[Trisquel-users] Is there any privacy issue in updating search engines?
If you look at the package helper for Abrowser, (Precisely at https://devel.trisquel.info/aklis/package-helpers/blob/19986870ff5da83f3d92ba35e9ebbfeb9cb3ea9a/helpers/DATA/firefox/settings.js @lines 142 and 143.) autoupdation of search engines are disabled. This means the user won't get the latest search results (if any, the updated search engine has included), unless (s)he edits the configuration editor of web browsers. Can anybody explain me why this feature is turned off? I am seeing it something related to user privacy/freedom in the respective documentation. Please keep in mind the fact that Richard Stallman does not regard Search Engines as SaaSS when you comment on the topic.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is this Librem13 fully free this time?
Have you looked into russian CPUs and chipsets? It seems they're getting back into the biz with their edbrus processors. Perhaps they would be willing to make a "no bullshit" no backdoors processor? Though they're still on larger gate sizes. It's obvious that the signed CPU programs are backdoors for the government we live under. Just read the (mis)"features" openly touted in intels manuals. We are just cattle, not the owners, so we may not have any privacy nor own anything truely. Also what we do have must be taken away (see systemd, and other projects that kick people (men) out for having the "wrong" beliefs (This was __not__ the libre nor opensource way, this is new)). IE: Depreciate all our working projects that are fairly simple to learn, replace with monoliths that are complex and obsolete our knowlege (so we won't beable to figure out how to secure it) and keep any honest people out via code of conduct. When people say words about you, do you ever wish to fight them IRL?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Screen is off at boot - ASUS X 200MA
Thanks for all the replies! I ended up having to do a reinstall and marking apt to keep the current kernel and ignore the update. Totally happy with Trisquel otherwise! I've got a System 76 Meerkat on the way which I plan on installing Trisquel on as well. Hopefully I won't run into hardware issues but part of the fun is getting it to work right? >_<
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is this Librem13 fully free this time?
Actually- yes in reference to the Russian CPU question. It's something like $5,000 a CPU for several year old tech. Utterly unrealistic. Maybe future versions will be cheaper, and a real possibility, but not currently. As far as the last question. No, not really, I'm not a violent person. I don't even wish anyone to see anybody held against there will as this too is a form of violence.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Screen is off at boot - ASUS X 200MA
Indeed it is! :) You might want to try the newer hardware stacks. Or the newer jxself kernels. https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/update-linux-libre-kernel
Re: [Trisquel-users] ClamAV fails to detect malware
Nothing to do with ClamAV, 'cuz it's a Mozilla/linux feature. It's related to a Mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209501 ... They've been working on it since 2003 ... In one of my Trisquel PC's, on which I haven't yet started consolidating emails, I found two emails with no subject, no headers, and no body but with the 12/31/1969 date as the only information, associated with folders in which the latest entries were both related to the changing of passwords, one for this Trisquel forum and the other for my McAfee antivirus (used on the WinXP OS on my laptop). Evidently, folks in the linux community have been using linux's zero-time glitch to make/modify admin passwords with some sort of trickery: http://www.codejourneymen.com/content/adding-admin-user-drupal-site-without-overwriting-admin-user https://books.google.com/books?id=tj0-8ctawTsC&pg=PA108&lpg=PA108&dq=password+12/31/1969#v=onepage&q=password%2012%2F31%2F1969&f=false Search on "password 12/31/1969" and you'll see how ubiquitous this problem is. Finding where this mysterious phantom email resides is another matter having nothing to do with malware. Call it dateware, if you will.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Software Updater proceeds without authentication
It's still doing it (on a "security" upgrade today) even though I commented
out the following line(s):
// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin:archive) pairs
// Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
// "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
};
Happens on another PC, also running Trisquel 7, in spite of the same
commenting to 50unattended-upgrades.
Doesn't matter whether the PC has been restarted after the change or not.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Is there any privacy issue in updating search engines?
This means the user won't get the latest search results (if any, the updated search engine has included), unless (s)he edits the configuration editor of web browsers. No, it does not. It means the browser will not "automatically check for updates to search plugins": http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries#Browser. The search plugins are what populates your search bar: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Search_Bar Whatever you write in it, it is sent to the related search engine that is constantly updated.

exactly..
Re: [Trisquel-users] Broken dependencies for BitMask
Well, sure you get that output. The dependencies required to run bitmask demand a version of both debian and buguntu of a more recent state than Trisquel 6 which is based on 12.04. You will need to upgrade your system. cheers!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Five nights at freddies for trisquel?
I just tried Minetest and is awesome. Although, the reps version is a little outdated.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Five nights at freddies for trisquel?
Well said JadedCtrl.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is there any privacy issue in updating search engines?
Thank you, Magic Banana and SuperTramp83. I was a bit confused with the term Do not autoupdate search engines in the file. This is the first time I am hearing about search plugins. Now I can understand why the author (Perhaps, aklis.) disabled it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Five nights at freddies for trisquel?
The PPA (ppa:minetestdevs/stable) has the newest stable v0.4.12, if you'd like to install it. (Shameless self-advertising-- I've got a server set up at jadedmeta.net:7357-- Yes, I know, I'm a terrible person.)
Re: [Trisquel-users] ClamAV fails to detect malware
If one could "copy" emails from Icedove's "search" results into a destination folder and then manually delete them with the search-results popup, then the problem of generating phantom emails that have the 12/31/1969 date in the destination folder would be solved, but one cannot do so. There is only a "move" function, and that is what is broken. The Mozilla bug describes this, just as I observed in my original posting. I also noticed that while performing "search and move" operations in Icedove that obtained large numbers of hits (from tens to thousands) the move would repeat itself from one to three times, resulting in a count of emails moved that was a corresponding multiple of the number of emails actually moved. of course, we can now deduce that the extra X*(n - 1) emails were in fact phantom emails. Such phantom emails do not accumulate in any one destination; they just disappear into one master phantom, The Phantom. That is confirmed when the search and delete function finds a hundred hits or so, but only one The Phantom ends up visible in the trash folder. As these phantoms have a source in dateware rather than malware, we probably don't have to worry about them any more.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Is there any privacy issue in updating search engines?
Search plugins are great. Many pages with a search field relate to a search plugin that can be added to the search bar. For instance, you can visit http://www.openstreetmap.org and add the related search plugin by clicking on the arrow at the left of the search bar and choose "Add OpenStreetMap search". Afterwards, you need not load http://www.openstreetmap.org to make a search on this site anymore. You can directly search OpenStreetMap from the search bar.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is there any privacy issue in updating search engines?
Openstreetmap plugin is useful but it has one weakness - it uses http connection by defaut. It is always better to use the secure connection when available. You can fix this by using the following instructions. - Close IceCat - Open the configuration file $HOME/.mozilla/icecat/.default/searchplugins/openstreetmap.xml by using a text editor and replace http with https on row 6. - Start IceCat and test Openstreetmap plugin again
Re: [Trisquel-users] Five nights at freddies for trisquel?
From a practical point of view, if a free alternative doesn't exist yet, it might be possible to run a Trisquel instance inside KVM which would run the game in Wine or something like that. The point here is to sandbox the game so that any kind of data leak would theoretically lead nowhere.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Screen is off at boot - ASUS X 200MA
You might need to replace the wifi card. System76 has or does ship with cards that depend on a non-free firmware component that Trisquel will not support.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Very basic: How to actually instal Radeon Kernel ?
-You forgot to add jx' key, just downloaded it -Is your architecture 32/64 bit? -You seem to be missing the toutatis-updates repo, you need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list as super user. There might already be a line that's commented out (starting with a #) if so remove the # or if not, add e.g. deb http://nl.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/ toutatis-updates main
Re: [Trisquel-users] Screen is off at boot - ASUS X 200MA
The Meerkat uses an "Intel Wireless AC". I'm guessing there's no free driver for it. Not the end of the world I can use LAN as this unit will be right next to my router. The graphics card is an Intel HD5500. Couldn't locate it at h-node unfortunately.
