[Trisquel-users] Re : How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
There is no need to compile. The wanted .deb package can be downloaded from https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi/debian/ and installed (with 'sudo dpkg -i' or graphically with GDebi). The package creates /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi.list, hence an automatic upgrade whenever a new version is released.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
My rule is: whatever software external to the OS repository goes compiled! I don't trust external debs becuse I'm maaad and paranoid :P
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Yes Trisk Spellian - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760853
[Trisquel-users] Re : How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Jetsi's .deb packages are provided by the same developers who cook the source code you compile. You need not trust any third person.
[Trisquel-users] Upcomig Events: SouthEast [GNU]LinuxFest (North Carolina) PorcFest (New Hampshire)
We're going to be participating in two upcoming events and I'd like to peak peoples interest in them. The one is a typical [GNU]Linux event in the south east United States: The SouthEast [GNU]/Linux Fest. The other is a really fun week long festival of liberty-minded activists called PorcFest held annually in northern New Hampshire. PorcFest is a very different kinda of event than we're use to attending. It attracts a large crowd of liberty-oriented people of which most know little to nothing about free software. Despite that this group tends to be very open to the ideas of the free software community and there are already a number of free software advocates within this group. Some very technical people at that. For example one of the leading people in the BitCoin world gets involved at this event. There are around 20,000 participants in the larger Free State Project and about 2000 attending this event (PorcFest). For those who don't know the Free State Project itself is a project to attract 20,000 liberty-minded activists to New Hampshire. Seth King from the Daily Anarchist for example did an excellent presentation on free software last year. It was geared toward this less technical liberty-oriented crowd and the talk was titled: Free Software is for Freedom Lovers: https://dailyanarchist.com/2015/02/13/free-software-is-for-freedom-lovers/ While he won't be doing a presentation on free software this year we're hoping to take over where he left off. If anybody else is attending PorcFest and interested in helping we could certainly use it! The talk will be on encryption and use of GPG in particular. We'll be working with Adam Leibson (previously employed @ ThinkPenguin and now interning at the Free Software Foundation) on this and hopefully a few other free software advocates (whoever we can attract). We'll be using the great resources created and made available by the Free Software Foundation: The Email Self-Defense Guide https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/ PorcFest is going on June 21–28, 2015 at Roger’s Campground, Lancaster, NH. You don't have to attend the entire week, but you'll probably want to if you can. The event is a lot of fun! With parties, camping, bond fires, political and technical talks (BitCoin is huge a the event), vending (think free markets), and more. The SouthEast [GNU]LinuxFest is being held June 12-14, 2015 at the Sheraton Charlotte Airport Hotel, Charlotte, NC. We'll have a table at the event. Bob will not be giving a talk on LibreCMC or anything else at this event- or the other for that matter. Sorry. You can though get the video online though of one of the talks he gave on LibreCMC at the NorthWest [GNU]LinuxFest event. I think I posted a link on the forums once before anyway if anybody wants to go back and watch it.
[Trisquel-users] Re : How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Nothing there mentions a freedom issue. Only an incompatibility with the version of a dependency that currently is in Debian's repository.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Do you have any idea why it's no longer in Debain 8 repo? It's also not in Ubuntu Vivid. I'm worried that maybe some part of Jitsi is no longer free software or something.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
compile it! Jitsi wasn't included in Debian 8. I had to compile it. Sid's version is 2.4. The latest stable source code is 2.8.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU Savannah Package Name
The server software Savannah uses is called Savane: http://gna.org/p/savane Or rather, Savannah uses a fork of Savane, found here: https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/administration/
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU Savannah Package Name
So I should be doing an apt-get install savane

Savane is not available in the repositories. You have to install it manually.

Okay. :D
[Trisquel-users] EMAIL SELF-DEFENSE @ PorcFest 2015
It's official. Adam Leibson's giving a talk at PorcFest. I've posted the info here: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/blog. The talk is going to include a bit on free software even though the talk itself isn't primarily on it. What it comes down to is you can't secure a system that you don't know what is going on under the hood. The main talk is on GnuPG and email encryption. There will be a number of free software advocates there (including us) assisting in getting people setup with GnuPG.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Upcomig Events: SouthEast [GNU]LinuxFest (North Carolina) PorcFest (New Hampshire)
Yeah, I mean the Free Software is for Freedom Lovers talk.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Upcomig Events: SouthEast [GNU]LinuxFest (North Carolina) PorcFest (New Hampshire)
Nice! :) I like how in the talk he avoided some of the lingo to make it more understandable for the general public.
Re: [Trisquel-users] VP9 not working with VLC
Thanks for your reply, I found the solution. First I did apt-get build-dep vlc. Then I installed libvpx-dev and compiled it from latest source and that's it.
[Trisquel-users] Portuguese-language forum please
As of yet there is no support forum for Portuguese-speaking Trisquel users anywhere on the web. Can we please create one? :)
[Trisquel-users] Wireless Network Card
Hi all, My first post... so I hope this is the right place for such queries. I'm having trouble getting my system to recognize the presence of the wireless network card. I'm running trisquel 7, kernel 3.16 on a libreboot x200 with an atheros AR5B95 card. ifconfig output only displays eth0 and lspci is only showing the ethernet controller. The network card is not being displayed. I've installed the firmware packages: atheros-firmware, firmware-carl9170, open-ath9k-htc-firmware I've also opened up the laptop physically removed the card and re-installed to ensure everything was secure. No issues there. And help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless Network Card
If absolutely nothing else works, consider getting a wireless adapter compatible with free software: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/catalog/wireless-networking-gnulinux
[Trisquel-users] Nouveau and dual-monitor setup in Trisquel 7 (help)
Hi, I'm totally new to Trisquel, and having a hell of a time trying to figure out the display settings. Despite working with a practically-clean install (installed from disk, ran updates, rebooted a few times with no problems), Nouveau isn't working in the slightest. The GPU is an nVidia GTX 750 Ti, which the system seems to recognize according to lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] [10de:1380] (rev a2) I made sure the 'xserver-xorg-video-nouveau' package was installed though Synaptic, then edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include: Section Device Identifier nvidia Driver nouveau EndSection However, even after rebooting, that didn't work, and I can still only use a single display (as a 'Built-in Display' in 1024x768). Additionally, a peek into the Xorg.0.log file includes the line: (II) NOUVEAU driver Date: Thu Nov 7 14:56:48 2013 +1000 And further down, shows that it loaded the generic VESA driver instead. That seems to indicate that it's trying to use an old version that doesn't support the 750 Ti, even though the latest version was installed through Synaptic. Ideally, of course, I'd like to use both displays at their native resolutions. Searches for old topics on this matter haven't been very helpful; it seems that most people have no trouble with this, and the above steps work even if they do. What could I be missing? (Also, apologies for the lack of formatting, but '[code][/code]' doesn't seem to work and I can't guess what the actual tags are.)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel as a server os
Will do. Thanks
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless Network Card
If the laptop was bought from Gluglug (which the OP suggests by calling the laptop a Libreboot X200), then not working wireless would suggest either a mistake or broken hardware. So in that case, Gluglug should be contacted to resolve the problem.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless Network Card
Did you try toggling the switch on the left side of the machine? Does it show up with ifconfig -a ?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless Network Card
I'm imagining your talking about performance when you say its age. The problems with older systems tend to be less related to performance (even if that is an issue due to your use cases) and more with failing parts. Refurbished stuff in particular. I'm not going to jump to conclusions the wifi is failing here. I suspect its a user-related issue (is the wifi on- you might have an on/off switch and/or FN key that you need to hold down whiling pressing one of the F1-F12 keys which have a wifi symbol). Replacing the wifi card won't solve this problem unless it really is a bad wifi card.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Upcomig Events: SouthEast [GNU]LinuxFest (North Carolina) PorcFest (New Hampshire)
I think he's talking about the linked video: Free Software is for Freedom Lovers... Seth definitely did a great job. Just don't tell RMS as he did blow over the free software vs open source part. I think he did a really good job at getting the message across and making it clear how even non-technical users can easily participate in the free software movement (as users).
