Anyone here using ownCloud? I set it up on my personal webspace this
week-end, in the hope of getting rid of Google for good. It's a promising
idea but the product still seems buggy and unfinished. I was mostly
interested in the Calendar, Bookmarks and Contact apps but they all have

Although I am a big free software supporter, I have to admit that the term
itself just doesn't work. 99% of the population equates it with freeware,
software available at no cost, and who could blame them. You cannot search
for it in a search engine without being swamped by results pertaini
I agree with marioger. A thank you note would cost nothing and would be
nice. I became a member beginning of 2012 and as of today I haven't received
anything, save for a subscription to the trisquel-members mailing list.
Maybe the Trisquel USB key is in the mail - I have no way of knowing.
Purchase a freedom-compatible card, or a USB dongle. You can find such
things on thinkpenguin.com for instance (the owner - Chris - is a regular on
this board, just ask him), on eBay (if you know exactly what to look for),
other places as well I guess...
Narrow down on the few lines that are about the wireless card. You'll have
to type them here, but there won't be much :)).
This link may help you:

It is unfortunately possible that your wireless card may require non-free
firmware to work. Should that be the case, it wouldn't work with Trisquel
which is based on the Linux-libre kernel.
Can you run lspci in a terminal and post the result here so that we can
understand which wireless ca
Good to know - I was also looking for some alternatives to skype (ekiga never
worked for me) and dropbox-like sites. Merci la banane magique ;).
A pretty worthless blog post if you ask me. The guy just describes some
characteristics of the distros. No comparisons, no analysis. No rational
for the ranking. Did I miss something? gNewSense #1? You gotta be kidding
- the thing hasn't been updated in ages (its status on distrowatch :
Or a compatible card (from ThinkPenguin, or eBay...).
Thanks Chris for the information about wifi cards.
Any reason why Thunderbird's version in Trisquel's dagda repository is
3.1.16, when the latest version is 9.0.1 ? I understand that we cannot
provide the latest version of each software, but Thunderbird/Firefox seems to
be a special case (Trisquel already provides the latest version of Abrow
Good news as far as the graphics card is concerned then :). But the concern
about the wireless card is worrisome :( - hadn't thought about that...
As this specific model isn't listed on h-node, I wonder if anyone here can
answer that question. The netbook I'm talking about is this one:
Acer Aspire One AOD257-1679 LU.SFV0D.046 Netbook - Intel Atom N570 1.66GHz,
1GB DDR3, 250GB HDD, 10.1" WSVGA, 6-Cell

How hard would it be reverse-engineer this infamous binary blob? Is it
technically feasible by someone from the free software community, or almost
impossible from a technical point of view? Does the community have all the
necessary tools / knowledge / etc... or do we lack crucial informatio
I hadn't heard about that. Great news! Is there a list somewhere of the
graphics chipsets whose specs have been released? What about Radeon HD4200
for instance (my card, for which I don't have 3D acceleration with Trisquel).
Is there any hope that I will have 3D acceleration with this car
As far as I am concerned, Brasero is worthless. Use k3b instead.
One of my posts was blocked a few days ago. Looks like it disappeared into a
black hole :'(.
This company sells freedom-compatible hardware with Trisquel pre-installed.
Thought it would be interesting to share.

Do you know of any other?
I'm sure you meant the following for point #3 :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
And it does work :). Actually I finally settled on
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
because it was a bit too verbose for my taste when 'not quiet'.
Thanks for the help.
Hello Magic Banana,
I have the exact same problem than the original poster and would like to
replace the ugly (because of my ATI card) boot splash by textual boot
information (as described in your startupmanager link). I could even live
with completely hiding it - anything but staring at t
http://www.gnewbook.org/ might be what you're looking for. I haven't tried
it so I don't know if it's good or not, but at least the principles seem to
be sound.
I believe that Mint 11, another Ubuntu derivative, will follow the same path
(gnome3 without the shell).
OK, so there IS supposed to be a boot splash. Hmm... Maybe I will install
Slaine on my wife's HP laptop (without telling her of course, ha ha). It has
an Intel graphics card so I will probably see what I am missing. I purchased
my desktop with its ATI card before I became aware of the who
I have a whole bunch of rapidly scrolling messages at shutdown. Quite
annoying. Where can I find them so that I can try to understand what's going
on? /var/log/messages? Anywhere else?
Thanks.
In 4.5 I only see 'Trisquel 4.5' and four dots in the middle of the screen.
What happened to the nice Trisquel logo? Has it been removed or should it be
there and its absence could possibly be related to my ATI graphics card?
I also have an annoying 'Cannot reserve MMIO region' message righ
The new version of the add-on solved the problem :). Thanks guys!
Not a single YouTube video works for me with 4,5 :(. It worked fine in 4.0,
the only thing I had to do for that as far as I remember was to set the
FlashVideoReplacer quality to HIGH. No such luck with 4.5... Is anyone able
to see anything coming form YouTube?? Did you do anything special
Congratulations and thanks for the hard work! Looking forward to installing
it :).
Linux Mint (whose philosophy with regards to Software Freedom is completely
on the opposite side of the spectrum than ours by the way) is based on
Ubuntu, but now also provides a Debian-based version : LMDE. It's based on
Debian Testing, and from what I understand, is supposed to provide the
OK, everything works fine now :). Looks like I made a typo on the client
side when typing the printer's name... Stupid mistake... Will be more
careful in the future... Thanks everyone for your help.
Hi,
Yes, reinstalling was probably overkill, but I just wanted to make sure that
I was working on a 100% clean install. The result? The client still cannot
see the printer :(. I also upgraded to Slaine, and there was no improvement.
The simple printer sharing procedure (see below) that
Thanks, but this is exactly what's not working. But see my message above, I
may have borked my install by trying too hard :). Will try again on a brand
new install...
Thanks again to all who responded. Will let you know if the situation
improves or not.
In Mint and I presume Ubuntu, I discovered that it's actually very
straightforward : install printer; share it ('Publish shared printers
connected to this system' in System -> Administration -> Printing / Server ->
Settings ; make sure Enabled and Shared are checked in the printer's
Propert
Sharing works with Linux Mint 10, which is based on Ubuntu 10.10. It also
works fine with openSUSE 11.3. Maybe something was broken in Ubuntu 10.04
(on which Trisquel 4.0 is based) and has been fixed since. Will try again
when Trisquel 4.5 is out (very soon I guess?). As for now, I give u
Hello,
An HP printer is attached to my desktop running Trisquel Taranis. I am able
