution. It is a PR stunt. Intel Graphics are the answer. They come very close to NVidia on the low end and are actually better in a number of areas.
