Re: [Trisquel-users] a forum or subforum dedicated only to code contributors.
I don't see the need for a forum. There is a mailing list intended for development discussion/updates: https://listas.trisquel.info/mailman/listinfo/trisquel-devel Although my faith is lost, there a gitlab instance where anyone can register and send pull requests. Getting them merged is another story. https://devel.trisquel.info/ I don't think the communications methods are a problem, but the lack of communication from Ruben is.
[Trisquel-users] Fosdem 2017
Hi This weekend is the https://fosdem.org/2017/ . I booked my travel half an hour ago (that's what you call a improvised trip ;) , so this is a shout out if someone else will be attending, so we can meet there and take some drinks. Happy hacking! /santi

[Trisquel-users] MAME is now Free and Open Source Software
From http://mamedev.org/?p=422 After 19 years, MAME is now available under an OSI-compliant and FSF-approved license! Many thanks to all of the contributors who helped this to go as smoothly as possible! We have spent the last 10 months trying to contact all people that contributed to MAME as developers and external contributors and get information about desired license. We had limited choice to 3 that people already had dual-license MAME code with. As a result, a great majority of files (over 90% including core files) are available under the 3-Clause BSD License but project as a whole is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later (GPL-2.0+), since it contains code made available under multiple GPL-compatible licenses.
Re: [Trisquel-users] MAME is now Free and Open Source Software
Uhps

Let's celebrate!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Images use http
I'm doing some changes to the current trisquel web infraestructure, so those changes could be caused by me. My intention is disable all http content, and redirect all http requests to https, but seems like not all requests are following my rules :/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8, codenamed Flidas.
I didn't see the point in announcing the start of the development stage, because at first, I only wanted to mirror the ubuntu Xenial repositories in order to deploy the build envionment needed for trisquel 8. I found later than, in order for the purge scripts to work as expected, the new branch for flidas had to be created, so I created it to be able finish the task without thinking it much. The lack of communication was my fault, and as a way of ammending the issue, I just sent a mail to trisquel-devel mailing list. Better late than never :( About the front page, it is usually managed by Ruben, and... I don't want to step over anyone toes.
[Trisquel-users] Disabled automatic users registration
Due to the recent spam problems, we have decide to change the default settings for new acconts, so now they need to be approved by an admin (Ruben, David, or me ) This is the new message that users while get after registration: Thank you for registering at Trisquel GNU/Linux. Your application for an account is currently pending approval due to a recent spam problem. Once it has been approved, you will receive a message containing information about how to log in, set your password, and other details. The manual process can take up to 72 hours, but if you are not a spammer, please send an e-mail to i...@trisquel.info from the email you used for registering, with subject "ACTIVATE ACCOUNT". -- Trisquel GNU/Linux team We can rethink the problem in a few days, and maybe the polish spammer gets tired of triying.
[Trisquel-users] Spam attack
Hi Tonight we had an spam attack that filled our forums with thousands of topics in korean. As result of the cleaning, some legitimate post might be unpublished. If that happens, please tell me in this thread and I will re-enable them. Sorry for the disturbance /santi
[Trisquel-users] Problems with access to trisquel site
Hi We are aware than some users are being blocked of the trisquel site, due to a change to catch spammers. We are investigating it, and in the meanwhile, you can send a mail to i...@trisquel.info with your username, or join the #trisquel irc channel and ask for unblock.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A pleasant, but confusing surprise
The helper that brings electrum to trisquel, get it from debian testing, check it here: https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/blob/belenos/helpers/make-electrum#L21 So, when a new version is avaliable there, it's built and imported into Trisquel. There are other helpers that bring packages from external repos, and all have the same behaviour.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
The problem was due to the gcc version used to build firefox.An updated package is avaliable for testing here: http://jenkins.trisquel.info/jenkins-repos/belenos/abrowser_39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1+7.0trisquel39_i386.deb You can download and install it with: wget http://jenkins.trisquel.info/jenkins-repos/belenos/abrowser_39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1+7.0trisquel39_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i abrowser_39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1+7.0trisquel39_i386.deb
Re: [Trisquel-users] Thoughts on Trisquel 7.1 based off of Ubuntu 14.04.3 with release in July or August
Good idea, this will also help to adapt the iso building script to the new package-helpers system
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Yeah. IceCoñazo should ask you to allow or deny *each* HTTP request, GET or POST.
Re: [Trisquel-users] tor-browser not playing videos
From Tor FAQ : Why can't I view videos on YouTube and other Flash-based sites? YouTube and similar sites require third party browser plugins such as Flash. Plugins operate independently from Firefox and can perform activity on your computer that ruins your anonymity. This includes but is not limited to: completely disregarding proxy settings, querying your local IP address, and storing their own cookies. It is possible to use a LiveCD solution such as or The Amnesic Incognito Live System that creates a secure, transparent proxy to protect you from proxy bypass, however issues with local IP address discovery and Flash cookies still remain.

For gmail, you can try gmvault .
Re: [Trisquel-users] Playing VP9 Opus In Trisquel 7
You should add this upstream, instead of in your repo. Try following the new and shiny contributing guidelines , and don't worry to ask if you need help.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
Some puntualizations: * I wasn't able to find the failed script quidam said, It isn't with the other updated packages: http://jenkins.trisquel.info:8085/job/signed-dsc/buildTimeTrend * There is only a new commit in the git repo for icecat here http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git,and it's not related with icecat 31.7. As the change is also interesting for abrowser, instead of waiting for quidam to add the same change to abrowser, I did it and he only needs to approve the change here: https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/merge_requests/108/diffs#note_715 * The repo trisquel takes icecat from is broken now (http://devel.trisquel.info/icecat/repo ) So, imho, this problem is more related with Ruben himself, than with trisquel, as he is the upstream of the package, and for this version there is only a huge tarball, no code changes in git, and no debian packages, so it's not an easy work for an external icecat contributor. Ruben, do you mind scheduling one or two hours each week, to hang on irc and talk about the trisquel project? There are people willing to help, but sometimes, we need to check with you about trisquel related tasks, and you aren't usually very communicative in the forums or the devel mailing list, and that's having an effect on the project.
Re: [Trisquel-users] MonoDevelop fails to start

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can someone create a vagrant box or a docker base image with trisquel ?
You can create your own trisquel docker images using the following scripts: https://github.com/scollazo/docker-brew-trisquel-debootstrap Adapted from the ones for official ubuntu images.
[Trisquel-users] ARM board without blobs
Hi Yesteday I found the [https://www.96boards.org/products/hikey/ hikey board]. I didn't dig much, but seems that the graphic driver is [http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/drivers/open-source-mali-gpus-linux-kernel-device-drivers/ avaliable under the gpl]. They also [https://github.com/96boards/linux published] the kernel source tree used, but I didn't check it for blobs. After reading the [https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/HiKeyGettingStarted getting started guide], this board seems like a very promising (if not already fully-fsf-compliant) device. /santi

[Trisquel-users] Bits from the sysadmin
(cross-post from trisquel-devel mailing list) Hi A lot of things happened since my last mail, so here is an update: - Our gitlab instance is now published, and working. The registration is open to anyone[1], instead of a per-user basis as I said in my first mail. We got some user contributions, congrats to leny2010[2] and akfoss[3] for their first patches merged into trisquel! - Due to the new visibility of package update issues, all live versions (taranis, toutatis and belenos) are now up to date There are some packages for toutatis that were left out at publishing time, but they will be back soon - There was some controversy in the user forums about the ability to have personal repos[4]. User contributed repos are ready, but we can't enable them for all users, as we need first to establish some kind of trusted bond before allowing anyone to run commands on trisquel servers. If you are active in the forum, create a development account and ask at #trisquel-dev irc channel for the details. - All the scripts neeeded to create a clean ubuntu repo, are published in git[5] and its execution in trisquel logged to jenkins jobs [6] More bits, next week. And as always, don't hesitate to say your toughs on list, or off-list if you prefer. Happy hacking /aklis [1] https://devel.trisquel.info/users/sign_up [2] https://devel.trisquel.info/u/leny2010 [3] https://devel.trisquel.info/u/akfoss [4] http://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-should-have-git-system-community-hear-me-out http://trisquel.info/en/forum/when-community-repo-going-live-would-see-some-packages-added [5] https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/ubuntu-purge [6] http://jenkins.trisquel.info:8085/view/Repos/job/ubuntu-repo-sync/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Lagging graphics after upgrading to Trisquel 7
Hi I created an [https://devel.trisquel.info/aklis/package-helpers/blob/backport-xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/helpers/make-xserver-xorg-video-nouveau user backport] with the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau from ubuntu utopic, version 1:1.0.11 You can add this line to sources.list: deb http://devel.trisquel.info/jenkins-repos/aklis/backport-xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ./ to install my backported package. The repository is NOT signed, so you should be asked about installing unsigned packages. Just answer yes . You should only install packages from sources you trust. Also, I don't have any nvidia card, so the package is untested.
Re: [Trisquel-users] When is the community repo going live? Would like to see some packages added.
Yes, you can create an account on https://devel.trisquel.info , create a helper, and send a merge request to the trisquel main branch. You can use the [https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/blob/belenos/helpers/make-youtube-dl make-youtube-dl] as example. Also, feel free to join #trisquel-dev on freenode, and ask there any questions you got.
