Xfce is a desktop environment, like Lxde (which is what you are using since  
it's the default in Trisquel Mini).


Any desktop environment including Xfce, Gnome (the default in Trisquel 7),  
MATE (the default in Trisquel 8), and Lxde should have a menu for setting  
keybindings. However, it may be called something slightly different and in a  
slightly different place, which is why those of us who don't use Lxde can't  
tell you exactly where to look.


In MATE, the menu is called 'Keyboard Shortcuts'. It might be called that in  
Lxde, or it might be called something else like 'Keybindings'. If you've  
installed Synapse, open Synapse, type 'key', press down arrow, and see if you  
can find it.


Once you find that menu, map the command xkill to whatever keyboard shortcut  
you want. I have it mapped to Ctrl+Alt+X.


Don't feel self-conscious about having to ask questions. Stepping outside  
your comfort zone to protect your freedom is nothing to be ashamed of.

Not quite. Those instructions were for launching Main Menu from Synapse after  
installing Synapse. It sounds like you've already solved your problem, but  
I'll explain anyway because I think you'll find it useful next time you can't  
find something. Searching Synapse is much easier than digging through menus.


The first command$ sudo apt install synapseinstalls synapse. That will work  
for any package if you replace 'synapse' with the name of the package.


The second command$ synapsewould have launched Synapse, which looks like a  
search bar that appear in the middle of the screen. This allows you to search  
and launch applications and locations in your system.


Typing 'main menu' at that point would have searched for the menu editor in  
Synapse, and pressing enter would have launched it. (see attached screenshot)


If you click on the circle in the top right of Synapse and select  
'preferences' you can configure Synapse to start on login (in the background)  
and decide a shortcut to launch it.

We are getting our hands dirty in order to make that huge evaluation
happen. To give you an idea, a git clone of the source code takes around
two hourse, a check made by FOSSOlogy takes more than two days.

See [1] for a possibly (already) outdated evaluation, and if you want to
make this evaluation happen, talk to jxself, he has a FOSSOlogy instance
running specifically for Chromium

Also, as I said in #peers in chat.freenode.net IRC, if there's no
evaluation for a specific software, we can only assume it to be non-free
for now, but keeping note that software changes the freedom status over
time, and since less people want to get involved in the evaluation, we
can only assume the worst conclusion in case of software: it'd be
non-free.

I would like to contribute but FOSSology doesn't seem to allow me to
take work for offline use like Git, Bazaar, CVS or other RCSs/VCSs would
and I don't have stable internet connection now, so I can't do much from
here.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Binaries-free movements back-ending in RPM sources?

2017-12-23 Thread Adonay Felipe Nogueira
As others commented: we have GuixSD (the system distribution that uses
GNU Guix as default package manager).

Personally I see Guix's source archives as way better than SRPM and that
like, precisely because it keeps the source files inside a simple
.tar.gz (or whichever similar thing I forgot) thus allowing most
archivers to see the content already.

Also, for enterprise usage I would recommend any free/libre system
distribution combined with Guix package manager, specially because the
enterprise can overcome the cases where they are purposefully limited by
a third-party in regards to what are their system user's permission
(this is common in VPS or HPC, where the end-user is forbidden from
managing his own copies of specific applications, or of all
applications).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Guix usage

2017-12-23 Thread Adonay Felipe Nogueira
You can also try to install an application which is known to have such
menu entries, I have a list which might interest you:

emacs
enigma
gajim
gimp
gnucash
icecat
inkscape
pidgin
synfigstudio

This is not a complete list, they are just suggestions.

Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions

2017-12-23 Thread enduzzer

I wonder if you can share some information regarding other candidates for FSF  
endorsement.


LibertyBSD, perhaps?
