Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
Honestly, I think the question of interest is why it was enabled by default in Trisquel 6. That wasn't the case in Trisquel 5.5 (the first version of Trisquel I used), and I'd wager to guess that wasn't the case in any of the earlier versions either. So Trisquel 7 is just continuing the previous status quo. One guess I have is that using Compiz by default (and falling back to Metacity, because remember, Compiz requires hardware acceleration) was an experiment, and deemed a failure because of problems it caused, or something along those lines. Compiz, after all, is quite an advanced window manager, so if you're going to use it, you should probably be using it on purpose.

now I test MATE +1 to MATE
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
It's still available, just not used by default (as was the case for most distros that used GNOME 2).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
Honestly, I think the question of interest is why it was enabled by default in Trisquel 6. I don't know. It was? I remember that was installed by default, but not that was enabled by default too. If I remember correctly, Trisquel 4 also had Compiz installed by default. One guess I have is that using Compiz by default (and falling back to Metacity, because remember, Compiz requires hardware acceleration) Using Compiz by default and falling back on something else if fails would be a bad idea anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
Version 4 was my favorite as well. Excellent theme, icons, and an overall level of polish. I loved the level of opacity on the bottom panel and the menu. It was so pretty that I instantly installed it on my brother's laptop which thankfully worked out of the box (video, audio, wireless) and he could surf the web, listen to music, and write documents for school in LibreOffice with no hassle. I'm a very visual person and I can honestly say that the Gnome 2 based Trisquels were on par with the non-free ones in look and feel. The magic was lost with Trisquel 6 onwards as we lost most of the visual flair and I couldn't customize my desktop as easily. Now that MATE is supported and ready to shine, its time to seriously consider it default or at least offer it as another ISO alongside the regular and mini versions.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
I heard that from a GNOME developer at a conference. I do not remember the details. I guess it has to do with things like closing the lid of your laptop (what suspends it by default) while the system is shutting down. If you have ever tried that with Trisquel (which currently uses ConsoleKit), you have probably discovered that the system may be stuck and need a hard reboot. logind brings cool new features too. Multi-seat (many screens, keyboards, mouses, etc. for one single machine) for instance. According to https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/systemd/writing-display-managers/ : systemd's logind service obsoletes ConsoleKit which was previously widely used on Linux distributions. For X11 display managers the switch to logind requires a minimal amount of porting, however brings a couple of new features: true automatic multi-seat support, proper tracking of session processes, (optional) automatic killing of user processes on logout, a synchronous low-level C API and much simplification.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
You're cunfused, then. That's talking about GNOME Shell, which is indeed tied to Mutter. Mutter is different from Metacity, and GNOME Panel should be perfectly usable with Compiz et al.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Looking for help with Abrowser flash films
Right. There's also a GNU/Linux binary for ARM; I've used it before. ;) From what I understand, though, it was never updated past Flash 10, and only beta versions were released (unless Android was a bit different).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Looking for help with Abrowser flash films
Hi anatom What sometimes works for me is get the user agent switcher addon for abrowser and download the user agents from here http://techpatterns.com/forums/about304.html Then change user agent to android and you can sometimes get a different link ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Looking for help with Abrowser flash films
In a lot of such cases you can download the file video instead of using the Flash player. You may find the video file URL in the page source code by looking of '.flv', '.mp4', '.webm', 'video' and other keywords. But the site is in German which I don't understand, so I can't login and reach the page where the videos are.

We have many other competing, free languages that are even openly developed, like Rust, Python, Ruby, Go, ... It's not like we lack programming languages. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
MATE is adding GTK3 support as of the 1.10 release: http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=MATE-1.10-Released
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
As long as Trisquel aims to offer a classic desktop that looks good and doesn't require 3d acceleration by default, the options are pretty limited right now. Gnome fallback/classic tries to mimic many Gnome 2 features, but it really is barebones and a chore to customize. Like I said before, MATE is now supported fully upstream and by switching the default DE to it, we get more options. The Gnome 2 versions of Trisquel were some of the best looking out there and we already have stable themes that can be used and improved upon where needed for MATE. The current implementation is hacky and really isn't working to be honest. As for Magic's issue with ConsoleKit, I'm sure it can be resolved in a future MATE release if its important.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
I always wait for the laptop to shut down before closing the lid. After all it is GNU and not windose, this meaning you don't have to wait 3 minutes for the stupid thing to shut down!! :P

Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
I thought that was the case since Trisquel 7 didn't include Compiz by default, but seems that was not the case. I'm still wondering why Compiz didn't make it into Trisquel 7 though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Could Trisquel 8 switch to MATE?
The Gnome 2 versions of Trisquel were some of the best looking out there You can say that again! Trisquel 4 was my favorite, and we can achieve the same look again with MATE easily, while with Gnome fallback it just keep getting trickier. As for Magic's issue with ConsoleKit, I'm sure it can be resolved in a future MATE release if its important. I hope they come up with a solution that satisfied people who don't like systemd. Then everyone is happy.
