[Trisquel-users] Antwort: 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
The browser is one of the most important components of an OS these days (if not the most important one). There are also no real Libre alternatives available for Trisquel. I am writing this from QupZilla right now but you can't compare it with a full IceCat/Abrowser. So without a browser, a LibreOS is not much worth to me and I am thinking about switching to a more stable base like Debian GNU/Linux. With only the main repo active this should fulfill my needs for Libre Software as well and even if it's not officially listed on the Free Distributions list, RMS recently mentioned that it can be seen as Libre when only the main repo is used.

I experience the same issue. Never had any oom problems before. Disabled reader view but it still segfaults. No downgrade possible as mentioned by alucardx.

If you are using PayPal you can remove the scheduled Payment from there. Thanks for your contribution, anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Wallpapers
As you might have seen in the latest builds, the artwort for trisquel 7 has already been updated and looks great imho. Of course it would be nice to have some additional wallpapers available.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which is better as per privacy and security?
They are both totally different approaches which you cannot really compare. I would also distinguish between privacy and anonymity.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which is better as per privacy and security?
Real anonymity is not possible with Tor only. You have to combine a set of solutions, like mac randomization, anoymous internet access from public wireless, vpn and Tor. Even by using this techniques you might still get identified by service provides like google, which e.g. analyse your typing style.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I might install Mint 17 in Vbox if I can't print.
I might install Mint 17 in Vbox if I can't print. - is this a threat? Of course you can do whatever you want to, but by using trisquel, you agreed to know that hardware issued might occur because of the lack of free drivers available. If you cannot live with that, you propably don't want to use it. Back to your question: lsusb might help. You should also provide some more details, like printer model etc.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Seven!!!
Could one please point out what that triskel thing is about? Is it a version based on KDE?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Interested in volunteering? Read this... update
Great to see that things are getting sorted out. One thing we should discuss in one of the next meetings is the future of the Desktop Environment. gnome-panel has become unmaintained, and we need to decide whether to maintain in on our own, or to switch to something different. At least we got a good alternative that already exists in form of trisquel mini.
[Trisquel-users] Open Distribution, Closed Development
Hi all, I really welcome the ideas behind trisquel, but I cannot see that these are adopted to the development process. In 5.5 release cycle, I have created several Bug Reports. Afair, none of them has even been assigned, nor solved. Now I wanted to create a Bugreport for the development of version 6.0 mini, and noticed that the latest version listed in the Bug Tracker is 4.0. I have also monitored the list for a while now, and see less till no developer interaction. A free and open project should work and communicate in the same matter. If there is a good reason for that it's so intransparent and secret, please communicate it, so we can work on a solution, together. If it's just a lack of time, the main developer has, maybe we could support him with our help. Greets Marcu
Re: [Trisquel-users] Open Distribution, Closed Development
It seems to be possible to create bug reports against 6.0 mini now, and by checking the latest build, I have noticed that the bug I have reported is also somewhat fixed, but I never got any feedback from a developer. From what I have read in other posts, Ruben, the main developer is not even reading this list on a regular basis. I thing the proposal is a very good starting point. trisquel needs a clear structure. Right now it seems to be some kind of 'one-man-show'. It would be great if we could set up something like a 'Get started to volunteer' page, which should point out the different areas of the distribution where help is needed.
