Excellent discovery TomLuke...I never noticed the Chinese mirrors before!
That should be all he needs.
Are you sure about that? I think that only the patched packages are rebuilt
from source. The other packages are copied, unchanged, from the Ubuntu
repositories. This was the main argument of the prism-break guys for
excluding Trisquel from their list of recommended distros (they don't trus
Thanks for the great explanation.
Linux hardcodes the names of firmware files. If one is missing, an error
message naming that firmware file is displayed. Debian's Linux just takes out
the firmware, so these error messages show. Linux-libre removes these names
from the source code and prints "DEBLOBBED" instead of the name of
To clarify, you're wrong to assume that Trisquel uses the Ubuntu
repositories. Trisquel has its own repositories, though the software in them
is from Ubuntu's repositories (compiled from source, not just copying the
binaries; and in many cases with custom patches applied).
The FSF doesn't judge hardware based on whether or not it's malicious, but
rather, on whether or not you are not being restricted from exercising
control over your computing. Firmware being burnt into a ROM is not a
gratuitous restriction like Microsoft's refusal to give the source code to
How are the developers at Debian removing the firmware blobs without losing
the functionality to load non-free firmware blobs?
You do not "have to wait for Trisquel": you can install any desktop
environment you like!
I personally use GNOME Shell (just install the eponymous package on top of
Trisquel and choose it at the graphical login screen). There is Trisquel Mini
with LXDE. There are the "triskel" and "triskel-

Well, thanks anyways. I am pretty sure the panel is off screen, I tried
changing the resolution. Also, whenever I make a window full screen it never

bottom of the screen. And if I kill the gnome-panel process, the wi

The "multiverse" section only contains proprietary software! Don't do that:
you would give up your own freedoms!
The directories with random names must have been created by some poorly coded
application (which you may have not properly closed). Deleting them should
not be problematic.
Try that command to empty your trash bin:
$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*/*
If it outputs errors, show them to us.
i recently tried installing trisquel with the netinstall cd
and i noticed there was a Chinese mirrior:
I'd recommend installing the software from source or DEB files instead.
If it's possible, you could also use Tor/Proxychains/VPN.
You should talk to the Debian community. Trisquel inherits the package
categorization from Debian.
Surprisingly, the cupswrapper one (but not the lpr one) looks like free
software. But the manufacturer's drivers are usually crap. You might want to

You can use the Pi in freedom, but then you are limited to 128 kb of sram.
The sdram won't work without nonfree software. This is the same problem that
the librem has.

I would not recommend it, but in theory it should be possible. Most Libre

Ruben, perhaps Trisquel could offer a mirror in Hong Kong or Taiwan?
I am having problems deleting some folders from the trash. I tried restoring

Reading the manual or using a multimeter should answer your question.
You might also trace to which pins the wires go.

What the FSF says, as far as I know is not that "It's free if it can't be
updated".
I think they said something like, if it can't be tweaked, it can be counted
as hardware, and since we specialise in software."
You can install the package named "system-config-printer-gnome" (for instance
from the "Synaptic package manager") and get the graphical interface you use
to have on Trisquel 6.

I meant more a way to use the old sync with newer versions of FF.

There are different drivers at their website but I don't know if they are
