Re: [Trisquel-users] thinkpad x200 not external monitor not working
http://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_boot_installer.html i think its because libreboot's grub payload tries to parse ISOLINUX boot-loaders(a bootloader lots of distros use the live usb/cd/dvd's) when booting from a usb or cd/dvd drive and some times it may fail?... you can almost certainly boot anything with a linux kernel on libreboot but you have to it manualy please correct me if i am wrong
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Who guarantees you that nothing was added to the deb? i wonder if there’s some kind of checksum a compiler can generate when there’s specific source code that you can compare to the binary? anyone tried this before?

Re: [Trisquel-users] XFCE Tiling/Cascading Windows
It's called xmonad! :D
Re: [Trisquel-users] XFCE Tiling/Cascading Windows
I am fine with the xfwm really, I just want to make it do what I want it to do, lol.
Re: [Trisquel-users] thinkpad x200 not external monitor not working
if your running any gnu/linux distro it will work for flashing its just some are a bit harder to boot if your booting from a usb stick if its already on the hard-drive you will have no problems
Re: [Trisquel-users] XFCE Tiling/Cascading Windows
If I were to replace xfwm with xmonad, would I still have my windows themed the way I want them, or are the themes only for xfwm? grimlok
Re: [Trisquel-users] gcc5
i cant see it in the repo's so i think you will have to compile from source: http://gcc.parentingamerica.com/releases/gcc-5.1.0/gcc-5.1.0.tar.bz2 do you know how to compile it?
[Trisquel-users] gcc5
hi all I want install gcc5 Is there any deb repository? or must I build it from source???
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7.0 Questions
What would that do?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Portuguese-language forum please
Why not? Additional language categories shouldn't cost anything; what are the disadvantages of creating a new one?
Re: [Trisquel-users] thinkpad x200 not external monitor not working
Great! Thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] XFCE Tiling/Cascading Windows
You would retain your window settings as long as the xfsettingsd daemon is still running.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Portuguese-language forum please
Are there any active admins or mods that can make this happen?
Re: [Trisquel-users] gcc5
It's in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test?field.series_filter=trusty . (It calls itself restricted, whatever that might mean, but if you just take GNU it's going to surely be entirely free, right?)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7.0 Questions
QT apps (i.e. VLC) will look better or otherwise match the GTK+ theme you're using.
[Trisquel-users] Does Vimeo run non-free Javascript??
When I visit Vimeo's front page with IceCat, the video thumbnails don't show, but the video frames and titles show. vimeo.com When I click on one of those videos, it goes to a page dedicated to that video. The video works fine there. But I don't know whether the page runs proprieatry Javascript ... does anyone know? https://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/128544536
Re: [Trisquel-users] Portuguese-language forum please
go to IRC #trisquel on freenode and ask quidam.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does Vimeo run non-free Javascript??
That video played fine for me and I'm running very stringent Icecat, private browsing, librejs enforced, etc.
Re: [Trisquel-users] gcc5
THNX do you know how to compile it? Yes I did it more than once
Re: [Trisquel-users] gcc5
It calls itself restricted, whatever that might mean That's apparently supported non-free software per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_os#Package_classification_and_support
[Trisquel-users] When is this site moving to HHVM for the backend?
http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=HHVM-Lockdown-Perf-PHP7 Since this site uses Drupal and other PHP code, has there been any thought in moving the site over to HHVM if you haven't already? The performance improvements are crazy. https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Prebuilt%20Packages%20for%20HHVM
Re: [Trisquel-users] gcc5
but if you just take GNU it's going to surely be entirely free, right? well yes
Re: [Trisquel-users] Portuguese-language forum please
i was just thinking if we have say 15 languages then it would crowed the fourm area also as we dont have that many users yet it would make sense to just have a other languages fourm as it would not exactly get crowded
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel as a server os
out of interest in what way is nginx better than apache2?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel as a server os
Just use nginx. You can get the latest stable for Trisquel 6 and 7 from https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does Vimeo run non-free Javascript??
This FSF page says that Vimeo has the same problem as YouTube's HTML5 option. I suppose that means that the video format is potentially libre, and the video player is proprieatry. The FSF's comment about Vimeo was added sometime between Dec 2014 and March 2015. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/whats-wrong-with-youtube.html https://web.archive.org/web/20150316095029/http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/whats-wrong-with-youtube.html
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does Vimeo run non-free Javascript??
I get a Sorry: This Video Does Not Exist message on every video with JS disabled. I just use youtube-dl to download the video. https://yt-dl.org/
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
What you're looking for is reproducible builds, which result in the same exact binary every time you compile. I know that Tor Browser uses reproducible builds.
Re: [Trisquel-users] thinkpad x200 not external monitor not working
What if you flash libreboot from a distro like Ututo, would it work? Or does libreboot require Trisquel/Parabola to work?
[Trisquel-users] XFCE Tiling/Cascading Windows
Hello all, I was wondering, for those of you who have some XFCE experience, if there was a way to make XFCE's window manager open each new window side by side instead of directly on top of each other. I would even go for a cascading effect if that's all I could do. Note: The problem may be how I have set up my desktop. I have a '.desktop' file called Program Manager that I open which opens up to another folder with other '.desktop' files which point to other folders with other '.desktop' files. Each one opens in a new window but they just stack on top of each other in the center of the screen. Thanks again, grimlok
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7.0 Questions
grimlok: XFCE is grr8! I think it would look better if you installed the package qt4-qtconfig and then set the gui style to GTK. cheers
