Re: [Trisquel-users] Playing video freezes my netbook!
The first 2 seem interesting. Check their values as you change brightness. They probably change between 0 and 255. You can try editing those files as super user. (Weird thing might happen if you should input a value outside of the range.)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Nonfree Javascript
+1 Facebook and Twitter are relics of my pre-free-software social networks. After discovering that they have some pretty dubious Javascript running on every page, I've enabled NoScript and that forces them to serve me JS-free pages, which are actually a bit cleaner and easier to use. Thanks for the Twitter link. As far as I knew I couldn't get to the JS-free Twitter site without blocking JavaScript outright: their mobile page uses some JS. I think Facebook does, too.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Playing video freezes my netbook!
The first one for the NVIDIA starts at 0 at the lowest backlight level and increments by 2 with each press of the brightness-up key. The highest it goes is 10.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Playing video freezes my netbook!
Look at the first 2 for intel.

Sorry for the extra / on that first link, but everyone should be creative with their 404 redirects. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Research and Reference Codes plus an example of good presentation
Just for curiosity: And what is the benefit over youtube-dl ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Research and Reference Codes plus an example of good presentation
Also the script does not support direct download of Youtube playlists and I can not find anything mentioned about channels. I do not want to sound disruptive but I fail to see true benefits in using this script. Python is as transparent as Perl and most GNU / Linux today have both interpreters installed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] XFCE
Save the script. Open terminal window and go to the directory you saved the script in with the cd command. You can run it with sh command: sh script_name For general purposes it is better to make the script executable: chmod +x script_name And then run it with: ./script_name
[Trisquel-users] Trouble testing Trisquel in VirtualBox
Greetings I'm a new GNU/Linux user who, for the past few days, has been testing several different distro's in VirtualBox. One of these is Trisquel, but I have unfortunately been unable to get this one working. This is the exact error message: http://i.imgur.com/JSspd6P.jpg I am using standard VM settings, with the exception of larger video memory (128MB). Looking around, I was unable to find someone with the same error. The hard drive image I'm using is a pristine .vdi file. I am using 64-bit Trisquel Mini. Any settings or information you should require I can provide if asked.
[Trisquel-users] how to change locale in trisquel-mini 6.0?
Guys, does someone know how to have two different variables in my locale in different languages? I need LC_MONETARY=en_IE.UTF8 and LANG=it_IT.UTF8. I have tried: sudo su cat /etc/environment LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF8 LC_COLLATE=en_IE.UTF8 LC_TIME=en_IE.UTF8 LC_NUMERIC=en_IE.UTF8 LC_MONETARY=en_IE.UTF8 LC_MESSAGES=en_IE.UTF8 LC_PAPER=en_IE.UTF8 LC_NAME=en_IE.UTF8 LC_ADDRESS=en_IE.UTF8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_IE.UTF8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IE.UTF8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_IE.UTF8 cat /etc/default LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF8 LC_COLLATE=en_IE.UTF8 LC_TIME=en_IE.UTF8 LC_NUMERIC=en_IE.UTF8 LC_MONETARY=en_IE.UTF8 LC_MESSAGES=en_IE.UTF8 LC_PAPER=en_IE.UTF8 LC_NAME=en_IE.UTF8 LC_ADDRESS=en_IE.UTF8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_IE.UTF8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IE.UTF8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_IE.UTF8 Then I ran locale-gen --purge update-locale But I still get all the variables in it_IT.UTF8
Re: [Trisquel-users] how to change locale in trisquel-mini 6.0?
Oh, I also tried gnome-language-selector (with and without system-wide), but every time I restarted, I got the same result.
Re: [Trisquel-users] XFCE
Seems to have gotten it. Thank you very much!

Use UTF-8 instead of UTF8.
[Trisquel-users] Search engines like Blekko miss the point
For some reason I saw a link for Blekko, a search engine that I remember trying back in the day so I did some research into it. Its another one of those San Francisco startups that is trying to compete in the search engine field against Google and in my opinion, is doing it all wrong. This is from their About page: Blekko's proprietary technology operates on a unique system that intersects our own original search index, Dynamic Inference Graph (DIG) algorithm, and editorial evaluation. Using the text from the Web stored in our datacenter, we distill the text and links down to a small semantic database, and use that database to map queries to a large list of editorially-crafted slashtag filters. I often disagree with the push for Affero GPL licenses, but I really think that a search engine licensed under the AGPLv3 would really benefit the users. There's so many of these niche search engines trying to fight against Google (which has like 90% of the market) and they all seem to use outdated business models by going after angel investors, employing a lot of people in an expensive office, and keeping their code proprietary. I'm also not talking about a YaCy style search engine either but something simple like what Startpage and DuckDuckGo are doing. Both of those keep their source code locked up and while they are private in comparison to Google, I bet many free software advocates express caution on what is really going on behind the scenes. If the code is open and users can contribute to make a search engine for the people, what is the harm in that? The search engine could still make money by running ads and if someone wants to fork the code, improve upon it, and throw it up on another domain, then go for it. Competition encourages growth.

Re: [Trisquel-users] how to change locale in trisquel-mini 6.0?
Thanks! I did: sudo su sed -i 's#UTF8#UTF-8#g' /etc/environment sed -i 's#UTF8#UTF-8#g' /etc/default/locale locale-gen --purge update-locale locale I got a warning (I think that I also missed to post the last line in /etc/default/locale in the first message): *** update-locale: Warning: LANGUAGE (it_IT:en_GB:en) is not compatible with LC_MESSAGES (en_IE.UTF-8). Disabling it. and it works as root, but when I go to my own account and type locale, I keep getting all variables as it_IT.UTF-8. I know that I had fixed this in my previous installation of Trisquel, but I can't remember how I did it! I am using LXDM, if that is useful information.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Playing video freezes my netbook!
The second file for the NVIDIA gpu seemed to stay at 255 no matter what the current brightness level was . The first file for the Intel IGD stays at 250 no matter the brightness level. The second Intel number increments from 0 to 10 going by 2 for every press of the brightness key. The max it goes to is 10.
[Trisquel-users] A/V lag
When I view a video in most any application (totem, parole, mplayer, vlc, minitube), the video and audio are terribly out of sync. The video generally will start to stutter as well. I've noticed that zsnes suffers from the same issues. Could this be indicative of hardware issues or is there something I can tweak in software to handle this? I'm running Trisquel on an Eee PC (X101CH).
[Trisquel-users] Can't get Qualcomm Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC to work
Hi. I apologize for the length of this post. I have been trying to figure out why my wifi card will not work (it apparently should, and it almost does). Hopefully someone may know whether something is simply misconfigured or maybe knows for a fact that there are issues that cannot be addressed at this time given the age of my computer and wifi card. I have an IBM ThinkPad x60s with the internal Lenovo Atheros card listed below. Qualcomm Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC IBM ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter (AR5BXB6) I also am using (hopefully temporarily) an Etekcity USB wifi which uses RTL8187. This wifi works just fine. A little slow at times but it works. No issues at all but I'd rather use my internal card if possible as there is nothing to attach and carry around and so on. The Etekcity uses a cord and antenna, etc. http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Wireless-Computer-Network-RTL8187L/dp/B009SQ5YL2/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronicsie=UTF8qid=1378144468sr=1-3keywords=etekcity At times I have included some information below from the Etekcity USB output so as to compare it with the internal Atheros card. My router is a dd-wrt router purchased from ThinkPenguin which I've had for a few months and it seems to work just fine. Many other devices, computers, phones, etc. connect without issue. In a nutshell, I've found the Atheros card to be ok in my computer, no problems there apparently, the drivers are there, it connects, sort of, to my wireless router, sees SSIDs, however there is something about DHCP that is not quite right. I tried installing Trisquel 6 using text-based install and the Atheros card was found and tried to connect but failed with a message that there was no DHCP or a strange version of DHCP or something like that. I gave up and installed using the Etekcity USB connection which is probably why that became wlan0. After Trisquel was installed I tried Network Manager every which way, then removed it and installed wicd. When wicd was installed, and selecting none in one of the preferences (don't remember which one, it was at the top), a connection was established between the Atheros card and my router and showed in the menu bar, but a web page would not load. I could ping at the terminal but there was a 34% packet loss when usually I have none. Something wasn't right. Giving up on wicd, I tried using wpa_supplicant directly and with its GUI. I couldn't get it set up as more files were needed to be configured and I was burned out. This is all new to me. A lot to learn. I removed wicd and reinstalled Network Manager. (I also briefly tried out an old tutorial that uses all command lines to connect and disconnect, but many of the commands no longer worked apparently.) Once installed, Network Manager needed to be stopped in order to run wpa_supplicant by itself. Apparently you can use wpa_supplicant by itself but Network Manager must be stopped and other settings/files must be available to wpa_supplicant for it to work. I never got that far with the extra config files. It seems there is a conflict in Network Manager, or between it and other programs it relies on, but only with certain devices of course, like my internal card; my usb wifi works fine. So does an ethernet cable. Not sure of the extent of the mess I made in changing files, bumbling around, and adding and removing programs, I re-installed Trisquel fresh. Then added the Libre kernel shown a few lines down from here. I haven't altered much since then. Am starting over so to speak. Output follows below along with my notes when I had something to add... === NOTE: It doesn't seem to matter whether I use the standard Trisquel kernel or the Libre one below, same results with both *** === gnu@t6:~$ uname -a Linux t6 3.4.60-gnu1 #1 SMP Fri Aug 30 04:28:46 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux === gnu@t6:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Trisquel DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.0 DISTRIB_CODENAME=toutatis DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Trisquel 6.0 gnu@t6:~$ === gnu@t6:~$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller [8086:109a] Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad X60s [17aa:207e] Kernel driver in use: e1000e -- 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Qualcomm Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC [168c:1014] (rev 01) Subsystem: IBM ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter (AR5BXB6) [1014:058a] Kernel driver in use: ath5k === gnu@t6:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:d3:2b:3e:XX UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:16 Memory:ee00-ee02 loLink encap:Local
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't get Qualcomm Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC to work
Out of curiosity are other devices connected to the WiFi base station when this is happening? I'd like to know what happens if there are no other devices connected (reboot the router for good measure as well) and then try with only the laptop using the base station. Also, what is the make model of this base station and does it have the latest firmware revision?
Re: [Trisquel-users] A/V lag
It's a good indicator that your computer isn't able to process this in real time. That could be due to a lack of hardware accelerated graphics, meaning the heavy lifting is pushed onto the CPU which can't keep up. Try other formats. Try low-res versions. I've had some success with resizing the video in VLC (using the Zoom function) to Half or Quarter size.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't get Qualcomm Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC to work
Thanks, I hadn't thought of that! There are all sorts of things attached to the router. Funny though why the other devices, even on the x60s work via that router without incident. I will clean it out and see. The router is a TP-Link TL-WR741ND v4 with the most recent firmware that will work with it (as of a couple of months ago.) DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/20/12) std (SVN revision 19519) There are newer versions but not recommended for this router...at least as of a couple of months ago. Tried your idea. Unplugged everything except the cable modem and rebooted. Didn't make any difference, dmesg had the same deauthentication by local choice reason 3. Did anything else look or seem strange?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't get Qualcomm Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC to work
Unplugged everything I was wondering more about other devices connected via WiFi. After unplugging physical connections was anything connected via WiFi? I had similiar problem with a router in which mine would only work if it was the only device connected to the WiFi. Trying a newer kernel can't hurt. Version 3.11 will be in my repository soon-ish which would be good to try.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't get Qualcomm Atheros AR5212 802.11abg NIC to work
The older Atheros G wireless mini pcie chipsets don't work terribly well... They should sort of work from my experience although there are things which won't work well or at all like power management, etc. That said I'm not sure this is the problem your having. Did you swap the wireless card out for another or was this the original? Even the older IBM laptops had digital restrictions so you might not be able to swap it for another (easily or possibly at all). If you unlocked the BIOS and you can install another wireless card I'd suggest trying an 802.11N Atheros card. We actually have them even in the old mini PCI card format (gasp! I know) in addition to the newer Mini PCIe and half height cards.
