Would it work if you treat them as adults, and:
- give them the information necessary to decide for themselves (informed
consent)
- put limits to avoid them destroying the lives and privacy of other people.
When doing such choices, most adults are, formally(trough an EULA) or

This information is in dmesg:

So the idea is to first add your GPU in linux-libre: you just need to add it
to the list of supported GPU, and most importantly, to test that it works.
Then you need to report what you did and if it worked in the linux-libre
mailing list.
People might also help you in in that endeavor,
Hi,
Could you post the result of the dmesg command, after it tried to start Xorg.
Denis.
Thanks a lot, I'll try that out.
The next step is then to understand how to change the keyboard layout inside
the GRUB part that is in the MBR...
Right now the keyboard layout changes after the password is entered.

About GM45 Thinkpads (X200, R400, T400, T500):
- thinkwiki.org has their specifications. You can use the specifications to
find out which CPU is the fastest one. Note that not all models have
removable CPUs, some models have soldered CPUs.
- Replacing the CPU requires a compatible CPU, but
Hi,
For simplicity and flexibility I want /dev/sda1 as a LUKS volume, with on top
LVM, and inside the lvm the rootfs and swap.
Eliminating the separate /boot has several advantages:
- Smaller attack surface, only the MBR is in cleartext, and can later
probably be secured more easily. It

"sudo ifconfig up"
Replace "" by the interface name for your ethernet card, example: "sudo

Denis.
The fact that the problem persist in other distros is consistent with my
hypothesis.
Could you paste the output of the following commands:
- rfkill list
- dmesg
Note that the dmesg command will print the whole kernel log, and may print
some serial numbers(like your laptop serial number, the
It looks really nice.
== Small budget ==
Using milestones and a very small budget is a very interesting idea.
That way you need very few people to fund the first milestone, and if it is
successful,
you might have an easier time funding the next ones afterward.
== Crowdsupply ==
I assumed
The idea is also to document it enough, in order to decide what to do for
trisquel8 with that issue. I should document the issue on the thinkpad if I
can find the time.
Hi,
I strongly suspect some rfkill related issue.
rfkill is a Linux framework that let programs activate/deactivate the
radio(wifi, bluetooth, etc) antenna.
This is useful when, for instance, you are on an airplane and required not to
"turn off wifi/bluetooth".
I already had similar
Hi again,
Some Broadcom WiFi chips are compatible with the Openfwwf firmware.
According to http://netweb.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/index.php , theses are the:

- 4311(rev1)
- 4318 (pcmcia cards probably not supported though)
- 4320

Hi,
Many ATI GPUs now work again with more recent linux-libre, however I could
only add the GPU families that I could test.
It would be nice to have trisquel8 have decent support for radeon GPUs again.
This will not enable 3D acceleration but provide many other benefits.
Right now on system
Hi,
Thanks a lot for all the work!
Would it be possible to make a netinstall image that consists in only a
kernel image and an initramfs. Debian has such images. The goal is to be able
to install Trisquel from coreboot/libreboot with SeaBIOS and iPXE. The kernel
and initramfs also need to
> Under those circumstances, i don't expect the flashing process to become

I think this is the root of the problem: flashing theses newer laptops are
way harder that it used to be with i945 based laptop(Lenovo X60, X60s, X60T,
T60).
As I understand,
onpon4,
This is very nice. I however find the title a bit misleading. Something like
"Games licensing myths", "Game licensing misconceptions", "common mistakes
with games freedom" would suits more I think.
It would also be very nice to include references for all the claims in it.
Denis.
It seem supported only for amd64:

Some libreboot laptops would be left behind.
Is there some i386 version, or how to bootstrap i386?
Denis.
Hi,
This is very nice, OpenBSD is a very attractive BSD distribution, but it's
non-free. It's the BSD distribution I'm the most attracted to.
As for libreboot support, it should be possible to add it, just by using
coreboot with the right options, SeaBIOS, SeaVGABIOS and just installing
The fact that the ME is required to boot the computer depends on the
generation of the intel platforms.
On older platform such as GM45/GS45 it's not.
On some more recent platform it is. Code has to run and initialize things
that are required to permit code execution on the main CPU (I don't
Wifi is one thing. You can probably find some USB wifi stick compatible with
free software, such as the ones supported by the ath9k_htc driver. They have
a free firmware.
Thinkpenguin sell some. In fact they were involved in its liberation.
However how good is a board if it cannot even boot
I always have huge doubts regarding the quality/extensiveness of the effects
of "100% free" settings on non-free distros:
What guarantee me that they go as far as Trisquel and parabola with packages

I guess that they use the ebuild LICENSE, but will using the "deblob" USE

There is a huge fear about BIOS rootkits.
So until recently, the idea was that the device's BIOS had to implement, in
software, ways to make sure that only official BIOSes could be reflashed via
software.
In practice, some BIOS don't have any "protection" against reflashing, which

There might be some, depending on your use case:
- Look at the FSF high priority project lists on the fsf website, they might
have some infos on that.
- google earth uses KML
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole_Markup_Language), so take that into
account when looking for a replacement.
TOR is a trap.
I disagree.
But Tor is only part of the solution (it doesn't handle OS security for
instance).
And Tor isn't perfect either(Learn about entry guards issues).
But it's the best we have right now for that kind of tasks.
It's already been shown that some of the routers are in
So you described 3 cases:
1) Ubuntu without libreboot
2) Trisquel without libreboot
3) Trisquel with libreboot
And your goal is to resist surveillance.
Using 2 instead of 1 will raise the difficulty to get in your computer, and
that raise in difficulty might be enough or not, depending on
By the way, what will be the power consumption of this USB wifi key?
500mA? 200mA?
Because if it's low enough it could be used on phones too:

hi,
What's needed exactly for cleaning up code?
Is there a way to get the source code to help cleaning it up?
roughly: I'm not interested in testing the hardware if it doesn't work, I'm
rather interested in helping freeing the code.
I've a good background in low level/embedded software:
Maybe it's related the brand perception?
Anyway I think that newer apple computers seem to be really a pain under
GNU/Linux, for instance according to the reverse engineering needed and done
by people like Mathew Garret, so better avoid them like the plague.
In the other hand there are
Some comments:
1) with lastest coreboot, microcode seem to be optional:
CONFIG_CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_NONE=y
or:
│ │ Include CPU microcode in CBFS (Do not include microcode updates)
--- │ │
in make menuconfig...
but I'm not sure that it really doesn't get included by other means...
I must
The phones comming after are more usable(nexus one, nexus S, galaxy S,
etc...), and paulk probably has improved the htcdream with a new RIL(the
library that talks to the modem).
