Re: [Trisquel-users] Need help: Playlist For the Ohio [GNU]Linux's FSF 30th B'day Party (ThinkPenguin's sponsoring/organizing it)
If you decide to play this OpenBSD song (http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#43) on a FSF event I would say you are a very, well, brave man. ;-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser insists using VLC as PDF viewer
Thank you all. That did the trick. :-)

Perhaps also this remix to appease the metalheads http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/06/15/metal-free-software-song-2-this-time-its-personal/ Besides that there is some nice stuff on https://www.jamendo.com/ (all kind of cc licenses)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need help: Playlist For the Ohio [GNU]Linux's FSF 30th B'day Party (ThinkPenguin's sponsoring/organizing it)
Hmm, what license would a BSD distro choose? ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need help: Playlist For the Ohio [GNU]Linux's FSF 30th B'day Party (ThinkPenguin's sponsoring/organizing it)
Yea- what's the license, maybe I can edit it an insert "free software" instead. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need help: Playlist For the Ohio [GNU]Linux's FSF 30th B'day Party (ThinkPenguin's sponsoring/organizing it)
I guess that depends on what kind of party it is. If it's for dancing then you might not want the genres to change randomly, which they do on libre.fm, but you can also download the songs from there directly and then only choose those that you think are appropriate. Playing OpenBSD songs sounds like a good idea. I like this one: http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#56
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need help: Playlist For the Ohio [GNU]Linux's FSF 30th B'day Party (ThinkPenguin's sponsoring/organizing it)
You think this music would be good for a party? I've really got utterly no idea about music. I'm not sure if any of the OpenBSD songs are particularly inappropriate (either for a party, or political messages within, certainly don't want to promote BSD's message at the 30th party for FSF) here or would be good/acceptable : http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html
Re: [Trisquel-users] Need help: Playlist For the Ohio [GNU]Linux's FSF 30th B'day Party (ThinkPenguin's sponsoring/organizing it)
Maybe you could try streaming from https://libre.fm. A lot of the songs there are CC-BY-SA. I sometimes check the box "Only play me songs that other people love".
[Trisquel-users] Need help: Playlist For the Ohio [GNU]Linux's FSF 30th B'day Party (ThinkPenguin's sponsoring/organizing it)
In addition to ThinkPenguin sponsoring the party I've volunteered to organize the FSF 30th Ohio B'day party. One of the things I need for the party is a playlist of songs. What would people suggest? I'm probably the worst person to come up with a playlist given I don't listen to music. Period (I know it's shocking- but there is 1 person on this planet who doesn't listen to music). We'll certainly have to include these songs: http://infinite-hands.draketo.de/musik/Infinite-Hands--free-software.ogg http://www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.en.html But what else would people like to hear at the party? I think songs dealing with software freedom, liberty, hacking, and the likes are probably ideal candidates.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Excelent Write Up Of The FCC Story Saga
Josh Gay @ the FSF and a 4-5 others from the Save Wifi coalition participated in a phone conference with the FCC the other day (I unfortunately missed it- chalk that up to overwork in part to the radio shows and the like I've been doing non-stop for two weeks, new employee training, conferences stuff (we're sponsoring the FSF 30th party @ the Ohio [GNU]Linux Fest), and other stuff). In it we got confirmation that the FCC *really does* want examples of how we will be harmed/negatively impacted by the proposed rules. If nobody speaks up it's a lot harder to blame them for taking away our freedoms. They've got a particular goal which in and of itself is not at issue. It's the way those rules will be interested and enforced by manufacturer that will cause the problems.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Help with new install
Won't the config files in /home be overwritten as soon as a second distro is installed?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser insists using VLC as PDF viewer
They do but not if I try to open them from within aBrowser. However, this is only true for some PDFs. A very strange issue.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser insists using VLC as PDF viewer
Right click - open with other application - make sure "use as default" is checked and click on evince or whatever. Now all your pdfs will open with that app you chose.

Thanks a million for bringing GRUB to light!. Regards! I ll try!.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser insists using VLC as PDF viewer
I'm using XFCE and I don't have a reset button in that menu.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser insists using VLC as PDF viewer
Right-click on the file in the file manager, go to the "Open With" tab, and click on the button labeled "Reset". That will reset the association of .pdf files to its default state. I don't have the problem you describe, so this should fix it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Excelent Write Up Of The FCC Story Saga
We can't let this happen. I've been trying to convince my friends to also write comments to them. I can not believe this "thing" is happening.
[Trisquel-users] Abrowser insists using VLC as PDF viewer
Hello guys, I wanted to view the following PDF file by using Abrowser: http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/pubdb/views/edoc_download.php/6445/pdf/imm6445.pdf Unfortunately, I only have the option to view this file with VLC instead of evince and the checkbox "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." is only shown grayed. Any ideas?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 on Toshiba NB200 - needs constant mouse movement
Hi thanks, that is exactly what I did, and things did improve a bit but still got some hangs, though less. I have tried something that was put forward as a fix for the Toshiba NB300 and this seems to be a fix for the NB200 as well: etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nolapic_timer clocksource=jiffies" sudo update-grub and this seems to work perfectly now. I heard that this could lead to one processor running at 100% all the time, but playing a video maximised I have about 72% on each core. Memory use about 52% of 1gb. So all would seem to be well. By the way, not fully tested yet but it would seem the Atheros 9285 chipset in the NB200 works with Trisquelwill report back on a separate post. Many thanks
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 7 on Toshiba NB200 - needs constant mouse movement
You would get: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash processor.max_cstate=1" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" And, yes, you need to execute 'sudo update-grub' after saving /etc/default/grub.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 on Toshiba NB200 - needs constant mouse movement
Thanks for that very helpful, have tried to edit /etc/default/grub but must be doing something wrong. Am trying to add processor.max_cstate=1 to GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" am then running sudo update-grub what should it look like?
