A rare noise came from the computer. I think it was a disk creeping or  
something like that. It was continuous.<


A live session doesn't tamper with your hard disk, so the noise can only come  
from the optical media itself.

It is really funny!!

I played it with python3 (i already had pygame for python3) and I've played a  
little bit and it is great, really fast and dynamic.


I've never played mario that much so I rather play your game =)

I will try to make a good level for the contest

Actually, don't. Trisquel is very old now and you will most probably have  
unsatisfied dependencies if you go the package through repository way.  
Download the standalone bundle and run the executable.

Re: [Trisquel-users] New ReTux Release and a Level Making Competition

2016-05-28 Thread onpon4
I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this announcement, but since  
someone has already done something that involves the change, I've posted it  
now:


https://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8558

Three things:

First, a small bugfix release of ReTux is now available. This should make it  
possible to run ReTux if you don't have Tkinter installed.


Second, and this might sadden some people, I have decided to pull the demo  
version. It's been almost a week since I released that version, and I don't  
feel like it's generating any substantial interest. Plus, it's either a  
maintenance burden or a stain on ReTux's reputation; for example, to avoid  
leaving that Tkinter-related bug in the demo, I would have had to update it  
the same time I updated the full release.


But third, I have decided that I am going to give gratis copies of ReTux to  
anyone who announces that they are going to participate in the level making  
competition before June 20. albertoefg is the first person to get this. I  
hope this limited-time offer will encourage more people to participate and  
make it possible for people who couldn't pay the normal $10 price to get  
ReTux.

Awesome! I've sent you a response to the email you sent. :)

For the record, no programming is required to create levels. (You can do some

Re: [Trisquel-users] Help me burning encryped DVD with Luks

I haven't got any doubt that his works

But I'm wondering what happens if you burn this .img, put it in the trash and  
if this disc can work with a de­vice file in /dev/mapper and a mount point  
file in ~/ as those files depends of the .img


I don't think this can work on another computer.

I'm going to install Tomb (i haven't done it yet) to see how a CD-R behaves  
with a .tomb file.

I hope it will woks fine.
I still haven't got any real solution yet.

Re: [Trisquel-users] forced to Cisco proprietary

Basically, my idea was to separate your personal computing and data from  
anything Cisco.

If you run a separated OS (or even several OS) in either:
- a virtual machine
- Wine, hardened preferably
- or another computer,
then even Javascript or the firmwares aren't much of an issue in terms of  
privacy.


I'm not a fan of online services also because you can't study much when  
offline.


If not needed, I wouldn't spend on Cisco hardware. You might be able to study  
most of the features on paper, and maybe there are ways to test it without  
owning one during the course.
Plus if you have the cash for Cisco equipment, investing on a dedicated  
work/study laptop isn't a bad idea IMO.


I'm not sure how Wine relates to mobility though.

I hope this answers your question.


Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel installation - Checking

* GPU - NVIDIA 680 OC
* No wifi adapter


But there must be an "Device Administrator" to check that everything works  
fine. (Or commands) - A guide that a Trisquel installer should follow to  
check a successful and flawless installation.



I used 'hardinfo' to generate a report, but it only list and doesn't tell if  
a device is no compatible or drivers are needed. And synchronization didn't  
work.


Thanks.

Yes, and it's probably the better option, since it has an integrated

The other one I was thinking of was Grafx2.

>So, I would like to know all checks or what steps do I have to take, to

The two components that need to be checked are the GPU and the wifi adapter.  
If it is an AMD GPU then you are going to be very, very disappointed (without  
the proprietary firmware you will have no video acceleration, and a furnace,  
expect temps as high as 100 C now that it is summer, almost).
Intel GPUs other than the new skylake will do their job perfectly fine. Most  
Nvidias will work fine (at least they did on every PC I installed Debian or  
Trisquel on for those few relatives and mates that care about free software).


The wifi adapter must be an Atheros 802.11N chip, series
AR9xxx or AR5xxx.

Hi,

I tried live trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso on a computer.

A rare noise came from the computer. I think it was a disk creeping or  
something like that. It was continuous.


(I had sound, monitor and internet connection working)

So, I would like to know all checks or what steps do I have to take, to  
ensure that the whole computer could work right. (Or other hardware is  
needed)



Thanks. 


Re: [Trisquel-users] iMac fans

2016-05-28 Thread jadedml

This is because Trisquel doesn't have systemd.
systemctl is a systemd command.

Try running it manually with "sudo start mbpfan" or enable with Upstart by  
"sudo cp mbpfan.upstart /etc/init/mbpfan.conf sudo start mbpfan"

They argue that the verdict, that use of the Java APIs was "fair

Personally, I think it could be a valid point.


 No, that's ridiculous.
