[Trisquel-users] Installation problems via USB
Hello everybody, i tried to install trisquel mini 6 via usb. Immediately i get three lines on the black screen: SysLinux 3.63 Debian 2012-04-16 EBIOS Copyright (and so on) Unknown keyword in configuration file boot: And then the cursor blinks in the fourth line. I got that twice or three times. Once i waited for 2 hours, but nothing else happened. Can that be some kind of bug? MD5 checksum is ok. This is a relatively old acer travelmate, pentium m, 512 MB RAM. The file syslinux.cfg on the usb drive has this content: # D-I config version 2.0 include menu.cfg default vesamenu.c32 prompt 0 timeout 300 ui gfxboot bootlogo

How did you make the USB? Does it work on another computer?

[Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software Hello Everyone, A long time as passed since the last time I've posted anything on this Forum, and I have to say that, looking at the news about the new Trisquel Gnu/Linux being in work (and after testing it) I have to say that the future of Trisquel Gnu/Linux brings some cool stuff to us Free Software (and Trisquel Gnu/Linux) enthusiasts. With this in mind I wanted to quickly talk about my project. For the ones who remember, my first post on this forum (17 September of 2012, Titled - https://trisquel.info/en/forum/just-question-all-free-software-users-student) was about my problem to only use Free Software as a student here in my home country (Portugal), I contacted RMS and then posted the email on this Forum in order for anyone to tell me, if possible, what I could possibly do beside the opinion given by RMS itself. I have received a lot of answer, my post is still one of the most commented on this forum (in the 15th position), and I want to thank you all for this. I've been taking my time to understand Trisquel Gnu/Linux, understand better what is Free Software and why it is so important, and to do that I've been using Trisquel Gnu/Linux as a bridge of knowledge between what I know and what the community know that I don't. With this in mind I've created a company called LibreTrend dedicated only to Free Software with the final goal to produce Hardware and Software of any kind (including external development and support) only using (and with the goal to provide exclusively) Free Software. So I've start searching how business work here, how they work with software, what is the mentality towards Free Software... And finally, where Free Software can be implemented in order to help them. And this is why I've developed the first LibreTrend product, the LibreBox. The LibreBox is a small (20x20x4 cm) and beautiful (fully black alloy) computer dedicated 100% to Free Software. Every piece of hardware as been chosen to be used with a Free Software OS. This is the work I've been doing since I carefully read all of your comments, all of you opinions, not only in my Topic but also in the forum in general, this is what gave me the strength to do it, that Free Software strength which runs on this Forum's veins. I am established in my country as a seller, but now I am launching online, and to start well I want to give you, the Community and Trisquel Gnu/Linux itself, a gift. I know that this doesn't look like a huge gift but it is the best I can do for now. My gift is the following, every user of the Forum Trisquel Gnu/Linux, who see this posts and uses the COUPON on the bottom to purchase, will have a 6% discount on the Computer final price (not including shipping). This discount will be applied to your order and the value will be reversed as a donation to Trisquel Gnu/Linux. This COUPON is valid for 10 individuals purchases which mean that this can't be used twice by the same person, if the request is high I'll create a new COUPON with a greater discount and a bigger quantity. This is my humble way to say thank you ! Once again thank you, everyone, for everything. And if you have any questions or comments please let me know here :) Best Regards, Luis Da Costa WEBSITE : https://www.libretrend.com COUPON : LTDTRISQ14 How to Use the Coupon: -- When you are ready to buy. Just click on the cart in the TOP and then on View Cart, you'll then see an option to enter the coupon saying Use Coupon Code. Just click on it and enter the COUPON. If COUPONS are still available then you'll see the price change, after this just click on Checkout and finish the order.

[Trisquel-users] Re : LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
I wish you a lot of success! A question you will definitely have to answer (you had better write the answer on the website): Is the BIOS free software? I believe the answer is no given Intel's attitude towards coreboot... and I understand that Intel's graphics is what is best supported by Linux-libre, hence the choice. Is the choice of an older CPU really justified by Secure Boot? I mean: as long as it lets you install a free operating system (and one even comes installed by default), what is the problem? Technologies in Intel vPro such as TXT ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Execution_Technology ) and AMT ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Technology ) are to be avoided but you can still find i7 processors without them.

[Trisquel-users] Laser Printer compatible with Trisquel or totally free distributions ?
Hello, everybody, On the website ThinkPenguin.Com I see that the only laser printer is a priori not compatible with Trisquel. Do you know some laser printers (with ou without color) that are compatible with Triquel or with one of these recommended distributions ? Just another little question : with a color laser printer, have we four ? If yes, can I print black-white when the yellow cartridge is empty ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Laser Printer compatible with Trisquel or totally free distributions ?

Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Hello Magic Banana, Thank you for your support :) I think you are right about adding this information on the website, and I will do it today if possible. So to answer your questions : Q: Is the BIOS Proprietary ? A: Yes the BIOS is proprietary. But I am already working with the manufacturer in order to release it to me in order to make a Coreboot out of the sources (of what is possible of course). Q: Why choosing Intel GPU instead of others. A: There was better choices of chips but knowing that the AMD GPU don't provide a free Firmware for Gnu/Linux I had to choose Intel. Q: Is the choice of an older CPU really justified by Secure Boot. A: It is not only about Secure Boot. There are a lot of questions I had to ask myself before making the choice of this processor. Here is the thing, with all the security problems behind the new Intel GPU, and knowing that I can't use AMD in this type of system because of the blobs, I really had a difficult choice in finding the good hardware. Plus, with this manufacturer I have two good conditions I couldn't find with any other : 1 - The possibility to have the source code of the BIOS, and since Google had already done a lot of work in their computing with CPU's of the same family has the 1037U, it would make my life easier. 2 - I am planning on designing a computer 100% Free from Bios to OS, and that would be by using a MIPS CPU. But as you may already know, this isn't perfect right now, and I don't have the financial possibility to do it as well. And this was the best approach I've found to achieve my goal. I already talked to Ruben about the idea of providing some good things to Trisquel itself, and this is what I still want to do. I am developing a new DE/Shell with a new kind of User Experience, and that kind of computer would provide enough power to make this dream come true in as many computers and different hardware as possible (from Low-End to High-End). So being able to provide a chip but powerfull computer with this Free Software experience (even without my DE/Shell) would be perfect. Of course I may in the future come with more powerfull CPU's, but for now I am playing everything on this one. My goal for now is being able to provide the same product but cheaper, but it isn't possible right now. I think I've answered everyone of you questions. If not please let me know.

Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Interesting choice, seeing the comment about it being older I expected a pre-Nehalem CPU, not Sandy Bridge. Why MIPS and not ARM for future products? pgpbVaUS3irAR.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Hello Michał Masłowski :) Answering your question : Q: Why MIPS and not ARM for future products ? A: That is a good question. To be honest I didn't looked to much into ARM products for two reasons : 1 - For some reason I see MIPS more close to the actual architectures of our modern computer than ARM. And yes I know how this isn't right. 2 - MIPS as a well known support to Free Software thanks to the work (not exclusively) of Lemote. Because of this I think that there is a lot of work that can be done using this same base, and a lot of this work could be good for the Free Software community. Having a set of devices running on the same base, which already works only with Free Software, could be a good bet for future products using Free Software exclusively. But I haven't forgot ARM, and when the times comes I will see what is the best on this field to everyone. For now the only thing I can do is focus on what is already here : The LibreBox :) I hope I answered your questions well :)

[Trisquel-users] Is SyncThing FSF compliant?
I have been looking for a decentralised/secure/free (as in free speech) way to sync files between my computers. The closet I found a few months ago was BitTorrent Sync, but it's closed source. I have just discovered SyncThing. Anyone know if this software is FSF compliant? I'm guessing yes, but just wanted to confirm with you guys.
[Trisquel-users] Wi-Fi card with bluetooth that works with free software?
Recently I bought a new laptop to replace my now-dead Alienware M11x. My M11x had an Atheros wi-fi card (bought seperately and replaced the original) and a seperate bluetooth card that already worked fine. When I bought my new laptop, an ASUS Q501LA, everything worked except for the wi-fi card as it needed non-free firmware (Intel). So, I replaced it with the same Atheros card from my M11x and wi-fi was working fine. But, no bluetooth. I found out that the bluetooth was actually on the wi-fi card itself and not seperate like it was on my M11x, and so my new laptop doesn't have bluetooth, which I often used. Does anybody know of any wi-fi card that exists that has bluetooth and works with free software? I'd prefer not to use a USB dongle if possible.
Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Lemote support is relevant if you can get Loongson CPUs and want their outdated distros. Projects like WebKit and Mozilla have much more support for ARM and there are now standard SIMD instruction sets supported on ARM: there is existing video acceleration on CPU, while it's mostly missing on MIPS or supports only CPU extensions that Loongson doesn't have. For ARM there are many cheap development boards (single board computers) and many big companies contributing code for use in Android. GPU blobs will be an issue unless you choose some specific ARM chips with free reverse engineered drivers (or future Loongson CPUs which could use them). pgpHpCRDuBK5P.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wi-Fi card with bluetooth that works with free software?
You want a miniPCIe card with Atheros wifi and non-Atheros Bluetooth (since Atheros needs nonfree firmware). I don't know if there are such cards. pgpRVGLuH66NB.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is SyncThing FSF compliant?
It's in Parabola's repositories and I use it. So yes, it is free software.
Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Well ARM have the same problem as MIPS but with better support. The problem will always continue to be the GPU, even with the new Loongson CPU's with a better (existent at least) GPU Support it isn't free at all. Is is true that this is an explorable field for Free Software, but there are too many things blocking the way (mostly Blobs). I don't think it is impossible, but it need a further look at it. I think I will need to waste more time looking at both of them and looking at what is proposed in the ARM world right know. Personally I think that MIPS has a great future if it is improved and if it is oriented to Free Software, not only would this help the image of that almost unknown CPU but would also raise the search for it (which would provide better support and better features. As for the outdated OS, I don't think this is an issue, Free Software is always Free Software, and it is easier to solve by changing and updating an old OS which is Free rather than a new which isn't. But that's another point.
Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Hello Luis, first of all, I want to express my respect for what you did. Not only changing the university but also creating a company based on the idea of free software are tough decisions. I wish you the best of luck for your project and I'm really glad to see some competition in the hardware-for-free-software sector going on (don't want to call it free hardware since that's ambiguous). Sure, we have ThinkPinguin and they're doing a great job, but if we want the free software movement to grow then we need a healthy market instead of one company. I really hope that you succeed in freeing the bios and providing a modern (!) computer which can be used 100% in freedom. As you know, we don't have something like that at the moment and the whole community is waiting eagerly for such a product. Just one remark on the list of plans on your about-us page: In my view there is a huge gradient concerning the urgency of those projects for the free software world. Your plans concerning hardware are damn important, no doubt about that. I also respect your dream of a new desktop environment and of course you're free to create it, but be aware that there exists a huge amount of excellent free-software DEs already. Maybe you want to spend your time first on other points. Anyway, good luck.
Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Hello quantumgravity, Thank you for your support :) I am trying to do my best with what I can. Here in Portugal Free Software is almost non existent, and trying to work and provide good services under those conditions is really hard (and this without mention all of the crises histories which everyone seen on the news cutting everything from everywhere). My dream was a fully free software computer with the BIOS also free software as a final product, but I quickly noticed that something like that required more than knowledge, it required a huge financial need just for testing (I am not even talking about commercialization). The good news is that I only have the plans, I only have the tools, I just need more time and a growing company in order to be able to only sell computers with Free Software everywhere even on the BIOS (and why not using Intel modern CPU's like Intel i3, i5 or i7... but for now it just a dream. What I have in my hands is a beautiful piece of hardware with high possibilities to become Free Software and I will do everything I can to make it possible. As for ThinkPenguin, I already had the pleasure to talk directly to Chris (via email), I asked him for advises because I knew that, no one better than him would know how this market (if we can call this a market) works, and he gave me a lot of helpful advises. Starting everything from my own, and seeing with my own eyes the difficulty of running a business like this in a world like this make me understand how hard it is to anyone, even to him with the know-how that he has, to create and distribute a computer with a Free Bios and commercialize it. I make those plans because this is something I am already working on on my spare time. For me the Free Bios is the top 1 goal for now, but I don't have the perfect knowledge to make it work on my own, if I had it maybe things would be different. The problem for now is only that this company don't run alone, I have a full time job, but things may change quickly, when this time arrives, this goal may be closer than I thought.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wi-Fi card with bluetooth that works with free software?
It's really unfortunate that Atheros decides to have wi-fi cards that work with free software, but choose not to do the same for bluetooth.

Hi everybody i just recently got a thinkpad x60 with libreboot and trisquel installed. I made no changes to the system other than adding and removing some users and then rebooted. now the system wontboot (see the screenshot attached) - it just stalls there. I have created a bootable trisquel usb drive using a friends pc but i dont know how to boot to this from libreboot. can anyone offer advice? ideally i would like to just reinstall trisquel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Thank you very much for your effort Luis. I'm from Brazil, and the free software movement doesn't have much popularity here. Some people can tall me that I'm wrong, but I don't think so by seeing the majority of people actually using or advertising non-free operating systems or non-free software like GNU+Linux Ubuntu, GNU+Linux Debian, GNU+Linux Educacional, GNU+Linux RedHat Enterprise, GNU+Linux Fedora, and so on. Well, this just makes me uncomfortable with the situation, this uncomfortable feeling started in 2013, when I attended an event called Festival Latino-americano de Instalação de Software Livre (Latin American free software installation festival, in Brazilian Portuguese), since I soon found out that it wasn't about free software, but about open source software. This also happens with other popular events related to the open source software movement, like the Fórum Internacional de Software Livre (international forum for free software, in Brazilian Portuguese). Even Portal Software Livre (free software portal, in Brazilian Portuguese), which is a site from the Brazillian Government, sometimes promotes the use of non-free software. Also there is a site called Software Livre Brasil (free software Brazil, in Brazilian Portuguese) which serves as some kind of social network where users can join communities, receive certificates, post blog entries and so on. Even this site appears to promote non-free software. Doing a search one can find communities for some free operating systems, but they're apparently dead, including the one about the Linux-libre kernel. I created an account there, but removed it some months later after finding that out. And then we have the magazines, Espírito Livre (free spirit, in Brazilian Portuguese) is, perhaps, the most popular magazine about the open source software movement. Actually, I'm not the only one who noticed such problems (the ones described in the previous paragraphs), there are some people like Aracele Torres, Anahuac de Paula Gil, Alexandre Oliva and many others that I forgot unintentionally, that also noticed such problems. Unfortunately, I don't know them very well, not even did I meet them personally, in order to think about creating a company which promotes or uses only free software, or to start a project or event. Besides, I live too far from them, and I don't even have money to attend other events besides Festival Latino-americano de Instalação de Software Livre (I didn't even attend Fórum Internacional de Software Livre yet) Only considering forums and mailing lists for the free software movement, I'm only subscribed to most of the mailing lists at Free Software Latin America, in this mailing list, in the Minetest forums, and in this forum. That's all, because the others aren't reliable per see. Then there is the job market, where I'm struggling to get my first job, but find myself blocked by annoying requirements such as a driver's license (which I cannot have because I'm almost visually impaired due to other minor cerebral problem), programming knowledge (I don't like to program, sorry), Photoshop, Windows, Corel DRAW, Adobe Flash Professional, Microsoft Office, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe FrontPage, and so on. I do have certificates for most of these, but I don't feel confortable knowing that it's been five years since I received most of them, and I don't feel confortable mainly because I don't like to use a non-free program just for the sake of my stay at work. Then, back to the population as a whole, no matter how hard I try, most people don't listen to me when I explain the four essential freedoms every software user should have. I do have some successful cases like my aunt and my uncle who have GNU+Linux-libre Trisquel 6.0 installed in their computers, plus my lifetime support and my not-so-periodic system maintenance and update, an installation CD and a letter explaining the importance of free software, and, in the same letter, the link/URI to download the CD source code. I also explained the importance of the four essential freedoms to my cousin, and even did the same things I did to my aunt's notebook and my uncle's computer (upon her request of course), but since she's going to sell her notebook, and I didn't get the time to speak with her personally, I don't know if she likes it or not. I can't open a company because I don't have a job, so I don't have a cash income. And no, I'm not good at practical jobs like driving, cooking, waiting, laundry, and so on. Well, this is it. I hope some other Brazilian reads this. Best regards, ADFENO.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Removing services not needed - Need advice
While I appreciate the time you spent writing your reply, I think you misunderstood my purpose here. I am asking about services that USUALLY run in most (if not all) linux distros. Of course, some distros might have one or two slight changes, but in general services like ftp, ssh, telnet, ping, etc, are running in all linux distros. Hence, I believe this might be beneficial for people who want to try the same with Trisquel, AND, I believe I might get some usefull suggestions and contributions here. Both sides win, which is perfect for me. Since I already had an account here I choose to post it here first (might as well ask the same question there later, you have a point there). Of course, if you think this is not worthy of being posted here, I understand you will not try to give any more help and advice. I don't want to force anyone to participate, I'm just looking for help in this small project of mine. I would still like to know which services you usually shutdown that might reduce the amount of listening your computer does on the network. Thanks for your reply in advance.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Removing services not needed - Need advice
Of course, some distros might have one or two slight changes, but in general services like ftp, ssh, telnet, ping, etc, are running in all linux distros. Trisquel does not run a FTP server by default (it only ships with a client). 'telnet' is not installed by default either. 'ping' is not a server. Trisquel 6 runs a SSH server by default but Trisquel 7 will not. As for Debian, ask people running it.

Thank you for your clarification. Making a NetInstall might be a possibility, I will look into that later. One question regarding Trisquel, what services are listening in by default? In both Trisquel 6 and the future Trisquel 7. I remember someone once told me that only 4 services were running in default Trisquel installation (ssh server being one of them IIRC), but I couldn't find that post.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Laser Printer compatible with Trisquel or totally free distributions ?
ashok.biol...@mailoo.org wrote: On the website ThinkPenguin.Com I see that the only laser printer is a priori not compatible with Trisquel. I'd imagine any printer that can understand PostScript or PCL can work with CUPS (which is what I believe most GNU/Linux distributions use, including Trisquel). Is this not the case? The printer might not work via USB but would it be okay if the printer worked via network connection? Network hubs and switches are fairly inexpensive. As for avoiding tracking dots, DRMed toner cartridges, and proprietary firmware on the printer: - tracking dots: it looks like you already know about this issue. - DRMed toner cartridges: I recall Lexmark using DRMed ink cartridges in their ink printers, but I don't know if they do the same for laser toner. Then again, would it worth giving any business to an organization that treats anyone this way? - Proprietary firmware in the printer: is very hard to avoid, in my experience, as I don't know of any modern laser printer without proprietary firmware. I will try and find a reference for a problem I recently saw with one modern laser printer (a Samsung, if I recall).
Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreTrend - My Vision of Free Software
Does the LibreBox have any way of adding a graphics card, or is it stuck with Intel HD Graphics 2000 forever?
Re: [Trisquel-users] I accidently removed the battery indicator from my task bar
Thanks again -- it worked just as you said
