Of course! Hopefully Mozilla follows... ;-)
According to this page, Trisquel welcomes mirrors:
http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/mirroring-trisquel
And use the contact page to get in touch with the developers
http://trisquel.info/contact (I assume that's the fastest and best way to
communicate this)
'http://v.gd/Lnk12d' Is this a step in the right direction?
Hello,
I was wondering if you still accepting mirrors for trisquel.
If you are, I will like to provide one with HTTP, FTP and Rsync access via
a VPS located at Tokyo, Japan.
Thanks for your reply,
Kind regards,

Are you using 1.2.3 or 1.2.4 RC1?
If you run it from a terminal, does it show any relevant messages about the
subject?
The best answer to this question is maybe. Right now there is one chipset
combo (should work in the USA & Europe!!! although only in GNU/Linux) that in
theory we should be able to get working although I haven't been successful in
doing so. I'm not sure if there is a problem with the device, d
Another solution is to simply use the Synaptic package manager. It can
generate a package download script to be executed on any other system (even a
Windows one).
Anyway, my point was the same as yours: "package managers" are not useless
for offline systems. Far from it.
Try AptOnCD. It is in the repository and I think this is what I've used many
times with success. We sell a surprising number of 56K USB dial-up modems.
While not everybody needs the dial-up software many distributions don't
include it any more.
AptOnCD is even easier and have a graphical interface to do it.
The required packages can be downloaded from another computer and be moved to
the /var/cache/apt/archives/ of the other computer, ready to be installed.
It looks difficult but a package makes it easy: apt-offline. It is in
Trisquel's repository and, of course, it is based on APT.
Actually that isn't entirely true. While it has been a while since I've done
it there is a way to create a CD with all the dependencies needed. Most
people just aren't aware of the feature. I've only used it a handful of
times. I believe the last time I used it was to create a CD for customer
The problem is not very many people are stuck without an Internet connection
at all, so most GNU/Linux systems don't worry about accommodating them (to be
clear, Windows doesn't either; that it does is an accident resulting from its
core design). There's still a hassle with Windows: you need
Tried it. Didn't work at all. Wept.
There is a tool called Keryx[1] which downloads packages for offline use.
[1]http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/keryx-0924-offline-installer-for-apt.html
I don't know if it still exists though. It is old.
I am talking about without an Internet connection. If you're stuck without
one like me, it's nigh impossible to install software on GNU/Linux.
I'm trying to use mumble to connect to servers that come up in the server
list and when I do the program seems to hang. I don't know what's going wrong
but the UI becomes unresponsive and then I have to kill the process. Any
ideas on this one?
You misunderstand. Ubuntu-based for me means just access to a ton packages
via apt.
I don't care about desktop environments/software centers/settings panels.
All I need is an Emacs window on one half of the screen and abrowser on the
other half.
But I'm used to a standard in font antialiasing that

It looked like I had to "state the obvious" since you "obviously" had not

Does anyone happen to know of a USB or PC-card-based digital TV antenna that
is compatible with Trisquel, something similar to this?

That's because the Python 3 binary is called "python3", not "python"
(technically, it's called "python3.2" and "python3" is a symbolic link to it,
but that's just details).
Running python in the terminal gets me a Python 2.7 shell.
Mint is spyware free... as long as you don't use Google Chrome, or Adobe
Flash, or Skype, or possibly other nonfree programs.
Of course, note that Mint is not an Ubuntu clone, either. Actually, if it's

My point about removing stuff on Windows is you can't queue anything, so you
need to keep choosing the next thing to remove. You can't spend your time
playing Solitaire in only 10-20 seconds, and if you're removing more than a
couple things, it's an incredible hassle.
With regards to the sh
Thanks a lot for stating the obvious. That doesn't solve my problem with
the fonts though.
I'll try again with different desktops when the official 6.0 comes out.
If it doesn't work, I'll just go with Mint. Hopefully it's spyware free.

That's probably because you're not the owner, which means you need to do it
as root. You can do this by running "gksudo nautilus" (assuming you're using
GNOME) and browsing over to the folder, then change the owner in the
permissions tab to you. Or you could use chown.
I'm not afraid of using a terminal but My ignorance is usualy finding and
using the correct path.
However it is gratifying that such a simple problem should elicit such
generous help from forum members.
That doesn't work, selecting all the pictures and right clicking the
permissions tab is 'greyed' out
May be few hours or seconds :D
