Re: [Trisquel-users] Configuring Openbox
Hello everybody. I managed to install Tint2 and Nitrogen. I have already put the nitrogen in the autostart file, thus entering the Openbox already appears the taskbar. Regarding the Nitrogen are you not showing the options to Add any wallpaper. When you open the wallpaper with folder, does not options.

Hello Adfeno. Just like me there are already several Brazilians who already use Trisquel in Brazil. Hugs.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Questions on old programming languages
RMS's preferred language, lisp. The most powerful programming language is Lisp. If you don't know Lisp (or its variant, Scheme), you don't know what it means for a programming language to be powerful and elegant. Once you learn Lisp, you will understand what is lacking in most other languages. https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html

if you like old languages FORTRAN is a good one its from the 1950's and the code is fairly easy to read and its similar to BASIC heres some resources: to install a fortran compiler use sudo apt-get install gfortran and to use the compiler gfortran program.f08 also some tutoirals general fortran: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMYDnuotCSMXV0Yk6nJBQF4sqzI8GjfBj how to mix fortran with c: calling c from fortran: http://92.19.232.58:82/videos/fortran_tutorials/html/ftrn_tut_11.html calling fortran from c: http://92.19.232.58:82/videos/fortran_tutorials/html/ftrn_tut_12.html
Re: [Trisquel-users] X60 Libreboot Trisquel 7 Overheating
hey, i've been continously searching for a solution to the heat problem. it seems that playing music, watching videos, visiting websites that uses alot javascript, makes the temperature of 1 CPU core to rise dramatically, while the other core remain ~constant in temperature. i've always had a temperature issue with my thinkpad x60 on Linux, though on Windows i installed a software from lenovo that fixed everything, so i am certain it is possible to fix this heat issue on Linux too. currently i've managed to decrease the temperature maybe 10-15 degrees celsius, but it still rises to 70~90 during said activities. i've scoured the net for settings that got the potential to decrease temperature. success? not really very much. i've come to a final resort, which is to look at the appropriate kernel modules's source code for documentation about how they work and their different power saving settings. i might do this when i have time. i would hope though that someone would already have a plain text file documenting these settings, hopefully and most likely can they all be interfaced by /sys/ and/or /proc/ or as arguments to the modules. away from that, my previous 'scouring' have had some effect. namely i randomly managed to disable the high pitched noise during an attempt to decrease temperature by interfacing /sys/ and /proc/. i was surprised because before i used powertop --auto-tune to disable the noise, and that rendered the noise into effect again when plugging in certain (not wifi nor external hard drive, but soundcard and audio player) usb devices (powertop also disabled power supply to them, when i called powertop --auto-tune after plugging them in). i've not tested which line(s) in that script that had this effect, when i get time i might. it would maybe be useful to know for the coreboot developers. i have assembled this script from various sources, but i cannot remember them all. i wish there were a complete reference and explanation of the /sys/ and /proc/ interfaces, but i am sure the needed information can be obtained by reading the kernel/module sources (if not, then who has the knowledge? is it forgotten?). my experience with power management on Linux, is that it sucks, with or without coreboot. that is, atleast out of the box. i'm just thinking some configuration must be done. one useful thing regarding decrease of temperature that i've come across is fan control. on my debian os it was not enabled by default. i had to pass fan_control=1 to the thinkpad_acpi module, # modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 then it would be possible to interface /proc/acpi/ibm/fan, # echo level full-speed /proc/acpi/ibm/fan #set fan speed to maximum # echo level auto /proc/acpi/ibm/fan #automatically controlled # cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan #you will see a numberical value, 0-X # echo level X /proc/acpi/ibm/fan #X is the numerical value with the settings in this file and fan speed at maximum, running, $ nice -n 19 mplayer video.mp4 the *one* core temperature starts out at ~45, gradually very slowly but surely reaches up to ~90 celsius after a while. note that the other core will stay at a nearly constant ~45 celsius. then when the process, mplayer, exits, then the temperature will almost rapibly decrease. in a few minutes, the core temperature will be back at ~45 celsius. i think this is weird, just seems like it has to do with how Linux handles the cpu frequency, not some inherent hardware issue nor a lack of capability to prevent it. i will maybe try out different cpufreq drivers and recompile my kernel in detail, then i will report back results. if that won't work then my only solution is to delve into the kernel/module sources... and i'm just a darn amateur who is clueless. ASLO: trisquel.info does not work well with webkit (it does not render well at all, everything is line wrapped at like 300 pixels and you cannot see complete posts, words are invisible!) in neither uzbl, luakit, vimb, etc. I would appreciate if you disabled this fancy page style, whatever it is that is causing it.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel logs out without any (obvious) reason
If that is it, set that parameter up from Brightness and lock in the System settings. If the display manager really terminates abruptly, log in a real terminal (that you can get with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+F2 or ... or Ctrl+Alt+F6), where you can use Emacs by the way, and take a look at the relevant logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/lightdm/*.log if you use LightDM, /var/log/gdm/*.log if you use GDM, etc.).

Aaah man. Well hey. I don't mind just using the console interface. For now, we can try get a CPU centric port going and temporarily forget aboutbthe nonfree GPU problem, and not inlcide the nonfree GPU drivers until a laterbstage when that can be ported. I just want a free Pi. :D Cause I

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
sadly i think the pi uses the gpu to start the main cpu so theres no way to run it with all libre software but there is a computer called the beaglebone that seems good that you can run with entirely libre software and its a higher spec than the pi: http://beagleboard.org/bone http://beagleboard.org/black
[Trisquel-users] Re : Questions on old programming languages
Lisp is very different from the other languages mentioned in this thread (C, Pascal, Fortran, etc.): it is a functional language, not an imperative language. If you do not know the functional paradigm, then Lisp will be harder to enter but it will be far more instructive too: you will learn a significantly different way to program.
[Trisquel-users] Questions on old programming languages
I was wondering about learning a very old language. Something besides C. I was thinking of Lisp. Is that agiod choice. I also saw Pascal and seemed to like it a lot, well not a lot, just the way that methods/functions ate enclosed.

What software doesbthe Trisquel site use for running its forums? Also it anyone knows, do they run their site on a Trisquel server?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Questions on old programming languages
Any particular reason you want the language to be old? There's nothing wrong with using an old language (as long as there's a libre compiler or interpreter available for you to use), but I'm curious as to why.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
First, we need more free-as-in-freedom drivers, then we can ask to Rubén and the others to port the majority of the packages to ARM.

Re: [Trisquel-users] X60 Libreboot Trisquel 7 Overheating
Here's some random thoughts on overheating. One bandaid might be the cpufreqd package. It allows you to monkey with cpu freq depending on circumstances like temperature, cpu usage and running programs. The manual page for cpufreqd.conf will get you started. Physically removing dust helps but opening laptops is a b*tch and probably that's by design... If you use a vacuum cleaner, be careful not to allow the fans to spin (too fast), it might damage their bearings. In a similar Captain Obvious vein removing unused hardware, kernel modules and programs helps. I guess a custom kernel might help at least a little bit even just by setting your CPU type instead of generic. Probably a kernel whiz could do wonders. It also might be possible to underclock/volt your CPU (in the BIOS) and GPU (for AMD cards, see package rovclock). I suggest NoScript for primarily freedom and security issues but it also helps here.
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Thinkpad X60 Keyboard Problem
Ok so my only option is to manually remap my keys? But why will it work like a charm on a live system and only cause trouble after installing it to the hard drive? Would it not be possible to copy the config from the live system for convenience sake? Sorry but I am still plenty inexperienced with gnu/linux. Cheers
[Trisquel-users] Trisquel logs out without any (obvious) reason
Big trouble today : anytime I log in, my dear Trisquel Linux pushes me out and I'm back to the log screen after a minute or so. Keeping my hands off the keyboard doesn't help at all, meaning: it just keeps happening again and again, even when I'm not doing anything. It also seems to kill all my jobs. Well, it's pretty difficult to check anything actually since it goes on the same tricky way every time. I've been using Trisquel for a year or so on this machine and it worked just fine. I did shut it down and restart it but it seemed to be hopelessly pointless. Usage: quite simple. Any time I log in, I would get a terminal emulator, move to my favorite folder, I would launch emacs and go #include

[Trisquel-users] Trisquel for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
I was wondering if it is possible for a port to be made for Trisquel to run on the RaspberryPi 2 Model B as the new Pi has much more processing power than its predecessors. Or is it possible for Trisquel Mini to simply run in Raspberry Pi 2 Model B as if currently?
