Re: [Trisquel-users] taskbar clears after updating 6.0
my panel lost all manually icons when i added gnome-shell gnome-seesion to Trisquel 6.0 pre-release. the default icons are still there, so its kind of a revert to default here.
Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
Horgeon, I installed scriptish as I see no other option on that page. I do not have those options within the player even after the two installs. No idea what's wrong.
Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
I just noticed that when you open the system settings, there is no way to close it! What??
Re: [Trisquel-users] Login issue with Toutatis?
Do you have a radeon gpu? lspci|grep VGA
Re: [Trisquel-users] Login issue with Toutatis?
No, my gpu is a nvidia gt430. Had no luck with Chris's or Horgeon's suggestions either. I could still not login to a live session nor login to an installed session - entering my password just returns me back to the login screen.
Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
Scriptish isn't needed. The script works with either Greasemonkey or Scriptish. Once you have Greasemonkey installed (you need to restart the browser for it to take effect), you can install the script in https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/87011 by clicking Install in the top-right corner. I don't know if it's any different for Scriptish, because I use Greasemonkey, but I assume it's the same.
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
Mint has prided itself on taking the Ubuntu refugees by rejecting Unity in favor of MATE/Cinnamon and recently saying they are staying with X around the Mir announcement. Mint 9 was my first time trying out GNU/Linux and it had its benefits at the time. I never did like their custom update manager as it would exclude kernel updates and wasn't built to allow distribution updates. They said it was for safety, but the Ubuntu update manager was better implemented.
Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
Did you get that weird thing where the title bar disappears? That's happened to me a couple of times. I have no idea why. In any case, it's pretty rare, so it's more weird than problematic.
Re: [Trisquel-users] taskbar clears after updating 6.0
Did you tell the file manager to show hidden folders, as the name implies, hidden folders are hidden by default. :) To show them, you can go to View-Show Hidden Files or press Ctrl+H
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
I wouldn't say the Mint developers pride themselves in people switching from Ubuntu to Mint, at least not openly. Some people made posts around the lines of Ubuntu sucks, I switched to Mint and Clem came out in defense of Ubuntu, asserting that they did not oppose Ubuntu (something about their only possible enemy being Microsoft).
Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
Close system settings with 'alt+f4', like any other application window.
Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
See this post from the forum. Or you can disable Gnash in Abrowser Addons(Ctrl+Shift+A). After click in Plugins at left side. Disable Shockwave Flash (this is the gnash-plugin not flash).
[Trisquel-users] When and where can we submit packages to the new community backports?
In the press release for 6, Ruben mentioned a community-backports repo where we can submit more up to date packages. How is the status for this? Will we be able to submit a list of packages anywhere that will be reviewed and eventually included? Will they have to be built from source each time or can they be included from launchpad PPAs?
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
They do want users to move from Ubuntu to Mint because that is potential revenue for them. More users that donate or use their web browser with their affiliate search engines is more money. Mint gaining popularity also increases the chances of corporate sponsors joining them.
Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
The problem with window probably is Compiz. You can change for Metacity (default in GNOME Fallback) in the System Settings or install gnome-shell and use mutter instead. For install KDE version from Trisquel is very simple: In Terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T): sudo apt-get install triskel After you log out and choose KDE in login screen (GDM or KDM).

Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
What is the difference between gnome-session and gnome-shell?
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
Yeah this is probably the best approach, I think. Use LTS for now, but keep an eye on Canonical and if they get too out-of-hand over the next few years, switch to Debian + backports.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Login issue with Toutatis?
I had this issue in a installed system when trying to use the nodev,noexec,nosuid mount options in many partitions; I figured out using nosuid for / and /usr prevents login.

Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
I have talked to Clem personally about various financial aspects a number of time and he has always been very adamant about keeping a distance from corporate interests. Yes- they want to see the user base grow. Everybody wants to see that. Unfortunately reporters, bloggers, and people like yourself make up sensationalist statements like this. Nothing the project has done backs up your assumptions. If there going to take market share they want to take it from Microsoft/Apple. Ubuntu is more like icing on the cake. The users of Ubuntu are the ones doing the expressing. Reporters and others are making statements that are in this case largely true about people moving to Linux Mint from Ubuntu. It has mainly been the result of Unity. Though there have been other issues which are also involved.

Re: [Trisquel-users] When and where can we submit packages to the new community backports?
I think the idea was that *some* people will be given access to a repository. It isn't going to be a free for all. That would be a security nightmare.
Re: [Trisquel-users] YouTube Large Screen Choppy and slow...
He's actually a bit off; you need both. gnome-session gives the regular GNOME session as a choice (which gives you access to GNOME Shell). gnome-shell gives you GNOME Shell itself. I don't know if they fixed the problem where they collided by default, but if not, you can fix that by using this PPA: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/gnome_3

[Trisquel-users] How to install sugar-desktop on Trisquel_6.0
I just installed sugar 0.94.1 on a Trisquel 6.0 Virtual Box install [1] Tom Gilliard satellit on IRC [1]http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Trisquel#Trisquel_6.0
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
Yes- it has been for years. The question is more along the lines of how well does distrowatch accurately reflect the overall distribution spectrum. It has been stated many of times by many of people the methods uses are less than stellar.
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
I think Ubuntu's drop in popularity has something to do with the fact that a hundred other distributions are now pretty good for novice-level daily desktop use ... Ubuntu no longer particularly stands out in that department, even if it was a global leader a few years ago (try Ubuntu first was very sound advice). In a few years, Debian's userfriendliness might be where Ubuntu's is now. The days of GNU/Linux being a luxury of the super computer-literate are long past. Most people who use Ubuntu are probably not aware that there is any skirmish around something called Mir vs something called Wayland. That's an opinionated fringe.
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
I'd be curious how much of that was actually Shuttleworth / Canonical's move and how much of that was Valve. Canonical has been positioning itself it seems to take on these kinds of 'jobs'. Given the amounts they are charging it actually seems like the only logical market. It has the engineering expertise that a company like Valve would need to jump into the gaming device arena. We already know Valve is putting out such a device and Ubuntu has the user base to test with. Combine the two and it seems like a good fit.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Login issue with Toutatis?
Maybe it's a keyboard problem? Have you tried some braindead password with only letters and numbers? Can you login via VT? (Ctrl+Alt+F1) If yes, you can change the password there with the passwd command.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Login issue with Toutatis?
Actually I *can* login via console. A more experienced linux user probably would have realised this straight away, but unfortunately my knowledge/skills are strictly limited and so I only discovered this a couple of hours ago. Once I had made this discovery, I also found that by switching display manager and installing xfce4 I can now login to an xfce session with the password that I set during install. In a way I am happy with this because xfce is my desktop of choice, but I am still none the wiser as to what the original problem is with the gnome session. Hopefully my experiences will help to troubleshoot the problem? Thanks again to all who have tried to help me and my apologies for not giving you quite the full picture.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 6 Officially Out; yes- really this time!
Here we go: http://mediafire.com/?fdxpscxxks3s71x It took a little more time than I thought, but it's ready now. This is just a concept driver, but it should work out-of-the-box, no restart required. Just plug in the dongle, install the driver (see README for details), and wait a few seconds until the driver gets initialized. Currently, I does not own this device, but it's possible that I'll have one shortly. Until then, if you encounter any issue, let me know so I can fix it. P.S.: A funny photo I took yesterday when building the driver on the new Trisquel 6.0 release .
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
Isn't corporate sponsorship the end goal for a lot of projects? Mozilla's sugar daddy is Google. The Python foundation has sponsorship from Google, Lucasfilm, and even Microsoft. The Linux foundation, for which you all rely on the kernel so much, has the big guns like IBM, Intel, Oracle, Samsung, AMD, Google, Panasonic, and Adobe to name a few.
Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.
A lot? I suppose ... Definitely not all. http://www.debian.org/social_contract As for your kernel example, I'd say: you can have (corporate) money flowing around you in a number of different ways without profit being your End Goal. Conversely, you can have people dressed up like noble monks who turn out to really be (end goal) about the cash. (Walk through downtown Sedona or Santa Fe!) If someone claims to be about selflessness and freedom, I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, until they prove themselves otherwise. But once they do, I'll judge them more harshly than I would someone who starts out an unabashed whore. Because hypocrisy hurts the commons by breaking people's impulse to trust.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Difficulty compiling from source
The command 'apt-offline-gui' should be recognized (it is /usr/bin that belongs to your PATH variable) although it may not run if you do not use 'sudo' or 'gksu' before it (to get administrator's privileges). Are you sure the packages have been installed? For instance have you asked for the installation of other packages that have then worked flawlessly? Can you check whether /usr/bin/apt-offline-gui is in your system?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 6 KDE
No. That would be taking it too far. I'm just saying that the distribution shouldn't be directionless. If the objective is a usable free distribution for the masses (which I think is a fair description) having multiple desktop environments needs to take a backseat to more pressing issues. Obviously if it is something your content on working on alone or with others there isn't any harm in doing so. It just shouldn't interfere with the direction or goals of the project.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 6 KDE
I for one think it's OK that you're doing this. That's what Free Software is about. Just don't expect it to be adopted as an official spin-off. There's always a thousand and one bugs that come up even when you think you're done.

A decent theme for Trisquel on KDE would be a good start. You could make that available, and move on from there...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Accessibility of Trisquel 6 Live Images?
There always seem to be major oversights like this with the Mini edition. Ruben clearly doesn't have enough time to devote to it to make it adhere to the same standards as Trisquel standard. I feel like, at the same time he releases the standard edition, he should announce an official Release Candidate of Mini and invite people to play with it. Give that a few weeks, iron out the kinks, and then release that. It's not as good for PR as releasing it all at the same time, but it would lead to a better Mini edition.
Re: [Trisquel-users] taskbar clears after updating 6.0
Thanks Starchild! You made that very easy to repair!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Accessibility of Trisquel 6 Live Images?
:) I think things are spread too thin as it is still. This move to LTS only wasn't taken lightly. The development should focus on doing one thing right. I'm using a desktop environment I can't stand right now. However it is better for it to work than be something I prefer that doesn't.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Accessibility of Trisquel 6 Live Images?
Would you drop Mini if you were Ruben? :) I do feel like Mini, and lightweight distributions in general, are getting a bit less relevant than 2010 when Mini debuted. The generation of computers that required Mini and couldn't run the standard edition is fast becoming extinct. A new netbook should be able to run Trisquel standard edition just fine ... on that hardware, M$'s Restricted Boot BS is more of a barrier than RAM limits or something. And an old-school desktop metaphor just plain doesn't cut it on a tablet in the first place. That's a non-starter. Mini is still important in poorly developed nations where computer hardware isn't up to the par of the first world. But what are the numbers, really? Is our adoption rate in such places a mere flash in the pan? P.S.: It's nice to have a real (Free Software based) business owner and entrepreneur in these discussions. Too many hobby hackers in a project mean that things can quickly lose contact with reality. ;)
