[Trisquel-users] Trouble getting nouveau to load instead of vesa for my nvidia 970
Hello! I'm completely new to Trisquel and libre software. I just did a fresh install of Trisquel 7 64 bit and everything went fine except my computer keeps using the basic vesa drivers instead of the nouveau ones. I updated all of my packages to the latest and even installed the latest linux-libre64 kernel. My Xorg.0.log shows that vesa is getting loaded. I went to the nouveau maintainer's website and looked at the trouble shooting section and tried their basic "4 line" x-server config but that didn't help me either. My graphics card is an nvidia gtx 970. I have attached my Xorg.0.log output in case anyone is interested in looking at it. Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious or my card won't work with the free software drivers. If so, I'll have to look into purchasing another graphics card since I don't want to run any proprietary drivers. Thanks for your time! :) [ 5.092]BitsPerPixel: 8 [ 5.092]NumberOfBanks: 1 [ 5.092]MemoryModel: 4 [ 5.092]BankSize: 0 [ 5.092]NumberOfImages: 1 [ 5.092]RedMaskSize: 0 [ 5.092]RedFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.092]GreenMaskSize: 0 [ 5.092]GreenFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.092]BlueMaskSize: 0 [ 5.092]BlueFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.092]RsvdMaskSize: 0 [ 5.092]RsvdFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.092]DirectColorModeInfo: 0 [ 5.092]PhysBasePtr: 0xf100 [ 5.092]LinBytesPerScanLine: 1920 [ 5.092]BnkNumberOfImagePages: 1 [ 5.092]LinNumberOfImagePages: 1 [ 5.092]LinRedMaskSize: 0 [ 5.092]LinRedFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.092]LinGreenMaskSize: 0 [ 5.092]LinGreenFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.092]LinBlueMaskSize: 0 [ 5.092]LinBlueFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.092]LinRsvdMaskSize: 0 [ 5.092]LinRsvdFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.092]MaxPixelClock: 22950 [ 5.093] Mode: 14c (1920x1080) [ 5.093]ModeAttributes: 0x3bf [ 5.093]WinAAttributes: 0x7 [ 5.093]WinBAttributes: 0x0 [ 5.093]WinGranularity: 64 [ 5.093]WinSize: 64 [ 5.093]WinASegment: 0xa000 [ 5.093]WinBSegment: 0x0 [ 5.093]WinFuncPtr: 0xc0007d60 [ 5.093]BytesPerScanline: 3840 [ 5.093]XResolution: 1920 [ 5.093]YResolution: 1080 [ 5.093]XCharSize: 8 [ 5.094]YCharSize: 16 [ 5.094]NumberOfPlanes: 1 [ 5.094]BitsPerPixel: 16 [ 5.094]NumberOfBanks: 1 [ 5.094]MemoryModel: 6 [ 5.094]BankSize: 0 [ 5.094]NumberOfImages: 1 [ 5.094]RedMaskSize: 5 [ 5.094]RedFieldPosition: 11 [ 5.094]GreenMaskSize: 6 [ 5.094]GreenFieldPosition: 5 [ 5.094]BlueMaskSize: 5 [ 5.094]BlueFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.094]RsvdMaskSize: 0 [ 5.094]RsvdFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.094]DirectColorModeInfo: 0 [ 5.094]PhysBasePtr: 0xf100 [ 5.094]LinBytesPerScanLine: 3840 [ 5.094]BnkNumberOfImagePages: 1 [ 5.094]LinNumberOfImagePages: 1 [ 5.094]LinRedMaskSize: 5 [ 5.094]LinRedFieldPosition: 11 [ 5.094]LinGreenMaskSize: 6 [ 5.094]LinGreenFieldPosition: 5 [ 5.094]LinBlueMaskSize: 5 [ 5.094]LinBlueFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.094]LinRsvdMaskSize: 0 [ 5.094]LinRsvdFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.094]MaxPixelClock: 22950 [ 5.095] *Mode: 14d (1920x1080) [ 5.095]ModeAttributes: 0x3bf [ 5.095]WinAAttributes: 0x7 [ 5.095]WinBAttributes: 0x0 [ 5.095]WinGranularity: 64 [ 5.095]WinSize: 64 [ 5.095]WinASegment: 0xa000 [ 5.095]WinBSegment: 0x0 [ 5.095]WinFuncPtr: 0xc0007d60 [ 5.095]BytesPerScanline: 7680 [ 5.095]XResolution: 1920 [ 5.095]YResolution: 1080 [ 5.095]XCharSize: 8 [ 5.095]YCharSize: 16 [ 5.095]NumberOfPlanes: 1 [ 5.095]BitsPerPixel: 32 [ 5.095]NumberOfBanks: 1 [ 5.095]MemoryModel: 6 [ 5.095]BankSize: 0 [ 5.095]NumberOfImages: 1 [ 5.095]RedMaskSize: 8 [ 5.095]RedFieldPosition: 16 [ 5.095]GreenMaskSize: 8 [ 5.095]GreenFieldPosition: 8 [ 5.095]BlueMaskSize: 8 [ 5.095]BlueFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.095]RsvdMaskSize: 8 [ 5.095]RsvdFieldPosition: 24 [ 5.095]DirectColorModeInfo: 0 [ 5.095]PhysBasePtr: 0xf100 [ 5.095]LinBytesPerScanLine: 7680 [ 5.095]BnkNumberOfImagePages: 1 [ 5.095]LinNumberOfImagePages: 1 [ 5.095]LinRedMaskSize: 8 [ 5.095]LinRedFieldPosition: 16 [ 5.095]LinGreenMaskSize: 8 [ 5.095]LinGreenFieldPosition: 8 [ 5.095]LinBlueMaskSize: 8 [ 5.095]LinBlueFieldPosition: 0 [ 5.095]LinRsvdMaskSize: 8 [ 5.095]LinRsvdFieldPosition: 24 [ 5.095]MaxPixelClock: 22950 [ 5.097] Mode: 160 (1280x800) [ 5.097]ModeAttributes: 0x3bf [ 5.097]WinAAttributes: 0x7 [ 5
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trouble getting nouveau to load instead of vesa for my nvidia 970
Well I did some more digging and found this post https://trisquel.info/en/forum/upgraded-video-card. Looks like I need to get an older nvidia card and check h-node to see what card I should buy. I'll keep this thread updated with what I end up getting. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trouble getting nouveau to load instead of vesa for my nvidia 970
Thanks for the info! :) I might have to look more into the Kepler cards. I actually just ordered a new desktop from ThinkPengiun with a Geforce 8400GS. Hoping that card works well and I get some 3D acceleration! It looks like h-node says that card works with nouveau drivers but it wasn't tested with Trisquel 7. If it works, I'll see if I can contribute to h-node.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trouble getting nouveau to load instead of vesa for my nvidia 970
Hi lembas! :) I care about freedom as well but I also have a deep passion for programming 3D graphics and would like to continue doing hobby projects on my GNU/Linux setup. The rest of my development stack works great on Trisquel and I'm happy to be moving over to the libre world. I sadly can't move completely over yet since I have clients that still require me to maintenance their Android/iPhone apps but someday I may be able to give that up. I'm just taking small steps at a time. :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trouble getting nouveau to load instead of vesa for my nvidia 970
That sucks that they downgrade their performance and put limits on it. :/ It'd be nice if there was a completely open source software/hardware based graphics accelerator but I know that would be a huge undertaking to build!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trouble getting nouveau to load instead of vesa for my nvidia 970
I'm okay with the downgraded performance. :) My philosophy on software has been changing recently and I'm really not into gaming that much any more. I don't like all of the DRM with AAA games coming out. My new geforce 8400gs has been fine for me so far. I plan on doing some more tinkering with graphics programming soon and I think it will suit my needs since I believe it supports the OpenGL 3.1 Spec. I donated my gtx 970 to my brother who plays games a lot on steam. :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Browsing and javascript
> How dangerous is javascript when browsing? JavaScript is how a lot of people lose protection on Tor. Personally, JavaScript programs have put me in the following situations: * unable to highlight text in article with cursor * unable to copy text in article with Ctrl+C * pop-ups * fan acceleration * kernel panic (I'm looking at you, Twitch!) > Does anyone in this forum browses the Internet with a javascript-disabled > browser? I do most the time. > Or maybe you just disable it when you are visiting a website you don't trust? Even if I can assume a JavaScript program is not malicious, I still refuse to run it because it is proprietary software. My only exceptions are free JavaScript, job applications, and Reddit. Also, if I just installed a new system and haven't bothered setting up AVideo (youtube-dl without DRM or background JS execution) I will temporarily use YouTube's proprietary embedded player if I'm certain the video won't be blocked by DRM when I go to download it with AVideo. More info about AVideo: https://notabug.org/GPast/avideo > What does the LibreJS add-on do? LibreJS is pretty neat. It tries to automatically detect if the scripts embedded in a page are under a free license. Unfortunately, this only works on a tiny amount of sites, and even GNU projects like GNU Taler have issues getting their site to pass LibreJS. However, the practices required by LibreJS aren't just stupid requirements of LibreJS. They're actually probably the only way you could legally distribute embedded JavaScript if it is under the GNU General Public License. In addition, it's really the only polite thing to do. Everything else on a website has copyright information at the bottom of the page, so why do people just neglect the copyright information on embedded scripts? It's only logical that there is a page on the site disclosing ALL copyright info to readers, incl. copyright on scripts. People may hate LibreJS because it does not work at all and probably never will, but everyone should be telling site owners to be transparent about the copyright information of the programs embedded in their pages. Composing an email to ask about copyright is a lot more work than just going to the bottom of the page to see copyright notices. > Does it make web browsing safer? Yes. It prevents crashing from heavy web apps, and it limits what Facebook and other malicious sites can do when you type stuff in their forms.

Security is not the same as user freedom. They are both important, but treating them as though they are the same will lead to incorrect conclusions. > Second, most javascript code that you find on smaller websites is visible in > your console, that means everybody can read what it's doing and in principle, > > every user can find harmful features and inform others about it. That's not source code. Source code is the preferred form for modifying the program, the same unmodified code that the author uses when they write or edit the program. Most JavaScript is minified and looks far different from what the author has, and can require reverse engineering skills to read. If that's source code, then a ready-to-run binary, assembled from Assembly language, qualifies as source code, even though binaries lack comments and variable names. > However, it's true that bigger websites which rely more on javascript mostly > minify and uglify their code, so you get a compressed and non-human-readable > version. When you process source code, it's no longer source code. > My personal opinion is that the fuss about non-free javascript is way, way > too big and exaggerated. It literally gave my machine a kernel panic. You think that's not a big deal? JavaScript also prevents users from doing basic tings on their computers, like highlighting text with their cursor while reading an article. A message popped up and told me "You can't do that!" We're not even talking about copying the text. We're just talking about selecting it with the cursor! And if you turn JavaScript off, the whole article is generated/pulled in with JavaScript and is not present in the page source at all, so you can't read any of it. That's not a world I want to live in, with DRM on simple web articles. > Besides, javascript applications are most of the time deeply connected with > the layout of the webpage and the server as a backend api. So? That JavaScript is a client to their server software, and it should be free software if it's going to run on my computer. > Writing a modified version of the > javaschttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igDGkpTHuhkript of a website and > sharing it with your friends? Maybe but difficult and mostly unneccesary. It is very necessary. People modify JavaScript all the time to improve user's lives. Look at Reddit Enhancement Suite. > Writing a modified version of the javascript code of a website and realising > a modified version? > In most cases, that makes no sense since the website might change any day, > making your code useless.

Basically, people need to start working on extensions to operate websites with the extension's JavaScript and not the site's JS, and LibreJS can be used in emergencies when an extension hasn't been found. The system's package manager (Guix) can manage extensions in the back end. The LibreJS standard, as I mentioned before, is mostly important to HUMANS: so regular people can look at the copyright info and go "oh, ok, looks good.

Switching to WebExtensions is important. It standardizes the format for browser extensions so that you can write an extension once and it will generally work in any browser that supports browser extensions. You don't want Mozilla to keep changing the extension format, do you? WebExtensions is the last time we'll ever have to change it, because it's a standard supported by Chrome, Edge and Safari.

Re: [Trisquel-users] trisquel 8
I have decided to stay on Trisquel 7 for the following reasons. * easy for non-technical users * good community * FSF uses it * My email provider, more reliable than my laptop, uses T6 * doesn't use a different, misleading definition of "free" * doesn't talk about how you can add nonfree software About other distros -- Parabola * requires unnecessary work from non-technical users * worse community: no forum, and some developers left to make Hyperbola * 64-bit only (I have an X60) * sometimes a free package will be removed because they're too lazy to make a free version of its plugin repository, and your-freedom won't let me add it back * they remove free software for other tiny reasons that could just be corrected instead of removing the whole frickin package Debian * they include Chromium-derived code, which is spyware, and might not be fully free (Chromium-derived code is being used in LOTS of programs, BTW, so it's hard to avoid) * they neuter Emacs because of the stupid FDL disagreement * they always talk about how to install nonfree software * their Firefox browser is loaded with ads, asks you about installing DRM, and has Pocket, a free interface that runs a nonfree JavaScript program inside itself, and a service I just don't want * the community sucks, because they are always eager to suggest Skype to you or help you install it, and I don't want to put new users in that position * it uses a different definition of 'free', so I can't always trust them to be compliant with what GNU considers free gNewSense * small/no community GuixSD * no GUI installer * disk encryption is harder than on Parabola * Missing packages: I can't reproduce my workflow on it yet Gentoo * community not focused on free software * nonfree software can sometimes slip through the license screening * compiling stuff stresses my old hardware * Chromium code * Ad-ridden Firefox Fedora * nonfree kernel * Chromium code * community not focused on free software * their Firefox probably has Pocket and other junk -- Caleb Herbert OpenPGP public key: http://bluehome.net/csh/pubkey signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Never had a problem with "your-freedom" either. Can you give > some examples? RetroArch is available. Some emulators, in the form of addons, are proprietary, and some are free software. When I tried to install one of the emulators that were free software according to Debian, it gave an error. I later looked in the Parabola PKGBUILD for RetroArch. I saw that they completely removed any connection to the addon repository on RetroArch's website, and they provided no free replacement. They just neutered the software completely. I could not run free ROMs in the emulator, and I could not experimenting with writing my own free ROMs either. If the addon repo for a program is not good, you should provide a free replacement. You shouldn't just rip it out. I don't remember if there were other programs they did this with, but to see what they did in the package build soured me. They prevented me from accessing a free program. > * I don't follow things closely, but it does not seem to me that Parabola > devs are lazy at all. Quite the contrary.

People need to be using Trisquel to be able to truly help new users. They can't just be using Debian all the time and assuming it's the same. It's not, and new users will learn this, and they'll go to Debian if they find out that nobody's using Trisquel and everyone's actually using Debian. "Can you help me with this?" "I don't know. I moved to Debian. Works here." *goes to Debian* "Welcome to the documentation for Foo. If Foo isn't working, you can install the proprietary software Bar for it at debian.org by adding the nonfree repo and installing bar-nonfree." Using Debian sets a bad precedent for the community, leading people to install nonfree software. This is why dogfooding, or actually using the distro that's most recommendable to people, is important. > I am surprised by your continued denigrating remarks toward the work or > perceived shortcomings of others.

I'm sorry. To be honest, I just don't remember too well what happened. All I remember is that something bad happened. I don't keep good records of my changes in opinion, and don't know how, so understanding and stabilizing my thoughts is difficult for me. Tracking and merging all these changes in opinion and perception, and making sure they work, is not practical. When a process of evaluating something ends, I don't remember the details of it because that information is too much to remember and hard to recall on demand with complete accuracy. To avoid all this overhead, everything is shortened to "good, accept", "bad, reject", "not sure, reject in practice", or "not sure, accept in practice".

Re: [Trisquel-users] net neutraility is being threatened yet again...
Yes, it's a shame, although I'm a little confused about the issue now. In the 90s, the FCC was trying to censor the Internet. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/censoring-emacs.html Today, the phone and cable companies are inspecting our packets and discriminating them. https://www.t-mobile.com/offer/binge-on-streaming-video-list.html Today, we want the phone and cable companies to stop inspecting our packets. In the 2020s, will the FCC try to censor the Internet again? Right now, the Left is correct when it denounces corporate power over the Internet. Later, the Right may be correct when it denounces state power over the Internet. I fear both corporate and state power, and see no solution to this. http://bluehome.net/csh/files/nnsavior signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

freedomporn.org has free porn in free formats using free JS and free server software.

Free software requires free manuals. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. If you think the software that prepares GNU manuals for publication is too inhumane, then I encourage you to write a more humane replacement.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Guix on Trisquel
I no longer struggle with making Qt or Adwaita look good on Trisquel. I see less of the Trisquel interface since I've started using i3 again, so it's not a problem anymore. Adwaita and my custom MetroMumble Solarized Dark theme cover up all the "Windows 98" spots.

Review of Minifree: The laptop came in good condition, and replacement parts have always been provided with technical support on installation. Sometimes, I'd get a bigger hard drive than ordered, which was a bonus. I could never get my firmware of choice flashed, though. I had to type in QWERTY in GRUB, which confused me.

OK. For once, I'm going to make an SJW rant rather than protest one.

Normally I don't buy into "they did this because they're $IDENTITY", but this particular phrase looks oddly similar to something I heard when some of my family members get mad at a black person on the highway: "that ** cut me off!" It's OK to be mad at somebody, but it's NOT okay to bring their identity into it. Being black has nothing to do with cutting people off on the highway. It should not be mentioned when you insult the jerk who cut you off.

Tiberiu is doing the bullying, but this is not gender-related. Please avoid saying that people always do things to a victim because of their identity. Someone stole my quarter the other day when I dropped it on the floor. They must be one of those people who first spend all their time figuring out who's gay and who's not before they pick up someone's lost coins. A lot of those people exist, you know.
