[Trisquel-users] Choosing 32-bit or 64-bit
Hello Trisquel Users, http://trisquel.info/en/download http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/customizing-trisquel-iso I am customizing* Trisquel Mini* Distro, as part of my job. I am using a 32-bit version of Trisquel-Mini. I take the filesystem.squashfs, unsquash it to a local directory, chroot to that directory and make changes (install new packages) and then come out of it and rebuild the new .iso. It is as specified in the above url. I have been doing this in my PC, which is a Debian 32-bit OS and a 64-bit Intel processor. Everything works fine until this point. I have chosen a Debian 32-bit OS, as the Trisquel Mini is 32-bit. Now I would like to move my entire work to a VPS. I have taken a VPS, but there I have an option to install a 32-bit Debian or a 64-bit Debian as the guest OS. So which one I should choose ? Do I have to really depend on a 32-bit OS, as my work is with 32-bit Trisquel-Mini ? Is there any benefit keeping such a dependency ? (I will be modifying the distro using a chroot environment.) Please provide your suggestions. Thanks, Aniyan

[Trisquel-users] boot from usb stick
Hello, I have used the method in the following url to create a trisquel-modified.iso. http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/customizing-trisquel-iso I wrote trisquel-modified.iso in a cdrom and it boots fine without any problems. Then I used my usb stick and did the following. (The usb stick was having one FAT32 partition). dd if=trisquel-modified.iso of=/dev/sdb1 It wrote the contents of trisquel-modified.iso to sdb1. Then I tried booting from the usb stick, but it never boot. It is just showing the screen Loading the Operating System... and it stays there. Please help me to know, what is wrong here. Thanks.

Re: [Trisquel-users] syslinux.cfg
You might also want to notice that slaine end-of-lifed on March 24, 2012. It's not a good idea to use unsupported software. That's okay for me. I just want to learn how that syslinux.cfg works. Is there any installation guide? Will that help? Thanks.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Volume muted by default
All I know is you can use the amixer command to set volume and mute/unmute. You can put that in start up scripts. Yes, I can do that to unmute the volume. I am currently using Slaine. I have found that the volume is muted by default for the other versions of Trisquel-Mini (squashfs based) too. Why is it so? Or is it a problem with my environment ?
[Trisquel-users] Volume muted by default
Hello, The Volume Applet is muted by default. As I am using the Trisquel-Mini (squashfs version, Slaine), this happens on every booting of the OS. How can I change it to 'not muted' by default ? Is there any settings file ? Thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] gecko-mediaplayer
Yes, I understand that and I know about multiverse in ubuntu. But debian lists that package in the free repository. I went through the license. Seems to be ok. I'm trying to do a streaming (.pls, .m3u, etc) using the online radio stations. So gecko + mplayer is the only thing that works easily and perfectly. I pulled out gecko from debian-squeeze. Is there any alternative software in Trisquel-Slaine?

Trisquel is made from Ubuntu and Ubuntu has 4 repository components 1) Main - Officially supported software. 2) Restricted - Supported software that is not available under a completely free license. 3) Universe - Community maintained software, i.e. not officially supported software. 4) Multiverse - Software that is not free. That package [in ubuntu 11.10] which is the basic equivalent if Trisquel 5.5 has that package in the multiverse repository. I don't know why it is there (it appears to be GPL) but maybe there is some patent restriction or something. We don't import any packages from the multiverse repo because for whatever reason they are determined by the Ubuntu community to be non-free. Hope that answers your question.
Re: [Trisquel-users] gecko-mediaplayer
As far as the radio question you can use Exaile as it has a radio station feature (tabs on the left side). I need a plugin that works with firefox. When the user access the radio websites, the plugin should play the radio within the browser. For example, www.somafm.com Please suggest. Thanks

Hello, Why the package gecko-mediaplayer is not present in Trisquel-Slaine? I think it is completely free. Is it present in any other versions of Trisquel? If not, what is the reason? Thanks, Aniyan
Re: [Trisquel-users] Brightness
Ah, I forgot you said you're on Slaine, sorry. You need to run gconf-editor (from gconf-editor package) and search for for 'dim'. Then toggle the relevant key's value from true to false. Can you tell me a command line way of doing it, as I'm in a chroot environment ? Thanks
Re: [Trisquel-users] Brightness
I ran the following command and made the gconftool working as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/qbzr/+bug/694279 #unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS But still the brightness changes, immediately when the AC is turned off. Also I found that the value of idle_dim_battery is not changed in the file /usr/share/gconf/schemas/gnome-power-manager.schemas So I changed it to false manually. I also changed some of the values of the tags related to the battery. But still not able to achieve the desired result. Please help. Thanks.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Brightness
Does your hardware (BIOS + video card) allow controlling brightness by software? Try the brightness applet, does it work? I'm able to control the brightness. But that is not something that I want to achieve. I want to disable the screen dimming (brightness reducing) feature, when the laptop is on battery. So that the brightness value will be the same all the time. Some one please help. Thanks,
