Hey Dave.
I know you are very interested in accessibility on Trisquel. Do you have any
information on this bug specifically? If you do could you post it on the
issue tracker with a link to the upstream debian bug. That way we can track
its progress.
Thanks!
Free software development with the GPL is nice, but Apache 2.0 has been the
hot guy on the block for a while now.
Apache 2.0 is free software compatible, compatible with the GPLv3, and allows
linking to more libraries than GPL. It also allows changes to be published in
a different licence a
Hi,
I think synaptic will work if you turn off all the accessibility for
gnome. You should be able to do this under 'universal access' in the
gnome contril center.
I miss synaptic, and hope Debian can fix,
Dave

Did you check the CD after you burned it? Flash media can also silently fail.
You should probably check to see if it is corrupted.
I just upgraded to 5.5.
I do like 5.0 but it's fine too and the updated packages will be very
nice. I appreciate all the work.
I am having a little trouble though. In particular synaptic crashes.

I'm not sure how you got that from what I said. It certainly isn't what I
intended.
I said Stallman isn't the best person to ask. That is why the answer wasn't
really answered. Actually it might not be why he didn't answer it. The person
asking is missing the point... Stallman isn't the one
Right- although to be clear that isn't what I was referring. alien is useful
for users to convert packages in a quick and dirty manor.
Correct. I was thinking I should have written that out. I forget people who
haven't and aren't working on these things don't know these abbreviations.
The majority of large games consist mostly of graphics, sounds, and other
data.
You wouldn't need multiple DVD's just because the program portion is packaged
in a .deb file or a .rpm file.
I think he means LSB as in Linux Standard Base.

I don't agree with you. The way you put it is more or less like this:
"Stallman claims you mustn't write proprietary software, but nobody really
knows how to make it work in practice".
Free software development isn't really a niche. RMS claims that the most of
the software that is developed
Blender is an example of a free software that is distributed as a single
binary (for a given architecture) which works on most GNU distributions, and
is very easy to install. I think most people who frequently use Blender
install it via the binaries from the Blender's web site. That's becaus
alien is included in almost all GNU/Linux distributions (including Trisquel)
and aims at conversions between the different package formats. Of course it
does not always work and is never to be used with system packages (but games
are not among them).
LSB as in least significant bit? Sure you can install debian packages on
Ubuntu and Red Hat packages on Fedora, but there are still some limits to
this and you can't install Red Hat packages on Ubuntu and vice versa. If your
game would be big enough to need a DVD, it would mean using two DVDs
In reference to your question about making money. Stallman's concern is not
money. His concern is freedom. He is not against profiting from free software
although isn't the best person to answer that particular question. You need
to ask the people who are making a living from free software or
For better or worse 1280x768 is the most common screen resolution in use
today. At this resolution for a 15.6" screen it seems OK.
It probably should be increased or better yet- dependent on the screen
size/resolution. Maybe a little script could set it.
You have to stop thinking of it as your software. Let the competition improve
it, advertise it, and so on. If they do that it increases your potential
market. It might get forked although that is probably a bad business move on
their part. I've seen it done enough time to realise it is not an
There is the LSB and the fact most distributions are based off one of the
bigger distributions. Since the cores remain the same there is usually no
reason you can't install from the distribution from which your distribution
is derived.
For instance Trisquel and Linux Mint users can install
Are you sure the GPL can not be enforced in the BRIC countries? I do not
understand why.
How can I change the gnome shell theme in 5.5? There's no shell option in

The problem I see with Stallman is that while he wants users to use free
distros he doesn't offers methods for developers of software that primarily
targets desktop users to make money (without relying on donations).
