Thanks to BLAG we have linux-libre.
Just wanted to say that registration is open, and that we check if you're a
member based on the email address and name you give us when you register :)

Don't get us wrong. We totally understand wanting your hardware to work.
IMO (no stats to back it up) wireless cards not working is the number one
question we get here from new members.
Unfortunately $100 isn't really going to cut it for reverse engineering it.
As Chris said it is a non-
I wonder what the new owner (Qualcomm) of Atheros's has in store for freedom
drivers for GNU/Linux? I'd rather pay the $100USD and share a driver with
everyone. I'm not here to be a bummer to everyone, I just want access to my
current hardware

If you download something off the web (i.e. not from apt) then it's not
trival to automatically determine the license of it. You could easily do a
scan of their website; if they're free software, they'll have a link to their
license, source code, and usually a list of their dependencies.
Any Atheros Mini PCI, Mini PCIe, PCI, or Mini PCIe card in theory should
work. We have run into some cards that are more problematic though. While we
are donating 25% to Trisquel it isn't really just 25% going to a free
software cause. There are other projects we are working on. Try finding a
It won't be reverse engineered. The task is non-trivial. The way to resolve
these types of issues is to band together and support free software
compatible hardware. With enough people purchasing the same hardware it can

Hello,
My last laptop had Intel wifi too. I purchased myself a D-Link DWA-642
device, which is known to work with free software. According to what I've
read, your laptop has an Express Card slot. A D-Link DWA-643 wifi card

Instead of throwing this Intel wifi card in the landfill, I would be willing
to send a money-order, paid in advance for $100USD, to anyone who could
reverse engineer me a "freedom driver" for this Intel card. ThinkPenguin has
a card listed for $36USD, so I think that would be fair as I am of
If the dependences you are talking about were found in Trisquel's repository
(i.e., you have actually found a .deb on the Internet), then they are free
software.
That would be great to easily know whether an application (or one of its
dependences) found on the Internet is free... but neithe
Let us see whether the kernel properly handles the device. Could you please
execute the following command, enter your password, and then move your PS/2
mouse:
$ sudo cat /dev/input/mice
If that writes funky things, that is good.

I know that tablets have usually inferior performance than a regular notebook
but do you think that this tablet will be able to run Xonotics
http://www.xonotic.org/ better than what my macbook 4,1 does?
My macbook 4,1 has the following characteristics:

Nevermind, it broke again.
Because sometimes i install software from their official site and it ask to
install dependance. I could be just great to know, by a simple command, to
know if what we just installed is 100% free. Would you blame this?
But we can say the truth...
Firstly, please do not advertise non-free software on our forum/mailing list.
User freedom is priority #1 for this distro. It is unfortunate when hardware
won't work without proprietary software. It isn't a compromise we can make
though to include non-free software just to get hardware to w
This worked, thanks a million!
Looks interesting, ta.

It's a good thing there are many free distros. And every single one of them
is doing very important work.
Another tool you could try using is powertop. If it uses power, some (if not
most) of it is converted into heat... :)
The tool even has a website http://linuxpowertop.org/ (works just fine on AMD
as well despite the Intel spam...)
I would try creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf (the old way) with a section like
that:
Section "Input Device"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
driver "mouse"
option "CorePointer"
option "device" "/dev/input/mice"
option "protocol" "ImPS/2"
option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
option "Emulate3buttons" "true"
EndSe
I do not think Mozilla should *block* proprietary plugins. The users should
be free to subjugate herself.
What Mozilla should do is not inviting the user to such a subjugation. That
would basically turning Firefox into Abrowser. ;-)
I did try Trisquel on another computer and there is no problem there. I guess
my motherboard is to blame and a PS2>USB adapter is the best course of
action. It's still strange that only this distro has this problem on my
computer.
In what way is BLAG poorly done? It is lagging behind Fedora releases, yes -
but only because it is a lot of work on few people. You are welcome to join
if you'd like to make it more proper:-)
Also, gNewSense is more or less in sync with debian squeeze if you
debootstrap the latest version
I generally agree with the idea it should be celebrated and it is
user-subjugating.
What Canonical does has little impact in general on what web sites use.
Mozilla has a much bigger impact on what web sites use.
The problem is Adobe has discontinued flash for GNU/Linux firefox. Not for

I'm not sure what your problem is although I've never seen a keyboard not
work ever with any operating system. Unless you mean specific keys. Can you
duplicate these keyboards not working with Trisquel on a different computer?
I wonder if this is a hardware failure issue of some kind.
As far as I understand, Parabola allows to remove "your freedom" (what
Trisquel does not allow) and can be obtained from the vanilla Arch GNU/Linux
(the Trisquel documentation gives a script to freedom-upgrade from Ubuntu
what already includes the removal of non-free software). What would "my
Distros with recent updates:
1. Trisquel
2. Parabola
3. Ututo
4. Dynebolic
In my opinion, lack a free distro based on Fedora and updated, Blag is poorly
done.
Trisquel is the best of all. Beautiful, simple, clean and fast, no
comparison. The other free distros(Blag, Dragora, Musix, Venenux)
That was very frustrating for me too. All my partitions was in ext4. So when
i booted gnewsense i coudn't use my DATA partition. Then it use grub legacy,
wich is a nightmare for me. And then each i boot i could hear 4 bips... ^^
I also believe Trisquel is the #1 !
I'm a Parabola user myself, and your-freedom is a great package, especially
since when it updates, it can detect any software that might have been
non-free in the repositories before and remove it or replace it with it's
libre counterpart.
Maybe Trisquel can have something like that...?
