There are free programs in script languages that normally have no
separate binaries. The GPL defines object code as non-source forms of
the program, free software works and is used for programs where source
and binary are the same.
Assembly is like other compiled languages: source has comments, l
not sure what you are referring to? i certainly don't get a password prompt?
By default this will ask for password randomized at install time. You can see
it in /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD
Just install aptoncd.

Here's a page I wrote for another wiki, on how to use Orca, with examples
taken from my use of the thing in Trisquel.
http://accessiblefreedom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Orca#Starting_Orca
I'm blind and use Orca in GNU/Linux sistros. If you need it, Orca can speak
typed keys, or word-wise inputs. It reads and works with many applications,
including the desktop/menu system, synaptic package manager, terminal,
pidgin, libreoffice writer and calc, abrowser (ersions 24 and earlie
How exactly do I edit the grub line?
if you aren't getting the grub menu, hold SHIFT after BIOS. Use "e" (i
believe, it should say) to edit, then ctrl+x to boot after your change.
The source code still exists as text files, so as long as they are
distributed with the GPL the software remains free, I believe.
Instead of dpkg, you can install gdebi, a GUI based package installer. You
will have to connect to a Trisquel repo once to install it, though.

Here's a torrent version of linux-sunxi-libre-3.4.75.tar.bz2. Please seed!

I just tested the application "Orca Screen Reader". It speaks the keys that
I type on my keyboard. It seems to work system-wide. I tried it in the
Trisquel menu, program menus, LibreOffice, Synapse.
Orca also reads on-screen text. So if I select a new window, it will tell me
the window
I know that writing software in assembly language is no trivial matter, but
would that make the program nonfree, because there is no source code apart
from the binary? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the
assembly language can be derived from the binary.
I see Dave_Hunt help people out with this kind of thing once in a while. I
heard about Orca because of him. Maybe he'll see this topic.
I found these links in the Documentation:

"Use open source instead" < - absolutely NOT!!!
with the broken kernel(s) i'd suggesting editing the grub line and removing
"quiet splash" so you can actually see the output. i use encrypted lvm, so i
have to do this all the time (but honestly, i don't think hiding the boot
messages is a good idea)
The terms are pretty much the same when using the popular licenses (and hence
the catch-all term "FLOSS"), but if you are in a corporate environment
working for one or trying to work at one, they know what open source is. THey
think free software is some shareware program with malware you dow
It didn't work. The only changes it made are (a) There are now two "previous
Linux versions" and (b) the Trisquel 6.0 screen shows a lot of errors before
booting.
Try running, sudo update-grub.
If I boot or reboot my laptop, a Trisquel animation logo appears, but does
not go away, no matter how long I wait. I have to force it off with the power
button. When I boot again, a GRUB interface with a Debian background appears,
and asks me if I want to boot a 3.2.0-57 kernel, or "Previous
Do you know of one?
Might be going blind later on as my vision is decreasing dramatically more
and more. So i need to research how i can possibly use the computer
efficiently without the need of eyes.

Please describe the problem that occured in more detail.
In general it's perfectly possible to copy a .deb file on another computer
and install it with
sudo dpkg -i path/to/yourfile.deb
There is one big problem: the package will probably have dependencies which
dpkg doesn't take account for
I want to install packages on a computer without internet access. But I have
a second computer with internet connection.
I downloaded them as .deb files and tried apt-get install /home/USER/file.deb
but it didn't work. Installing via the graphical package manager doesn't work
either.
Please
A few days ago I did the same with a x60. It took me about a week to 1) read,
2) understand most parts, or at least understand enough for success and 3)
actually upgrading the BIOS. Once you know which steps to do, it will take a
few minutes only.
You might want to read a few more pages. GN

I've created a port of linux-sunxi-libre and I will announce new versions of

If you know your computer's IP address, you'll know the addresses of your
network. There are many ways to check your computer's address.
From the network icon in your desktop panel, select "Connection Information".
There you'll see "IP Address:" and your IP address next to it.
What I do is
I've just remembered that I had to change my USB mouse some time ago as it
interfere with my screen for a PS/2 one.
Also, most home theaters has inside the manual an inscription saying that the
equipment has something (not remember I think it's a lead) in order not to
interfere with screens.
Hi triser,
I found this really helpful when wiping my USB drive:

I'm sure I used the sswap command.
Hope it is helphul!
@huanglao:I suggest you to install Trisquel 6.0 from USB device in your
Xubnutu box 13.10 and by default it won't erase any of your Xubnutu stuff.
Here's more similar steps for your case from my experience:
