Re: [Trisquel-users] Studing for a GNU/Linux certification.
How can they certificate you in something you don't even know what is about :/ Anyway, I'll learn more about Red Hat, Fedora, Ubuntu, Shell Scripting, and the way a GNU/Linux system works. What type of users can it have, what type of permissions what is /bin/ /dev/ /boot/ /etc/ (I do mean etc) what is ext4 F2fs btrfs ext3 ext2 and file systems in general What is ssh and how to use it What is scp and how to use it What is a kernel What is a shell and which types exist What is a bootloader (grub, syslinux) What is an init (openrc, sysv) What is systemd What is apparmor, SELinux, grsecurity Maybe learn a little bit about telnet. How the kernel works, how it treats memory, what is a system call, what is a process, (I don't know much, but you get the idea) Also things related to LAMP servers. You probably already know all this, but I am trying to be explicit as maybe there is something you don't and it will help you. https://linuxjourney.com/ https://itsfoss.com/learn-linux-for-free/ http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy.pdf http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_recommendations In general the arch wiki is great

Re: [Trisquel-users] I noticed that trisquel beta is out.
I don't understand how systemd restricts freedom. There is hardly a piece of software you can use without dependencies. How is that bad? Systemd is not an init is a set of tools. So most desktop environments are using those tools. Avoiding doing the same work twice or more times. Also, by using systemd over a long period of time it is gonna be safer than having lots of fragmented distributions. Bugs and security vulnerabilities are easily found when there are more people working towards improving the software. As you said you don't trust systemd but I don't really see a reason not to.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I noticed that trisquel beta is out.
I like systemd though :) there are many reasons. 1.- I like that GNU/Linux world is becoming more standardized. When I started using it 2 years ago, there where a lot of init systems. Lots of default desktops. Lots of way to distribute software. Now suddenly everything is becoming systemd/GNOME/Wayland/Flatpak This is so good. The power of the community is going towards making a few things great. Instead of a lot of "good-enough" And I don't use GNOME. I use i3. The other options will swill exist but the defaults are gonna be really good for the majority. Specially the new ones :) 2.- systemd has lots of great options and tools. It is not a init. It is more than that. It might not follow Unix philosophy. But Unix philosophy isn't a law. And it has some flaws. 3.- It is so much faster than when I started with Ubuntu. My parabola boot time is awesome.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I noticed that trisquel beta is out.
Systemd is gonna be really hard to be avoided. GNOME and KDE are developing for it. Even devuan took months to be released. I don't think the amount of time and effort it requires is worth for a project like Trisquel. With cares about easy of use for home and office. Systemd works great for them.

Flatpak is just a way to install software, the softphone application or any other software you might want to install via flatpak won't be there. You gotta install flatpak with the PPA and then download the software you want and install it with Flatpak. However, I don't know which package is the one you want to install and if it is free software, so I can't help you more than that. You should check if what you are going to install is free software, as Trisquel can't do it for you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Command execution problem

[Trisquel-users] What system configurations do you change?
Hi, I've tried to learn as much as I can to make my experience with GNU/Linux the best. So there are a few things I change in my system to make it go faster. For example I always change swappiness to 1 in SSD and to 10 in HDD. Swappiness value controls the Linux kernel’s tendency to swap – that is, move information out of RAM and onto the swap file on the disk. It accepts a value between 0 and 100. 0: The kernel will avoid swapping process out of physical memory and onto the swap partition for as long as possible. 100: The kernel will aggressively swap processes out of physical memory and onto the swap partition as soon as possible. As RAM is much faster than drives I prefer to have the less so my experience is faster. This doesn't apply to servers or computers with little RAM. But in general it makes my experience faster. I also tweak Firefox (or libre version as Iceweasel, Icecat or Abrowser) to don't save cache. I've always installed preload but I don't really know if I have a real boost. But I still think it works better than nothing. On my laptop I always install TLP. You can read a bit more about how to do those things here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox/Tweaks https://www.howtogeek.com/115797/6-ways-to-speed-up-ubuntu/ https://itsfoss.com/speed-up-ubuntu-1310/ This are a few things I change in my system, what things do you do?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
This is really good advice. I hope you learned and enjoyed fixing your computer. As you can see the main way to solve a problem is generally looking at the error and looking for it in the internet. Sometimes the error has multiple lines and only one of them is the answer. If you ever have a problem with a program you don't know what is wrong. Try to launch it from the terminal. You can launch any program from tho terminal just type "thunderbird" or "abrowser". By the way there is a difference between your data and thinderb
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't open encrypted HDD

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
That is exactly the direction. Change directory to /etc/modprobe.d/ To do this in the terminal as root type this cd /etc/modprobe.d/ cd stands for Change Directory. After that you can create the file nano iwl3945.conf This will open the nano editor you should be able to type what you need. And after that close it with ctrl-x it will ask you to save changes hit the proper key as nano will show it. Nano has the advantage that at the bottom you will see most useful commands. But, if in doubt you can search internet for tutorials on how to use it. There are others like Vim or Vi but nano is really friendly for beginners. Don't worry we are closer to a fix now :) follow jxself steps and you will be safe.

Yeah they didn't help me much either. The answer was too technical and as you say you are new, I wasn't OK with it. Now that I think about it is not related to kernel. Because you can login with guest but not your user. Did you try to install a new Desktop Environment or something especial? Does WiFi works with guest? If it does is not related to WiFi.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
Isn't the splash screen grub?? If not this is: When GRUB 2 is fully functional, the GRUB 2 terminal is accessed by pressing c. If the menu is not displayed during boot, hold down the SHIFT key until it appears. If it still does not appear, try pressing the ESC key repeatedly.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
Press Shift or ESC at boot and in GRUB select advanced options hit enter and select a different kernel.

If that doesn't... Then I would rename ~/.config/i3/config And after that maybe .bash_profile or .bashrc or .bash Rename them to something else, if the problem continues then you can change the name back to the original. In an extreme case I would rename all ~./config to something like ~/.config_old The only thing I can't think of is that something in bash or in config is executing something you don't want, that is why root works but user doesn't. Of course this only if /home is decrypted

Re: [Trisquel-users] Issues with Guix retroarch on Trisquel
I am glad you solved your problem. Even though is an emulator, it still is proprietary software. The immoral problem of proprietary software is not that it has malevolent features, but that it doesn't respect your freedom, which is a malevolent feature from my point of view. So even if the emulator doesn't hurt your system it does hurt your freedom. Many of us here don't like that, that is why we will hardly help you, because we don't have proprietary programs and that means we just have no idea of how to solve a problem of a program we don't use. This is not a punishment for using proprietary software, instead, is just a lack of knowledge. But if you ever have a problem with free software, I am sure many more will help you :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Support Lisa's fundraiser today
Of course. However... You asked explicitly why should you help her, when you believe she lives in sin, I gave you an answer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Support Lisa's fundraiser today
If I remember correctly there is no such religion that advices against helping others, especially not by the way they look. And if your religion teaches you to not help others, if you don't agree with them or you don't like the way they look, then maybe you should reconsider it. I will suggest atheism as a moral way of life... But if you insisit in religion, there are many good options that teach you to ALWAYS help others, try to be a better person and NEVER judge others no matter what, as this is (in most religions) their deity's works. A few good options are: Christianity, Buddhism, Islamism, Judaism, Pastafarianism, IPU, among others. Just be careful, there is always people that try to teach religion to support they political agenda, forgetting their own believes. Try to learn the morality of the religion you choose and not the contaminated stuff. (Except for IPU and Pastafarianism this are outstanding examples of what religion should be). Anyway I hope someday you can learn why you should help others even if you don't agree with them. A society can't run with justice if we only treat right those who we agree with.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Questions about determining what is free software
If you install software in Trisquel with apt-get is going to be really hard that you install proprietary software. But if you use PPA's of Ubuntu this are not officialy supported by Trisquel and you have to check to make sure your freedom is not at risk. If you are a programmer or you like to play with the system there is a chance you will be asked to install software from python with pip pip install package In that case or some other package manager I think npm on JavaScript, (I don't know much about this package managers) but you have to be careful about them. Most of them don't have a strong policy about free software. So even in Trisquel you could install non-free software. Something similar happens to program's plugins. Just because a program is free doesn't mean the plugins are, so be careful if you download a plugin from Internet. This also is applied to Firefox and Thunderbird plugins, even if MPL 2.0 is compatible with GPL the plugins they recommended are not necessarily Free Software. Also, if you use Emacs or you ever starhmusing Emacs you probably will be suggested to install MELPA (more pthatns). I don't know about Vim but it also has lots of plugin's. Bottom line Trisquel will protect your freedom with apt-get. Apart from that, you are responsible of making sure other software you install is also libre. Which will probably be though. Except from Firefox and Thunderbird most of the cases I mentioned rarely have non-free software.

Now you might think, "yeah they didn't opposed, they probably helped those traitors". But let's be honest. If the NSA is treating you in a secret court and not collaborating can put you in jail for more than one federal crime, or any other way the NSA can bully you. What would you do? The NSA had the law and courts on their side... Again I am not saying Microsoft is the best company ever. But they deserve a fair judgement, they have done wrong but they were also forced to do even more wrong. We should not waste our time dealing with a company. Instead, we should worry about having a law system that would make such practices as proprietary software and surveillance, impossible. That is more of a problem than Microsoft.

Also, shellTube doesn't use the YouTube API at all. This avoids the annoying red-tapey stuff that goes with it -- IDs, registration, quota. https://github.com/JadedCtrl/Shelltube (yeah I pretty much copypaste the description :P her words are better than mine though ) 2.- I also use this GUI client called Kaku http://kaku.rocks/ some videos some times not work though, but I think it is related to youtube limiting some videos (a couple months back a few applications like VLC, youtube-dl and new pipe broke because of changes on youtube) https://github.com/EragonJ/Kaku So that is what I mostly use. Any comments and advice would be appreciated. In virtue of the recent problems with youtube-dl I thought this might help.

Now that they changed most of their code to GPL. But anyway I am glad that you liked. I didn't know about WebRTC to be honest. I'll try to convince my sister to use it. Lastly, you are right I think that Wire is a real opportunity to defeat Skype. It has a lot of great features and I hope more people start using it so people can ditch Skype. :) And yes, GNU Ring is great but has a long way to become as good as Wire. Just because Wire is not GNU doesn't make it less Free Software and I am sure RMS wouldn't tell me to stop using it :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
1.- If you click one of the many links i shared so far you can see it has support for desktop and mobile OS. 2.- They are intended for different purpose so I don't think one is better than the other. 3.- I don't think it makes a difference for how long the code is being free as long as it is free software. There are a few good things about Wire, as I already said: 1.- People who is not tech savy can use it without my help. 2.- No need for cellphone number. 3.- End to end encryption by default. 4.- Syncs account between devices. 5.- Send voice messages, files, images, emojis, GIF's, and drawnings. 6.- Text, audio and videocalls. 7.- Nice and clean interface. 8.- People I know is actually willing to change to wire as opposed to other things. This is why I like it so much. Not because I think is better. But because it had allowed me to use a free and secure way to communicate with family and friends before they get desperate and say "I don't understand this app" and uninstall.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
I just read the report, in 3 years they haven't get a single request from police :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Canonical is killing Unity 8, will ship GNOME as default
Yes :) Sadly it is also kind of heavy so Trisquel won't ship it :(
[Trisquel-users] Do you use GIMP or Krita? Why?
Which do you prefer and why do you think is better? I heard krita is getting really good :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
Well you can see the code in the same comment, it is under GPLv3. It also has end to end encryption and was independently audited recently: https://medium.com/@wireapp/wires-independent-security-review-61f37a1762a8 It is also based on Swiss and they do reports of every request they get https://wire.com/en/privacy/#transparency They have encryption on client side so there is not much they can share with the police though :) As for when it was created, honestly I don't know. I only care about when it became Free Software :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
But Wire is free software :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] I have tried everything...
I do have DVD's. I buy them on a regular store one block away of my house. You probably want to buy a few. Usually I find them to be better to try ISO's than regular USB. They take longer to boot, but are faster to burn. They also tend to have less problems like the one you are facing.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I have tried everything...
Did you try to boot with a Live DVD? Sometimes is the best :) it takes a little longer but wy less than figuring out the problem. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
GNU Ring lacks one really important thing is not simple to use. :/ my family and friends didn't understand it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
GNU Ring is great. However my family and friends had lots of problems to use it. With Wire they have had none. And as the server is free under AGPL and it has encryption by default on client side, privacy and freedom are not issues.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
Wire used to be proprietary software. That link is just outdated. Now it is under GPL https://github.com/wireapp/wire-android/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/wireapp/wire-desktop/blob/master/LICENSE And server is AGPL https://github.com/wireapp/wire-server/blob/master/LICENSE So don't worry :) it is Free Software now :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
Yes, but my family and friends wont. If you use IRC and want to play sometime join #LGN ;)
[Trisquel-users] Wire is Free Software now
I've wanted to tell you about wire for a couple months now. I am really happy :) https://wire.com/en/ Wire is software really similar to whatsapp or telegram. But is free now both client and server side. It also has encryption by default on client side. For messages, calls and videocalls. It also sync between devices, so you can sync it between smartphone and GNU/Linux. (Useful because you can send files, it works as a secure small cloud) It supports multiple OS so your friends and family can easily install on proprietary OS and is so intuitive they will use it quickly without your help :) You can send files, emojis and GIF's. You can also draw :) It uses Google Play services on adroid BUT it works without them too :) so it should work on Replicant. I must say I really like it. P.S.If anyone wants to talk with me over wire just let me now and I'll send you my account :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Canonical is killing Unity 8, will ship GNOME as default
Well I really like GNOME :)
