What happened to Ututo gnu linux???
Is still alive?
A big IANAL here. We're coming at this from different angles. Yes non-free
drivers are a GPL violation. However, these drivers and firmware (or at
least the ones I've tried) are click-through licensed by Mediatek under the
GPL and you seem to idicate some of the source confirms that too.
Yeah, I don't think we can get it. On the other hand, the Ralink firmware
blobs are the smallest in the whole linux-firmware.git tree. And a developer
of rt2x00 said
One of the things I like about the Ralink hardware is that almost everything
that really matters is handled in software.
Last December, the FSF thought the project was dead but it turned out to be
wrong (see the update at the top of the post):
https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/upcoming-changes-for-ututo
That said, it certainly is a bad idea to use their outdated last release.
I think the way we're phrasing this is off.
Quite a bit of GPL licensed code violates the principles of the GPL and free
software movement. This is something that distinguishes the free software
movement from the open source movement. open source proponent have no
problem with non-free
In most cases the GNU GPL licensed driver has separate firmware, but in
other cases, like the Ralink drivers that firmware is non-free and embedded
within the free code and thus not really free (and particularly not in any
useful way).
The drivers on Mediatek website are the old drivers
Hello,
Anyone have any experience using Kongoni? Apparently it's free as in freedom
but it's not endorsed by the FSF.
It looks impressive but it seems to be dormant at the moment. Hopefully it
will come back to life because it looks user friendly and we could do with
more user friendly
Hey every one.
I'm having a problem with abrowser 30 that I didn't use to have with previous
versions.
Now, after watching a video on youtube using the html5 player for a while,
the video starts playing choppy and slow, although the audio sounds right. It
even takes a while for the video
I'm going to provide a bit of information on what chipsets are free software
friendly and contain no non-free parts (embedded or otherwise) in most cases:
RTL8187L/RTL8187B/RTL8187 - USB G wireless Adapters
AR9271/AR9170/AR7010+AR9280 - USB N Wireless Adapters
AR9280/AR9281/AR9285/AR9287 -
Where is that Lenovo spyware located: in BIOS or firmware of another
chip? I know two related issues: spyware in their BIOS (replaced by
coreboot/libreboot) and ME firmware in all models since X61 (while only
X60 is supported by libreboot), this one is different.
Avoiding laptop manufacturers

Tried to install it but it is outdated and uncompatible with my updated
Abrowser. Are there similar add-ons? Thanks!
I actually just posted on this. I believe this is a near complete list of the
802.11n wireless chipsets that are free software friendly:
RTL8187L/RTL8187B/RTL8187 - USB G wireless Adapters
AR9271/AR9170/AR7010+AR9280 - USB N Wireless Adapters
AR9280/AR9281/AR9285/AR9287 - PCI/PCI Express
Not a good sign:
The website is now being used by someone else for some other computer-related
business. I don't know if it's the old maintainer or not, but it definitely
isn't being used for the distro.
Too bad. A fully free Slackware would be nice.
Well, this seems to happen only on full screen. Exiting the full screen
doesn't fix the problem thought. Refreshing the page does momentarily, until
the problem comes again after a while.
You can try maxversion bumping it, see e.g.

I'm not sure. Lenovo systems though have a number of different firmware
pieces. Simply flashing LibreBoot doesn't fix it. That much I know. You might
be able to write over it or something similar. It doesn't solve the problem
that it exists in the first place though.
I think your missing

Yes confirm, this only happens in 720p HD on full screen. 360p works fine
at full screen.
I have notice that html5 videos in abrowser seem to require kind of a lot
from the computer, specially in small netbook computers, but this is the
first time happing with my laptop.
Using linterna magica or even downloading the same videos played with totem
plays smoothly at 720p even in
Unless we want free boot firmware, we should choose option 2, boycott
Apple and Lenovo. If we want free boot firmware, we need laptops
similar to ones for which hard reverse engineering work was done, like
Lenovo X60 or the Apple laptop using similar chips.

I tried what probably was the first version of Kongoni GNU/Linux. The package
management was *horrible*: extremely slow, very few packages, buggy GUI.
If I recall well, the project later included some proprietary software. Adobe
Flash I believe.
Anyway, the project looks dead now.
I found the following solution:

Maybe this could help in old computers and netbook.

Yea- ultimately the best solution is neither of the above. The best solution
is to move away from x86. I think we would need a more coordinated effort to
do that. We need 1. people with reverse engineering skills, 2. people with

You may want to check out Replicant. It's a free android replacement. Android
is not free. That said if you can't sync your phone you may be able to
utilize a microsd card reader instead.
Has your phone got an option (usually accessible through notifications on
mine) to either only recharge the phone with the USB connection or to make
the phone treat itself as a storage dive?
Commenting on Youtube requires 3rd-party cookies, which is a security flaw,
