Yes, that's what it means.

Thanks Chaosmonk, this work around worked for me too. Abrowser is back up and  
running again. But does having that value set to "false" mean that I won't be  
able to use free WiFi that relies on a connection portal instead of a WiFi  
password? That would be a real pain if and when I return to China.

Is it possible for the OP (or an admin) to modify the title of this post to  
something more specific, and add "solved"? This could be helpful to other  
users who strike a similar problem and try searching the forums for help  
before starting a new thread.

I tried to access https://www.palemoon.org using both IceCat and Abrowser,  
both gave me this error:


>> Secure Connection Failed

communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser refusing to launch after a recent system upgrade

2020-02-11 Thread strypey
Thanks for the pointer to the pre-existing thread, I did search for one  
before opening a new one, but failed to find it. Yes, the issue seems to be  
the same. When I start a guest session Abrowser launches as normal. The only  
add-ons I use are NoScript and uBlock Origin, but maybe one (or both) of them  
could have something to do with the problem?


Re: [Trisquel-users] how to get pixel-perfect image in low resolutions?

2020-02-11 Thread David Philipe Gil
This issue is the main reason why I do not ever want to have or use 4k or 
higher screens. I like my pixels crisp and sharp. I am even considering buying 
a CRT monitor again. Love pixel 4 ever... <3

[Trisquel-users] how to get pixel-perfect image in low resolutions?

2020-02-11 Thread tonklin
how to get xrandr (or maybe some other tool?) to use "nearest neighbour"  
approximation algorithm (or otherwise disable blurring) when (for example)  
3840x2160 ("4K") screen is switched to 1920x1080 resolution?


this reddit thread seems to describe a patch that allows to achieve it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/5o1obf/is_there_a_way_to_force_nearest_neighbor_scaling/
but this patch seems to be abandoned...

As you say the BusyBox ash terminal does not show fsck as a valid command
BUT your advice of running "fsck -y /dev/sda5" worked perfectly. I do
appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

To Andy,

Hello, Andy. I see you are a new member in this forum and I'm glad to see  
you. For you question, firstly our operating system is GNU/Linux, not only  
Linux, as the latter is a component and not the whole operating system.  
Secondly, I do not really grasp your wordings, did you mean you were looking  
for a lightweight GNU/Linux system to run FreeCAD? If that so, I can say that  
Trisquel 9.0 Etiona (yes, I am running 9.0 LiveCD to write this reply) will  
work well with your 3GB RAM and even better with the 4GB one and best with  
7GB one. If you are learning FreeCAD, I recommend you to make friends with  
FreeCAD Forum https://forum.freecadweb.org which is a great community with  
thousands of posts already. From this forum, I believe you will be interested  
with 'Users Showcase' subforum[1]. Enjoy Trisquel!

Why do you refer Debian. Here is Trisquel Users. OK, I will check it and  
report it after I prepared mie goreng.

It's here. Right click "Network Connections" icon on the task bar and select  
"Edit Connections". Click the "plus" (+) button and select "DSL/PPPoE" from  
the drop-down list.
