Thanks magic banana. While I was also tempted on doing a apt-get install from
the terminal I was a bit worried about installing it that way on sugar on

The instructions for installing activities on Sugar are slightly different:

No problem. As per open hardware have a look at https://h-node.org some of
the platinum category hardware is actually not too expensive.
Maybe you can use an old netbook as a thin client SOC. It will spend a bit
more electricity but if you remove all the casing and maybe look into not
turning on the wifi and the screen you might lower the energy consumption
To check freedom compatiblity use h-node:

I am going to talk about this with my local representatives this Friday. I
suggest any other UK residents do the same. ask them to slowly shift towards
libreoffice and openoffice. there are loads of UK copanies that support this

The reason is about competition and helping local small
Hello Freeuniverse,
welcome to trisquel and gnu/linux. Sorry this will not be an answer as I do
not know how to do it. But I have two questions:
when creating the freeusb did you leave some free space? if you did not then
when you do find out how to do it it will not be saved.
why do

Thanks!
Hi Alexander,
OK. once I know how to add that to the wiki page I will. Any suggestions
would be useful!
Hopefully the ics will be attached. Sadly the forum does not accept ics files
so I renamed it to a txt file. simply change the extension.
Hi salparadise,
Are the groups in Manchester and Birmingham FSFE groups? they certainly are
not in libreplanet wiki that I have seen. Could you send links?
FSFE you can become a fellow. which as far as I can tell is similar to
becoming a member of the fsf. But I am sure you can show up to
This is amazing! Brixtion is not too far. Are you part of the group? would
you like to come over? There is a coderDojo soon and I would like as much
free software as possible.
Thanks for the support. I already meet up with others in the area but most
are not too concerned with free as in freedom software. I am hoping to get
more free software people involved.
Hi Salparadise,
I imagined that was the case with several of us so I decided to go ahead and
create one.

next, from my point of view, if you take a ppa or a *.deb package that helps
you install propietary software such as skype on your trisquel machine it
means you have malware.
an antivirus is for virii not all malware.

Hi all,
some time ago I was using identi.ca and I joined tbe trisquel group.
I am unsure but I think the microblog feed on trisquel.info no longer works.
Agreed a crowd funding campaign such as mediagoblin did sounds like a good
idea.
what G4JC said. and an easy to use programming language that is propietary in
my mind seems worst than an easy to use tablet.
i am getting subscription as a christmas present. linux format magazine
introduced me to trisquel.
at least they use the freesoftware term.
Thanks Magic Banana!
ogg convert never failed me, but I wanted something that I could scale up or

hi theseus,
I admire your commitment to help free software, you are past knowledge,
hopefully dome one else can help.
all I can suggest is to run pitivi from the terminal and post the message

Hi, just recently I installed pitivi it is on version 0.15.2, out of
curiosity, 0.9 is an older version, right? why are you installing an older
version and not using the default availble in add/remove programs?
have you tried sudo apt-get install cairo?

plus they use the term 'free software' and not 'open source'.
i feel they post it as it is and then readers such as smiley and myself take
an informed decision. we chose trisquel others might want mint, but they will

That way I guess duckduckgo knows that the search came refered from a

Not sure.
I do not know how to make it so that trisquel can be seen as linked if

Hello all,
just read this I know either don't use PPA (i recommend this option) or
normally trisquel users do check that their sources are free software but you
might want to check that it is also not malware.
I am slightly familiar with it but last time I used it was with windows a
year ago. i might have time to see if I run in to the same problem.
lloydsmart I am looking forward to try your tutorial out. thank you!
i agree with jxself at this point.
you could be a member of trisquel and you get an xmpp account.

i found they take feedbsck seriouslt. try their forums.
use synaptic to uninstal libre office suite. make sure you use remove
completly.
after install you might have space to reinstall.
careful.
after your upgrade to 6.0 i mean
but better uninstall programs you do not need.
you might be better off reinstalling giving plenty extra to /.
maybe changing from libre office to abiword and gnumeric will let you have
some extra space.
as far as i recall you will not be able to redice the home partition if it is
xps. you will have to backup and delete it completely in order to shrink it.
i do not know if I can help but when you did the do-release upgrade, what was
it that it said that was missing?
bought the magazine! next issue will have a full feature on trisquel.
On the back of the magazine it says it comes out in the 23rd of May.
btw my local news agent did not have the magazine. but the saw me snooping
around the magazine section and then leaving the shop. they asked me if I was
looking for something i said a magazine called linux format. they said
it is really cool! T shirt is great too.
yay! i subscribed to that magazine. they donate to fsf as well. i think i
heard about trisquel by them.
they also have a podcast and webpage called tuxradar they post their code as
free software. they do use the term gnu/linux but there is a short note in
the inside page.
any way normally
sold in uk but also usa and other contries. they accept subcriptions from
around the world but i only know this because feedback section was filled
with comments as how expensive it is.
thanks!
Thanks! would you say that the first two are done by 'janitor'?
last one means i would go to synaptic and search for linux headers and delete
the ones with smallest version number?
i do not have that login appearance.
in other lines, did you all change the default search engine to ddg?
