HKR has many great and important points!
I used to participate on another GNU/Linux distro earlier, which was even
smaller than Trisquel and a one-leader-project.
My participation was mainly hanging on the forum and helping people out with
their issues, but I also did some packages
The GRUB Background on i686 CD still says Trisquel 6 ;)

450MHz will do just fine with software less sucky. Such software ain't that
well known, though, finding and using them requires some dedication and
willing to take an extra mile.
I have a 500MHz @ 192MB which will run netsurf / midori (web), sylpheed

If you decide to replace the internal WiFi, take a lot of patience and do NOT
use the force. Sometimes you can find a hardware maintenance manual for your
laptop, giving you step-by-step instructions for taking it apart (and
replacing the WiFi). If you cant, well, some laptops have it placed
Seems to me that trisquel didn't correctly detect your graphics card or
screen resolution. If you see the trisquel boot menu, maybe you can try
different resolutions. I don't know if this bypasses X11 autodetection, but
it might be worth a shot.
If anyone knows a way to prevent x11
Eem.
I don't quite know, mate. For those people who are in the field and heard of
cryptocurrencies, those coins seems like either a threat or hope. Either way,
it's part of the revolution which will not be televized.
cryptocoins are here to stay, because it's an invention that can't be
Hello fellow Finnish trisquel users! I just wanted to call your attention to
this event, happening in Feb 11 in Helsinki. If anyone is interested to see,
hear, buy an arodable GNU or just see fellow trisquel users, how about we get
together and go there as a group?
Good thoughts fellows. I'd like to contribute something. I'm already sorry
for a lenghty answer, but I hope it give some insight.
a Previous thread here shows that many of us have switched to free software
step-by-step, many small steps after another, so I'd suggest using that
strategy.

This topic has been addressed quite a few times even here, but to remind you.
The first thing is, when most people hear the word Free, they interpret it
as gratis. How ever, we the free software movement fellows interpret and
use the word to mean Freedom respecting. It's the language. If you
I don't really see the idea of forcing people to Free(libre) Software. Just
stand at your cause and in your community. if you're asked about FS, tell
them why it matters to you. They either take it or ignore it, but you can't
change them unless they want to.
and when it comes to privacy, I
I'm not pro nor a guru here, but here's my 50 cents.
1. $ startx: command not found
This means you don't have xinit / xauth programs available. (re)Install them
and the message should change.
2. Your xorg error log suggests you don't have xfonts-base installed either,
which would provide
to start your own service (or server), you obviously need a computer.
Basically any computer will do, which works even acceptably on free software.
The network interface is the most crucial part, and you need a way to control
that computer. This means, that just about any computer will do.
I can't less care about those two guys. It's all about convenience and
profitability. The show and I don't share the same values, so why should I
pay any interest on it?

I think it's not wrong to decide not to share, but it's wrong to prohibit
others from doing so. To me, writing a proprietary software is a tradeoff
between profit (be it money, power or whatever) and trust. I can't trust

Welcome to the forum, OP. According to your HP.. if you get it to boot from
the CD/USB without shutdown then good. Otherwise, have you checked if it's an
overheating problem? I've fixed a lot of pavilions heating and shutting down
quickly after boot. First aid would be to turn it off and use
I've been working on connos since 2008 and yes, I can see the kernel firmware

about non-free software and load it (if the user first load it), instead of
blindly refusing to function. However FSF endorsement isn't a
I've downloaded my music from Jamendo or ccmixter and the records I get from
the local record store. I've got just about 50 vinyls and almost 20 CD's. I
don't care about the amount, why would I even want to own crappy music in the
first place?
I have my vinyls as FLAC's on the computer,
How important are visually impaled persons? Is it a priority to be able to
fully control your computer without actually seeing the screen? How usable
are these different windowing systems?
Yes, I would be interessed. On technical side it seems to require a lot of
know-how, and on legal side.. well, I am not aware of the issues there but I
can guess there is something like data retension laws or log keeping. Have

I don't like the way some GNU/Kinux distros are fading the importance of cli
away. I need to learn git and emacs in order to further a project I volunteer
in. Also, small, embedded computers like routers etc. are more than often
CLI-only, which is an effective way of thinking and do
Stallman is mentioning trisquel during his speeches, so yes, FSF is
supporting. I think advocacy is very important support for any distro out
there. It'll bring intrested and hopefully donating volunteers. any donation
should be valuable, be it time, development or money.
Wow, Matti!
I will read your thesis through (I'm Finnish) when I will have enough time.
At the moment I'm busy writing my own on mesh networking, and I try to lump
in something about the FNF and folks there :)
Your grade surely tells me it must be worth reading. I think you should be

I'm glad to speak two such languages which makes the difference between free
software and free software (Finnish and Esperanto). In English, I talk about
libre software or ethical software, describe Free Software, and if the
listener asks oh you mean GNU, GPL and free software?, I nod a yes.
RMS also gave a short speech, where he raised many worrying issues including:
Raspberry Pi:
The system requires a non-free blob, and the computer cannot be booted using
only free software. not to blame the Raspberry Pi project, but it's getting
harder and harder to be able to replace these
Here's the acrobatics I use from time to time. It requires no CD's, no USB's.

Hmm, so all you get is exit error 141, nothing more? I can't say much
because I don't know anything about the installer internals and the message
doesn't tell which program failed.

you could also use apt-get -d install (package) to make it just download
required stuff. Then do the same without -d to actually install packages from

I think your message is a starting point and written well because:
-you point out issues
-you tell to whom and how does maintainers decisions affect on potential
visitors
-you give suggestions to fix them.

-It affects also other communities than the Free Software
Hey all.
Today I found out that these (official?) trisquel mirrors are not responding
to, neither apt or even a browser.

Have the addresses changed, or are they just down for maintenance?
If it isn't just a user error, I think
For the time being, a workaround would be to just use:
http://ftp.rediris.es/mirror/Trisquel/packages/
http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/
as repositories. both should have -updates and -security too.
You might wanna try putting options floppy floppy=nodma to your

That solved a variety of weird problems for me.
i sometimes find useful to create a usr and var -folders in a separate
partition with plenty of space, copy them from the original system partition
and finally bind-mount these new folders.
in fstab:
/dev/sda# /mnt/hd 0 0
/mnt/hd/usr /usr none bind
if bind-mounting fail for any reason,
What I used to do was download the .deb, type dpkg -i package.deb and if it
fails, I'd aptitude it's dependencies. apt-get -f install or --fix-missing
might also do the trick,
but if you have a more sophisticated way in mind, please share it:)
I was thinking about switching to Arch
Well
I am basically all set to work on creating open source programs to
control scientific instruments
I'd love to see such Free Software programs too ;)
