At the time of writing I did not have the card, I have now ordered it online and should have it sometime soon. I'll post if it works on Trisquel when I get it, just for the sake of it.

[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Next Trisquel LTS

2012-06-28 Thread Igor . Zobin
A friend who uses Ubuntu and is quite proficient with GNU/Linux and a programmer as well, told me Unity was proprietary. So I never looked it up, now I see it's under the GPL. I was absolutely sure that Unity is proprietary.

I think the next lts should have fallback as default, with unity 2d, unity 3d, and shell available. Maybe the installer can be made such that it offers to install these other desktops and set one as default for the installed system and user? -Dave On 06/27/2012 07:38 PM,

[Trisquel-users] Power consumption is more with trisquel 5.5

2012-06-28 Thread niyaschirayakuth
In my hp probook , trisquel 5.0 gives a battery life of 4:30 hours. But when I installed trisquel 5.5 it only gives maximum of 3 hours. How can I reduce battery consumption in 5.5? Also brightness resets into maximum after every reboot. What should I do?

the kernels from 10.10-11.10 have a problem with power consumption, with 10.10 it's hardly noticeable but the problem has increased over a couple new releases. However, Ubuntu 12.04 has a patched kernel that vastly improves power consumption, and I believe the next Trisquel should also

Before removing gnome components, be sure you disable the accessibility. If you don't want the login greeter to use orca, you can change this by hitting 'alt+ctrl+tab' while on the login screen. Turn off the accessibility here, as well as on your desktop, after logging in. You can

If it's a kernel thing you can pick new versions here http://www.fsfla.org/~lxoliva/fsfla/linux-libre/releases/ You can try using the powertop command (from powertop package) to see what's using power. How well it works depends on your hardware. Can you modify the brightness with software?

If the problem was recently fixed in the kernel (and I believe it was), you can choose to install its later versions on Trisquel 5.5 Brigantia. Thanks to this repository, this is very easy.

I just removed 5.5 and installed 5.0. Now problem is solved. I think i should wait for 6.0 LTS. And it would be better if anybody suggest trisquel team to have a software for changing proxy in 6.0 LTS. 5.5 donot include it..

Actually there are other aspects concerning freeness of Android. For example, even if you replace the OS by a free one it isn't enough if the modem can be used to spy on you (e.g. if the modem can turn on the microphone or GPS without the user's approval). Here one can see a comparison of
