Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Alpha Images
Try resizing the panel instead of system settings window. Right-click on the panel and slect properties. I also find that we can now add applets from there which I would have never found that out otherwise. Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Alpha Images
Small observation - Update manager shows Ubuntu 7.0 instead of Trisquel 7.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser - DuckduckgoSSL
Thank you! Thabks a lot.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser - DuckduckgoSSL
I like the way they name the button 'Quack' instead of 'Go' or 'Search'.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser - DuckduckgoSSL
Why is it so? And I find many websites of free softwares listed in their list of affected websites like gnu.org. Does it cause any major performance issue?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser - DuckduckgoSSL
I installed the add-on and it works well but when I clicked the link to FSF India's link from gnu.org it loaded as normal http page intead of https. I could not get to the page directly by typing gnu.org.in.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser - DuckduckgoSSL
Sorry for that mistake. Anyway, the point is that it appears with the globe sign on the address bar instead of the lock that is seen with https pages.
[Trisquel-users] Blag Gnu and Linux
I installed Blag Gnu and Linux on a new partition but can't see grub on boot. Blag boots directly. I checked and found all my files were safe and could see my home folder of Trisquel. Please help.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Blag Gnu and Linux
There is only this line in the file.. 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet rhgb"'
Re: [Trisquel-users] Blag Gnu and Linux
Yes, but it shows Blag only.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Blag Gnu and Linux
Thank you friends for the support. I had some ISO files of GNU\Linux operating systems that I had downloaded to see how they work. Made a live USB of one of them boot into it and now everything's fine. I installed it in the smalll partition I had created for Blag.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser for KDE Users
I learn that Abrowser is about to be replaced by GNU IceCat. Will this patch work with IceCat? https://trisquel.info/en/forum/goodbye-abrowser-long-live-abrowser
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser for KDE Users
Thats good. I am typing this from IceCat on Blag running on Qemu. Its pretty good and has FSF's free add-ons page instead of Mozilla's Get Addons page like we have the similar page for Abrowser.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser secure page problems
I have problems with Abrowser 30 too. I cannot log into 'trello.com' directly. And like alucardx's banking site, they worked fine with its previous version. I thought it was a problem with the website since it does not run properly on all web browsers but now even I agree to alucardx's remarks.

I tired after enabling them but didn't work for me.

[Trisquel-users] BIOS settings not found
Here is my new question on askbuntu. "My friend installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on his Samsung NP 300 G5X laptop that had 4GB RAM and a 700GB HDD. He encrypted the Ubuntu installation and used LVM. After reboot he was taken directly to grub. He was successful in booting into Ubuntu a couple of times but then on entering passphrase he started getting this reply - 'fs type not found'. Now, he is stuck with this and cannot even boot from any live media for his BIOS settings is not appearing." Anybody out here to help???
Re: [Trisquel-users] BIOS settings not found
He tried that too but failed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] BIOS settings not found
He took it to a Samsung service center. They said they shall change something in the BIOS.
Re: [Trisquel-users] BIOS settings not found
Thank you for being so concerned. Though I'm a newbie I have a suggestion. I heard that small distros like Puppy Linux can be installed on pen drives. Can we make Puppy Linux run on our system withouth accessing BIOS settings menu?
Re: [Trisquel-users] I've seen the apple conference of 2014 and I feel outraged.
If you turn a few pages of history you'll find out that their glorified MAC OS X is actually based on GNU\Linux(or Linux as they refer to). Search for Darwin and MKLinux projects. So, I'm not surprised a bit.
Re: [Trisquel-users] BIOS settings not found
The BIOS works correctly. The problem is that he encrypted the whole installation but his passphrase is not accepted. Even I would have suggested Trisquel but without accessing BIOS settings menu how can he change boot device priority? I thought one could get away with that while using these small distros for they install into the USB flash drive but I was wrong. I had to configure BIOS to boot from USB even though it was not a live one but one that had the OS installed into.
Re: [Trisquel-users] BIOS settings not found
He did try that but they seem to work only in the past as you mentioned.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I've seen the apple conference of 2014 and I feel outraged.
Yes, but they started these projects to make improvements in the OS. MkLinux was the first attempt by Apple to support a free and open source software project. The work done with the Mach 3.0 kernel in MkLinux was extremely helpful in bringing up NeXTSTEP on the Mac platform, which would later become OS X. OS X is based on the Mach 3.0 microkernel, designed by Carnegie Mellon University, and later adapted to the Power Macintosh by Apple and the Open Software Foundation Research Institute (now part of Silicomp). This was known as osfmk, and was part of MkLinux (http://www.mklinux.org). Later, this and code from OSF’s commercial development efforts were incorporated into Darwin’s kernel. Throughout this evolutionary process, the Mach APIs used in OS X diverged in many ways from the original CMU Mach 3 APIs. You may find older versions of the Mach source code interesting, both to satisfy historical curiosity and to avoid remaking mistakes made in earlier implementations. — Apple, Inc., Kernel Programming Guide: Mach API Reference Source :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MkLinux#cite_note-AppleKernelProgrammingGuide-3
Re: [Trisquel-users] I've seen the apple conference of 2014 and I feel outraged.
The best thing is that they understand that people may not accept these innovations readily no matter how good they are. So, free desktop environment makers always give users an option to kepp using the older versions while they get familiarised with the new interface. They don't just leave us with little option.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Sound problems with Trisquel 7
A few months ago, while I was using Ubuntu, I found that no sound came out of my speakers. I re-installed Pulse Audio and everything worked fine.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I've seen the apple conference of 2014 and I feel outraged.
That day has unfortunately come. I don't have much programming knowledge so I spend a lot of time checking out artworks and themes. In the websites that host these works I have noticed people commenting - "The Apple design team is so perfect that most of the themes for Gnome and KDE are inspired from OS X." That is some OS X fan speaking but what worries me more is the number of "OPEN SOURCE" distros coming up that have customised DEs based on Gnome and KDE to prove they are close to OSX and Windows.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I've seen the apple conference of 2014 and I feel outraged.
It is better that people don't use Free software at all than choosing it because it is free of cost. I chose Trisquel not because it is free. I coul have easily got a pirated Windows on my PC so easily. They are out in plenty in countries like mine. I chose it because of the philosophy. *I once read RMS said in an interview - "There are several meanings for the word FREE in a dictionary and only one of them means of no cost".

[Trisquel-users] GDM
Why GDM is not in the repos of Trisquel 7? Also, I saw gnome shell 3.8 and 3.10. Why is it so?
Re: [Trisquel-users] GDM
I installed using this ISO trisquel_7.0-20140709_i686.iso. Is it outdated? I am sure I didn't find gdm. When I tried to install gnome-shell 3.10 I got a list of many packages that where not going to be installed. I manually installed many but gdm coz it was not to be found anywhere. I finally used ppa to install it. Also, I found a meta-package for gnome 3.8. Trying to install it gave me a notice for dependency problems.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where do I start looking so I can customize my desktop environment?
If you are using any DE based on gnome you'll find everythig on gnome-look.org.

There is a package called 'Disk' utility. Go to system settings and launch Disk utility. Check if your device is listed there.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNOME 3 Installation How to
I ran this :- sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gnome-shell That's it. If you check synaptic you will find a meta package 'gnome-shell'. This command installs it.

You simply need to change the bg.jpg file. It has got an animation that makes the background keep rotating at a comfortable speed. I will soon give a demo video.
Re: [Trisquel-users] HTML5 login screens for mdm
I am strangely addicted to Trisquel with Gnome Shell. Only thing I dislike is the grey GDM3 theme. It would be nice if GDM will include HTML5 themes.
Re: [Trisquel-users] HTML5 login screens for mdm
Yes indeed. It is an HTML theme named Mint-X.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Stallman uses Trisquel GNU/Linux for computation.

you need not do a fresh install of min straight away. Try installing LXDE desktop. It is a light weight GUI used in Trisquel Mini, Lubuntu etc. You can install it from Add/Remove Applications. After installing, log out and click on the icon beside your name in the login window and choose LXDE.

[Trisquel-users] Trisquel Mini on a netbook with 700MHz CPU and 512MB RAM
I am looking forward to buy this very affordable netbook(http://idasystems.net/products/smartbook) which is a bit low on specs. It cums with a custom distro based on Ubuntu Mavericks that obviously does not suit me and is certainly outdated. I am playing with Trisquel Mini on my PC and I noticed I can make it run using about 150MB RAM if I switch from LightDM to LxDM. CPU usage was also minimal. Then it dawned on me that I did not check them during the installation process. So I booted again from a Live USB. Sadly RAM and CPU usage increases by a large margin when the installer configures the system. Any workaround?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Mini on a netbook with 700MHz CPU and 512MB RAM
