Re: [Trisquel-users] VMware to Virtualbox - Help !

2013-06-02 Thread john . wilkins21
I run Trisquel alongside Debian (duel boot) I want to do away with Debian as  
an operating system and just use Trisquel.
 In order to do this I need to change to Virtualbox. At present I use Vmware  
to run Windows 7 ( Before people rise up and condem me for using Windows a  
brief explaintion - for the past 20 years or more my hobby has been yacht  
designing and I have two cad programs to do this )


Now to the problems with the changeover.
I copied all the files/folders in the vmware folder/windows folder ie the  
vmdk files into the virtualbox vms folder and followed these instructions  
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=52705&p=241380#p241380


This worked and I can run windows 7 in Virtualbox BUT NOT my latest version.
In other words it runs the original version and not the latest auto protect  
version (if that makes sense!)




[Trisquel-users] VMware to Virtualbox - Help !

2013-06-01 Thread john . wilkins21
I'm desperatly trying to do away with VMware so that instead of dual booting  
I can just use Trisquel.

I have found how to do it BUT not in total.
Problem - In vmware if I go into Snapshot manager it shows Windows 7 then a  
circle saying 'you are here'
Now copying all the files/folders to Virtualbox Windows, runs OK but  
Virtualbox does NOT run the latest version of Windows.ie it is missing a  
couple of programs that I recently installed.

Anybody know how I can resolve this problem please.

 In My opinion that sounds like the Government of the UK,witness the recent

I find this whole post interesting, jxself asks everybody to follow the

gentle and persistent in our efforts for a fair treatment of software users"
I said in another post that one mans freedom is another mans prison - As far  
as Im aware aware there is only one developer for Trisquel so someone like me  
with no programming ability is in fact a 'prisioner'of the developer (in the  
kindest way possible) It seems to me that many problems with Trisquel will  
persist untill there are more than one 'official' developers.

The .iso was built using the net installer.
There has been a lot of talk in different post about desktops and it is  
obvious that there a quite a lot of people who would like an alternative.
I believe that the developer should concentrate on one or two distributions  
but that alternative desktops could be offered by members of the community  
for others to try.
The website was set up with this in mind and in no way is it intended to  
detract from the main distributions.
My XFCE desktop is a personnel interpretation and of course you can set it up  
as you wish.
I would add that if anybody has a desktop they would like added to the  
website I will be happy to add it.

I will be adding more as I get around to building them.

One thought on this 'printer' saga , one man's freedom is another man's  
non-freedom. Whilst I support Trisquel's aims (I donate by direct debit every

[Trisquel-users] Problem installing printer

2013-01-30 Thread john . wilkins21
I've had to buy a new printer and settled on an HP Deskjet 2510 All-IN-ONE as  
it claimed to be Linux supported.
When I open System-   Printing I get the message "there are no printers  
configured yet"
I've done a search and the only reference I can find refers to Dagda's HPLIP  
repository.

Can anybody help please (I'm running 5.5 Brigantia)

That command simply launched synaptic. Perhaps I didn't word My original post  
correctly.
Whilst using e 17 desktop synaptic does not appear on any of the menus , as  
far as I can tell at the moment everything else does.

NO Advanced Settings (Mini Iso )


[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 6.0 - problem

2013-01-20 Thread john . wilkins21

OK , downloaded the mini iso and put on usb stick.
I like it and would like to install as main os BUT I have a problem with  
monitor resolutions. It automatically detects My monitor as 1920 x 1080  
(which is correct) due to eyesight problems I need to set it to 1440 x 900.
Using the drop down menu I select 1440x900 and click apply but it remains at  
1920x1080.

Anybody know a workround or answer ?

@ Chris,
The email functionality is  easily sorted, as far as spam is concerned - not  
a problem, using Drupal gives a very secure site.
There are quite a few options , for instance at the moment My site is set up  
as follows:-
it requires an email address to register (got around easily by spammers) BUT  
the site then automatically sends an email to that address for confirmation  
(which of course 'bounces' or is non-deliverable.
