I had problems with that package when I upgraded from Trisquel 7 to 8 as
well.

Yep, this is scary stuff. I hope that the crazies in our world lose power.
Trump is just a symptom of the issue sadly... He isn't the moron who started
all this crap. That began with Nixon. At least in my country anyways...
I agree with Stallman. what he says here is absolutely true.
Gmail is easy to switch from, android... hmm not sure.
I use disroot.org
Donate if you feel like it, It is free and relies heavily on donations.
Also, it is free as in freedom. :)
I will say, you did catch some good mistake, although, ReactOS in my opinion
is still far better than using windows.
But yeah your right about it promoting the use of proprietary software.
That and debian doesn't use linux-libre.
I think the FSF can maintain that list just fine as-is. They would never use
this modification. Just a few problems:
You're using the word "edition" wrongly.
Debian doesn't use Linux-libre.
There is no such thing as "Linux-nonfree".
"An" is only used when the following word begins with a
"What's stopping me from licensing everything under AGPL?"
Absolutely nothing. In fact I'd love to see more things licensed in that way.
There is some stuff at http://gplv3.fsf.org/ especially if you go to the
Comments tab which lets you review various Discussion Drafts and see what

Pretty much this is the case, alternatives to the juggernauts who are
actively against software freedom and all about cosolidating control and
power, must be built. AMD and Intel can easily make free (as in freedom)
friendly hardware (or not exploit labor or build fabrication plants on
From my personal experiences:
First introduce them to free software that actually runs in Windows (VLC,
gimp, Libreoffice etc).
Once they are used to daily using this tools (this may take some time), show
them that by running gnu/linux they will use the same programs, only without
viruses,
To distinct this from Parabola, then Parabola is rolling but Hyperbola is
LTS. The freedom and pacman cores are mutual.
When I think about it, I think I saw that package in regular Trisquel 8 (MATE
environment?), but now I get to try the Kubuntu though.

I'm installing the "ubuntu-full" package now, and it has come to this point
where it says "The marked changes are now being applied. This may can some
time. Please wait.
It has been in that state for quite some time now, and I'm beginning to feel
like maybe there's an error of some kind.
I see, that's interesting :)
I guess I will just have to try different environments to learn more
I did everything listed and got only one problem.
Since the upgrade to Trisquel 8 I could not install any package or execute
update.
Terminal kept responding with:

It's understandable to be confused by this. If you're new to GNU/Linux the idea
of getting to choose your desktop environment is a foreign concept. Since
you're using a Macbook, I assume that you used macOS before switching to
Trisquel. Apple obfuscates the distinction between their operating
I think the best thing that can come out of this mess is an increased drive
to develop viable alternatives to Intel/x86.
Yes, that sounds right. Kubuntu is a flavor of Ubuntu that uses KDE as its
default desktop environment, so the package name is probably leftover from
upstream. It's the same thing as KDE-full.
Hi, I read the comments again, after a reply from mason, and I would like to
say sorry for my behaviour.
Anyway, I didn't find the kde-full (perhaps it is because I use Trisquel 8),
but I find kubuntu-full which mason talks about. Is that the same? :)
Again: sorry, and thank you for being
From what in this quote do you infer that KDE is an operating system?
I have no idea. Sorry about that.
But allright. I do not find kde-full which ao talks about (maybe it's because
I'm using Trisquel 8), but I do find kubuntu-full, do you believe that's the
same thing as ao talks about?:)
Can you provide some links?
Scarce information too, bad page.
There are two distinct, albeit related, CPU vulnerabilities making recent
news. One of them, "Meltdown," is Intel-specific. The other, "Spectre," is
present in all recent Intel, AMD, and ARM CPUs (and potentially, any CPU that
uses branch prediction and speculative execution). Meltdown
Well that's a problem that needs to be adressed. There are bigger demands now
and these manufacturers need to think about graphics, not just CPU's.
Why goo.gl URLs? Google does not need to know we are visiting the page.

I think that would Adobe but I also think I am probably wrong. Microshit?
that is Microscam?
Always welcome, m8!

I am amazed you ask this, you should know better. Not supporting and
rejecting the mafia is always and in any case better, mate quanty.

That's not a command. Use sudo emacs /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.
emacs is a text editor, you can replace it your favorite editor. I am not
sure which you one you have installed.
Some people simply thought the AGPL's extra term went too far for a copyleft
license. Philosophical, not technical. You can use AGPL for everything just
fine.
+1 :-)
Huh.

Once an abuser like Google has control over parts of your life it can be very

Hyperbola is one I can add. They are seeking the certification from fsf.
He does have a point and so do you.

No.
That would be like saying, "Is Charles Manson the biggest, most successful

The idea is for you to learn how to solve problems yourself.

This title is based on the premise that web services are proprietary,
user-subjugating when they are not Aferro GPL licensed.
BTW, Google forbids software licensed under AGPL.
Here is my line of thought.
Some time ago the FSF discovered that software users could loose their
freedom when doing their computing in others people's computers.
To protect users, the FSF released the AGPL, whose only difference with the
GPL is the following (quoting from
Maybe you use Synaptic package manager? There you can see that the package

KDE is Free Software: it's in the Trisquel repository.
KDE is not an operating system, like Trisquel is.
KDE is a desktop environment, like GNOME or XFCE.
Where's the list of FSF's recommended desktop environments?
" KDE (/ˌkeɪdiːˈiː/) is an international free software community[1] that
develops Free and Open Source based software. "
Seems like it's a bit more than a desktop environment according to your link

That is indeed some great tips, thank you sir, and pardon for posting many
questions that may be very basic.
May I ask what manual you linked last time?:)
"Since the init"?
KDE? Is that a package?
I searched the repository, but I got several matches with "KDE", but none
that was simply called "KDE", they all had something added to the name.
Okay. That. Is. AWESOME!

But this is gold, really. Thank you very much, and also Time4Tea and everyone
else in here. This is so cool.
In KDE there's indicator-cpufreq which can run in the system area. It gives
me seven options to do what you describe.
It might be worth the OP checking the config settings for the Trisquel
kernel, to see if the voltage/frequency scaling features are enabled. If not,
that might be part of the reason that the machine is running hotter under
Triqsuel. Although, I would think those things should be enabled, if
Any changes to those files are not going to persist when you reboot the
machine. The /sys directory is populated/refreshed by the kernel during boot,
to provide info about the underlying hardware to userspace processes.
I was going to suggest adding some commands to one of the init scripts,
I don't think there should be too much concern about 'frying' the PC. There
should be a thermal cut-out that will immediately shut the power off if the
machine gets too hot. When I bought my Macbook 2,1 off of Ebay, the fan
