Re: [Trisquel-users] Right click secure delete in Trisquel 8
> All from a simple right click and from within caja. I still have > not found a solution for secure deleting files, I am still using the CLI > for that. By secure delete do you mean 'srm' from the secure-delete package? I'll answer your question assuming that's what you mean. If not, this will still work for whatever terminal command you are using. Run 'caja-actions-config-tool' and create a new action. Under the 'Action' tab, change the 'Context label' field to "Secure Delete". Then go to the 'Command' tab. In the 'Path' field put 'srm' (or whichever command you're using) and in the 'Parameters' field put '%b'. Hit 'Save'. Next go to Edit -> Prefences and deselect "Create a root 'Caja-Actions' Menu". Now, when you right-click on a file in Caja, you should see 'Secure Delete'. If you also want to be able to secure delete directories, change the command in caja-actions-config-tool from 'srm' to 'srm -r'. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Right click secure delete in Trisquel 8
As a bonus reply to some of my own questions, I found this out https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/caja-seahorse Installing it was easy and gave me the ability to import signatures, verify it, etc. All from a simple right click and from within caja. I still have not found a solution for secure deleting files, I am still using the CLI for that. But hope to find something. Any help greatly appreciated. P.S.: Yes I am aware Magic Banana explained how to use nautilus and gnome-shell. But I am trying to stick with the default mate desktop in which I have already invested some time configuring things my way. So, yeah, I am sticking with caja.

Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME Videos: Apple Movie Trailers
I have not tried Videos on Trisquel. And... oh, for crying out loud! It doesn't work!
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME Videos: Apple Movie Trailers
> By the way, Videos is a great way to search and view YouTube videos without proprietary JavaScript. I just installed it to try it out. I really don't get how it works, if I press the "search"-icon I can type in stuff to search for, but it defaults to search for stuff in my own filesystem. Now if I change the place to search for stuff from "filesystem" to "YouTube" it's suddenly not possible to type anything. Is this a bug that someone else has experienced?

I haven't tried this, but if totem uses youtube-dl/avideo as its backend for accessing youtube, you could try creating ~/.config/youtube-dl.conf containing this line: --prefer-free-formats so that if a WebM is available (it often is) it will use that instead of defaulting to MP4. If totem doesn't use youtube-dl/avideo, you could try youtube-viewer, which does. https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Telegram/Tray (Mate Panel) Bug
We are let to believe that there are so many options to choose from, but when you think about it, the use cases, the best one is still to meet the person you want to speak with "in person" Thx for all the infos you shared.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME Videos: Apple Movie Trailers
Are you able to actually play any of the Apple trailers? I get an error: "Could not initialize the supporting library", but this could be due to an unrelated bug. My impression from this forum is that totem is buggy in general, at least in Trisquel. If the videos can be played without non-free software, then watching them through totem is better freedomwise than watching them through iTunes. The trailers themselves are presumably non-free, but since they are not “information for practical use” this on its own is not a FSDG issue. > My concern with banning Apple movie trailers is, wouldn't banning it > mean you'd have to ban all of YouTube? That wouldn't be good. I think there is a difference between banning and not promoting. Not including a channel by default is not a ban, since the user is still free to add that channel. Including it by default promotes it. Apple is a nasty company, and I don't see why they deserve the privilage of being promoted by Trisquel. I feel the same way about including Amazon and Google as one-click search engines in Abrowser. There is another issue, which is that these videos are trailers. Trailers are intended to encourage the viewer to watch the full movie. Can the full movies be accessed through totem? I doubt it, in which case they will encourage the user to view the film elsewhere. It is often very difficult to obtain some films without DRM or non-free software. It's probably not a good idea to advertise a film unless you provide a freedom-respecting path toward obtaining that film. I assume that this Apple crap is from upstream. I wonder what the default newsfeeds in Lifrea are in Ubuntu? In Trisquel, they are all freedom-friendly sources like LibrePlanet and the Trisquel forums. I doubt that these are the defaults in Ubuntu. Perhaps the default channels in totem could be replaced with something a more freedom-friendly source than Apple. > But, you could argue that Apple movie trailers is something very > specific, and that specific thing should be banned while non-specific > things like YouTube should not. I feel the same way about YouTube. There is nothing wrong with providing Trisquel users with a means of watching Youtube videos without proprietary software, such as avideo (which should replace youtube-dl), but there is no reason to actively promote Youtube. If Trisquel promotes any websites for obtaining media, they should be freedom-respecting ones like Libre.FM or MediaGoblin. > By the way, Videos is a great way to search and view YouTube videos > without proprietary JavaScript.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Input methods
I found a solution. I unchecked "Use system keyboard layout" under Advanced in UBus Preferences. I checked "Show icon on system tray" under General. In Keyboard Preferences, under Layouts, I removed all keyboards except my main one. Now, all input methods are accessible with Super+Space, and (as an improvement from Trisquel 7) each icon for each input method has an easily viewable label in big letters. (Before, each input method had the same icon, and then a small text below it saying what it actually was.) In addition, there are new input methods for things I never got to type, like International Phonetic Alphabet and kaomoji. I haven't found an emoji input method yet, though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME Videos: Apple Movie Trailers
My concern with banning Apple movie trailers is, wouldn't banning it mean you'd have to ban all of YouTube? That wouldn't be good. But, you could argue that Apple movie trailers is something very specific, and that specific thing should be banned while non-specific things like YouTube should not. By the way, Videos is a great way to search and view YouTube videos without proprietary JavaScript. My only gripe is that it fetches videos in MP4 format instead of WebM, so it won't work on stock Fedora.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME Videos: Apple Movie Trailers
GNOME apps have two names: a technical/package name, and a display name. For example, Web is called "epiphany" still, in the package managers. Videos is still totem, but it is no longer Totem with a capital T.

Re: [Trisquel-users] No suspend or hibernate options in GnomeShell
Alright I just did that and the power preferences looked consistent with what I set in gnome-tweak-tool yet changing them didn't have any effect. I'm good with initiating hibernate from the command line now so feel welcome to work on more important issues instead. If you ever need I try something though, I'll be happy to help. Thanks.
