OpenFWWF only works with just a few older Broadcom cards, namely AirForce  
wlan chipsets:


  * BCM4306
  * BCM4311 revision 1
  * BCM4318
  * BCM4320



Re: [Trisquel-users] /home does not mount after suspend

Rather modify the ones at /etc/pm/sleep.d

If both directories contain a similar named file, the one in /etc/pm/sleep.d  
will get preference.

apm was the older thing before acpi, you probably don't need that.

Reading this http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1802 suggests that the mmc  
module has a removable parameter that might come handy. Note however that if  
you should eject the card while suspending, bad things will happen. Try


sudo modinfo -p mmc

You can set the parameters in /etc/modprobe.d or as kernel parameters in  
GRUB.


[Trisquel-users] Connecting a Lego Mindstorms NXT brick via Bluetooth

2014-01-26 Thread LDrumbler
I'm trying to connect a Lego Mindstorms NXT brick to my computer with  
Bluetooth. Windows computers I've tested can see and connect to the brick  
just fine, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the brick or the Bluetooth  
transmitter.


When I plug the transmitter in, a setup icon with the Bluetooth logo appears  
on the panel. If I click it, there is an option to set up a new device. And  
the computer can see the brickā€”it shows up in the list of devices. But when  
I try to establish a connection (even with the PIN set to the correct 1234),  
I am asked to enter a PIN on the brick. This is impossible; the brick has no  
input methods for entering a PIN.


So, how can I get this thing to work with free software?


[Trisquel-users] Startup Disk Creator fail: An uncaught exception was raised: Invalid version string 'GNU/Linux'

2014-01-26 Thread secondnature
I've tried with two different USB sticks, three different .iso images, and on  
two different machines running Trisquel 6.


Each time, the following error:

An uncaught exception was raised:
Invalid version string 'GNU/Linux'

Looks like it's an ubuntu bug:

SHould I install unetbootin, or is there another way?

trisquel is a hybrid CD/USB.  You can use sudo -i then cat foo.iso  
/dev/sdX where X is your USB drive [don't use a partition number!]


Re: [Trisquel-users] best thinkpad x60 wifi card

thanks for clarification about the non-free bluetooth driver.

I got a AR5B97 AR9287 card for cheap at ebay. it is getting warm too, but far  
from the hot temerature with the intel card. It needs some custom  
modification though because it's a half size card and the laptop is made for  
full size cards.

successfully used the command line method

sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M;sync

easier tbh :)

thanks!

Oh, I didn't know that. Anyway, I recommend the TP-Link TL-WN722N, version 1.  
When I got it (last month) it was the only version. If it still is, then you  
should be safe, since it uses AR9271+AR7010. However, you need the  
open-ath9k-htc-firmware package.

Those of us who keep their Trisquel 6 up to date (and have not removed  
trisquel-base) already have that package installed. See my previous

Re: [Trisquel-users] Display Resolution Problem on Toshiba Sat L830

2014-01-26 Thread j323

Thanks Guys, apologies delay, not online at home.

MB: 'Display Resolution' in 'Settings' only has 4:3,: When scrolling down  
'Resolution' nothing else appears (worked in Linux Mint though).

Will try to find out what my video card is

Lembas: Thanks for that, will try to get some help to look into it as never  
used a Terminal before.


On other thing, when using Libre Office Writer the spell check doesn't work -  
is there anything simple I can do to rectify this.


Appreciate your time  help Guys, thank you


[Trisquel-users] Re : Display Resolution Problem on Toshiba Sat L830

2014-01-26 Thread magicbanana
For the spell-checker, try running the Language Support utility in the  
System settings.


As lembas wrote, you can idebtify the precise graphical chipset you have by  
typing, in a terminal, the following line (+ the [Enter] key):

$ lspci | grep VGA

Guessing from the problem you face, the answer will probably be an AMD  
chipset, the most problematic ones...


[Trisquel-users] Slim + GNOME

2014-01-26 Thread ark

Hi,

I'm having difficulties to start a session using slim login manager.
It keeps trying to start a ubuntu session, i know that i should set it to  
start gnome-session --session=gnome-classic, but where?

Trisquel with GNOME won't create a xinitrc file, should i?

Am i missing a trick that i'm not aware of?
have any of you made that combination (GNOME+slime)?.

Thanks in advance :)
