Re: [Trisquel-users] Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 Beta 1: GNOME Classic session is also included by default
GNOME Classic is a set of extensions made by the GNOME team a few releases ago to replace GNOME Fallback, which at the time was discontinued. That announcement just means that Ubuntu GNOME is including the Classic session by default; it's not something new.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Microsoft now fighting UK government over FLOSS

Re: [Trisquel-users] Pitivi needs YOUR HELP
It's open source. Far from free software. Which of the 4 software freedoms do software licensed under those licenses take from you. And I've got a feeling that you might not recognise the difference between free software and Copyleft, the latter not mandatory in order for the former to be achieved.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Pitivi needs YOUR HELP
There basically is no *practical* difference between free software and open source. Even rms tells it: As far as we know, all existing free software would qualify as open source. Nearly all open source software is free software, but there are exceptions. The exceptions are a handful unpopular licenses... and, obviously (given its mere name), the GNU LGPL is not among them! It is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation! You do not need to be good at English to read the three first lines of the license: GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29 June 2007 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. The (essential) difference between the two terms is to be found in the values pushed by the people using one term or the other: free software is about respecting the users' essential freedoms, whereas the term open source was specifically coined to not talk about ethical issues. Anyway, as rms tells nearly all open source software is free software. The enemy is not the open source software! It is the proprietary software. Now would you please stop insulting users of this forum?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Pitivi needs YOUR HELP
Except that this isn't about one's understanding of and ability to use English?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Pitivi needs YOUR HELP
note to readers: copyrighted in this case, as far as I know, means copylefted (which de jure is a a way of applying copyright).

[Trisquel-users] Linterna Mágica campaign
Hey Free Software users, I know that there are some Linterna Mágica users reading the Trisquel mailing list, so I would like to inform them about some of our latest developments. We are running crowd funding campaign [1] for Linterna Mágica T-Shirts, that would help development and spread the word about us. [2] Our goal is at least 20 preorders for the prints to be produced and delivered. The campaign ends at 20th of March. Help us get there! As usual, any feedback (about the campaign or in general) is greatly valued. Thanks! [1] http://teespring.com/linternamagica signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Yeah, it's obviously a troll, so I don't really care. I was just concerned about the interested reader who might get the wrong impression, but many people helped out and clarified the situation. So thanks to everyone!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Your thoughts on Firefox to have ads in the browser
But the free ad-blocker (adblock plus) automaticialy allows non-intrusive advertising. Those websites should do that. Also, wouldn't it be better for the ad-blocker to make the website think that the user was seeing the ad, that way the developer would still get paid

How was RMS funded when he was developing GNU?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Linterna Mágica campaign
В 18:43 +0100 на 28.02.2014 (пт), shiret...@web.de написа: Well, honestly I don't quite understand. The purpose of this campaign is to raise money for linterna magica t-shirts and not for linterna magica itself? If the campaign is successful everyone who ordered a T-shirt will get one. The money will be split between me, Anton (the designer) and the campaign site. If the required minimal amount of preorders is not reached, the campaign fails, the people gets their money back and that's it. Why did you choose this indirect way? The direct ways were always on the website. Donations for Linterna Mágica are rare. We had one big donation from ThinkPenguin (Chris thanks again!) few years ago. Only few people donated (you know who you are, thanks!) over the years. Last year we had a survey [1] in which very few participated. It showed that we have a problem in the donation are. People who buy this t-shirt do it for the sole purpose of giving money to you for your work, so why taking away some part of this money for the t-shirt manufacturer etc This is a zero-cost-entry campaign for us... well I've spent one night with 4 hours of sleep, but still. :) The campaign on the T-shirts themselves could reach people (offline) whom we cannot, because we don't walk on the same path over the Internet. As I've said donations are rare, so we are trying this more dynamic approach with additional benefit for those who are wondering should they make a financial contribution. I would love it if people donated more, because I would be able to spent more time on Linterna Mágica and they would get better Linterna Mágica. Work on LM cannot be compared with anything for hire, unfortunately I can work on it in my spare time. Thats the cruel reality. :) [1] http://e-valkov.org/linterna-magica-survey/results signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [Trisquel-users] Pitivi needs YOUR HELP
No, MB wasn't talking about copyleft. MB was talking about the copyright monopoly of the license text itself. In fact, the GNU licenses are all under a simple license which allows only verbatim copying and distribution of the license in full. Not mentioned previously, GNU is also a trademark.

[Trisquel-users] logitech m560 DO NOT buy this mouse.
If you find this post, chances are you want to change this mouse's behavior. This mouse is a mess. Try to avoid it if you can. This mouse was designed for Windows 8. Button 2 (which is usually the scroll's wheel button) is not present. Instead the scroll makes a clicking sound, and the mouse goes from free-spinning mode to click-to-click mode in some sort of mechanical way. I really needed that button 2 in my mouse, so I spend some time finding if there could be a way to make a square button under the scroll's wheel behave as button 2. Unfortunately I were unable to find any satisfactory solution to use this button, at lest not on one click :( Let me show you how this mouse behaves, this was took from the following bug report trying to find a way to make this mouse usable: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035668 Default button mapping, as reported by xev and xinput: Button 1 - left click Button 3 - right click Button 4 - wheel up Button 5 - wheel down Button 8 - tilt left Button 9 - tilt right And the problematic ones: Pressing the forward button sends Super_R (keycode 134). Pressing the back button sends simultaneously Super_L and d (keycodes 133 40). Pressing the square button once, gives simultaneously Alt_L, Super_L and XF86TouchpadOff (keycodes 64, 133, 201). Pressing it a second time is like pressing button 1. This button alternates between those two states. Moving the mouse to the left while pressing the square button gives simultaneously Control + Tab + Super_L, and button 1 when the square button is release. Some times, after pressing the square button and releasing, and later you move the mouse to the left, it will still sent a Control + Tab + Super_L, so is not very consistent :( I found the following page which really helped me a lot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations Since The first thing I wanted to do is be able to use some other button as button 2 I used the following command to switch button 9 (tilt right) to be button 2: xmodmap -e pointer = 1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Now to change the behavior of the other buttons I used xbindkeys. xbindkeys will catch for instance Super_L and d (back button), and with the help xte we can sent a different key press: This is my .xbindkey: #forward /usr/bin/xte 'keyup Super_R' ; sleep .01; /usr/bin/xte 'key Home' Super_R #back /usr/bin/xte 'keyup Super_L' ; sleep .01; /usr/bin/xte 'key End' Mod4 + d #move mouse left with square button pressed Control + Tab + Super_L #square button stage 1 /usr/bin/xte 'mouseclick 1' Super_L + Alt I was unable to catch Super_R + Release. Maybe I just didn't know how to. Notice that I couldn't find a use for move mouse left with square button pressed, so I just left it blank, and first stage of the square button will do the same thing as the second stage (a single button 1 click). I usually use button 2 of the mouse to open links in a new top on the browser. In my effort to make the square button work as a button 2, I came with the following code which will prevent the second or the last release of the square button from clicking were it shouldn't: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/xte 'mouseclick 2' xmodmap -e pointer = 24 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 1 sleep 1 xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 This was suppose to prevent the mouse from clicking, after move mouse left with square button pressed, or in the second click switching back to stage one of the squire button. It worked, but having to move the mouse left every time or double clicking to go back to stage 1 before one second was insane. I know I spent to much time in this shitty mouse, maybe buying a new one was the best option but I couldn't return it back to the store and I didn't want it to go to waste. So there you have it. Hopefully it will help some one else. Thank you. P.S. is some body nows a way to change second stage of the square button will be awesome. See you every one.

We never got a final 6.1 ISO with the Saucy kernel, but how hard is it to create a new net install ISO to have the Saucy kernel as one of the options? I may upgrade my PC soon and don't want to be stuck with the old 3.2 kernel hoping everything works.
[Trisquel-users] Abiword and abicollab.net
I just want to ask whether I understand how Abicollab works: Users run the free Abiword software on their own computers. And rely on abicollab.net to host the file. Is Abicollab therefore free, and not sass? Is there any downside to relying on Abicollab to host the file?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abiword and abicollab.net
I'm not familiar with the service, but it sounds like it facilitates collaboration on a single document. Is that correct? If it is, this is a job that your own computer can't do on its own, and therefore the service is not SaaSS.
