Just saw this message today! This is exciting, and I like the weekly updates format.

The desktop looks very nice! Does anyone know if the final desktop is likely to be similar to the screenshot?

This sounds great! I can't wait to flash it on my GuixSD machine! Congrats to the Libreboot team! :-D
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot leaves FSF. Says FSF shouldn't exist anymore.
You aren't the only one thinking about it in this light: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreboot/2016-09/msg00055.html. I wonder how often employers consider this when employing trans people. I hate that things like this can ignite even without anything actually happening. I think that regardless of the truth of her statement, the way she handled it does more harm to the LGBT+ people in free software like us than anything else.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Second monitor with WindowMaker
Can you post the output of xrandr --query when you're in Window Maker with the second monitor attached?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Favourite features of favourite DE
I would have said LXDE a few years ago, but I've come to like Window Maker a bit more. I like the clip, the configuration software, the low RAM and CPU usage, the stability, etc. LXDE is a close second though (as I type this from Trisquel Mini's LXDE)!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wich is your favorite libre game?
I've been fixated on the libre version of the game HyperRogue lately. I also love text adventures and ASCII-based roguelikes.

If a complete newbie to how Debian-based distros work under the hood wanted to contribute to Trisquel's development, where would they start?

Thank you for the resources! :-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Gift Store security warning
I don't have a solution, but I can verify that both of these things happen to me as well. Is the Trisquel store down?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wanna start contributing code? Ask your question here
I want to try to package the open-ath9k-htc-firmware package from Debian for Trisquel 8, but I can't get pbuilder to create a flidas-based build environment because openjdk-7-jre is missing from the apt repos. Is there a way around this requirement, or should I use a belenos-based build environment instead?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wanna start contributing code? Ask your question here
I think I found the issue. The pbuilderrc file in the trisquel-builder source code is configured to build a belenos environment. I had manually changed some of the code to build a flidas environment instead, but openjdk-7-jre was still in the EXTRAPACKAGES variable in my pbuilderrc file.

Packaging as in writing a "make-intltool" package helper? Because it just succeeded with message "Trisquel source package built!".

Re: [Trisquel-users] Community feedback is needed on whether Libreboot should re-join GNU
I feel like the issues that would make this decision questionable have been more than adequately taken care of (decentralized authority, thorough and humble apology, reorientation on project goals, etc.). Also, I see Libreboot as a very useful (and at this point critical) piece of free software that would do well to be a part of GNU. You have an emphatic request to rejoin from me! :-)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Wanna start contributing code? Ask your question here
It turned out that I could add the packages mentioned by "Depends: " by manually adding them to EXTRA_PACKAGES in my pbuilderrc file. I did that until it stopped working, so now I have "Package 'aptitude' is not installed, so not removed Package ca-certificates is not available, but is referred to by another package."
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
Do you have htc_9271.fw in your /lib/firmware folder? If not, see if you can copy it from the live system on the USB drive to the /lib/firmware folder on your ThinkPad.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
*facepalm* Do as jxself says. I don't know how I missed this solution.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GRUB-based full disk encryption tip!
So it doesn't seem that I can find the original author's contact information. However, a quick web search led me to this page. It may be worth investigating the following claim from the link. "As I understand it, when the kernel pivots to the actual root filesystem and thus no longer needs the initramfs that's loaded into RAM, it simply frees that memory without first zeroing it. That means that a process, running as any user, can just malloc ram and reads its uninitialized contents in a loop until it comes upon something that looks like your LUKS keyfile. Eventually, even if it takes multiple boots, it will succeed. This is why it's so important that an official protocol be developed between the kernel and bootloader, because then the kernel knows to treat any memory containing credentials carefully and ensure that it doesn't leak out to somewhere it shouldn't."
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to add a LUKS key file to initrd.img / initramfs (helpful if you don't want to enter your password twice)
This is currently pending inclusion in the Trisquel wiki. The Libreboot manual pertaining to full disk encryption is clean and compatible for entry, I believe. As soon as I can find the author of missinglink.xyz...
Re: [Trisquel-users] GRUB-based full disk encryption tip!
No problem! I found this after reading the Libreboot manual on

This link is very helpful if you need help setting up a key file inside your initramfs so you don't have to put in your password twice. https://web.archive.org/web/20160101193137/http://missinglink.xyz/security/tutorial-debianubuntu-full-disk-encryption-luks-fde-including-encrypted-boot/improved-full-disk-encryption-add-luks-key-file-initrdinitramfs/

The following link is much more clear and less complex than the prior one, for anyone who is looking at this. http://www.pavelkogan.com/2015/01/25/linux-mint-encryption/
