Re: [Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 7][KDE] Can't apply theme
I am writing about selecting oxygen or qtcurve in kde system settings and after that, new opened windows of dolphin are using the gtk theme, like mist or clearlooks or whatever is set with lxappeareance. Basically the kde/qt apps (dolphin) are using the gtk theme set with lxappearence. After playing around I noticed that this behavior does not affect other users exept the one created at install, for 1002 1003 seems fine. Don't know what to take from this.

gnash is a important project but arent the majoraty of flash programs non-free? dose libre-actionscript need to be made? although if you have to use flash then its much better to use gnash than the horrible adobe program

You must have in ~ a configuration file that is the cause of your problem.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Review of FSF High Priority Projects list -- your input is needed
I don't think your proposal is wrong, I just think that it can't solve the problem. My proposal is a mixture of 1. your proposal (writing as many userscript replacements as possible) 2. stallman's proposal (trying to convince as many server owners to release their code as free javascript; i know that you're concerned about the scripts being executed without the users consent, but this could be solved with an addon which asks the user for confirmation to run script xy in version wz; he could agree to run the free scripts of the most visited websites with somekind of whitelist) 3. live without javascript if point 1 and 2 didn't work out, or make somekind of workaround (element inspector) 4. make a compromise for the rest (just like we do with non-free bios) Web-technology evolves quickly and chances might be decent that a new technology will make javascript disappear... like it happens with flash to some extent at the moment. I have to say that I gave it some thought and that i'm not so pessimistic about your proposal anymore. I mean there exist already a lot of userscripts and they modify a huge bunch of websites... unfortunately not for freedom's sake. Still I think that we need to combine all the means we have right now and then we need a bit of luck...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Re : [Trisquel 7][KDE] Can't apply theme
Yes, that should be true; all thou I haven't identified it yet, I assume is an artifact from logging in with trisquel mini after finishing the installation. I'm glad that it was something I missed and not a bug.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Review of FSF High Priority Projects list -- your input is needed
Sure, of course there is much more needed than just replacing Skype to really free a computer but it would be a tremendous step forward. The problem of convincing all your friends is a very common one. I had to deal with it many times before because usually the majority of people goes with the most convenient solution and not with the one providoing the most freedom. Furthermore, I agree that installing coreboot is non-trivial but this is where smart business people could jump in by providing pre-installed and pre-configured motherboards.
[Trisquel-users] Kodi 14.0 Helix Unwinds
i just did a apt-get update and my xbmc updated to kodi !! Kodi 14.0 Helix Unwinds hit stable version and was released today yea :)

How is it compared to gotham (and is the launch executable the same?)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire laptop too dark
Do, didn't do any updates. Agreed, i'll try that. The laptop display is so hard to read when in that state, I'll use an external monitor to get updates. Thanks Mzee.
[Trisquel-users] Re : How to share files with ChatZilla ?
Mibbit basically uses IRC. You can register a nick name using the IRC services, see `/msg NickServ help` for information. For sharing files, you would use DCC, but this requires a compatible client and port forwarding.
[Trisquel-users] Translating the installer texts
Hello, In French, some of the welcome texts (in the Ubiquity installer) are not translated. Where can I help translate them?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Kodi 14.0 Helix Unwinds
http://kodi.tv/kodi-14-0-helix-unwinds/ there you can read the improvements. it feels a little snappier on my atom slow box.. It is the same old xbmc with a new name and theme and some improvements (mainly the codecs) xbmc, pardon, kodi rocks! and by the way I'd like to know one thing - does anybody know if the mushup addon is free software? it's a hell of a plugin but I couldn't find the source code anywhere..
Re: [Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire laptop too dark
Few things you could try is another *Linux-libre kernel, e.g. a binary from http://www.jxself.org/linux-libre/ If this helps and you'd be willing to dig deeper you could compare the kernel configs to see what they do differently (although this will likely be a long list) *free distro from https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html if this helps then we'd at least know it's possible in the free world.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Acer Aspire laptop too dark
The updates installed. I was embarrased to find that the brightness could be adjusted in the settings panel, but the setting only lasts the one session. Next boot it comes on darkened, the brighness 'slider' at 0. I find if the brightness is as it should be, mine looks ok at about 60%, if I then boot into Windows it is the same. Doesn't his indicate that something is happening at the hardware level? It seems to be an issue relating to laptops only, and admittedly this is the first time i've installed Linux on anything other than a desktop machine. I've seen this or similar issues in forums elsewhere, dating back to 2011. Users say older kernels did not produce this issue, that it appeared somewhere between 2.6 3 versions. Not overly concerned about a solution, but if one should happen along, i'd like to try to implement it.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Translating the installer texts
Hello! I think you have to (or rather you'd better to) translate it via Launchpad as the project is hosted there (including translations). Here is the link to the translations: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity. And thanks in advance for translating it into french! ;) PS: You can choose the version at the bottom of the page (Trisquel 7 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 and Trisquel 6 on Ubuntu 12.04). PS 2: I see that the translation is complete for Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04. If you still have untranslated strings, it might be because of strings that have not been configured as to be translated. If this is the case, you should probably report a bug about this.

[Trisquel-users] [OT] Fetching BBC Radio Programs with get-iplayer?
I wish to fetch an episode of a radio drama that was broadcast on Radio 4 last night, according to the schedule. Last week, I gave the command, get-player Good Omens --future and got numbers that, I believe, correspond to the 6 episodes in the series. Today, I tried get-iplayer --get 12130 this is supposed to be the first episode. Program came back 'no matches'. Now, any searches for Good Omens come back 'no matches'. Did BBC pull the program, or, am I doing something wrong? Thanks, -Dave
[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 cannot detect the mic on my Libreboot Thinkpad X60.
Or any other mic for that matter. It's a fresh install of Trisquel 7. It can't detect the mic in the Thinkpad or the mic in my logitech webcam. Sound settings shows nothing on the input levels and sound recorder does not get anything. Can someone please help me? I don't know what to do.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 cannot detect the mic on my Libreboot Thinkpad X60.
Older versions of GNOME had a hardware tab that allowed you to manually select what hardware to use. That was removed at some point between 3.4 and 3.10. I understand why they did it (because ideally GNOME should be able to figure out what to use automatically), but I do wish they'd left in an easy way to manually override this... I suppose the way to do it now is to change something in the dconf Editor, but I don't know what.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 cannot detect the mic on my Libreboot Thinkpad X60.

[Trisquel-users] Free Software to Securely Erase a Hard Drive
Is there a free software program to securely erase/wipe a hard drive?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software to Securely Erase a Hard Drive
The command is shred. It's part of coreutils; a basic command of the system. If you want a graphical frontend, you can install the nautilus-wipe package to add wipe menu entries to GNOME's file manager.
Re: [Trisquel-users] If Chromebooks retail for $250 and have free-BIOSes ...
It's probably not possible at this time. There may be some potential candidates around the corner that it may be possible to totally free (at least the core board, ie not necessarily including hard drives, etc). There are issues with the wifi being integrated on most of the chromebooks. If you can't replace the wifi its a no-go as all the integrated chips (like ath6k) are dependent on non-free firmware. If we can find an upcoming model with a particular set of chipsets now shipping and also has a mini pcie half height slot (some do) then it might be possible to free one. These would potentially be better potential candidates I feel than other systems being worked on right now.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless N USB Adapter (TPE-N150USB)
The N USB just went out on me, unfortunetly just before I got to the new firmware. It had the same symptoms as the last few times. Fortunately, I have the G and it is working fine. It has really great reception too. Should I use the new firmware with the G, or should I stick with the older firmware? Or is that firmware only for the N?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Home Directory in Dedicated Partition, Pros Cons?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Home Directory in Dedicated Partition, Pros Cons?
I didn't remember seeing a seperate partition when installing. I used rEFIT when installing dualboot, following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation#Dual-Boot:_Mac_OSX_and_Ubuntu Could mine being on the same partition be because I installed a Dualboot with Mac OSX? If a seperate partition is the default, then it will make it much easier if I reformat with Trisquel as my primary install.
