It's great you're fighting spam. There are way too many semi abandoned wikis
and forums out there that act as dumping grounds for spam.
I have a theory that spam invites spam. A bit like

Sad to hear you have problems but they're probably limited to yourself.
Depending on what repos you're using and what packages you've installed. So
it probably is safe to upgrade for everybody else. Not upgrading certainly is
unsafe.
This sounds like the train wreck which you get when you f
debian kernel is linux-libre with patches of debian developers
fuck systemd
No it isn't. Debian has its own deblobbing process which is slightly
different from Linux-libre's. See above.
Wouldn't it be awesome if someone could invent a system that automatically
returned all spam to the originator x1000, so sending spam would result in
the spammer's systems being DDOSed! :)
Welcome to Trisquel Brian! No problem too l33t or too noob to ask here :)
Since nobody has mentioned it yet, another common cause of suspend/ hibernate
problems is insufficient swap space. In Windows, this is sometimes referred
to as a "page file" and is just a file on the Windows partition.
Hey Amenex, this thread is about the FCC forcing hardware manufacturers to
prevent end users from install their own choice of software on devices they
own, if they have wifi capability. The issues you raise about blocking spam
and nuisance calls are worthy of consideration, but as Chris has a
Can you log in a real terminal (that you obtain with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or
Ctrl+Alt+F2 or ... or ... Ctrl+Alt+F6)? If so, you can copy your files from
there (with the 'cp' command).
Botnets (many regular Windows systems who caught a Troyan) send spams.
in case you wonder who down-voted each and every single one of your posts -
it was me. I'll do that every time one of my posts or anybody else's post
gets unjustly and inappropriately down-voted.
peace :)
I'm sorry, but that is unacceptable behavior. First of all, who are you to
judge whether a downvote was "just" and "appropriate", and second of all, how
do you presume to know who did it?

The Trisquel installer usually creates a big enough swap partition so I don't
think this is his problem. Running linux 3.13 is not ideal though.

I don't much like the system either, and I've experienced the negative
effects, but participating in a bad system is not a good way to protest it.
That just makes you look like a hypocrite.
Indeed.
I used to use Systemctl and Journalctl from systemd which is very convenient
for end user.
I did not know much about the mechanism of both Upstart and systemd.
Ok. Daunting as it was, I waded through the kernel update and it actually
worked. (Aside: the instructions at

clarification; I ended up going to the jxself site directly, as suggested,
and had a much easier time). So now a un
No one has an idea?
I so far only found out, that it should have to do something with "pinentry".
And somebody told me, that there is kind of an incompatibility between
gpg-agent and pinentry. But I am not sure. There should be a FAQ for this
somewhere. I am not afraid of the command line or
If the RAM usage is above 1 GB when you try to hibernate (suspend does not
use the disk), then, yes, it can be the cause. The 1 GB threshold is not
exact though because the content off the main memory is zipped before being
dumped onto the swap partition.
Trisquel's documentation is a wiki.
My ThinkPenguin Wi-Fi USB dongle's Information pop-up has no entry for an
IPv6 address, but its stated "Hardware Address" has hexadecimal IPv6
notation. That's the identity that I think should be immutably hardwired and
blockable.
Chris started this thread on the subject of locked-in proprietary code in
hardware:

Well I'll see if I can get another memory stick into the machine and see what
happens.
Somewhat off topic but still related to this thread - are there manufacturers
that are generally more friendly to the Trisquel GNU/Linux OS? I'm not at all
adverse to buying a used machine. I suppose Dell
You need more swap, not more memory. You can enlarge your swap or make a swap
file.
The easy way to solve all these issues is to get one of the machines
https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom
That's the MAC address. IPv6 addresses aren't the only things indicated by
series of hexadecimal integers.
As has been said in the other thread, those are MAC addresses, not IPv6
addresses. IP addresses have absolutely nothing to do with hardware.
I guess I'll look like a hypocrite then. I know that I'm not one. If you
think I am while I'm not that's fine. You are free and should be free to
think whatever you want. I think this downvoting system is a crap feature
that censors posts and kills rational and productive discussion. I see no
I asked on a few channels and got no answer so I went back to searx and spent
a little time searching and I found a solution.

In all honesty that's what I thought upon discovering it.
(I should check out how the bug unfolded.I guess I will when I become
un-lazy enough to do that!)
Come on let's just have Quidam get the number indicating "-"-es down leaving
only the buttons to - or + them and the colour that the number of them can
result in.
OK. I was calling the physical address by the wrong name.
My computer's MAC address can be found with "/sbin/ifconfig" but my concern
remains the same: Can this physical address be forged with edited firmware ?
Certainly there is a big enough address space for every gizmo in

This system is major bullshit.
You know what i would find funny?
If somebody who downvotes a certain post has to write a short explanation
below _why_ he downvoted it.
I'm sure a lot of people can't.
I'm sure a lot of people just enjoy letting out the little asshole
I just realized something looks odd. Why does the 'used' parameter of my swap
file/partition come up as zero? There's nothing in there - nothing being
stored. Is this indicative of a problem right off the bat? If I'm not storing
anything in my swap file how can my machine come out of suspend
So I guess you lied here:

"Can this physical address be forged with edited firmware ?"
Sure, but the MAC address doesn't cross network boundaries so someone on the
other side of the internet will have no idea what it is.

prerequisite to its use in
HiYes it is very possible.
I had no problems getting trisquel installed.

Try opening heavy apps, like LibreOffice and abrowser with many tabs. Then
you should see a non-zero value.
Also, suspend is not using disk but RAM, hibernate goes to disk.
I just installed Trisquel in an attempt to get a completely free OS, I've
used Ubuntu before. But there's no Wifi, so I'm assuming I have no wifi
driver.
This is my hardware info:

product: Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]
vendor: Intel Corpor
So then I take it that I have to try some of the quirk things. That appeared
very needly-haystackish hit-or-miss. Are there any other options I should
attempt first?
Welcome to Trisquel! :)
You can get a Wi-Fi dongle that works with free software. I and many others
recommend ThinkPenguin: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it; but is this the only way?
And is it the small usb's you're speaking of?
Sorry I'm pretty unknowing when it comes to this stuff.
Yes, unless you rewrite the Intel Wi-Fi firmware under a free software
license and get it merged into Linux. :)
Hah okay, thank you.
srly? i didn't know
Intel Advanced Blobs WIFI sometimes makes you unable to boot, and if it
boots, your computer get lags.
Only Atheros chips will work.
Thanks for your support, Matthew!
If it's for a laptop I would go for the small one (wireless n). I use the
bigger one (wireless n) for my desktop. ThinkPenguin are based in the USA. If
you want to order from Europe instead, check out tehnoetic.
Any wifi dongle works or only specifics models? I want buy one, but I living
in Brazil and the shipping cost are much expensive for me =/
Okay, too bad! At least you've got a newer kernel now which might give you
other benefits.
Not, only Atheros will work. And ThinkPenguin works all with free software.
let me see:
I always read your text :)
Don't like the voting system and will never get tired repeating it. Never
downvoted or upvoted a single post on this forum or any forum in general. I

Okay so I will probably get an Atheros Wifi usb adapter soon. Thanks for the
info.
I'm gonna buy one in a few days so anything else I should know if someone
could please post that would be great.
If not I'll just be back on Ubuntu until then.
Thanks for the help guys.
Please note: not all Atheros wireless controllers will work! In fact, none of
the current generation of them will work, if I understand correctly. It's
only particular models from Atheros that work, such as the one Think Penguin
and Tehnoetic sell.
I tried to burn trisquel 32bit in 64bit trisquel with brasero to dvd.
I will try doing it in ubuntu later. It doesn't start burning at all and it
stops before it starts and gives an error. I used both internal and external
dvd burners.
Just right click on the ISO and choose "Write to Disc...". As written in
Trisquel's documentation:

Samsung M2825DW laser printer.
Can it be made to work under Trisquel?
If so, can it be made to work over the wifi?
I am reading things and it looks like it may be possible. CUPS?
The only resource I have found that specifically mentions my model is here:
https://www.openprinting.org/printer/S
this has to be stopped no matter what or those greedy people will cause a lot
of damage to themselves and others...
so i should start with python?
alright.
If it works, it should work out-of-the-box. But the only printer manufacturer
that does a really good job in this department is HP. I think all of them
require proprietary firmware, but a large number of them have that firmware
built-in, so they will at least work without the OS having to loa
