[Trisquel-users] Weird behaviour of youtube-dl
Dear all, when I run 'youtube-dl URL' in a terminal, I first get the 'WARNING: Your copy of avconv is outdated and unable to properly mux separate video and audio files, youtube-dl will download single file media. Update avconv to version 10-0 or newer to fix this', and then it takes ages to download the video. Searching for a solution, I found the tip first to run 'youtube-dl -F ULR', which is the same as 'youtube-dl --list-formats URL', and then to pick the best format. However, this option doesn't work at all. It is simply ignored by youtube-dl on Trisquel, despite being part of the man page. Anybody with an idea hwo to fix it? (Meanwhile I'm using cclive.) Cheers, Ncelebana
[Trisquel-users] Re : What free email provider do you prefer?
If you want to self-host, try Mail-in-a-Box. If you don't want to self-host, give Tutanota a try. It offers 1 GB of gratis storage, a responsive Web interface and can send end-to-end encrypted e-mails. Beware, you can't access it using regular e-mail clients since the storage is encrypted. There are (free) mobile apps available though.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Weird behaviour of youtube-dl
Hi, I had a fully upgraded system. The solution was to run 'youtube-dl --all-formats --get-filename URL'. The output was something like 'filename-XY.flv \\ filename-XY.mp4'. After that, I could run 'youtube-dl -f XY URL', and the warning disappeared. However, the download still took a lot of time. Cclive is much faster, by running 'cclive -p mp4 URL'. Cheers

Re: [Trisquel-users] i'm going to buy a Nintendo 64 lads.
I understand the concept of tinkering with hardware you own. I just don't understand how someone would benefit from trying to shoehorn functionality on an N64 considering it has no hard drive, network access, USB ports, and the cartridges the games it came on weren't off the shelf. I'm aware of devices like the EverDrive, but that would be unethical as it is another device to allow non-free games illegally downloaded from ROM sites. If you are into making a homebrew or indie game, why not just make it with Trisquel 7 on modern hardware in a language like C or Python?

"I'm aware of devices like the EverDrive, but that would be unethical as it is another device to allow non-free games illegally downloaded from ROM sites." just about any computer can play illegally downloaded ROMS by your logic the computer your posting this on is unethical for this reason. "I just don't understand how someone would benefit from trying to shoehorn functionality on an N64 considering it has no hard drive, network access, USB ports, and the cartridges the games it came on weren't off the shelf." its definitely not the most practical computer for modern uses and so apart from the fun of making it do stuff someone will probably not benefit too much from the n64 unless there rely good at programming it. but with its 8MB of ram you should be able too run a modern operating system on it(and maby even with a basic window manager)
Re: [Trisquel-users] i'm going to buy a Nintendo 64 lads.
Wiktionary suggests that the meaning I interpreted is one meaning of "lads" found in Ireland, Northern England, and Geordie: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lads#English (Note: this just applies "lads", not "lad". It looks like "lad" always refers to a boy or young man. A bit weird, but hey, language is weird sometimes.)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Weird behaviour of youtube-dl
The warning is just telling you that youtube-dl can only download the files which are complete audio and video files, i.e. one single file. YouTube recently (sometime in the last year, I think) started serving audio and video separately and combining them together with client-side JavaScript code (using Media Source Extensions, I believe, though I'm not entirely sure about that). To get the best-quality video, you need to get these separate audio and video files. youtube-dl has the capability to get them, but requires a recent version of avconv to actually combine the two files into one so you can watch the video properly. Since you don't have that recent version of avconv, youtube-dl is warning you that it's grabbing the legacy, single-file videos YouTube still offers for compatibility, and you therefore aren't necessarily getting the best quality available.

Re: [Trisquel-users] diffence in mac and ip?
CONGRATULATIONSS!! VOTED AS THE WORST ANSWER OF THE MONTH!!
Re: [Trisquel-users] diffence in mac and ip?
IP is for the DoD model (AKA TCP/IP or Internet model) while MAC is for the OSI model. OSI has 7 layers while DoD has 4. Now I'm gonna say that what marioxcc is "partially wrong" in the sense of the use of the word Internet plus another thing I'm going 2 mention: Internet AKA The Net differs from internet. An internet is any network which is interconected thru routers AND USES THE TCP/IP protocols to comunicate. On the other hand Internet is larger internet in the world (nd dee universe). So, you can have (example here) 2 LANs connected with a router that connects them and are using TCP/IP. That's an internet. That internet may have a conection to Internet or not but it doesn't means that the communication must use Internet to be internet.,.,.,., Now you can read marioxcc answer and u'll get it, then read texts on the subject. Remember that an IP address is a logical address while a MAC address is a physical one (anyway you can clone it, useful 4 binding n bonding) You don't need to have knowledge to deploy a server because u can do it with a simple howto tutorial and you'll get it working without know anything. To deploy a server won't get you more knowledge on Networking. Not with a tutorial way.,.,

[Trisquel-users] Mounting HP Slate tablet as a USB external drive in Trisquel
I've got an HP Slate tablet. Apparently, it's possible to plug the USB charger cable into the USB port on a computer, and mount the tablet as a browsable drive.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Scanner drivers won't install
Thank You Arielenter I'm sorry for the late reply. The scanner was not recognised when I tried to scan, I had to download the drivers from the Epson website. There were drivers for the Linux kernel, I also had to do this for the old OS before I switched to Trisquel, but on closer inspection of the "Readme" file, there was mention that some scanners require non-free plugins to work. I suspect this may be the case here. I'm putting these comments out here just in case another novice is asking the same questions :)and to thank you again for your help. kind regards

Re: [Trisquel-users] The FCC is asking for comments on a proposal to to lock down computing devices (routers, PCs, phones)
Chris and everyone We could all take the Rebels view and see this as a power grab and the knee jerk reaction is "hands off my WiFi!" I don't believe the FCC is there to hinder innovation, at least I hope not.. this is not typically how the FCC works.. but I've seen them throw out straw-man proposals to engage the public, and this might be one of them. So if, and when, you do submit comments, and in the US, as a citizen, this is your right, give it some thought and consideration as these are taken into the next steps on how the FCC will move. Don't flame them, that just gets ignored... be reasonable and thoughtful in what you say. If anyone in interested in understand FCC Frequency Spectrum, and 5 GHz Unlicensed Spectrum (UNII) then follow the links. http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/2003-allochrt.pdf https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-13-22A1.pdf https://www.fcc.gov/document/5-ghz-unlicensed-spectrum-unii It's a very good thing the FCC decided to extend the time to comment for another two months, because we really all need to study what the FCC is actually proposing to do. What I do know, in the past, having dealt with the FCC on a couple of projects, is that they are very receptive to input from the public - they're required to, it's in their charter - so raise a voice directly... it is your right to do so. if one feels strongly enough, hit up your Representative and Senators, and that makes even a better impression, they will take consideration here -- but again, but thoughtful in your comments and objections. With the Representative/Senators - I've always got a response back, not a form letter, but a signed response in Snail-Mail - I make my comments there, and yes, I do it often for issues I care about - just costs a stamp.. You want to read more in details take your time in doing so.
Re: [Trisquel-users] i'm going to buy a Nintendo 64 lads.
What a strange place for this topic. There really is no way to enjoy N64 games in true freedom is there? One positive aspect of using an old used console is that you're not financially supporting the company that made it, as it is used. Secondly, you won't be breaking any laws by legally obtaining cartridges. There are obviously far-reaching implications for one's freedom in terms of creating software for the device or changing the software you obtain. Ultimately each person has to make their own choice on where they will compromise.

Re: [Trisquel-users] i'm going to buy a Nintendo 64 lads.
That's probably over-thinking it. We don't commonly use the word "lads" where I live, but it's commonplace for us to say "guys" to just refer to a group of people we're talking to, and there's no implication at all that everyone in that group is male. I get the impression that "lads" is being used here in exactly the same way.
