[Trisquel-users] camcorder to DVD
Hello: I have a video camcorder (with a hard drive) that contains files in the mpeg format. I need to convert these videos to DVDs, and will also need a menu screen to allow people using DVD players w/ tv to start the video and maybe pick between two of them. In the past I've had problems making DVDs using Trisquel. Does anybody have recommendations on how to do this, and what software to use? Thanks for your help, Loic

I think I tried Pitivi for editing and then never got to the point I could burn the DVD, or if it succeeded once, people complained they couldn't play it on their Mac or DVD player hooked up on TV. I'll try Devede. Thanks for the tip! Loic

Re: [Trisquel-users] Stallman on the Linux Action Show
The question to you: if that's what you think all right. But then, why keep posting on a mailing which is mostly constituted of people with a different opinion? It's like joining a smoking cessation group to tell people there they are wrong to quit smoking. People here gather for their common views of free software :) do you share that view? -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. tegskywal...@hotmail.com wrote: I'm not trolling. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them a troll. Especially when my arguments are detailed and not simply OMG GHEY! responses. Stallman wants Microsoft to get rid of 80,000 employees. Stallman would rather people stave and go on government assistance than make a living writing software. Stallman wants everything to be shared and owned by a collective but not just in software but everything including art. Stallman doesn't have solutions to proprietary solutions and repeats himself and gets angry when the person talking to him doesn't follow his script. It is a childish and unrealistic view of the world.

Also, a lot of the bugs I found in Unity 3D weren't there in 2D. After much time using Unity I find the gnome 2 app menu difficult to navigate compared to typing the name of the program you want to run in Unity. I like Gnome shell as well, not so much the Gnome 3 fall-back... Or at least I certainly prefer Unity 2D to the fall-back. The fall-back feels too much like a second thought to me. In any case, whatever choice Trisquel makes, I'll be happy with it! :-) People can install their own interface if they are not happy. I'd be the first to install something else if I'm not happy, but criticizing Trisquel or any other distribution for its default interface seems counterproductive to me and those unsolvable debates always seem to hurt a distribution... Does anybody share this point of view?
[Trisquel-users] trisquel.info login issue
Hi, I can't log into trisquel.info. I can reset my password fine (and I'm logged after clicking the reset link), but then if I log out then try to log back in, I always get Sorry, unrecognized username or password. I've tried with passwords as easy to type as test and that's still not working. Can anyone reproduce this? Thanks, Loic
Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe discontinuing standalone Flash for Linux
They are working on a version that would only work on **Chrome** (I suspect it would work in Chromium). This comes somewhat as a surprise to me that Google worked in close collaboration with Adobe for this... For me it's one more reason to use Mozilla-based browsers (Abrowser, Icecat, ...)!

If a company develops a closed program, everything related to this program will be dominated by them. That's a stupid, potentially spying plugin, so no big loss there. But it shows that we are on the right side of the fence. Flash is dying anyway, I've heard from people it is a bitch to use as a developer and html 5 can embed videos more easily and most important without the need for a plugin.

There is a little stock left with the AR9170 chipset anywhere and the prices are skyrocketing. We got a hold of a small quantity recently to head off the ever increasing price of these adapters. There were maybe 800 adapters a few months ago from one of our suppliers. Last month there were maybe 200. We bought most of them. Now there are none left. There are a few other sources although the prices are going to skyrocket everywhere. They have already doubled in price. We are already seeing companies taking advantage of this scarcity with $120+ USD price points. Sounds difficult! Hopefully there will be more wireless adapters with free firmware/drivers in the future (how can we help that happen?). I have a laptop with Intel Centrino Wireless N 6150 which of course requires a non-free blob. The license in there mentions that you can't reverse engineer it etc... Does it make it illegal to make a free alternative? Surely there must be some way to figure out how it has been done, but if figuring 'it' out is illegal then we're stuck. Just curious, why do manufacturers do that? What are they afraid of? What advantage does it give them? Is competition their only worry? What can we do to increase the pressure on those manufacturers? Emailing?

I have a few partitions in there, one that is /home and that i want to keep. I also had a windows partition in case I needed to return it, and I can get rid of it. If nothing works I'll just wipe the whole hard drive. But I was thinking of updating the ubiquity package with a more recent version first (since there is no issue with ubuntu 11.10).

LibreJS is slated to become a GNU Project very soon and I'm adding lots of new features and refining much of the logic behind detecting nontrivial JavaScript. So please let me know if you have any other issue. Also please note that LibreJS currently only accepts JavaScript as free when a free license is explicitly mentioned the @licstart @licend stylized comments as detailed in the JavaScript trap, I'm in the process of adding new ways that are thought out by the FSF currently. Very soon we (and potentially you!) will start complaining to a large number of sites and ask them to explicitly provide licensing information in their JavaScript files and pages. So, stay tuned!

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I am aware of the Drupal problem, I myself am a Drupal developer for work. The @licstart @licend stylized comment isn't a rule set by LibreJS but by the JavaScript Trap, and as I mentioned earlier, the FSF is also working on other solutions that would be more appropriate for Drupal js aggregation. One method that is being developed is to have a special page listing js files and their licenses. LibreJS will check the list of files and licenses and accept/block them accordingly. However in the case of Drupal js, the solution is mostly on Drupal's end. What I'm thinking about is to make a module that would pick that randomly string name from Drupal (like js_bbe6e4697cfa320ffe37240eb8ad6ad1.js view-source:http://trisquel.info/files/js/js_bbe6e4697cfa320ffe37240eb8ad6ad1.js) and generate that list automatically with the appropriate license. Then LibreJS would accept that file based on its name if the site declares it to be free (under GPLv2 for instance, or another free license). Do you think you could make such module? As I explained, I develop Drupal modules for my own projects and this has been on my list but I've been swamped with just LibreJS so far... so it takes priority on Drupal. So anyway, unlike the post you linked to, I don't think LibreJS is flawed, it's only strictly applying the method described in the JavaScript trap so far, and both Drupal and LibreJS can be made to work together! :-D Loic
