1) Considering gnusense uses packages that, I'm pretty sure, are older than anyone alive today.. 2) And also considering that Trisquel doesn't seem to aspire to bleeding edge instability, which is more or less what Debian sid is, blood of the users and all that.. Well, honestly, that seems

Well legalities are more or less moot with these kinds of things. And as I understand it, this was code inserted by a malicious developer and as such I would assume the users did not agree to having their machines used this way. And I would further assume that the software company in questi

[Trisquel-users] trouble with Brasero

2013-12-01 Thread adel . afzal
I'm trying to create an audio CD with some flac files. My computer ejects the CD before Brasero starts burning, and Brasero gives me an error message. I tried to make a cue file, also with Brasero, from those same flac files. I thought I'd try and make an audio CD from the cue file instead.

I hit the "burn" button right before reading your post Icaro! It's okay lol, I don't mind so much. I'll use k3b next time. I used the "Convert to ogg" program. With the highest quality setting, the ogg file sizes were about 1/4 of flac.
