Re: [Trisquel-users] Slim + GNOME

[ark]

Well, i figured it out.

I had to add, gnome-session-classic to look like this line,

sessionsgnome-session-classic,default,startxfce4,openbox,ion3,...


on the /etc/slim.conf file.

That was enough to start the trisquel-gnome session with slim instead of GDM.

Thanks anyway, see you around!

Don't fear the terminal, it's probably somewhat scary at first if you've  
never used such an interface before but it's not too complicated. It's pretty  
unlikely you'd manage to break anything and if you do, then you probably  
learned a lesson. :)


Once you pick some terminal skills, it's often a much quicker way to get some  
things done than clicking around in GUIs. It also allows one to write simple  
scripts and do all kind of silly things. Scripting is like programming for  
non-programmers.


Are you trying to get the spell check going for English text? What happens?

Zancudo,

Check ebay again, they make an adapter card for half size cards to become  
full size. Inexpensive. 

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

[gramex]

Have you tested the Bluetooth device on the computer with other devices to  
make sure it works?


I don't know if an NXT can be programmed with only free software. When I had  
one (version 1.0), it required a very buggy proprietary LabVIEW IDE to  
program it. I have heard of another way to program it, NXC (Not 'Xactly C),  
but have never used it.

leJOS is free software under the Mozilla Public License 1.0 (MPL).

I have no other Bluetooth devices to test, and the Windows computer connected  
using the the same Bluetooth transmitter that I'm using.


I'm using MonoDevelop and the C# MonoBrick communication library. Throughout

Re: [Trisquel-users] Help me get rid of the last proprietary component of my OS, the b43 driver

[franparpe]

Thank you to all of you.

I'm evaluating the money I have to spend.

One more question please:

Why I have to reinstall the propietary firmware/driver every time I change  
the kernel?


Why the free as in freedom ones not?

Note: Even if I have the same problem with a free driver I still would use it  
instead a nonfree; so don't be shy in the answer please.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Help me get rid of the last proprietary component of my OS, the b43 driver

[onpon4]

That would be because the deblobbed versions of Linux don't have the firmware  
or driver included with them. You said you're using Debian; Debian has all  
non-free firmware blobs in separate packages found in the non-free repo. I  
don't know how exactly it's packaged, but my educated guess is a given  
firmware blob needs a particular version or range of versions of Linux, or  
something like that. Whatever the details, the cause of the annoyance would  
be that it's separate from Linux.
