Yes! Thank you kind sir.
I think an important technique is improving functionality, and features.
Linux is not limited in any way compared to closed source alternatives,
which create their own limitations, and baggage. The list of constraints
closed source places on itself are endless, as is the potential of

# Trisquel repositories for supported software and updates

I would thought this kind of thing would be scripted to pull down the
updates, no?
Without free BIOS-Microcode, we will never have a secure platform to run on.
We also cannot allow them to force propitiatory restrictions on storage
standards. Mark my words you will regret a standardization of $mart
storage.
It is but quidam is working on the plumbing.

The freedom of free speech doesn't include the right that everybody has to
listen and agree to you.
So even if the whole world complained about the name of thinkpinguin, their
freedom wouldn't be affected since nobody wants to legally make the change
their name.
A common misunderstanding
Hi!
Thank's everybody, now I try.
Could explain how to instal Lightspark? Sorry but I'm a GnuLinux noob :)
So... I read I can launch steraming video from terminal or VLC... How can I
do this? When I try launch a video's URL from VLC it doesn't work.
Could be a codec's problem? If it is where
That's was my reaction at first glange, but, if there are not proprietary
drivers very few people are able to use it.
The goal was to create a trustworthy, privacy respecting gnu-linux
distribution.
Without proprietary blobs, few people would have been able to use it, no
doubt about that.
With proprietary blobs, _no one_ is able to use it, since privacy is
completely terminated.
I can't believe that they

And if you lose the keys to the kingdom you can kiss your stuff good bye.
Yes, you are correct, I think full disk encryption is the best option, but it
takes an awful lot of time.
I remember reading in the FSF webpage that between Linux distros and BSD
distros there is a difference in the way they use the word blob. Could it
be the case here, as in, they don't use proprietary drivers per se, but use
some kind of firmware (I mean as in accessing some closed software
So what?
Sure a lot of people talk about it and use it.
Don't get me wrong, I really respect what he did for society. It was a great
contribution!
But I've seen several interviews with him, and did he mention free software
even once?
No, he didn't. He talked about all kind of things and
People in the free software movement do not care about the principals Linux
upholds or about the Linux spirit of superior security? They care about
the the principals GNU upholds and about the four essential freedoms any
user deserves.
In this way, your post is a good example of why only

I did it by choosing encrypt whole partition during the debian installation
and it was really easy.
The machine boots just as fast as normal after I type in the passphrase, so I
really can recommend this way of doing it.
You can prevent this with regular backups in many cases;
for instance, I've encrypted my notebook so I can take it with me in public.
My backups are on pcs at home.
This is a huge step up - the danger of losing my notebook in public is pretty
realistic. It happened to a lot of people, and it
My mistake (did not read it carefully). You are correct.
They include non free firmware. Firmware is run on the peripheral itself,
unlike a driver. Most firmware, except a few, has no source available and is
non free.
If you don't care, lot of people care about what he has to says about
security
the fact are there, he didn't use trisquel nor windows...he might not be an
advocate of free software.
The BSD community's (I guess) view is that since the firmware blobs run on
the devices (rather than the computer itself) it doesn't matter.
The FSF's is that since it's present on editable storage medias (e.g the
HDD), it matters.
I was wondering if it is possible to add xul-ext-torproxy to your repository
so other users could benefit from the use of icecat on their computers
(thinking how an alternative to NextDRMfox) :)
quantumgraviry, thinking about, you're right, without free soft i don't think
could be security, and Snowden miss a great opportunity like you said. my
first glance was the good one.
I already did :)
But I just wanted to note, if you don't use KDE, there's no reason to use my
PPA. If you use the official repo (http://devel.trisquel.info/icecat/) you'll
get the packages more quickly.
Is there any way to sucessfully upgrade a working T6 to T7 without going
through a quagmire? I tried just changing sources and apt-getting my brains
out and it's mired in dependency hell with dpkg errors, etc. (It's not
hardware because it runs 6 without a hitch!)
Previously I have tried
You can't do it by just changing the sources. The proper way to do it is:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo do-release-upgrade
-d
But it might be difficult to recover your system now.
I'm curious what graphics chip you have in your system...
I'm thinking this might have something to do with 3d accelerated graphics
support in 7 that didn't exist in 6, but doesn't actually work for you in 7.
Disabling the driver might solve the problem.
In case someone with a similar situation finds this page -- here's how to run
a script:
1. Open the terminal, and type:
cd [directory where your script is]
Example:
cd /home/username/Desktop/research/
Put the PDF files in the same directory
2. Then type the following, to give yourself
It took me a little while to figure out what I was looking at ... thank you
so much! I'm running the script now, and it's finding pages! This is so
cool. I'm going to PM you about that beer.
Also, thanks a lot Legimet. You guys are the best.
It is true that you have to turn the script executable. You can do that with
'chmod +x' or from a graphical file browser (in Nautilus: right click,
Properties, Permissions tab, a box to check).
If you plan to frequently use the script, you had better move it to a
directory listed in your

I have solved it. It was easy now. The answer is to close most of the times.

I wanted to re-install 6 before answering just to be sure but that wasn't
working either. It said no new release found. Is that because 7 isn't
official yet?
Was looking forward to this. Will this ever be available for viewing?
If you don’t think Linux is about creating a secure environment, then
find me one Dev who thinks allowing third party executables to be installed
with a double-click should be permitted in their distribution. I would argue
that security is a core tenant of the free software movement.
That's how you upgrade to a newer development release in Ubuntu, so I thought
it would work in Trisquel. I never tested it though.
Does this have RYF potential?

The script now considers that the arguments that start with - (e.g., -F
or --ignore-case) are options for 'grep'. I put the script on my website:

With that logic Genesis, Yes, ELP, and Jehtro Tull are all only about the
