You disabled all add-ons (or ran 'abrowser -safe-mode') and it still does not  
work?  You can create a new profile if you really want the site to work.

[Trisquel-users] QTerminal in Devuan 2 DEAD but apps working

[hd-scania]

I have upgraded to the next LTS release versioned 2 in Devuan and appended  
with LXQt and replaced with SDDM instead of the discontinued SLiM, in the  
LXQt shell apps are done but QTerminal can’t be run for any commands, like  
my screenshot, w/o any ‘$’, ‘%’, or ‘>’ signs behind my name and  
my current QTerminal dir, but this is not affected for the root shell.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Kali with free hardware

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

I think this is somewhat related to the triangle between non-free
software distro, Libreboot and the X200 computer.

I would first contact the non-free distro support channels, then
Libreboot's, then if it's found to be a hardware issue,
contact the provider of the hardware.

Re: [Trisquel-users] QTerminal in Devuan 2 DEAD but apps working

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

Perhaps contact Devuan instead of Trisquel?

I would try contacting Devuan since their distro is affected, then
contact whichever other project is envolved (QTerminal, LXQt, SDDM, in
that order).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser won't run Regexr

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

1. Make a test folder/directory with various dummy files that would be
   similar to the RegEx (if you are making directory/path expansion
   tests). Or a test file with contents inside (if you are testing for
   file's contents).

2. Make the RegEx software attempt the wanted RegEx against that
   directory or file.

See the results.

Done, no need to run any "RegExr". ;)

Alternatively, go to the support channels of the programming language
you are writting on and ask there for a revision on the matter, or you
can also ask us here. ;)

No.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Re : Abrowser won't run Regexr

[Caleb Herbert]

Hm, that's odd.  Regexr runs in a new profile, but it does not run in
safe mode.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser won't run Regexr

[Caleb Herbert]

If I were going that route, I'd be using regex-builder in Emacs, but
sometimes even it isn't interactive enough.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Coreboot

[vitacell]

You can configure and compile Coreboot blobless (no non-free), but the  
problem is the hardware. X220-X230-X220t, are great computers, but those  
won't boot without some Intel ME code.


So, yes, Coreboot is free software but people can build it with blobs.
Libreboot only want stable version and fully non-blob software.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser won't run Regexr

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

I don't understand how interactive it's supposed to be?

Do you mean that it should ask you everytime "do you want to match
file?".

I don't which RegEx engine you want to use, nor the programming
language, but at least in GNU `find', one can use something like:

find "." -regex '.*\.png$' -print

... this will search recursively from the current directory (!) and
print the relative path to each matched file that has .png file
extension (although this doesn't guarantee that the MIME type will be
that of .png file). This provides some "interactive result" because it
does nothing besides printing the matches.

Note that GNU `find' uses Emacs regular expressions by default (unless
you use `-regextype' before), which as far as I know is similar to Basic
Regular Expressions but with more features.

Finally, notice that your `-regex' must deal with the full relative path,
that is, simply using "\.png$" would return nothing (because it fails to
consider "." path, and also the subdirectories).

You could elaborate a little more and say that you only want things
inside two directory/path levels, like so:

find "." -regex '\([^/]+/\)\([^/]+/\)[^/]+\.png$' -print

But this is probably not efficient, it would be best to use:

find "." -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name '*.png' -print

Note that in the last command example `-name' uses Pathname Expansion
(see `info bash' for explanation), not regular expressions.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser won't run Regexr

I'm using Regexr because I want something like Daring Fireball's
Markdown Web Dingus, but for regular expressions.

Re: [Trisquel-users] QTerminal in Devuan 2 DEAD but apps working

[Cassandra of Troy]

That's why my child is still on Jessie and I'm in such a bad mood
lately, lol. I agree with Adfeno about filing the bug report with the
Devuan developers and moving on. The people you are trying to help might
be better off with a stable release and backports.

Keep going.

I had some trouble with the Parabola install script last night that I
can't put into words yet, but will troubleshoot and get back to you on
the appropriate thread as soon as I can.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser won't run Regexr

That was exactly my suggestion, with the advantage that you don't need
internet. ;)

Does it have a regex key on the side or elsewhere?

Which script?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser won't run Regexr

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

Unfortunatelly no, but you can test with various dummy files/texts.

I wonder however, what exactly you want the regular expression to match,
or not to match, and which programming language is it?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trouble Getting Trisquel 8 to install in UEFI Mode

[ablocorrea]

Hi Dave!

I also had a similar problem during the installation. However, when I checked  
from the Live USB, it looked like Trisquel had already been perfectly  
installed. After that, I logged into another GNU/Linux distribution that I  
currently have in my computer (Fedora), updated grub config (that detected  
the Trisquel image), and could reboot and log into Trisquel without any  
problem. If you are able to do that, check it.


I also have to say that I have had multiple times multiple problems trying to  
set up GNU/Linux distributions with my UEFI laptop (Toshiba Satellite P50).  
After having several problems with the firmware, my recommendation is to  
install grub apart from the operating system. So if you don't have GRUB  
installed yet, try installing it from a live USB, you can find a couple of  
ways to do it just searching the web.


If from the Live session you cannot see Trisquel installed, or you believe  
that it has not been correctly installed, unfortunately, I can't help you :(


Cheers,
gnutastyc.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trouble Getting Trisquel 8 to install in UEFI Mode

[dahunt]

Thanks for your help!
Following the installer crash, I mounted the volume that should have had  
Trisquel on it, and found that my user had been created, and /usr/bin seemed  
to be partially populated. I noticed that, when looking at /etc/default/grub,  
I found the grub command field empty, and didn't really know what should be  
there.  a run of the script called 'update-grub' resulted in an error message  
asking whether '/dev' is mounted. I gave up, and tried to install Debian; the  
partitioner wouldn't run.  Just to get this machine back online, I threw in  
Fedora 27, which installed perfectly.  I wonder if Trisquel 7 would have the  
same installation problems as 8 on UEFI machines? If the accessibility  
weren't so behind the times, I'd consider doing it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser won't run Regexr

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

I assume that by "the end" of the line you want to actually capture the
last character, which ever it is.

Suppose you have a text file like this (the underlines are *also*
spaces, please correct them):

--8<---cut here---start->8---
c ^x a1
y b2
z c3
b x d4
y e5
z f6
x abC W-
a ^x_
y_
z_
e ^x
x_
d qwerty ^x azerty aBc
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Then, assuming you want to match a literal "^x " and are using Basic
Regular Expressions in GNU `sed', a command such as this:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
sed -n 's/^.*\^x .*\(.\)$/\1/gp' "file.txt"
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Would print:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
1
c
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

If you instead want "^" to be considered as special in "^x ", this:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
sed -n 's/^x .*\(.\)$/\1/gp' "file.txt"
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Would display this:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
-
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

The `-n' option in `sed' tells it to print only when asked to, the
`s/regex/subst/flags' looks for a match of regular expression and
replaces it, the "g" flag makes it replace all matches, and "p" prints
the line if a match was found.

Notice however that the captures made so far (of the last character)
don't overlap with the controlling match ("^x "), that is, so far a
string such as "x " wouldn't have the space captured. As far as my
limited knowledge goes, in cases where you have to do a second match
based on the existance of another match, it's more readable to use *two*
regular expressions (there are some regular expression standards that
allow this nesting at the expense of human readability, but I'm still
not that good on these ones).

The commands bellow use *two* regular expressions, for literal "^x " and
for the special "^" in "^x ", respectively:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
sed -n '/\^x / { s/^.*\(.\)$/\1/gp }' "file.txt"
sed -n '/^x / { s/^.*\(.\)$/\1/gp }' "file.txt"
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Unless an address is given, `sed' applies commands to all lines. The
/regex/ is an address type that selects lines matching a regular
expression. After the address comes a command, the "{" and "}" are there
for readability (but are very important if you would want to apply more
commands to the same address).

Yet again I must remind you that some programming languages have
different regular expression standards, and so far I don't know which
one you want.

Finally, if you want to capture the line feed literally, then this can
be more tricky. Personally, I would test how the file's first line ends
and apply the same for the future lines I want to write.

I hope this helps. ;)

You should stand that script for one which I have promoted for newbies new

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser won't run Regexr

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

In the last paragraph, by "line terminator", I meant either:

- line feed only (LF, 0x0A, "\n"). Default for Unix-compliant operating
  systems such as GNU;

- carriage return only (CR, 0x0D, "\r"). Default for Mac;

- carriage return and line feed (CRLF, 0x0D, "\r\n"). Default for
  Windows.

Most commands assume that you are dealing with LF only, so the special
"$" in regular expressions already mean only "\n". There are other tools
such as `tr' which can do translations (replacements from one terminator
to other) and also `awk' for which by modifying some Awk variables you
can change how it considers input records as terminated (noting that
"records" for Awk can be considered as lines by default).

Your suggestion does not add to the lines.  It deletes them entirely.

Also, it matches incorrectly.

  * An extra CHARIZARD line was inserted
  * "x " at the beginning of the penultimate line was NOT matched

My intended result is to ADD text to the end of any lines that start
with "x ".

[Trisquel-users] How to get most up-to-date abrowser for Trisquel 6.0

[oralfloss]

I have Trisquel 6.0 and I don't plan on upgrading to 7 any time soon. I was  
wondering if there is a way to get the most recent version of abrowser  
because of security concerns.


According to Synaptic package manager the latest version of Abroswer is  
23.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1+6.0trisquel5. But this doesn't seem like it is  
very up to date. How do I get the latest abrowser?

[Trisquel-users] Re : Why is Chromium not in Trisquel?

[lcerf]

The issue you link to (take a look at the "Blocked on" list on the left of  
the page too) is alone a good reason to not have Chromium in Trisquel.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Abrowser won't run Regexr

[lcerf]

Substitute the end of the line with (i.e., append) "text" if the line starts  
with "x":

sed '/^x/ s/$/text/'

[Trisquel-users] Re : How to get most up-to-date abrowser for Trisquel 6.0

[lcerf]

Trisquel 6 is not supported anymore.  The Web browser is not the only program  
that can suffer from security issues.  Why don't you want to update?  It is  
probably easier than installing newer packages (requiring newer dependencies)  
on an outdated system.

You can't the only thing to do if you are still using 6.0 (like me) is using

Re: [Trisquel-users] How to get most up-to-date abrowser for Trisquel 6.0

You could do what I do to get up-to-date packages for Trisquel 7, which
has a few packages, like Mumble, that are deprecated.

Install GNU Guix:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html

Then, install GNU IceCat:


guix package -i icecat
