We can not and must not believe anything this dude Todd says. He's obviously  
a deluded, unethical opportunist. His claims have absolutely no value at all.  
He has earned some money with the Librem 15. But that's it. The fiesta  
hopefully and very probably ends here for Todd. The librem 13 funding ends in  
a few days and he hasn't collected but 1/3 of the money. The reason is, I  
think and hope, finally people have seen it clearly beyond his nonsense and  
bs delusions.
As I already said, the true problem with people and projects like this Todd  
dude and the Purism is that all this money could have been employed to  
advance (financially and consequently de facto technically) true libre  
projects like the libreboot community and gluglug.

Re: [Trisquel-users] good free program for translating languages?

There are no programs that can translate any language *properly*. Languages  
are very complex systems. Especially, resolving the ambiguities in the text  
is something a machine promptly fails to do. Machines can't translate idioms,  
which are an essential and very frequent part of every human language. If you  
want something that translates text but it translates it a la google  
translate, that is, terribly inaccurately, I'm sure there are programs that  
can do it, but if you want a decent translation you have two options: paying  
someone for the translation or learning the language.

Re: [Trisquel-users] italian reading who can translate a court decision?

2015-07-24 Thread greatgnu

Year 2005.
Marco Pieraccioli demands the money of the unused winowns license returned to  
him. HP disagrees saying that the software and the hardware are inextricably  
joined together on the computer they sold to Pieraccioli.


Pieraccioli did not accept the terms of the EULA. He did not click on the  
accept thing and did not use the microshit software in any way.


The judge reckons that hardware and software are two different and separable  
things. The legal contract is between the customer (Pieraccioli) and the  
computer producer (HP) and for this reason the judge reckons there is  
absolutely no legal obligation between Pieraccioli and Micrositz.


Buying a hardware does not imply that the customer is forced into accepting  
the OS preinstalled on it.



I see those articles are cited -
art.101 Tratt. FUE, già art.81
Tratt.Ist.CE; art. 2 1. 287/90)

european comission - the customer who buys a computer with the preinstalled  
os and does not accept the license terms during the first boot of the  
computer has the legal right to keep the computer and return the software  
getting the money of the software back.



And yes, all those boring stupid and uselessly long text is saying just this,  
but you know the drill of the law - they make it complex and long because  
that way they make sure the average Joe will not read it and if he does read

Adfeno: Hi mate!
I will repeat myself for the 600th time: he who wants to install a  
proprietary piece of software WILL install it no matter which distro he uses.  
Some distro make it more difficult to do so, but that is another matter and  
not even an important one.
All this work creating a special repo for addons it's good but it is nowhere  
essential. The one who absolutely and intimately decides not to install a  
proprietary whatever software will check 3 times the license of every and  
each package he downloads/installs outside of the libre repository.

I can guarantee you that.
The one who hasn't made that "absolute and intimate, strongly convinced  
decision" will install whatever proprietary crap on Trisquel as on Parabola  
as on Debian etc etc.
I see it this way: you can not force people into freedom. I'm not saying that  
implying that it is unethical (forcing people into anything could be viewed  
as unethical).
But I am not saying that. I'm just saying that it doesn't work. Sadly you can  
force people into slavery and dependence but you can not force them into  
freedom. It just doesn't work that way. It never did. It never will.
One does not become free because he installed gnewsense or Ututo. One becomes  
free when he unconditionally decides he will never ever and for no reason  
install/use/share proprietary software.

Well, just because it is you quantumG and because I want a part in your next  
Bollywood movie..


Themes go in /usr/share/themes
Icon themes in /usr/share/icons

gtk theme is Greybird -> https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird

Make sure to install murrine-themes and qt4-qtconfig (this may or may not be  
needed - On Debian 8 it is needed) and in qt 4 Settings set the GUI style to  
GTK+


The Greybird theme is awesome. The only thing I changed is the highlight  
color. I changed it from the overly-light-blue to a nice light-grey. #808080

That you can do with gtk-theme-config.

The window theme is also Greybird (don't forget to go in Settings - Window  
Manager and select Greybird.


Icon theme is Numix-Circle but a heavily modified one (merged with other two  
themes). You just use the default one. It's nice enough.

https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme-circle

Now the transparent panel. Delete the default top and bottom panels. Create  
new panel and make it like this:

separator,whiskermenu,separator,orage,separator,notification area,separator.
Set all the separators to be transparent and expand second and third  
separators. Lock the panel.
In orage uncheck "show frame" and place in line 1 "%a %b %d  %R %p" and make  
it Bold characters.

In notification are uncheck "show frame".
Now you have full transparency when you go to Panel prefernces - Appearence -  
set Alpha to 0 (zero)


Now whiskermenu.
Display: Title
Title: Applications   (to make it bold characters)
In Menu check: "show app description" and "position search entry next.." and  
"position categories next.."

Item icon size - normal
Category icon size -none

Place the .gtkrc-2.0 file (attachment) in /home and restart session (just  
changing theme and then back should do it too). Note that that whisker theme  
I set it like that becuse I like it like that. You can change the colors to  
your liking. It's easy to do so.


Conky is in attachment too.

had some audio issues (which I then solved by completely purging pulse  
audio). I needed a decent audio control applet and I installed and made  
automatically executable on boot the plugin "volti" and it worked.


I have little experience with cinnamon (Mint cinnamon was my first distro  
when I switched to GNU) but being that I used it a long time ago I don't  
remember well the panel settings etc..
Maybe try asking in their IRC or forum or whatever they have.

If you backed up your data (if you didn't, use a live distro and do a backup)  
do a fresh installation of Trisquel 7.

That is the advice I can give you.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Vulnerability in the linux kernel... when 7.0.1?

2015-11-11 Thread greatgnu

Ciao BSOD!
Indeed the kernel for Buguntu 14.04 LTS and all the derivatives using that  
kernel (like Triquel 7) must upgrade to linux-image-3.13.0-68 (3.13.0-68.111)


uname -a will give you the output of what kernel is currently running on your  
OS. I guess the developers already pushed the updated kernel. If not, I would  
suggest you install the latest jxself's libre kernel 4.3





Re: [Trisquel-users] How to translate for Trisquel

I see what you mean now. I had no idea the language support was incomplete.  
That is because ever since I was a kiddo using Windows 95 I preferred the  
English language for my OS, so I did not use Italian for instance on  
Trisquel..

Maybe try asking Quidam on IRC or aklis.

Hi Heather!
When I installed Debian on the USB stick with GRUB on it I'm pretty sure I  
tried to boot the stick first in BIOS but for some reason that didn't work.  
It's normal old BIOS and the option to boot a live distro works but somehow  
booting that DebianOnStick I did not manage to do.

>I'm not an developer I'm an user and things should be implemented or widely,

right.. You are new with GNUx and you should learn how to do what you want to  
do. Most distros (even Debian which is well known for its minimalism) come  
with several services pre-installed). I tend to lock down my fresh  
installation. I learned how to do that by reading, reading and more reading   
and playing. Hence my suggestion to do the same.


Internet is full of info on Ubuntu. All that info applies to Trisquel as well  
being that Trisquel is nothing else but the LTS version of Ubuntu without  
blobs in the kernel and non-free software in the repository.

I have no idea what can you do to prevent the issue. I can recommend a way to  
shut it down without forcing a cold-reboot/sutdown which is not good for your  
hardware.

ctrl + alt + f1 and enter:
sudo shutdown -h now  (to shut your lappy down)
sudo shutdown -r now

sudo init 0 and sudo init 6 will do the same.
There are also sudo halt and sudo reboot.

cheers
