"ogg being the king of lossy audio."
I'd like to make a few points.
Ogg is only a container, not a codec. Think of it being the difference
between a box that holds stuff vs. the stuff that goes into that box.
You're probably thinking of Vorbis, which commonly goes into the Ogg
container (b
Yes, and it has for ages now.
Or at least that's what happens when all gstreamer plugins available in the
repos are installed
Oh, OK, I see.
Yeah, in 2018, the last patent on MP3 should expire. Even though that codec
is so shitty, the best implementation is "LAME" and even that is lame. Flac
is where it's at with ogg being the king of lossy audio.
Trisquel has never not supported MP3 since the time I started using it, and I
was using it by 2012.
I was using it by 2010 and I confirm: free codecs to any popular format
(including MP3) have always been part of the default install.
Is there a list identifying the "objects" that the terminal returns with my
query ?
They are under org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout.objects in dconf. You can use the
dconf editor that comes by default.
All produce the same set of choices (add to panel, properties, and new panel)
which I have
According to Richard Stallman, it's a bad practice to deny the existence
of a free software that allows the user to at least play/view or decode
their data that is stored using a patent-encumbered file format or that
is stored using a file format used by non-free software[1] (I'm not even
talking a
That post said nothing about Trisquel, and Trisquel definitely had support
for patented formats at that time. It applies to systems like Fedora, which
are sponsored by companies and therefore follow stricter rules. Also, since
Trisquel has historically been developed from Spain, it's been a n
I got it from this post:
http://trisquel.info/en/forum/why-dont-free-systems-support-mp3
It looks like that post was made on the year that would be the 20 year mark
for the initial MP3 standard, so it might have became patent-free a few
months after that post.
I don't know where you got the idea that Trisquel can't play MP3 files.
Trisquel has never not supported MP3 since the time I started using it, and I
was using it by 2012.
As far as the patents themselves go, there are still some patents on MP3 for
a few years (I think they'll all be expire
Well, the software has been free, I just hear the Free Software community is
scared of Software Patents. Teisquel is based on Ubuntu LTS and I'm not sure
if the last LTS had patent-MP3 support.
I'm not using trisquel now, but I look forward to trying it with a free bios

Please correct me if my memory is betraying me here, but I thought that i
once listened to mp3 with a fresh trisquel default install.
Or is this impossible?
I know at least that it's possible to listen to mp3 with free software.
It's been 20 years since the 1995 revision, so most the software patents
should be expired by now though the last revision was made in 1998, so the
latest revision is only a few years away.
I find it odd that I saw on a post that's a couple years old that you don't
support MP3 because of pa
Yes but i think OP and I mean Trisquel itself, not its packages. Such as the
installation wizard.
Regarding this subject. I think that they key to the answer is to check
with the parent projects. For example, if you want to translate
Trisquel's copy of LibreOffice, your best bet is to contribute
translations to the LibreOffice project.
I asked this just this month. It seems a lot of people are interested in
translating but none of us quite know how to. There doesn't seem to be a
simple platform for translation.
I think Trisquel mainly pulls translations from Ubuntu, which become a
problem when Trisquel modifies the origin
Hello,
I am thinking of making an Urdu translation of Trisquel. How would I go about
doing this?

Here's what I get with "gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout
object-id-list":
['object-0-8', 'object-0-9', 'object-0-10', 'object-0-11']
Note: there actually are four objects in my panel now: [clock,
Always fun to see what the browser is pushing out. Safari, Firefox, Internet
Explorer - very cool add-on - one of the defaults for any of installs.
Everyone should give it a try.
I use GNOME Shell. That is why I believe the configuration of gnome-panel
must be standard:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout object-id-list
['menu-bar', 'home', 'abrowser', 'window-list', 'notification-area',
'indicators', 'show-desktop']
I guess some of those "applets" are missi
