Re: [Trisquel-users] Work On Trisquel 7 Has Begun
I'm still not getting anything from sudo do-release-upgrade; how pathetic would it be to put a VM of Belenus on my Toutatis host?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Richard Stallman Interview on RT Television
Another bad interview made by this channel, unfortunately... RT is great. And, so is Stallman. And, I'm a big fan of both. But, for some reason, when the two are mixed, the results are not very good... :| If anyone wants to check out also one of the worst interviews that were made to Stallman, check out this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFMMXRoSxnA And then look for the comments saying that Stallman should have punched that interviewer in the face... :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Richard Stallman Interview on RT Television
I think that was a good read despite I had to do so reading the source code since rt doesn't seem to work without JavaS***t. I do agree rms and rt are bit like water and oil sometimes.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Richard Stallman Interview on RT Television
I think it's the job of the interviewer to ask all the questions that other people might ask him. RMS was ready for everything.

[Trisquel-users] Game engine for Python
What the heck, might as well share the game engine I developed. The Stellar Game Engine (shortened "SGE", which I say like the English word "sage") is a free/libre (GNU LGPL) game engine for Python I wrote. From my understanding, it's like Love2D, but for Python. Basically, it handles a ton of low-level details for you, such as window resizing, collision detection, and even some more advanced features like split-screen and delta timing, so that you can focus on the actual game rather than writing the whole engine from scratch. It's also great for learning. Check it out at: http://stellarengine.nongnu.org

Re: [Trisquel-users] Game engine for Python
Hey, that looks cool. Good job! Are there any screenshots to get an impression?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Game engine for Python
There's really nothing to take a screenshot of, so no. I could take screenshots of the Pong example, but it just looks like Pong. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] BBC videos.
Thanks for telling me about this, in the past I have often wanted to download BBC iplayer videos What should I say in the email to them?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Work On Trisquel 7 Has Begun
Why does Trisquel come with Quadrapassel as default software? (Games, tetris) It is buggy and not very good, and there is a far better similar version of Tetris called lTris? A trivial thing but wouldn't that be an improvement?
Re: [Trisquel-users] BBC videos.
I say "free/libre" or sometimes just "libre" to be unambiguous. You may also want to point to the Free Software Definition. Just say that Flash is proprietary, you refuse to run Flash on ethical grounds, and that therefore you cannot watch their videos, so they should switch to an HTML5 player or offer a fallback HTML5 player.
[Trisquel-users] MTRR allocation failed. Reason for lagging mouse?
Hello, a few days ago I found that my mouse was clearly lagging now and then. Beside of this, my system seems to be quite stable and performance is not bad at all. In my syslog I found: [kernel] [0.768728] [drm] MTRR allocation failed. Graphics performance may suffer. And of course I thought that maybe this could be the issue. I'm using xmonad at the moment. Sure I seldomly use the mouse, but maybe my graphics performance is limited and I just don't feel it at the moment. Any ideas?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Work On Trisquel 7 Has Begun
I also run KDE on Trisquel, and it works absolutely fine. I was just wondering if there was a maintainer for the triskel package and if there was anything planned for Trisquel 7 in terms of customizing KDE for Trisquel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Work On Trisquel 7 Has Begun
I'm glad work has started months before the final Ubuntu 14.04 release. Does this mean we will get a final release of Trisquel 7 within a month or two of 14.04?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Work On Trisquel 7 Has Begun
t3g said "within a month or two of 14.04?" Once 14.04 is released it's probably best to wait a while for it to become more polished so it's probably more accurate to say that Trisquel 7 will be released "when it's ready" rather than assigning a specific date or time period.

That said, what people can do it use it. Report bugs. Help get those bugs fixed in Ubuntu itself so that Trisquel doesn't have to fix them and can just import the updates (hey, it's less work!) Get familiar with package helpers and help maintain things by bashing packages into shape as they're pulled from Ubuntu (changes to the Git repo can be sent to the trisquel-devel mailing list.) And etc.
