Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
Purism are not upfront about their offerings. People might fall for their nice marketing parlance but at the end of the day, it is just that, sugar-coated words without real meaning. One might give them credit for trying not so hard and failing miserably. The OS is a separate issue and it might be useful. Endorsed by FSF, it should be genuinely libre.
Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
Well, what do you know, something that comes from purism that is ACTUALLY PURE! ;) Don't really trust them though and I won't be using the os just because of systemd alone... but yeah... that's not the only reason. *cough librem cough*

Is there no page to see which distros have requested fsf endorsement? It would be good if there was a transparent "waiting list" which included the dates when each request was made.
Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
They could make a libre laptop, but the specs would have to be lower. I don't mind that they compromise on freedom for more modern hardware. It's not ideal, but there is a set of people who would be unwilling to use any of the machines supported by libreboot, and I would much rather they use PureOS + Coreboot - Intel ME than a Macbook Pro or some other atrocity. However, potential users of Purism's products should know exactly how they would be compromising their freedom so that they can make an informed decision, and it is Purism's responsibility to inform them. Otherwise, even if they learn about some of the freedom issues on our own, they won't know how many more there are that they don't know about unless they have the knowledge and time required to investigate. If, like Technoethical, Purism clearly documented the freedom limitations of their products, I would have no problem with them, and I bet they would still be very successful.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel development questions
.-*| In support of the community |*-. Dear Trisquel, You know that they don't let me hack with you at work anymore. They even pushed me to use M$ and Ma¢ crap. You also know that I am using another distro at home, because I just needed more recent software. But girl! I have found more love for you: having to build every single package for this new distro made me realise how much work is needed to keep a free GNU/Linux like you. So, I want you to know that in the little free time that I may have I will try to find the way to contribute to your development. If anyone ever overhears our conversation, I hope that they will have the time to outline a first of couple (or more) steps to follow. For the uninformed: where do I start? Thanks.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Guix usage
I am hoping the icons for the programs i install would appear in the pull

"remains" of Trisquel 8's Mate Desktop still exists, because it shows up in
my XDG listing.
Do you see something suspicious in mine?
Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
I have said for a while that I feel Purism has some good intentions but they mess up the message so badly some times. Their business interests butt up against the moral ones and they let the business side win. I'm sure if they could make fully-Libre hardware they will be the first to jump on but so far they are putting out a somewhat misleading image of their products.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Guix usage

Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
I have no issues with Purism except for the way they promote their laptops, so I don't know what prior experience could be biasing me against the way they promote their laptops. Have you read the page I linked to yet? It's not like I'm cherry picking a few potentially misleading quotes from what is otherwise transparent and informative. Can you find a single sentence pertaining to freedom that does not falsely imply that the laptop is 100% libre? The closest I can find is this one: "PureOS, from the bootloader, kernel, through to the hundreds of thousands of software applications available, is built line-by-line with emphasis on your rights to privacy, security, and freedom." That sentence only makes a claim about the OS, which is libre, so I don't have a problem with it, although it does seem to imply that every line of code in PureOS was either written by Purism or written by another developer motivated by privacy, security, and freedom, neither of which is the case. I don't see how anyone can look at that page and claim that it isn't misleading, and the misleading language is so consistent, effective, and well-written that I can't imagine that it isn't intentional. Am I just going crazy?

[Trisquel-users] Make a bridge Ethernet to WIFI
I will like to share how I manage to make a bridge between Ethernet to Wifi. If all what your looking for is just to simply share your Internet connection you don't necessarily need a bridge for that and it is easier to do so by following some other how to on the Internet like the following instead: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/09/3-ways-create-wifi-hotspot-ubuntu/ I my self needed a way to connect to an Ethernet network wirelessly. First will need to install some packages: sudo apt-get install iw hostapd rfkill bridge-utils Now make sure your wireless device supports the access point mode by running the following command: iw list And look where it says “Supported interface modes” and “AP” should be listed, otherwise your card will not work to make a bridge. Edit the following file: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces Adding the following lines: auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge-ports eth0 wlan0
Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
Just a note: I don't like Purism either (I think I've made that clear enough), but it's possible to denounce one activity while being in favor of another. There's nothing wrong with PureOS as an OS as long as it's entirely libre, which has been verified to be the case.
Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
Cool. Not one I'll likely be using personally, but it's nice to have another option. I forget, is this based on Sid, testing, or stable? I seem to recall it being the testing branch, but I'm not entirely sure (the website doesn't say).

Send the stdout and stderr of the command sudo BUILD=flidas ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create so I can compare it with mine. Also, make sure that you don't have a warning about pbuilderrc missing. It you have that warning, that means that the chrooted environment is not able to follow the symlink to your ~/.pbuilderrc. You can probably fix that by copying that file to /root directory or maybe adding the variable HOME=/home/user-name to the create command. If you can't fix it, I'll give you my output once I've got access to my computer. Cheers!

Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
You're confusing PureOS, which is libre and warrants FSF endorsement, with Librem laptops, which are not and do not. This is not your fault, but a result of Purism being intentionally misleading at every opportunity.
Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
> No, their laptops are not perfect now, but please show me a place where they state/imply that they are. I already have. The page I linked to https://puri.sm/products/librem-15/ implies that the laptop has no freedom issues as strongly as possible without making any explicitly false statements. The language tows the line so carefully that it is obvious that the intention is to mislead. If you didn't know anything about Purism you would almost certainly interpret this page has saying that the laptop is libre. In order to find out what BIOS it uses, you have to click "compare specifications with our other models" which is the last thing on the page. That takes you here, https://puri.sm/products/ and the second to last thing on that page discloses that it uses coreboot. Even then, their wording is "Say goodbye to proprietary BIOSes, say hello to coreboot," clearly implying that coreboot is not a proprietary BIOS, when they know that it contains proprietary blobs. You'd have to be deliberately obtuse to argue that Purism is honest.

Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
Most of the criticism of Purism that I see on this forum is a textbook example of bikeshedding; rather than focusing efforts on criticizing the people who explicitly, knowingly, and unapologetically make and endorse proprietary software, those efforts are used to criticize a company about whom I can find no clear example of intentional fraud. Fraud is not saying something false; fraud is when you know that a statement is false, but proclaim it to be true anyway. If someone can point out a clear example of Purism doing that, please show me some documentation thereof. And I don't mean an example of them promising something that they later determined they would be unable to deliver; only those who have been involved in the fabrication of any kind of computing device would be able to fully understand the complexities of funding, designing, sourcing, delivery, and distribution of such items, to the point where they would be able to understand how unforeseen obstacles can derail months of progress. Quite frankly, they've accomplished more since Purism's inception than the Trisquel project has (in that same amount of time), as far as furthering the cause of free software goes, and this FSF distribution endorsement is further proof of that. More proof comes in the form of the TPM/heads, disabling (not merely "cleaning") the Intel ME, that they have official Debian developers working on PureOS, as well as their own Coreboot port (for which they are working to reverse-engineer the Intel FSP, as well as the VBIOS). There are probably other things that I either forgot, or else don't have the room to mention here (due to space constraints). No, their laptops are not perfect now, but please show me a place where they state/imply that they are. They are doing the best they can with modern technology, and all of their efforts supporting free software, as well as their progress (not to mention the money and time invested), prove that they aren't just taking everyone for a ride.

Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
The FSF article states that Purisms hardware is still not approved. I think its just the reality of tryign to run a business that costs millions of dollars to keep afloat. They are AIMing to be pure and I think at least cleaning up the distro is a great step in showing that. Its generally quite difficult.impossible right now to create an appealing computer these days with fully open hardware - See EOMA68. I think the mainstream Linux world is trying to be Libre but they are also trying to survive so they can keep trying.
Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
It is quite strange. I realize PureOS has been a topic of discussion for a while regarding an addition to the gnu.org recommended gnu/linux distros, but there are so many free as in freedom distributions that I'm sure have been waiting approval at this point. I also realize the difficulty in deeming a distribution 100% free as in freedom. It is likely quite a bit of work, and they probably don't have many people working on approving distributions. I was also disappointed to see they are making the move from SysV init to systemd, but I am certainly pleased nonetheless to see that more free as in freedom gnu/linux distributions are being added to the list.

It's a shame, because if they were upfront about the freedom issues with their products the way Technoethical is https://tehnoetic.com/mobile-devices/tet-n2 I might recommend them to people who want a mostly libre system but are willing to make some compromises to have more modern hardware. Unfortunately, their lack of transparency makes them untrustworthy, and I could not direct people to them with a clear conscience.
Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
I was curious to see if Purism had started conflating this with their non-free hardware yet. They don't yet mention the FSF endorsement, but I had forgotten just how slimy they are. https://puri.sm/products/librem-15/ No mention of the fact that only the OS is free. They don't even disclose what BIOS it uses. (Last I heard it was Coreboot.) And I love sentences like these: "Every hardware and software component—and everything we do—is in line with our belief in respecting your rights to privacy, security, and freedom." They don't say "Every hardware and software component respects your rights to privacy, security, and freedom." because that wouldn't be true, but unless you read very carefully that's how you would interpret it. "The first 15.6″ laptop designed to protect your digital life" is great too. Let's act like this product is the first of its kind because similar products have different dimensions. "Purism Key: A powerful key to search your computer and applications" It's literally just a WIN key with a rectangle on it instead. Not a freedom issue, but come on. "Every hardware chip individually selected with emphasis on freedom-respecting" Again, they don't say "Every hardware chip freedom-respecting" because that wouldn't be a true, but if you didn't know anything about Purism and had no context you'd read it that way. "Comes with the most rights-respecting operating system" Pure OS is FSF-endorsed, but how is it *more* rights-respecting than other FSF-endorsed distros? "The first high-end 15″ laptop that respects your privacy, security, and freedom." Here they start to border on explicitly lying. "Respects your freedom" to many people has a specific meaning that does does not apply to this product. The end. No where in the entire page do they disclose that this is not a libre product, and every sentence is carefully crafted to mislead the reader into thinking that it is. What a scam.

Re: [Trisquel-users] I Went Back From Trisquel 8 Alpha to Trisquel 7 and This Is What Happened
Trisquel/Guix (or as I've taken to calling it lately, Trisquel+Guix) is a great solution. You get the stability of a LTS distro with the ability to upgrade a package to the latest version of a package if necessary. That said, since the packages in Trisquel 8 are more up-to-date, I've found since upgrading that I don't have to rely on Guix as often, which has had some advantages. - Updating and installing with apt is faster and more convenient. guix pull takes much longer than apt update. When binary substitutes are not available Guix will begin building from source, which is better than the install failing, but it once took 16 hours just to install Emacs, which then wouldn't launch. - Many packages in Trisquel have not been packaged yet in Guix. For instance, Guix has none of the popular GUI mail clients or web browsers. Trisquel 8 already has Abrowser/Firefox 57, whereas Trisquel 7 does not and there is no equivalent in Guix. - I recommend Trisquel to people who want to use an accessible libre distro. While I'm comfortable supplementing Trisquel with Guix, they would not be. When possible, I prefer solutions to protect my freedom that will help my friends as well. - This might be a bit of an edge case, but Trisquel 8 has the latest stable version of Lilypond (2.18.2) and Guix always has the latest development version (currently 2.19.63). This makes it very easy to have both versions installed alongside each other. Back when I used Trisquel 7, which has 2.16.2, I had to rely on Guix just to get the current stable version. By default Guix will only install the latest devel version of Lilypond, and it took quite a bit of support from the guix-help mailing list to override Guix's default behavior in this way.

[Trisquel-users] I Went Back From Trisquel 8 Alpha to Trisquel 7 and This Is What Happened
After I accidentally "nuked" my Trisquel 8 Alpha install, I moved back to Trisquel 7 because I heard from ADFENO and others that you can use the Guix package manager with it. Some things I would like to say and I may add more later as I get up and running more... - The Linux-Libre Kernel messes up my installation, possibly due to the fact I am using a laptop connected to a dock that has monitors plugged into it. Trisquel 8 could handle this well using Compiz Configuration Manager. I had to reinstall the default Trisquel 7 kernel. Booting up with the Linux-Libre kernel with my dual monitors plugged into my dock causes me to boot into the terminal with an error that it cannot display the Desktop Environment. - I can't get Both of my monitors to non-mirrored with my dock-laptop situation without plugging one monitor into the dock and the other into the laptop directly, which makes my laptop annoying to be portable because I need to unplug the monitor attached to my laptop - I was able to move my home directory (and config files in it) from Trisquel 8 to Trisquel 7 with no problems - Trisquel 7 uses Init - which is fine, but I often forget that I don't have system D installed. - Caja from Trisquel 8 is more useful to me than the default Trisquel 7 file manager. - Automatically mounting USB drives seems to work more consistently for me in Trisquel 8 than 7. Particularly the "Disks" app doesn't seem to be doing what its supposed to do in Trisquel 7 ... I am not 100% sure of this though. I would say most of these are very minor. Trisquel 7 + Guix to me is basically almost like using Trisquel 8 alpha. Guix gives me more current packages and to me that is basically why I would upgrade to a later version of an OS. What are the other benefits of upgrading to Trisquel 8?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Fluid Automounting External USB Drives In Trisquel 7

Re: [Trisquel-users] Custom building and water cooling in the free world?
At the moment there is very limited support for a purely non proprietary computer/ parts. Some options are: EOMA68 seems to be aiming to be libre hardware https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop I have heard but I don't understand how that the Talos II is also libre hardware https://www.raptorcs.com/TALOSII/prerelease.php I think with your current computer situation you may have to compromise right now, and just learn more about what truly free and open options there are. I also suggest you get yourself a libre and open hardware 3d printer so you can printer parts you may need. Enjoy the journey! Don't be distracted by the shiny objects in proprietary land, and support projects that are supporting yoru computational freedom!

Ah, yes. I know the tubes and fittings doesn't contain any software, but for me personally, it would bug me to buy from a company that also develops waterblocks for locked/proprietary parts.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel development questions
Yes, fixing the package builder is a priority, but it is quite a lot of work (there are more things to fix than it looks like), so releasing Trisquel 8 is an even higher priority. Here you can find some very nice sum up of the meetings, that is usually updated on the road: https://pad.riseup.net/p/trisquel-devmeeting You also have a development mailing list. You can find it in the right pane of the forum. It's nice because it has a very small amount of messages. Regarding package-helpers, the ones missing can be found here: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/23480 Cheers!
Re: [Trisquel-users] setting up a SeaGRUB configuration on an x200
I wonder if Libreboot support channel might help. If I recall correctly, the product you have has ways to contact the people who provided the product for you, or even links to where you can contact Libreboot. Trisquel is concerned with Trisquel related things. If both the people from the provider of your product and of Libreboot say that they didn't change anything, then perhaps we can investigate it (because in that case only Trisquel, Trisquel's upstream and GRUB would be left). I would also recommend attaching the files directly to the email message (if you're using the trisquel-users mailing list) or in the forum message (if you are using the forums, in which case please write explicitly that you attached something because people in the mailing lists can't see the forum attachments by default). 2017-12-12T15:08:10+0100 stormchaser30...@gmail.com wrote: > hello. i am wondering how to set up a SeaGRUB configuration on my > ThinkPad x200 laptop. apparently the laptop (which came with libreboot > installed) does not use a SeaGRUB configuration. i am wondering how i > am to configure libreboot with a SeaBIOS setup.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Re : "Corrupt or invalid kernel image"
+1 As a plus to what Magic Banana said: we mustn't recommend non-free software for other people, exceptions are for people who are committed to replace the very non-free part, but this person didn't say that, instead the person said to be a normal user. 2017-12-20T00:14:21+0100 lc...@dcc.ufmg.br wrote: > Please refrain to present proprietary software as a solution.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel development questions
Hi gnutastyc, Thanks for the info. I downloaded that diff you pointed to and patched trisquel-builder and it seems to be working better now. Yes, I would think that fixing the package builder should be a high priority, if it isn't working properly. I haven't actually been to any of the development meetings, because the timing doesn't work very well for me, unfortunately (I am at work at that time). I am keen to help out though, so if someone can point me to a list of things that need doing, I will see what I can do. Is there a Trisquel development mailing list, or anything like that, for those that can't conveniently attend a scheduled meeting? About the branches, you are probably right that Belenos is still being developed and is still the 'current' release, so that might explain why HEAD is pointing to it. For now, I will switch to the flidas branch and try to work on that. Thanks again! :-)
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: have you installed signal on replicant?
Hi, I am using Signal on replicant. Just download the apk file from the signal homepage and open it. Then it will be installed. But keep in mind to upgrade to the new replicant version fist 6.1 003, otherwise yout system will crash. I described the problem here: https://redmine.replicant.us/boards/9/topics/14639?r=14668#message-14668 In general it works fine with replicant.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Fluid Automounting External USB Drives In Trisquel 7
I think that the package "usbmount" should do the work for you. I have found it in Trisquel 8 repo.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel development questions
Hi Time4Tea! It's awesome that you are already working on it. I've started helping a couple of weeks ago, and I faced some There are a couple of things that still need to be fixed to help with the package helpers. They were raised in the last meeting if you were there. First of all, the code of the package builder need to be updated and still hasn't. kpengboy pushed this merge request that fixed most of my problems: https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/trisquel-builder/merge_requests/3/ You can download the diff file and patch your local repository. Just ask if you need help on how to work that out. Then, you would need to do: sudo DIST=flidas ARCH=amd64 pbuilder create Then, you have to make sure that the file /var/cache/pbuilder/flidas-amd64-base.tgz has been created. After that, if you want to build the package, and you find some trouble because it cannot find the base tarball, try: sudo DIST=flidas ARCH=amd64 pbuilder build PACKAGES/hello/*.dsc After that, I found some trouble because it couldn't download the packages inside the base tarball. I modified the first line of the D hook like this: echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://jenkins.trisquel.info/repos/trisquel/$DIST $DIST main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list Most of this has been tested in my computer while trying to work with the helpers. Probably it is not perfect and have some mistakes, but it works quite well for me. I hope you can also work it out :)
