[Trisquel-users] How can I remove the message "waiting for network configuration" ...
Hi, How can I remove the message "waiting for network configuration" on starting? Because when I have no connection (neither wifi nor ethernet), I have to wait one minute more.

No, if you have a badass CPU. But it is significantly hotter and thus very soon louder.
Re: [Trisquel-users] New Mac Workstations - I wish they were free software friendly
Please don't link to proprietary software. Apple is a control freak. It practices censorship by excluding software from its crap store. Most if not all their devices come with digital handcuffs, which you're not allowed to break, digital restrictions management. (drm) It wields software patents against other smaller companies. It's not a company you should support.
Re: [Trisquel-users] New Mac Workstations - I wish they were free software friendly
That Mac looks pretty badass in addition to being powerful. Of course, its really really expensive.

[Trisquel-users] New Mac Workstations - I wish they were free software friendly
I don't know how many of you saw the new Mac Workstations but I have to say, they are genius in design. You'll have to look at them yourself to really appreciate what they've done because the way that they've fit their components into the small, and strangely shaped case is amazing. Not only that but it runs quiet, is very powerful and has a very awesome method of cooling. I only wish that Apple could build hardware that was Free Software friendly. This does leave a nice little gap for Free Software oriented hardware sellers though ;-). I do realize the cost of developing something like this and putting it into market would be very very high, but wouldn't it be awesome if something so innovative as this were available from a company like ThinkPenguin? Okay, now that I've baited Chris with this I'm going to end my post. I know how far fetched it is to think that a very small company could successfully put something like this in the marketplace but I like to think that it is possible.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Boot Trisquel on computers without PAE
I tried an upgrade, the first time, the update manager said that the upgrade failed, so it reverted the system state. I tried the dist-upgrade again later, and it claimed that it was up to date, though it was obviously still Trisquel 4.1
Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
I can't remeber the site(s) that had the information. I know I read it, and it makes sense to me. Yea it is like the hypothetical with the court you cited, I just cannot remember the website. I am not going to click those links. Clicking those links won't get a nice sweet young girl married to me, and won't stop cultures that marry young girls from being bombed by the good people in the air-force and drone program of the United States of America. As for prison for 50 years: males are sent to prison for 50, 100 years for looking at pictures of girls. Same for marrying girls. Or they get their houses bombed if they happen to be in a country that cannot stand up the the USA and friends.
Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
"As many of you have read, KVM Remote Control is a new feature in vPro that allows a technician to remotely support platforms by gaining access to the keyboard, video and mouse of the target PC. This is a similar capability exiting in many IT products today, the difference is KVM operates no matter the state of your system. I.e. the OS can be completely dead and a technician can use vPro to remote in, diagnose and fix issues." The computer is not a computer anymore, it is something running above the "true" system in control. "The benefits of KVM are clear," I want to cut off the hands of this intel engineer just for typing that. He give an air of superiority, knowing better than us little pesants. " however many fear what happens if the remote capability gets into the wrong hands. Clearly the main concern is if an attacker could remotely hack a vPro system, then eavesdrop on everything typed, viewed, etc." The wrong hands like the good-people, law enforcement, people that don't want men marrying little girls. Intel would say those are always the RIGHT hands, so will have access. The intel engineers think we are stupid and will accept their claims that this backdoor they have added to the lowest levels it "secure". It's as secure as a cellphone: not secure against the fucking government and their police apparatus that keeps us from everything naturally good or enjoyable. FUCK them. I hope they are killed. It would be better to live in the dirt with a little girl than in the techno-police state without. I hope their civilization is destroyed some how. They ban everything good and control us.

Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
I asked you politely to provide a citation. You instead spouted out three comments of mockery, hatred and further claims. I am willing to believe that this is true, if only it can be verified. Not further claims, verified by reliable sources. For that reason we're all waiting for kernelKurtz to report back on his efforts to disable it, and hopefully to re-enable a disabled version of it remotely. I am taking my information from: http://communities.intel.com/community/vproexpert/blog/2010/02/04/intel-vpro-technology-privacy-and-security I've actually been meaning to amend the Wikipedia article for some time. "I will not give a citation nor a video. If you don't want to believe it, don't." This is equivalent to me saying in a courtroom as my entire case, "Your honour, my client is not guilty and I have evidence to prove it, only I cannot remember where I left it and refuse to show it. If you don't want to believe it, don't." I would have no case. Neither do you, without actually showing your evidence. I do not want to live with hardware management in my devices. That is why I am trying to discuss whether the claims about vPro are anything beyond claims. I notice you have time to search Google for the two links you provided, but not for the one that would prove your point once and for all. That seems suspicious to me. By the way, I would advise you not to click here for fear of going to prison for fifty years. Or here. And definitely not here.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Fear and Uncertainty - Trisquel 7.0
"I'm guessing X11 will still be packaged. Otherwise Kubuntu et al. are in a lot of trouble." I agree with Andrew. I think x11 will still be packaged and available. Also since we do not use Unity anyway Reuben is used to putting in a significant amount of work into the UI.

You're not stupid, the system is. Not exactly intuitive. Glad it's sorted.
Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
I read it recently, a few days ago. It could be reenabed remotely is what was written. I don't remeber where, so you can just assume I'm wrong, since you are a law-abiding good person you have nothing to fear.

Wayland is not dormant. There is a dozen of developers working on it on a daily basis (the logs I point to only deal with a part of the Wayland project: the compositor).

Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
"I live in Canada. I don't have to worry about the US government." Oh well fsck you very much then. You don't care about US pesants? Well then you are US people's enemy and they should go against you, Armworm. Bet you're fine with little afghan girls and boys being burned alive by american firebombing too, since you are Canadian and not afghan so you don't have to worry... Hope it happens to you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
Don't believe me if you don't want to. If you think hardware remote management is something you can live with, in all your devices, well then I would rather never talk to you again: obviously you are a good-person with nothing to hide, you obey the government laws and follow their religion/belief system. I do not like people who follow the religion of the USA/West so I don't care if they abuse you: you subscribe to the belief system they taught you. Don't believe me if you don't want to. I will not give a citation nor a video. If you don't want to believe it, don't. "but Intel seems genuinely concerned about privacy and probably would not allow it." Yes your government/corporate masters who wont let you have any natural pleasures in life (young girl brides, drugs) and put millions of you in prison really care about you and "won't allow it". You deserve what you get if you believe that. What company was it that put a serial number in all P3 chips that was to be sent with IP packets originally? The people that care about peon-male privacy? When there are software VNC clients and a company can give you a company laptop to their specs... why do ALL laptops need to have a hardware backdoor in them that can read ram and upload it over the 3g network, allow remote VLC in hardware showing the contents of your screen, so on and so forth? Do any of us run 3g networks? No we do not. The government and it's regulated phone industry does however. Yea but you believe whatever you want peon, good boy, law-abider.
Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
I don't remember where I read it, but it's there. Why does vPro need to read your ram? Think about that. This is computing for the masses/the asses/ the peons. It can always be re-enabled remotely. The Intel Insider is embedded in the processor. Yes you can "turn it off" but the people in the government and the phone company can always turn it back on again. There will always be misdirection about the full capabilities, look at this NSA scandal. Remeber, one wrong picture on your PC and you go to prison for 10, 15, 50 years. Smiling girl fully clothed, if you're a male and you like girls that can put you away forever in this feminist/modern surveillance state. Things that come up on google for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_vPro#Security_and_privacy_concerns Security and privacy concerns There are still many potential security concerns for PCs with vPro. There is apparently no way to disable vPro on a PC and most users cannot detect outside access to their PC via the vPro hardware-based technology.[22] Moreover, Sandy Bridge and most likely future chips will have, "...the ability to remotely kill and restore a lost or stolen PC via 3G."[23] Another take on the technology: http://theunhivedmind.com/wordpress2/?p=5266

[Trisquel-users] Q: Trisquel 6 - How to move menu bar to upper screen border ?
Hi there, I am afraid that this is a pretty dumb question but here it goes: Yesterday I updated the PC of my daughter from Trisquel 5.5 to 6.0. Everything worked fine so far but after the update the menu bar was on the lower part of the screen again. Unfortunately I do not remember how to move the bar to the upper part of the screen. Trying some left mouse clicks on the free areas of the menu bar did not reveal any configuration for the taskbar. What am I missing ? Thanks, Holger
Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
I'd like a citation for this. If vPro could be re-enabled remotely that would swear me off it, but Intel seems genuinely concerned about privacy and probably would not allow it. Can you provide a video of vPro being re-enabled even when it is disabled?

Re: [Trisquel-users] GIMP crashes while saving
From your console output, it may be a plug-in causing problems. Have you added any plug-ins to gimp? You could try the following commands too. This will rename your gimp settings directory so that the next time you run gimp it will recreate the directory with all vanilla settings just like as if it was a new distro install. % cd % mv .gimp-2.6 .gimp-2.6_orig % gimp -c --verbose Then try to save a .png to revert back to your original settings, use this line % cd ; mv .gimp-2.6 .gimp-2.6_vanil ; mv .gimp-2.6_orig .gimp-2.6 Just to confirm, are you running gimp from the Trisquel repository? ( 2.6.12-1ubuntu1.2 ) Can you run % dpkg -l | grep gimp and paste the versions of installed packages.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Fear and Uncertainty - Trisquel 7.0
If MIR is free and works with GNOME, then it's worth considering for Trisquel. We could potentially use Mir with GNOME3 shell and software rendering as the default setup, with the option to install free graphics drivers where they exist.
Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
Will penguin computing be coming out with full keyboard models, 17(.5?) inch screens at some point? Amd runs very hot, which is a shame, makes intel the only game in town for laptop. Can you contact RMS about vPro please. Since you're in the trisquel project which is close to the FSF. I remember when the pentium 3 thing happened there were protests, boycotts, and they backed down. Now they'll claim (like their shills on IRC) that you can just turn it off "hehehhe it was easy to turn off for me", but when you tell them it can be turned on remotely the Intel shills just ignore you. Kinda like how some random people are calling Snowden a traitor on every website now.
Re: [Trisquel-users] vPro
Can you alert RMS. And give the details, please?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Hardware support on Zenbook U31A
Most Intel based devices do not support coreboot, And Intel is the only company that makes chips with 3d acceleration support for free software. The Chromebook Pixel has both, but the coreboot here is not fully free. It comes with a nonfree GNU/Linux distro.
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Hardware support on Zenbook U31A
Thank you both for your elaborate answers! @megurineturilli I was quite shocked to read about the potential of Intel vPro and TXT nightmares on the ThinkPenguin website. That's a big one! However, their hardware is not as premium as I want it to be. Luckily, the current Zenbook processors (i7-3517U, i5-3317) don't have those two features. The Zenbook has long battery life, is compact but sturdy and has a high-res display while maintaining a small form factor. It's unlikely that I will consider a different non-apple ultrabook. @Chris For my case, I'll be preparing a Trisquel Live USB using the same instructions as on the Ubuntu website. Just in case, I'll also prepare a second Live USB for Ubuntu 12.04 and use the "Free Software only" option. Since I'm aware of the problems with Linux and graphic chipsets, I only ever considered an ultrabook with integrated graphics. You sound like there will be Wi-Fi issues? For best battery life, I would prefer to use the integrated wifi. However, I found that the Zenbook family uses Atheros wifi chips (e.g. AR9485). Thinkpenguin also uses Atheros chips for their notebook, but I don't know what "freedom compatible" means in this case. As if there were some Atheros chips that are not freedom compatible? Thank you both for the help so far, I hope to hear more from you :-) Matt
Re: [Trisquel-users] My ISO CD Won't Load
If the md5 hash doesn't match when you do md5sum file.iso the md5 file than it means that download is corrupt. You could try downloading it again. It might be that you have an unreliable internet connection and it may not be easy or possible to get a reliable connection You could try restarting the modem/router/computer and downloading it again. You might also want to try a different mirror. Sometimes ISO images do get corrupted on the mirrors unfortunately.
Re: [Trisquel-users] My ISO CD Won't Load
>md5sum -/Desktop/trisquel_6.0_i6... That's wrong. You substituted the tilde (~) with a dash (-).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is Wine?
7-zip uses proprietary software for RAR files, so that's not the best choice from a freedom perspective. Better to use free software made from reverse-engineering. There are programs like that in the repo.
