Strange. Try removing any i386 (32-bit) packages. No idea how they ended
there.
I think the success or failure of the whole project depends on how you manage
to communicate the benefits of such a pc (privacy etc) and explain why costs
are so high.
I'm pretty sure the fsf and gnu will support the campaign; even more: the fsf

How can I get a newer version of GStreamer? What exactly do I have to do?
I am only interested in distros that are fully free.
Trisquel Parabola GNU/Linux are both the most popular and actively
maintained of the free software distribution (as FSF defines
it/certifies/approves/etc).
I recently installed Trisquel on a fairly old laptop. In order to boot from
the liveCD, I needed to add the boot parameters acpi=off and nomodeset.
However, now that Trisquel has been installed, I cannot add these parameters
in GRUB. I looked up the randomly generated password, but when I
Is the Troll Hole meant to be a general board? For topics that aren't

If general (non-Trisquel) topics/questions are best left off trisquel.info,
perhaps someone could set up a a forum for that.

Generally speaking you compile from source. And hope you've got new enough
libraries on your system to support the newer version. (It's probably
possible to have different versions of libraries on your system too but
that's beyond my abilities.)
There might be a precompiled version

Thank you for your very detailed answer, Chris.
I applicate most of your recommandations.

In general it is a wellknown myth that Linux has no viruses. There are
viruses and rootkits similar to other operating system.

I should have removed the Adobe links from the error message. That's not the
solution for me.
You should complain to those responsible that they are not using standard

that only works in Adobe Reader.
Here's an earlier discussion on the subject. Unfortunately no solution was

Thanks for your help guys. LAO sent me a version in standard PDF.
I will ask them to use standard formats. I'll have to do it in writing; they

Where could I have found this information? I hadn't seen it mentioned in the

Any idea why commenting out the lines in the password file didn't work?

Hello Everyone;
My name is DeckardCain and I am a software developer. I began using free

First of all, welcome, and good on you for helping program free software.
My question is, how have you kept yourselves on the right track this
entire time, and is there any way that I can easily convince my
friends to atleast try to not use Micro$oft Windows and proprietary
software?
Hmm,

What codecs were you using to play 10-bit h264 videos on Windows? In my
experience, SMPlayer has the least laggy 10-bit h264 codecs and plays
smoothly, not to mention the good GUI and support for subtitles/FLAC audio.

All that's wrong with it is they include non-free software in their
repositories. The system can consist of entirely free software, if you're
careful. Let me quote a user from Slashdot who summed things up well: What

OK. I downloaded gstreamer-1.1.4.tar.xz from the gstreamer.freedesktop.org
and tried to compile it. I got this error message.

No package 'gmodule-no-export-2.0' found

I laugh at it because it reinforces the notion of the Debian GNU/Linux distro
not containing proprietary software, which isn't true. It comes from strange
double-talk from the Debian Project in which they claim that the non-free
software in their repositories is somehow not part of Debian.
I don't know much about codecs, so I can't give you a precise answer (I'm a
noob.). But I recall having downloaded Combined Community Codec Pack and
Media Player Classic.
I share your observation that SMPlayer plays 10-bit videos quite smoothly
(even better than VLC), but it still

Actually, this probably deserve a blog post to fully explain everything and
flesh it all out.
You need to install dependencies required to build gstreamer from source.
Simply run
sudo apt-get build-dep libgstreamer0.10-0
I think the mplayer package has been replaced by mplayer2. Try installing
that package instead:
sudo aptitude install mplayer2

Is there such a thing as free hardware? I'm talking about computer hardware
that are not restricted by patents (i.e., you're free to copy,
reverse-engineer and modify it for any purpose). It will be nice if there are
computers that are made from completely free hardware and free software.
I am getting ready make a buy through Thinkpenguin next month for the same

I'm so sick and tired of this shit. It's all over the internet including this
