Re: [Trisquel-users] LibreOffice Alternative
Your approach is incorrect and perverted (no offence). Sending file in _standard_ Open Document format is all right, decent and respectful. It should be even an imperative if you believe in and respect freedom in communication. You are not forcing anyone to anything when you send a file in standard format. Sending a file in non-free format means disrespect to a receiver/reader and to a community you live in. LibreOffice _IS COMPATIBLE_ thanks to support of standard formats. "_using free software allows users to only publish to other free software users_" It is not true. Anybody is able to publish in ODF and read it because it is standard. Standard requires publically available full format specification. Free Software is not an alternative, it is in fact the only right way to do computing. The reasons are obvious to anybody with understanding and common sense. "_Libreoffice must be compatible with non-free Word so as to not push me, the user, to use Word instead._" You are wrong. The problem is artificially and knowingly created in non-free software. Nothing is obstructing Microsoft to implement ODF support into 'Word' except their bad and harmful intentions. From the other side Microsoft has been intentionally preventing others to implement their proprietary, non-standard formats. They do not publish full specification of their formats and some parts are even covered by patents. Which means LibreOffice is in every possible way not allowed to be compatible with proprietary formats!

I would love to, but he's my uncle and I can't really be that way with him. I'm not a professor or anything I don't have that clout. An MIT-Professor and Father of Free Software Stallman can by all means enforce free software wherever he goes because he has a level of respect. I can't be forcing people to use libre software, I'll tell them politely and explain the benefits and leave it at that. I think that Free Software should be able to coexist as an alternative, but if using free software allows users to only publish to other free software users then what is the point? Libreoffice must be compatible with non-free Word so as to not push me, the user, to use Word instead. Not trying to go off-topic so I apologize, but I do not have the means to make anyone else go libre other than myself.

With a VPN, you have a single point of failure. Your IP address and web traffic are both visible to the VPN, which is enough to identify you even if you avoid payment records by paying Mullvad with cash, and like with all VPNs we have only their word that they don't keep logs. With Tor, only the entry node sees your IP address and only the exit node sees your traffic, so an attacker would need to attack both nodes at once in order to identify you. To use Tor without VPN is naive and dangerous. Everybody should read this first: https://restoreprivacy.com/tor/

I'm able to bring back the Date into indicator-datetime Trisquel 7.0 using dconf-editor. Set your own preference at com canonical indicator datetime.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Migration from Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) to Trisquel 6.0 (Toutatis)
@huanglao:I suggest you to install Trisquel 6.0 from USB device in your Xubnutu box 13.10 and by default it won't erase any of your Xubnutu stuff. Here's more similar steps for your case from my experience: === 1) When it asks about which partition to install , make it install along with Xubuntu. 2) Resize the partition of either your Xubnutu /home or / for Trisquel 6.0 3) Trisquel 6.0 won't delete/overwrite Xubuntu's files. But it's always better to take important files. I did for mine ~500GB! 4) Once installation done , you can loaded with Dual boot (Trisquel 6.0 / Xubuntu 13.10) 5) You can go into Trisquel 6.0 and copy/access all your stuff inside mounted Xubuntu partition 6) Anytime , you can go to your Xubuntu 13.10 from boot-loader.(You can keep this for your historical reference and/or alternate choice) 7) Once you satisfied with the Trisquel 6.0 setup and files, you can go-ahead remove the Xubuntu's partition. Refer the attached screen-shot for how I able to access my Ubuntu 13.10 files from Trisquel 6.0 . Attachment #1 : Showing my Ubuntu's 89GB of /home and 21GB of / . Attachment #2 : Showing my Disk utility report. Once again , it's always better to take important files.Good luck. !!! Freedom matters !!! Thanks, Kesavan Muthuvel kesavan.info

Re: [Trisquel-users] Migration from Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) to Trisquel 6.0 (Toutatis)
GNU is all about freedom ; Over time, calling the system “GNU/Linux” spreads awareness of the ideals of freedom for which we developed the GNU system Linux is something related to commercial and/ore inviting non-free software salesman to-do business with.It must to be understand LINUX DO NOTHING WITHOUT GNU. See the notes from Linus himself: Sadly, a kernel by itself gets you nowhere. To get a working system you need a shell, compilers, a library etc. These are separate parts and may be under a stricter (or even looser) copyright. Most of the tools used with linux are GNU software and are under the GNU copyleft. These tools aren't in the distribution - ask me (or GNU) for more info. Without any programs to run, though, the kernel cannot do anything. Notes for linux release 0.01 - Linus Torvalds Better call it as GNU/Linux as GNU must reach everyone and Kernel next.When GNU done with #HURD , we can all go ahead with GNU system and no more Linux! I don't want to call it as GNU/Hurd (once done) but simply GNU System !!! Freedom matters !!! Thanks, Kesavan Muthuvel kesavan.info
[Trisquel-users] Migration from Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) to Trisquel 6.0 (Toutatis)
I'm going to migrate from Ubuntu 13.10(Saucy) to Trisquel 6.0(Toutatis) without reinstalling using instructions at http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/migrate-ubuntu-trisquel-without-reinstalling It is mentioned that never attempt to run that script from a Ubuntu edition with no Trisquel counterpart! So let me anyone confirm that Trisquel 6.0(Toutatis) is counterpart to Ubuntu 13.10(Saucy). Did anyone tried this from Ubuntu 13.10 to Trisquel 6.0 ? Thanks, Kesavan Muthuvel
Re: [Trisquel-users] Migration from Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) to Trisquel 6.0 (Toutatis)
Thanks for your replies. I've almost 400GB of data in /dev/sda6 mounted in /media/DATA some 100GB of personal data(like .thunderbird/* , other Docs,Downloads and other misc). Is that possible to have a clean install replacing Ubuntu 13.10 without affecting my above data? Or the clean installation overwrites/wipes all my data? !!! Freedom matters !!!
