Re: [Trisquel-users] Does PlayOnLinux work with Trisquel 8?
When I saw this thread, I thought about mentioning this, but it seems it is irrelevant now that you did so... kudos!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting
That is good news considering how long ago icedove has been behind the times... 38.8 is extremely old.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Does PlayOnLinux work with Trisquel 8?
Yeah, I was searching for "icotool" in Synaptic, which was the reason why I didn't find it - not sure what I was thinking. :P Even wine installed fine this time.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does PlayOnLinux work with Trisquel 8?
> Yeah I tried that method without luck also. You need to be specific about what went wrong in order for us to help. When something doesn't work, specify what you expected to happen and what happened instead. For now though, try the instructions from my last post, since I know that it works on Trisquel 8, will install PlayOnLinux natively, and will be a good learning experience for you. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does PlayOnLinux work with Trisquel 8?
Yeah I tried that method without luck also. I was able to install the trusty version, but the program would not let me install "non-listed programs".
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does PlayOnLinux work with Trisquel 8?
> How do I do that?:)
Rather than only telling you how, I'm going to walk you through the problem
solving process by which I figured out how. You'll notice that I don't really
know what I'm doing. I just try things, figure out why they didn't work, fix
the problem, and repeat until everything works. I suggest you learn to do this
approach too. You can get pretty far with it.
-- begin walkthrough --
First we need a copy of the source code. We will use git to make a clone of the
repository on our machine.
$ sudo apt install git
$ cd path/to/somewhere
$ git clone https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/POL-POM-4
This creates a directory called POL-POM-4. Let's see what's inside
$ cd POL-POM-4
$ ls
I notice there is a directory called bin.
$ ls bin
check_dd_amd64.bz2 check_dd_x86.bz2
After we build the program, binaries should appear here. I also see something
called Makefile. A makefile tells GNU Make how to build the program. Let's try
using make now.
$ make
We get an error:
./src/check_direct_rendering.c:33:19: fatal error: GL/gl.h: No such file or
directory
Looks like the development libraries for opengl are required and I don't have
them installed. Let's fix that and try again.
$ sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev
$ make
No errors. Let's see what's in bin now.
$ ls bin
check_dd_amd64.bz2 check_dd_x86.bz2 playonlinux playonlinux-check_dd
playonlinux-pkg
Looks good. Now we'll use 'make install' to install the program.
$ sudo make install
cp: cannot stat './bin/{playonlinux,playonlinux-pkg}': No such file or directory
Huh. What's './bin/{playonlinux,playonlinux-pkg}'? Let's find out:
$ echo ./bin/{playonlinux,playonlinux-pkg}
./bin/playonlinux ./bin/playonlinux-pkg
This is called brace expansion. './bin/{playonlinux,playonlinux-pkg}' is short
for './bin/playonlinux ./bin/playonlinux-pkg', but somebody isn't figuring that
out. The problem is that the makefile does not specify which shell to use, and
we are defaulting to one that doesn't support brace expansion. To fix this, add
SHELL=/bin/bash
at the top of Makefile and try again.
$ sudo make install
That worked! Now let's try to run the program.
$ playonlinux
No module named wxversion
Crap. Let's see if there's something we can install called wxversion.
$ apt-cache search wxversion
python-wxversion - API for selecting the wxPython version to use
Cool. We'll take it.
$ sudo apt install python-wxversion
$ playonlinux
I get a bunch more messages about missing stuff related to Python and wx. I'm
getting impatient at this point, so I install all packages that begin with
'python-wx'
$ sudo apt install python-wx*
$ playonlinux
I now get a popup saying "PlayOnLinux cannot find cabextract
You need to install it to continue"
Okay.
$ sudo apt install cabextract
$ playonlinux
I get three similar popups, the first two telling me that I need things from
icoutils and the third telling me I need wine. The program actually launches
now, but it probably won't work without those dependencies.
$ sudo apt install icoutils wine
$ playonlinux
Finally, the program launches with no errors.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Wi-Fi Adapter Requires Unplug and Replug to Allow Connection to Wi-Fi Networks
I've attached some screenshots to illustrate what is going on. I also discovered that I can Disable Networking and then re-Enable it, and it will reconnect my wireless that way.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting
"What I don't get is why programs, especially apps such as Icedove, that are already known to be libre aren't automatically updated in the Trisquel repositories. Why isn't that a "push" process?" There is no Icedove package in Ubuntu to take and automatically update. Take a look: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=icedove=names=all=all The Icedove in Trisquel exists only as a result of cleaning up Ubuntu's Thunderbird which, as you've said for the other things, requires work.

[Trisquel-users] Wi-Fi Adapter Requires Unplug and Replug to Allow Connection to Wi-Fi Networks
I'm using Trisquel 8.0 with a Penguin Wireless G USB Adapter for GNU / Linux (TPE-G54USB2) from ThinkPenguin. It works great when it's first plugged in - I get the menu for "Wi-Fi Networks", allowing me to connect to my wireless network. But, after rebooting my computer, nothing appears under "Wi-Fi Networks". I have to unplug the adapter and plug it back in, for it to show me wireless networks. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

No thank you to the rain / wet look. I like the blue - green color scheme.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does PlayOnLinux work with Trisquel 8?
I haven't tried it myself in Trisquel, but PlayOnLinux is written in Python and doesn't need to be built. On the PlayOnLinux download page, click "All distributions" and download the generic package and extract it. Then run ./playonlinux (the file is actually not an executable, it's a script)

It means that the binary they provide was compiled for Ubuntu 14.04, on which Trisquel 7 is based. That does not necessarily mean that it won't work on Ubuntu 16.04/Trisquel 8. Try it, and if it doesn't work you can always build it yourself. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Friday meeting
"Also though, the updates are much more infrequent, especially icedove. which last I checked is still at 38.8 on trisquel 7." This is what I don't get. I get that processing Ubuntu to flush out unfree software is labor intensive. I get that the transition from GNOME Fallback to MATE is an extra effort beyond the usual update. So I get how Trisquel 8 development has been throttled due to shortage of available man-hours, with Quidam having a full time job, and some but not enough other volunteer coders and testers. What I don't get is why programs, especially apps such as Icedove, that are already known to be libre aren't automatically updated in the Trisquel repositories. Why isn't that a "push" process?
[Trisquel-users] Does PlayOnLinux work with Trisquel 8?
I noticed that on PlayOnLinux' download page: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html There is noe "xenial" version of the Ubuntu package. I remember when I was installing Wine through their own website people here on this forum told me (mason if I remember correctly) that I needed to add the "xenial" repository, and not trusty. Here I am on PlayOnLinux' website trying to install PlayOnLinux and notice that there is noe xenial version, only trusty. Does this mean that PlayOnLinux is incompatible with Trisquel 8?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Iridium installation
Please try to run apt-get install libpam-gnome-keyring This should install the piece of software you need and opening Iridium afterwards should present you with an option to unlock the keyring for you everytime you open the browser. I don't know why the keyboard layout would change, however - unless the primary layout was set to US or UK, maybe.
Re: [Trisquel-users] ebook reader advice
Those actually look like good devices I could live with for a price I'd be willing to pay! Thanks for mentioning it, I might actually get one. AOSP definitely isn't perfect, but better than the kind of stuff one can expect on a Amazon Fire shmablet out of the box...

If we were to go with Neto, the pronounciation could be "neat-o" ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Needs A Name
This once I would like a name that ends with a vowel, such as Secuana or Habrena. Anyway, both are gods associated with rivers; this is suitable for the new version: if Ubuntu 18.04 is a beaver, we can give him a place to live in freedom. ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Documentation for Trisquel (or other libre GNU/Linux distros)
I most definitely would be :) Monthly might be a bit too often, depending on the scope. But having a scheduled clean-up to "weed out" outdated articles, update information or add new pages sounds like a great idea.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Documentation for Trisquel (or other libre GNU/Linux distros)
I'm interested in doing some wiki gardening for trisquel. Would you be interested in helping with that? It'd be sweet to set-up a monthly wiki clean-up.
