Re: [Trisquel-users] Doubts about libreboot flashing and configuration
Hi Megver83, first of all, I am sorry that I am not going much into detail now, because I don't have a lot of time. I will come back to this topic. ;-) You don't need a PSU! The 3.3V of the RPi is sufficient. The Jumper cables are only different in colour so that you can identify connections more easily. It makes it more comfortable to work with. A set of jumper cables is very cheap, so I would use (and have used) jumper cables bought from a shop because they have a header that makes sure that everything stays where it should. You don't want to lose a cable during flashing. Make sure that you have everything you will need: Pomona Clip, Jumper Cables, RaspberryPi ready to go (I forgot what else there is). There is another manual for flashing with a Raspberry Pi. There is not much different when flashing a T400. Just be careful with the pinouts. https://libreboot.org/docs/install/rpi_setup.html The manual is very detailed, just make sure to follow it closely: https://libreboot.org/docs/install/t400_external.html Good luck and do not hesitate to ask for help.

Mario, I did read it, in fact I've read it twice. "In 2016, Alina Davis was abusively and unfairly accused of drugs possession." Abusively? Unfairly? Citation need. Metamphetamine possession is a crime, my friend. So is driving with a fake license. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/transgender-woman-forced-serve-jail-7385982 Now, the question of the single cell is another pair of shoes. The old motto, which is just that (a meme that applies only to the poor; the rich and powerful are beyond it, they can do whatever they want to, apparently) goes: All are equal before the law. What I mean is, if the law says driving with a fake license is illegal and punishable with x months of detention, then **everyone** doing so should serve time. If the law says possessing metamphetamine is illegal and punishable with x months in jail, then **everyone** getting caught with it should serve that time. She should have been absolutely given a single cell. Alina should have NOT in any case been placed in a cell with 4 males. That is an indecency, for obvious reasons (I don't need, I hope, to provide explanations on why it is unacceptable) but she SHOULD be in a jail, like **everyone** else who commits illegalities, she should serve the time in accordance to the violation of the legal code. The intro of your website talks about bigotry and human stupidity, the fear of the diverse etc etc, but that, my friend has nothing to do with "driving with a fake license and possessing meth". You omitted the "fake license". You also throw in one single sentence without providing any citation or proof whatsoever accompanying your claim: "In 2016, Alina Davis was abusively and unfairly accused of drugs possession." I hate bigotry, and I hate injustice, but I find your website lacking transparency. When you are asking people to help you with donations or with any kind of action you should be absolutely transparent. You are being not, far from it.

>Mario, I did read it, in fact I've read it twice. What you think that the page and the news article say is not at all what they say. If you have read the page twice and you couldn't understand it properly, then I am afraid that you are functionally illiterate. >Metamphetamine The charge that my friend Alina is accused of, is related to amphetamine not methamphetamine, nor driving with a false license. These are different compounds with different effects. Amphetamine is considered benign, to the point that is medically prescribed to children and adults for narcolepsy and attention deficit. Methamphetamine on the other hand, is mostly used recreationally and is known to damage dopaminergic neurons, although it is occasionally used in medical practices in very severe cases where amphetamine is not effective. >The intro of your website talks about bigotry and human stupidity, the fear of the diverse etc etc, The web page of the fundraising campaign says exactly what the facts are, that Alina faced obstacles and the scorn of people, and then it describes as an example the problems he faced when he married. Nowhere does the web page call anybody "stupid" or "bigot". It also says what Alina is accused of, and that we are confident that we can prove his innocence. >but she SHOULD be in a jail, like **everyone** else who commits illegalities, she should serve the time in accordance to the violation of the legal code. Here you are assuming that my friend Alina committed the crime that he is accused for. Given that you are so keen on proofs, where is your evidence that he committed this crime?. My friend Alina is in jail awaiting for his trial. The reason we are asking for money is because we can prove that he is innocent, but my friend's family can't afford the attorney feeds, even after we, his friends, have contributed with money already. It also surprises me that you place so much faith in the moral of the legal system. You are saying that if the bureaucrats that make laws that say that something is wrong, then it is wrong. It is thus only fair that once my fried Alina is exonerated you admit that you were wrong. You owe me and my friend Alina a public apology for claiming that he is guilt without proof, and I will remind you of it when he is exonerated.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Doubts about libreboot flashing and configuration
Something else that I forgot, what is the difference between vesafb and txtxmode? Which one is more convenient?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Doubts about libreboot flashing and configuration
Check the install instructions page as well: https://libreboot.org/docs/install/ "Available modes: vesafb or txtmode. The vesafb ROM images are recommended, in most cases; txtmode ROM images come with MemTest86+, which requires text-mode instead of the usual framebuffer used by coreboot native graphics initialization." I used vesafb like recommended. Remember, you have to go through the whole process of disassembling only once. Updates can then be flashed via terminal. @stas Sorry,my Russian is pretty bad so I answer in English. I can't think of a reason why one shouldn't be allowed to use the Russian alphabet for the username. Worked for me ;-)

>functionally illiterate :) >The charge that my friend Alina is accused of, is related to amphetamine not methamphetamine, nor driving with a false license. The article you linked mentions amphetamine, not methamphetamine. These are different compounds with different effects. Meta or not, it's an illegal drug. She was found with an illegal drug, so she was welcomed to have some time in jail. That's the way it works, mate. Whether the laws are just or not, it is not up to me to say. But do not wonder if they trow you in jail when they find meta or not meta amphetamine in your pocket. >Amphetamine is considered benign Yeah.. So is marijuana, here where I live, still.. not legal. Whether it should be, it's not up to me to say, but guess what happens when they charge you with possession of? >The web page of the fundraising campaign says exactly what the facts are, that Alina faced obstacles and the scorn of people, and then it describes as an example the problems he faced when he married. Nowhere does the web page call anybody "stupid" or "bigot". You completely misunderstood and missed the point. I will try to explain it. What you describe as "scorn of people" is exactly what I refer to as bigotry and human stupidity. I did not say you used those terms, in fact I used them to point out how those who scorned Alina are just stupid bigots. But I also pointed out how this episode has nothing to do with her driving without a license or possessing illegal drugs. >Here you are assuming that my friend Alina committed the crime that he is accused for. Given that you are so keen on proofs, where is your evidence that he committed this supposed crime?. I'm not assuming anything. I am just saying that driving without a license and possessing illegal drugs is illegal, illegal for me, for you, for Alina. >It also surprises me that you place so much faith in the moral of the legal system. Ha! Law and morals (or more correctly ethics) are two very different things. >You are saying that if the bureaucrats that make laws that say that something is wrong, then it is wrong. No, I'm saying that if you drive without a license and possess illegal drugs you wind up in jail. So, Alina, is not "innocent" as you say in your article. Unless she indeed was not driving without a license and was not found with drugs.

So, as I really wonder, being a curious person, why are you so keen on supporting Alina, other than "they are my friend", I've researched more on her. https://sputniknews.com/russia/20091107156743491/ You say her family is poor, but that article says she was at the time a "bored kid from a wealthy family", who thought placing an explosive in a cafe was somehow a good way to express her ennuì and disgust. So, to recap: 2009 - Alina (then Dmitry) explodes a cafe and gets away with it. 2015 - Found with 12 g of amphetamine https://themoscowtimes.com/news/muscovite-bailed-out-by-confusion-over-gender-identity-49591 Again, gets away with it... 2016 - Drives with a fake license This time, and about time, the authorities think it is probably better to apply the law. Can you explain me again why would people donate to Alina? You know, being functionally illiterate it might just be that I'm missing the point.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Use this bash init script snippet to get an improved prompt. Also can you donate to help us to get a friend out of jail?
So, to recap: You skimmed through Alina's fundraising page, and concluded that there is a "lack of transparency" because you missed the statement where it is explained what he is accused of doing, while at the same time assuming that he is gullible without proof. Then you read a news article according to which my friend is accused of amphetamine possession, and you post here claiming that the accusation is for methamphetamine possession which is a different compound (not a trivial difference, because while amphetamine is safe and therefore used therapeutically, metamphetamine is harmful in its primary use). Now again you show your functional illiteracy. My friend never "exploded a coffee". I should note that nowhere does the article that you linked, which is from 8 years ago, says that the coffee "exploded" or even that anybody was hurt. That my friend may have played a teenager's practical joke which people made a big fuss about, is a different matter. Sputnik News made it up that my friend is rich along with the term "Golden Youth". If you make a search for it, you will see that basically only this Sputnik News article mentions this term. It is not used, or at least not in Russia. >why are you so keen on supporting Alina, other than "they are my friend" Well, if helping a friend because he is a friend is not enough of a reason for you, then I am sorry for your friends! I on my part am not indifferent to my friends problems and I need no more of a reason to help them than friendship. >she SHOULD be in a jail, like **everyone** else who commits illegalities I remind you that here you accused my friend of committing a crime without proof. And you owe Alina and me a public apology for this and a retraction of your words. I do not know you do it where you live, but in Russia, people is not trialed by linking to popular newsletters but by evidence. That is the job of an attorney in law. We do not have enough money to pay for what they charge, and that is why I came here to as for help.
