Re: [Trisquel-users] 2 Trisquel Problems

1. That might be the menu path on Trisquel and not Trisquel mini. You can try the xset command. It can change screensaver and dpms properties. (The screensaver isn't mentioned on the man page but you can see it with xset --help)

Re: [Trisquel-users] 2 Trisquel Problems

Thanks for your tipps. 1. I didn't find something like that ... is this also possible to change it by the terminal? 2. On Terminal I can update and upgrade.

Re: [Trisquel-users] how to enable log-in sound

That is exactly what it is! an Ubuntu sound; usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/destop-login.ogg, This is Trisquel, I like better my login Flamenco style sound. Not something Mesopotamian. This is just my Opinion.

[Trisquel-users] how to enable log-in sound

I started a new thread, since this really doesn't have anything to do with gNewSense. There is a log-in sound that was enabled on Trisquel 5.5 (Brigantia) that is truly spectacular. It is disabled by default in 7.0 (Belenos), but is relatively easy to enable. Many thanks to Dave Hunt for

[Trisquel-users] Re : trisquel on virtualbox / screen reso.

It is possible to edit `/etc/default/grub`, change the `GRUB_GFXMODE` variable, use `sudo update-grub2` then reboot. However, the GFX mode must be available, and strange resolutions are rarely available.

That is to be configured from "Brightness and lock" (in the "System settings"); Could you open a terminal, type 'sudo apt-get upgrade', enter your password when it is asked, and post here the output of the command? If you do not specifically want the LXDE desktop environment (for instance,

[Trisquel-users] harvesting emaill addresses from my archives

I have just located in some old backups some old old mail archives. Browsing through them would be a pain in the rear. So I have a need for some Icedove extension that could parse the newly added folders and fill up an addressbook with what it finds. Do you know anything that can do the job?

Re: [Trisquel-users] How search trough software

On the other hand there there are packages on the FSF directory which aren't found in the Trisquel repositories so also your advice is better in that way.

When searching for packages in Synaptic there's the option to search in package descriptions, which usually does what you want. There's the same functionality in (It's linked from the navigation bar at the right). When you do this. you're using the information

Your suggestions seem better. One step instead of two.

You can search for software by category (function) at directory.fsf.org Specifically: http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Category/Use Once you have program names, could you use the names to search repositories?

My question is how and where to search trough software repositories by function when it's not in the name? E.g. contrast, brightness. Or calculator, text editor.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Kernels

lloydsmart questioning is actually a very interesting subject. Here is my question? Why do they keep the old kernels that are listed as old/version after 4 updates? Why the old version is not deleted when you update them? It sounds a bit heavier on your hard drive space, to keep accommodating

Re: [Trisquel-users] Popcorn time

Inspect the element at the top-right which says "stash" on it. Just above it, you'll see an element with the class "aui-sidebar-body". Select that, and then under rules (to the right), disable "overflow-y: auto". That will make a menu show up. If you're inside a repository, one button in this

Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Kernels

When (other) packages are updated, a package replaces another of the exact same name. When Linux is updated, Debian's (and Ubuntu's, J. Self's,...)packaging sets it up such that a new version has a name that's slightly different from the old one. This means that "de jure", APT considers it

Seems that it should be working like that, but it currently isn't (using any form of possible package upgrade methods). Not sure, though. http://askubuntu.com/questions/369105/what-is-ubuntus-policy-on-keeping-old-kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1175637

Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Kernels

I see. Maybe there should be some sort of mechanism to make sure old kernel versions don't "pile up", though. Like maybe only keeping the current version plus the most recent old version, and deleting anything older than that. Just a thought.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Kernels

So if for some reason the new kernel causes problems, you can revert to the old one. Otherwise, if such a thing were to happen, you might not be able to boot.

Neither are official; the official version was shut down. Both are forks. But indeed, the fork at popcorntime.io seems to be the best one.
