[Trisquel-users] Wireless G USB Adapter arrived today!
I ordered a Penguin Wireless G USB Adapter for GNU / Linux on Oct 22 from https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-g-usb-adapter And it arrived today. It works out of box immediately. There is only free software and free data in my laptop hard disk. I had to use Ethernet cable to use internet. Now it is much better to have wireless connection! I'd like to share the joy with you!
[Trisquel-users] Where is the Abrowser's bookmarks file?
Any one knows where the Abrowser's bookmarks file is? I'd like to use command line to backup and restore the bookmarks. So I need to know which file contains the bookmarks. Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is the Abrowser's bookmarks file?
I believe the file is ~/.mozilla/abrowser/YOUR-PROFILE/bookmarks.html I suggest you test it by making a new profile (close all abrowser windows and then abrowser -p) then again close all abrowser windows and copy that file from old to the new profile and then go see if that did it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is the Abrowser's bookmarks file?
It seems that it's not easy to use command line to backup bookmarks. Thank you anyway!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel hangs and theming Q!
There are also newer X packages available, backported from Ubuntu qq and rr. (Trisquel is based on pp) You'll find the package names contain words quantal or raring. E.g. xserver-xorg-video-vesa-lts-raring Those can be tricky to install because the process can leave you without X at all. Should that happen e.g. installing one of the Desktop Environments (gnome,kde,xfce,lxde) should fix it if you can't figure out a more subtle way of doing it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is the Abrowser's bookmarks file?
I think bookmarks.html doesn't keep important for my uses data like
tags. It also uses an HTML syntax specific for this use.
~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE/places.sqlite keeps bookmarks and history
with all their data. ("PROFILE" is a random-looking name, usually with
.default.) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/The_Places_database
documents what it has, it's easy to get some data using SQLite if you
know SQL.
I have a big recfile (https://gnu.org/software/recutils/) with my
bookmarks exported from various browsers (via an ugly script
http://hg.mtjm.eu/forget-scripts/file/tip/forget-import-places.py),
stored in a Mercurial repository. I don't keep the bookmarks in the
browser after an export: it's slower and less convenient than browsing
(without rec-mode yet) the bookmarks recfile in Emacs.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Some questions about TAILS and virtual operating systems
>Unfortunately Tails is not fully free software. I asked on the IRC, and later read on the forums that Tails contains proprietary firmware for WiFi devices. It also has the Debian non-free repo in its sources.list activated by default, which is a shame. Benjamin Franklin's words come to mind Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Another annoying problem with flash
And here we go! My fault, didn't checked on project' site if it were a newer version :-P I donwloaded and compiled lightspark 0.7.2 (trisquel repository has 0.5.5) and magically these f... bad player started to play! It works a little bit slowly than adobe, but don't care. I can uninstall adobe-trash from debian to make it full-libre again, and stay to trisquel with no problems. I will check for an ubuntu-ppa for lightspark, to update it easily. And so once again, my vrms will tell me that "rms would be proud" :-P
[Trisquel-users] Network Manager
Please help. I installed the standard Trisquel x64 into my ATI desktop and the Cinnamon version into my NVIDIA desktop. I am able to configure my DSL connection with both but not the mobile broadband. This configures fine in standard Trisquel but not Cinnamon. The modem is recognized by name and so is my country provider and network plan but the configuration does not save in the network manager window. It even dials out when I click auto broadband and the connection details (Claro) also show correctly but it does not connect. Any ideas please?
Re: [Trisquel-users] RMS in MIB III movie?
I don't see the resemblance. The guy has a beard and long hair... so? Lots of people have those features, and RMS doesn't have blond hair. He reminds me more of TJ Kirk "TheAmazingAtheist" as he looked when he started making videos.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Network Manager
I had a similar issue a long time ago, and it was solved by installing the modemmanager package (and possibly usb-modeswitch). Not sure if this still applies, but if you have these installed on the standard install and not on Cinnamon it might:)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Network Manager
Thanks for the suggestion but both these components are already installed.

List packages on both systems, sort and then diff. We can help with the guesswork.
Re: [Trisquel-users] [OT] FOSS Skype Replacement
This program uses OpenJDK-7 which is free software. Hopefully (if all goes well), I will make the program in such a way that you can only run it using OpenJDK. I am to do this by taking the source code of OpenJDK and compiling it in such a way that I can package it with my program to form an executable which will be aimed for Windows machines (exe). This way people cannot run it using non-free java atleast on windows. This won't really be an issue on GNU/Linux machines because as far as I've seen most people use OpenJDK anyways... GNU Telephony and Wich SIP have been on my radar for quite some time... I think it would be really nice to have them integrated into the program so that the user can have an option between my networking framework or GNU's take... The reasoning behind that being my framework is somewhat a fork of other projects that have come about or has used idea's from other projects, for instance TOR. While I've never used GNU's SIP, I think that it may be a popular choise so I'll at it to my list :) I think what I'm going to do is post segments of code that I think other projects would benefit from and give them a link to my website which will contain it. Perhaps if I find some time or feel like this is becoming a main priority that I will jump onto other projects and try to submit my code more though as it stands right now I'm having a lot of fun making my own software, its become a really big part of my life and my friends and I are having a blast colaborating on closed sourced software trying to figure out how they did things and how we could make a better version... Maybe this is true with other projects, but I like to keep myself focused on one project at a time and by being in two either one will fail and the other succeed or both will be hindered... I think that adding more documentation will be something that I do if not today then sometime this week. Hopefully in a weeks time the projet will be clearer so that people can have a more indepth look into what I intend to do, but till that time I'll keep chugging the coffee's back and playing April Wine ;) ~DeckardCain ~DeckardCain

Re: [Trisquel-users] Meet Free Software supporters in Sofia
Hi! I'm a free software supporter from Bulgaria and a Trisquel user too. I was at OpenFest on both days, since a live in Sofia. I just saw your message. Unfortunately, I didn't go to any of your talks. There were many things to do. If I knew you were going to discuss how free Firefox OS is, I would have come. I've actually might have overheard you talking to someone. I was in the main hall, trying to upload test programs on an Arduino board I've soldered the previous days. While doing this, I overheard too guys who I think were talking in Romanian. One of the guys said in English, that he is going to organize and event and invite Richard Stallman. This caught my attention, since most people at OpenFest didn't care much about the free software movement. Now I figure that this was probably you. :) I also did a lightening talk at the event. It was about LibTec: Libre Technology Institute. A project I've started recently, that's involved in education and development of libre technologies, such as free software. You can contact to me at mar...@libtec.org, if you want to meet next time. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] [OT] FOSS Skype Replacement
Making a Java program intentionally incompatible with the proprietary Java interpreter from Oracle is not something I would encourage. Other than OpenJDK not being readily available in binary form for Windows, it doesn't improve anyone's freedom to intentionally cripple a Java program so that a certain Java interpreter can't interpret it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin GNU / Linux Laptop /w 1920x1080 Matte Screen Now Shipping
We got our order in for our Snares on Friday afternoon. I told Chris I would throw a review up. + The keyboard is spaced perfectly(not crunched up like on others) The OS was installed and works great right out of the box. The screen is crystal clear, the finest of details are visible The graphics are supreme, this Graphics card (Intel) surpasses the prior ATI GTX card we had in our Desktop, and the Nvidia card we had in our previous Toshiba. Load time is typical of linux(what, 8 seconds) It makes it a pleasure to do computing on. - Non we are going to buy 2 more over the next 9 months. IMHO, This is a solid investment. The guys at TP have done a really good job with this one, and deserve some thumps up in the efforts to put together a laptop that is freeware based. Thank you for all you do, Chris,Alex and crew!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Meet Free Software supporters in Sofia
I would love to hear that talk about Firefox OS, since I'm curious about what proprietary software it contains.

That is fantastic. I'm really glad that you are now able to use wireless in freedom. :-) Please, could you tell me if your internet connection is close as good as with the cable connection? Thank you.

[Trisquel-users] Legal enforceability of licenses
Some licenses are intended to give freedom, but I wonder if they are really free, such as this custom license for Bitcoin-Ticker, a Firefox addon. Bitcoin-Ticker 1.0.4 Source Code License Freedom Do what thou wilt. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bitcoin-ticker/license/1.0.4
Re: [Trisquel-users] [OT] FOSS Skype Replacement
The intention is not to make the program not run on non free Java, the program will definitely be able to do that. The intent is rather to package the program with OpenJDK to form an EXE. The reasoning behind this is that most windows users do not know how to run a JAR (thats...really sad... but true.), though they do know how to use EXE's, so I figured why not make it even easier to use by making an EXE, and I mide as well throw a free edition of Java in there too. If you don't want to use the EXE, you will have the option to download the .JAR or even the tar of the .java files themselves. ~DeckardCain
Re: [Trisquel-users] Legal enforceability of licenses
The language is archaic, but it very clearly tells you to do what you want. The WTFPL pretty much says the same thing with the same type of simple language (just a little less politely), and that's been accepted by the FSF, so I don't see why this license would not work.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Legal enforceability of licenses
How would I add this add-on to the Abrowser add-on page? There is no selection for the "Do what thou wilt" license.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin GNU / Linux Laptop /w 1920x1080 Matte Screen Now Shipping
Free software is not the same as freeware. Free software is about certain user freedoms. It can be commercial or gratis. Freeware is gratis. The instructions that make up a piece of freeware may be free (freedom-respecting) or proprietary (secret). Linux Mint exists because of the GNU Project's contributions to software freedom. The GNU Project contributed the free software philosophy, and practical things like a window manager, desktop environment, web browser, and other stuff that we need for our computers to be useful. Linus Torvalds contributed a piece too; the kernel Linux. Linux was originally proprietary software; Linus later released it as GNU General Public License software. How come you're using Mint? It has proprietary software in it. Operating systems like Trisquel and gNew-Sense are free in the freedom sense, and will work with the Snares Penguin hardware. Thanks for posting the hardware review by the way.
[Trisquel-users] “badBIOS,” malware that jumps airgaps
Ruiu said he arrived at the theory about badBIOS's high-frequency networking capability after observing encrypted data packets being sent to and from an infected machine that had no obvious network connection with -- but was in close proximity to -- another badBIOS-infected computer. The packets were transmitted even when one of the machines had its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards removed. Ruiu also disconnected the machine's power cord to rule out the possibility it was receiving signals over the electrical connection. Even then, forensic tools showed the packets continued to flow over the airgapped machine. Then, when Ruiu removed internal speaker and microphone connected to the airgapped machine, the packets suddenly stopped. With the speakers and mic intact, Ruiu said, the isolated computer seemed to be using the high-frequency connection to maintain the integrity of the badBIOS infection as he worked to dismantle software components the malware relied on. "The airgapped machine is acting like it's connected to the Internet," he said. "Most of the problems we were having is we were slightly disabling bits of the components of the system. It would not let us disable some things. Things kept getting fixed automatically as soon as we tried to break them. It was weird." http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/10/meet-badbios-the-mysterious-mac-and-pc-malware-that-jumps-airgaps/

Re: [Trisquel-users] “badBIOS,” malware that jumps airgaps
If this is an actual BIOS (not sure if it is?) then I want its source code. It appears to be cross-platform, easy to install, and fully functional. Still, this terrifies me. What distance can this virus cross?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Penguin GNU / Linux Laptop /w 1920x1080 Matte Screen Now Shipping
muhammed Mint is where I arrived at after going through several others over the course of several years. It has worked so far, and anything that will make my life a bit less complicated is welcomed. I can go with Trisquel on the next laptop buy(which will be mine), I have this one setup for my husband who has is moving from XP Pro as of this build, over. So I need it to be somewhat, user friendly. (He does not have any idea on how to use terminal ect..) I will probably dable more, but I do have a ceiling on what I can dedicate for time for the learning curve each distro has when you move over. I HS my son, as well as run a household,make nearly every meal at home, balance the budget, maintain the computers and get all the shopping done. One of the things decided on in 2010 was moving away from anything windows, thus this is the first step in new hardware. my goal is for us all to move over within the year, to *new* hardware and hopefully, as well, work to have more distros under the belt. Appreciate the suggestions. Thanks.

"What distance can this virus cross?" Assuming that it is even real, and if you follow the very strict procedures recommended to properly maintain any airgapped machine, none at all.
