Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Beta Issues
I used LinuxMint17 and something I liked about it was the ability to encrypt with a password the start up as well as the user password and the home folder. Can you please do this on your new 7. PLEASE.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Beta Issues
I can answer No 2, Yes, Ice cat is now the default browser as maintaining A-browser was a little ineffcieint as it was duplicating work that Ice cat had already done. Better to just put all efforts into a single program when possible.

[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Preventing Orca from launching automatically
Hello, Another solution that worked for me is to remove or change the '.desktop' extension of the following file: /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/orca-screen-reader.desktop To do so, open a terminal (right-clic on the desktop - clic 'Open in terminal') and type in cd /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow sudo mv orca-screen-reader.desktop orca-screen-reader.desktop.bkp then type your password when asked for.

Re: [Trisquel-users] NSA able to target offline computers using radio-waves for surveillance
And what about the Libreboot X60 laptop? It may provide more security in case of hardware backdoors (related to firmware), doesn't it? However I do not understand very much about these kind of issues...
Re: [Trisquel-users] NSA able to target offline computers using radio-waves for surveillance
Interesting video. But - why are the laptop lids closed? The detected typing is done very slowly and deliberately - does that mean that normal typing would overwhelm the system? On the face of it, it does look like worst fears may be true. But it could just as easily be faked to appear that way.
[Trisquel-users] GNOME 3 Installation How to
I have a fresh install of Trisquel 6.0.1 and I want to install GNOME 3. I got this from an old post (https://trisquel.info/en/forum/gnome-3-trisquel-6#comment-28627): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gnome-session and some instructions from here () ragarding PPA: Before upgrading your system to a new Ubuntu release (i.e. from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10), you should probably run ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 first. *** You need to run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to avoid problems. *** Please read the output before entering 'Y' to make sure important packages won't be removed. What I do not understand is: 1) aptitude full-upgrade 2) install gnome 3 ppa and then gnome-session or 1) install gnome 3 ppa and then gnome-session 2) aptitude full-upgrade

Re: [Trisquel-users] finding particular pages within PDFs
I imagine that there's a lot that people can do with tools like this. I opened a documentation page for it here: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/information-processing I don't know whether Information Processing is the most appropriate name. If there's a better name, please open a new page, and I can ask SirGrant to delete the Information Processing page.

Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME 3 Installation How to
I installed gnome-session and gnome-shell from default repos and then did aptitude full-upgrade and rebooted and GNOME displays in GDM drop-down list too but on selecting it for login GDM says can not launch gnome . So no luck with GNOME 3 in default repos :( . I will do tho PPA method.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME 3 Installation How to
Do you have 3-D acceleration? You need that for GNOME Shell 3.4. Otherwise, you'll have to until you upgrade to Trisquel 7 to use it.

I complemented the documentation page a little.

Alright but there is no Icecat in the repo; Once you remove it, it is gone; then you can only download the abrowser which is also outdated one.
Re: [Trisquel-users] finding particular pages within PDFs
My first run of the script was successful, and I now have a basename-matches PDF. I renamed the match file to word-word-#ofhits.pdf I run the script a second time, on that basename-matches PDF (word-word-#ofhits.pdf), to achieve the and functionality. Unfortunatley, on this second run, I don't don't seem to get a new match file at the end. I tred twice -- for the first And run, I got thousands of hits, and no match file. The second time, I searched for something more rare, got 180 hits, but no match file in the end. Any ideas on why this could be happening? This is the terminal message I see at the end: pdfunite version 0.24.5 Copyright 2005-2013 The Poppler Developers - http://poppler.freedesktop.org Copyright 1996-2011 Glyph Cog, LLC Usage: pdfunite [options] .. -v : print copyright and version info -h : print usage information -help : print usage information --help : print usage information -? : print usage information 1 matching PDFs Output written to basename-matches.pdf
[Trisquel-users] Re : finding particular pages within PDFs
Here is what was happening: 'pdfunit' expects *several* PDFs to unite. Not one. I corrected the problem (when one single PDF matches, the script uses 'mv'): http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/en/utilities.html#pdf-page-grep
Re: [Trisquel-users] finding particular pages within PDFs
Trisquel comes with programs like mv and pdfunite right? Do most gnu users (like me until very recently) have them on the computer and not use them? Or do popular GUI programs depend on these kinds of programs to do things (like export to pdf in LibreOffice)?
[Trisquel-users] Re : finding particular pages within PDFs
'mv' really is a basic command to move files (notice that moving to the same directory but under a different name actually is renaming). It has been present in every UNIX or UNIX-inspired system since the seventies. The commands provided by the Poppler project (the poppler-utils package in Trisquel) are present in Trisquel by default. The reason is that CUPS, the printing system, depends on those commands. I therefore assume it uses them (probably to convert PDF to PostScript for printers that do not support direct PDF printing).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Beta Issues
It seems people expect Trisquel 7 to be fully polished and functional. People, please remember these two points: 1. Trisquel 7 is not finished yet. 2. If you find stuff missing/incomplete/outdated/whatever else see point 1.
