You may use Scriptish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scriptish) instead of Greasemonkey. I use it and is very good. Scriptish is a fork of Greasemonkey.

@Armworm did you make an update-upgrade of the system on 20.01.2014 or 21.01.2014 ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to remove my swap partition
Swap can be used by the system even if the RAM is not completley used up. This can be disabled by changing swappiness to 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swappiness
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to remove my swap partition
Thanks to everyone for your comments! For starters, I will test my system with swapiness = 0 and the top command so I can see if the partition is actually needed. On top of that, I will use swapoff -a from time to time and observe how the system is working with this option. Concerning hibernation I don't understand why a swap partition is mandatory for this. I mean it's suspend-to-ram, so a sufficiently big ram should be just fine? Are you sure it will not work anymore without swap?
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to remove my swap partition
Hibernation is not suspend-to-ram. The contents of RAM is written to a swap partition when hibernating. RAM needs power, or it looses data. When a computer is hibernating it is possible to disconnect power (or remove battery) or even boot another operating system (which must not use the swap where the data is).
Re: [Trisquel-users] easy-to-follow Postfix guide?
Use the first IP, right next to inet. For example: inet 192.168.1.107/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0 In the above, your IP is 192.168.1.107 and your network is 192.168.1.0/24. I don't yet understand much about IP networks. What I understand by reading in Wikipedia just now, brd 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address of the network. It is used to send a messages to all addresses on the network. The address after inet6 is your IPv6 address , while the address 192.168.1.107 is your IPv4 address. The IPv6 address is different and its written in hexadecimal notation. IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is meant to replace IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4), but IPv4 is still more widely used. These two protocols are a technologies needed communication between computers on Internet and local networks.

I know two reasons for receiving this: The domain name you've written doesn't exist You are not connected the Internet You can connect to your mail server using an IP address, rather than a domain name. You can write for example: nc -v 192.168.1.107 25
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to remove my swap partition
Ok, then I confused the terms. I only need suspend-to-ram, not suspend-to-disk or something similar.

Abrowser's addon database works like a wiki. If something's missing from there, you can add it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Permanently switched to Trisquel, have a few questions ...
On the right side of the trisquel's page you can see a list. In that list click on create content for your addon submitions. Remember that those must be really free not almost. Those addons must be under a free license and open source. About the block reported attack sites and block reported web forgeries disabled, I'd like to mention that not all of them are really what they say. When you are not allowed to view a site is not always for good reason as there are reason that goverments don't want people to know something. An example are lot of revisionists blocked sites.

Thank you for your anwsers. sudo dpkg -i works fine. Thank you, quantumgravity.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Permanently switched to Trisquel, have a few questions ...
'And lastly, why are block reported attack sites and block reported web forgeries disabled by default inside Abrowser?' As far as I know, Abrowser would have to query a server if a site to be visited is a reported attack site or a forgery, which would reveal your browsing habits to the server.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Permanently switched to Trisquel, have a few questions ...
Yes, I understand that this option causes the browser to check every site you visit against a database on a Google server, so it is a matter of privacy. I always disable it as a routine precaution.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Migration from Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) to Trisquel 6.0 (Toutatis)
When you speak of freedom, you are referring to the 4 freedoms as defined by the FSF right? Ok cool. The GPLs, the BSDs, MIT, Apache, CC0, and MPL respect those and are the most popular licenses. These licenses respect those freedoms and can be called either free software or open source. Its more of a choice of wording and depends on your audience. The term free software tends to lend itself more to evangelism and open source is a more common business term.

That is double morality. It is not to bring free software to business. It is to make business capture the free software movement and keep its monopolies. You better listen to Bruce Perens arguments in favor of differentiators. -- Saludos libres, Quiliro Ordóñez 600 8579

There's a YouTube link at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daOJxYVZ5aM which may be better. When I open up that link in VLC (Open Network Stream), it brings in the WebM version.
[Trisquel-users] Does anybody know how to install Free Pascal?
The add/remove applications tool conveniently installs Lazarus, but Free Pascal is not listed. Would appreciate help. Thanks!

You can use command line to install it. sudo apt-get install fpc
[Trisquel-users] I deleted Courier 10 Pitch, and broke FontForge
I no longer want the font Courier 10 Pitch, so I opened a file manager as root and deleted it from /usr/share/fonts. But now when I try to open a font in FontForge, the window briefly appears and then quits. When I went to the terminal from which I'd run gksu thunar, I noticed several messages like this: Help! Server claimed font -bitstream-courier 10 pitch-medium-r-normal--16-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1 existed in the font list, but when I asked for it there was nothing. I may crash soon. Segmentation fault How can I fix this? Where in the system is this command given, so that I can prevent this crash from occurring.

Re: [Trisquel-users] I deleted Courier 10 Pitch, and broke FontForge
I think I figured it out. There's a file /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir. You need to edit this file, remove all the lines referring to Courier, and change the number at the top to the number of lines in the file minus one. It's not working yet, but I'll reboot and see if that's still the case.
