How well is the HD4000 video supported in the libre kernel or xorg?
80 thousand US dollars? Or was the k a typo. I nearly did a cereal spitting
meme impression.
@Horgeon yes, all of those systems use less power. It is because they were
designed to. The true measure of performance and power consumption is work
per watt. As an example, imagine building Gentoo on 2 machines(hypothetically
both architectures are supported etc). Sure a hexa-core desktop
One thing to consider is in this form factor you're going to need good
drivers to enable all the SoC hardware acceleration features. I can see this
being something that is BiBlob only. I know the camera on my current Acer
Iconia A500(nvidia Tegra 2) has a community Android 4.0 build but we
I don't remember exactly how long it took, but it wasn't too long for me to
get the member tag. I opted for the monthly contribution plan. Keep it libre
guys.
I might give it a go, I'm still needing the latest Nouveau to get my Fermi
card to work without needing the binary drivers or at least the firmware from
them.
What's wrong with XFCE?
If you mean HURD there is an Arch and Debian release I believe. The hardware
support isn't the best though. iirc SATA and MP isn't supported.
I'm wondering if anyone is travelling to Boston for Libreplanet this year and
could either host or maybe share the costs of a hotel room. I plan on flying
in the 22nd and leaving the 27th. If I can find accomadations near the event
I won't rent a car, otherwise I will. Would like to find
I too have been waiting on the new system listed on their Chinese site for a
while too. I keep having a Chinese friend of mine peek at it to see if it
gets released.
Hell, I've already heard from the publisher themselves that the Oxford
English Dictionary 3rd Edition may not see print. I can't say what digital
format they have in mind, so no guarantee it'd be non-free but we'll have to
wait and see.
Hopefully someone would file a class action suit or a
Dunno if I'd be up for any commitments at present, but I'll take a look
around for sure
I have Stallman's hair and beard, does that count?
If you've got friends with laptops you can research the model numbers and
find one that has a compatible mini-PCIe card in it then ask them to let you
swap cards. Assuming the manufacturer hasn't locked the system to only accept
that one wireless card, it should work without an issue. I did
I know, I'm proposing you find someone you know who has a laptop or netbook
and check to see if their particular model has a wifi adapter that is libre
supported. If so, open the chassis, and swap your non-free card for their
libre card. Unless you've got mean friends who'd charge you for
In my philosophy you can't feed the starving if you hang out all day in the
Country Club.
What do you mean the migration? I'm thinking you're not using the word
migration as I expect. If you guys ever need help from a gringo, feel free
to give a shout.
They also have a half price student membership. They send you a USB card with
your member number on it, although I'm sure if you show up and say I'm
thismem...@mydomainname.com and that address is in the member list they'll
let you in.
I don't speak with any authority, I'm just guessing.
Looks like it shoulda been Balmer instead of Jobs that croaked. Bastards.
If you're a FSF Member you don't need a ticket. afaik the tickets are the
same price as a 1 year membership and include the membership so you could
just sign up for that now and be covered.
Hell, I live in Mexicali. Had I known the event was going on I'd have
attended. My Spanish isn't great, but I can understand most of it when spoken
and carry on a decent conversation on my end too.
Is the 6 September ISO a final version? I noticed it's not got the date in
the file name.
If I'm wanting to build a custom toolchain and libraries and includes on a
different path, how do I add the libraries and includes?
I tried setting the libraries in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf files but it
doesn't seem to work. Also, I'm having to manually specify where the include
files are
I think HP has a BIOS hack that will disallow any other mini PCIe cards. If
not you could look into putting a card that works out of the box without
firmware.
I remember reading somewhere which his official presences were but can't find
it atm. Was identi.ca one of them?
I can confirm that the Netgear WG111v3 works fine with Trisquel. Both the 4.0
version on my FSF usb card and the 4.5 version installed on my disk. I've
even used it for injection on other systems with a LiveDVD booting.
I wondered why when I did a mini PCIe card swap before the card didn't work.
Is this a common thing for Lenovo to do with their systems? If so I'll be
adding them to Toshiba and Sony as companies I never do business with then.
You can disable the counted checking with
tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sdX
or even at filesystem creation. The newer code base for e2fsprogs actually
switches the default to never checking based on number of mounts or time. See
the following URL for the changelog stating this.
I just used the link from Distrowatch for the 64 bit image and had no issues.
checksum matched. I'm gonna have a new OS to test on my new Intel 320 120GB
SSD...Provided I'm not one of the ones hit with the data loss bug they've
been having. Oh well, it's alpha software and Intel has vowed to
Mine works fine in 4.5 also. Picked one up at Bestbuy the other day.
If you've ever seen the german language Bert and Ernie where they do drugs,
it made me think of that and laugh my ass off too.
fwiw we don't have an off-topic subforum. Besides, a little levity goes a
long way :-D
I know, I'm not saying we should use Unity. What I'm saying is they make a
valid point in that people are coming to expect something other than
Microsoft's UI. Between Apple's iOS and Android and even Blackberry and
Symbian, a lot of people might be wooed if we give them a familiar
Yea, it is pretty sad. I'm American, but I live in Mexico. My girlfriend goes
to UABC here. The teachers require work to be in .doc .xls and .ppt
The funny thing is, I don't even think the teachers have legitimate copies of
MS Office. It's all pirated. Their ignorance has them not only using
Sounds like getting the Debian 64 bit 38.x kernel will be the easiest for me.
I'm off to read Gdebi man page to give it a go.
I know, but the addition of Hey buddy, don't copy that floppy(copy ours!)
makes it awesome.
While their engines aren't free software, Paradox Interactive's games, at
least the grand strategy ones I play have nearly all of their data in text or
LUA text files. It's created a huge modding community where they often fix
and find bugs. I hope one day they'll actually move to make the
Does it have persistence, or should I just wipe it and use the Universal USB
tool to make it a 4.5 bootable?
Any recommendations on a secure irc client for Android? I really want to
start trying to liberate tablets, though that's gonna be tough given how
married the OS needs to be to the specialized hardware. They're not commodity
components like PCs.
Just got my FSF bootable card in the mail, they didn't send it the first time
around, tried Trisquel out and it looked alright. Glad to join you guys. I'm
an American disabled veteran and expatriate living in Baja California Norte.
I am passable at Spanish and of course English is my mother
I've got SLI 470s on my desktop and didn't notice anything odd during the
hour or so I poked around on a Live environment. Once I finish the download
of the ISO I'll let you know if I have a similar issue.
Just wanted to jump on and say hello to everyone, I didn't see any other
subforums other than the other languages, so I put my into here.
