Sure, that's what you say citizen but do you * own a SmartBed which can corroborate your claim? * use a made in China tooth brush? * eat anything your neighbor doesn't eat? * work at a Patriotic Corporation? * dream of breaking the law? You still probably might be terrorist and that's why you have to be closely monitored 24/7 for your own best...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Developing free software
I find lazarus in the Trisquel repositories sudo apt-get install lazarus But I think that must be removed from repositories Because lazarus cause a license violation. from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Specifically, the LCL, which is statically built into the produced executables, is licensed under a modified version of the LGPL, granting extra permissions to allow it to be statically built into the produced software, including proprietary ones. Note that installing a design-time package is equivalent to linking to the IDE. Thus, distributing the Lazarus IDE with a GPL-incompatible design-time package (e.g. the JEDI packages, which are licensed under the Mozilla Public License ) pre-installed would cause a license violation. Anyway I used gtk to develop programs I have not used any ide I use emacs
Re: [Trisquel-users] Developing free software
I tried to install Lazarus from the repositories for some weeks ago, but the LCL's you're mentioning is already removed. But, I agree, remove the whole thing, it's useless in it's current state anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Writing Documentation on Trisquel's wiki.
You may check the syntax of the other manuals in the wiki. Test the wiki sandbox. https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/sandbox
Re: [Trisquel-users] Writing Documentation on Trisquel's wiki.
Read here: https://trisquel.info/filter/tips The best way to learn is, however, to edit other wiki pages and look how things are done there. The syntax used on Trisquel's wiki is broken, buggy, and limited, so you will also need to learn how to overcome some of these.

Re: [Trisquel-users] On the NSA targeting readers of Linux Journal as extremists
My two cents TOR SOFTWARE is a good thing, it gives you freedom of anonymity. Since, it is a means of anonymous communication, that could or will be use to disseminate orders, plans,and classified information. Hard to cypher, their real intent. They could hurt you, when it is used by the wrong minds and hands. Such as radical groups. Knowing this, I really don't live a live in an egg shell of conspiracies. I live the facts that there is people planning and always conspiring to destroy our way of life..

[Trisquel-users] Canon MG5200 -- Nonfree Printer Drivers
Ahoy there! I just installed Trisquel Toutalis on my parent's computer (I'll be migrating them from windows in the next week or so), only to discover that the only drivers available for the main printer are non-free software. I can't seem to find any alternative free drivers, so I may be forced to install the non-free drivers as a last resort (lesser evil and all). I'd very, -very-, *very* much like to avoid doing that. So, is there anything I missed? Or, failing that, any effort I can contribute to, or anything I do (as an intermediate-level C programmer or otherwise) to (help) create a free port of the drivers? Thanks! - Finn
[Trisquel-users] Re : Canon MG5200 -- Nonfree Printer Drivers
Offer an HP printer for birthday (whichever is closer).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Canon MG5200 -- Nonfree Printer Drivers
Gutenprint 5.2.10 has experimental support for that printer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Developing free software
What about Vala [0]? Its systax is similar to Java or C# but is almost as efficient as C. Vala is the language chosen by elementary [1] to develop their applications and GNOME games are being ported to it as well. Glade [2] is another option for UI design, if you prefer GTK+ instead of Qt.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Developing free software
PySide and PyQt4 are basically identical in function with Python 3. PyQt4 has old cruft in the Python 2 version, so PySide is clearly a winner if you're using Python 2, but otherwise, the only major difference is the license, and the license difference doesn't matter if you're using the GNU GPL anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Canon MG5200 -- Nonfree Printer Drivers
Ah! Thanks! I'll try that out! :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Canon MG5200 -- Nonfree Printer Drivers
It looks like Gutenprint is in the repository (and thus free software, hopefully). That said though the best thing to do is pay attention to the hardware your looking to buy before you buy it. That way you don't end up (as its extremely easy to do) with hostile hardware. While HP (in the printer arena) has one of the best selections of clearly free software friendly printers even they aren't perfect. There are many many HP printers dependent on non-free code. HP does have some pretty good documentation though which can be very useful in narrowing down what is and is not free software friendly. There are some other issues related to the drivers actually bundled with Trisquel not yet having support for whats currently being sold, and the HP drivers having some non-free pieces which can also make it difficult to distinguish whats good and whats not of the current models readily available

Re: [Trisquel-users] Compile Trisquel from Source
If I cannot recompile Trisquel through the source ISO, then what is the source ISO for? I have a computer running Trisquel which crashes and restarts on its own every few days or so. I think that recompiling Trisquel specifically for that system might solve the problem. What do you think?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Canon MG5200 -- Nonfree Printer Drivers
The first thing that comes to my mind is a commonly yelled phrase among a certain political persuasion and age bracket: get a job”. No, I'm not of that persuasion. However I think having a job would give you a vivid understanding of why there are so many more financially insecure young individuals here. Essentially what it boils down to is young people have been disenfranchised by economic conditions and recently passed laws in some countries that make it difficult for employers to hire young candidates. When you have a larger younger educated populous with nothing to do they have the time to post on such forums. For those here without jobs who don't understand this I'll say this: People with jobs don't have time to post on internet forums in most cases. It's just that simple. Yes- there are some exceptions to this. I know some relatively young bright 25-30 year olds who were lucky and made it rich-or are otherwise doing well on these very forums. However they are people who created opportunities for themselves. They didn't necessarily seek out employment. The quite literally started projects, companies, or similar to fill some niche, and that propelled them forward. If the jobs don't exist you have to “make them”. It's harder said than done of course. Particularly for those in situations where there is significant educational debts (of which can't be absolved via bankruptcy, etc), no housing / food security, etc.
[Trisquel-users] dvgrab: Error: no camera exists
I have tried to use my video camera with firewire. Firewire has been detected by lspci and by lsmod. But Module raw1394 is not found. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dvgrab/+bug/779680 So I cannot see how to find the camera. -- Saludos libres, Quiliro Ordóñez 600 8579 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[Trisquel-users] Re : dvgrab: Error: no camera exists
Is there a raw1394 file in /dev once you've plugged the camera in? If yes, type sudo chmod a+rw /dev/raw1394 before running dvgrab. Worked for me.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Compile Trisquel from Source
First, the source ISO is there so you can study and change the source for the programs on the install CDs as per Freedom 1. You can't build the whole of Trisquel from it because that's tens of thousands of packages which won't all fit on one DVD. You could build a Trisquel install CD from the DVD. However, the Trisquel developer git repos contain a better way of doing this if you have a decent Internet connection. Second, I seriously doubt recompiling Trisquel specifically for your system is the right thing to do for your problem from your description. You haven't given us any of the answers to the who, what, why, where, when and how questions of software problem diagnosis which would evidence that it was necessary. Have you done the basic things like unplug all non-essential peripherals and checked the logs for things like kernel oops if it happens after that?
Re: [Trisquel-users] dvgrab: Error: no camera exists
The bug you quote is for Natty, most likely it's not that. Try making yourself a member of group video and logging out then back in again. That should fix any permissions problem you're having.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Compile Trisquel from Source
I have no real reason to believe that recompiling would solve my problem. I just thought it was worth a shot. The only non-essential peripheral it has is an external hard-drive. I have never looked at a log before. Syslog looks interesting. I'll try working with that information.
