> without LibreJS ... there's no edit button
That's strange. I was expecting it be because of LibreJS, not the lack of it
(for some strange reason the Trisquel site does not support LibreJS, even
though the JavaScript is free and (should?) be tagged properly). There should
be an edit button. Oh
Oh.

This doesn't happen in MS Word 2013 and above. Even in the versions before
that, the 'corrupted data', 'unrecoverable data' and 'compatibility issues'
notifications are simply designed to scare people into using Microsoft's
secret .doc
woho thanks!! In € so it's europe, right what I needed.
Just use the DNS your ISP provides; there generally isn't a major advantage
to using any others.
I do wonder, though: is there a public DNS that one could use if the
ISP-provided DNS is down? Wondering because that's happened to us before.
Tried that when installing elementary with dual boot (win7) but couldn't
workout with it. It creates a sdaX which I can't modify or partition inside
to have root etc. So it gave me error. I'll try later after getting some free
space just to experiment on it. it would look like

Ah I see!! My bad then. I had the issue on university wifi only. I checked
current connection detail and it is same number as my router's. So any
specific DNS server recommended? I guess it's up to isp so far. I need to set
either in the router or config. I see. Thanks :)
The edit button disappears after a while, or after someone has replied to the
post.
You can set that in the router settings. Just search for an entry on DNS. You
can also edit /etc/resolv.conf
add:
nameserver 95.85.9.86
nameserver 151.236.29.92
save and restart network or computer.
cheers
I connect to the nets always through the VPN and use my VPN provider's DNS
server now. In the past I used Openic and in particular these two:
95.85.9.86
151.236.29.92
Very responsive and fast. I live in Italy and these two gave me better
performance than my ISP's DNS servers..
And, besides,
how do you change your DNS provider?
Thanks for the repply! I'm with icecat (not on trisquel though, need wifi
adapter first) without LibreJS (couldn't see clearly most websites) and

Saw the desktop, looks fantastic! Something I really enjoy on these OS types,

I'll have to use a software called GABI (Life cycle assessment) which only
works on windows. I could try wine I guess? Or wine is not open and free
software? Otherwise, I

what do you mean exactly? The DNS server your system will use does not depend
on the browser. You will have to set it either by file config or directly in
the router settings.
Yeah. Here's one more choice for you! :)

I don't know the technical details, but each user's directory in /home is
individually encrypted. I don't think it has anything to do with the

It will not run on free software. You can get a new internal card relatively
cheap but your computer might reject it. Or you could get an external usb

Does anyone know how home directory encryption works in Trisquel? In my case, I
set up my partitions manually in netinstall. I have one partition for root
(formatted with ext4) in /dev/sda1 taking up 490GB. I then have one swap
partition in /dev/sda2 taking up the rest. I selected 'encrypt home

You can edit the post by hitting the deceptively titled 'edit' button. Unless
you're using LibreJS, that is (which for some reason Trisquel, of all sites,
does not support).

Trust me- privacy under Windows is definitely a real concern. Read this:

real. Depends how much of an interesting target you are for an attacker.
Spyware and adware are the most common form of malware (they are everywhere
on the average joe computers..) but they are fortunately tied to
One thing to note about resizing partitions: I'm pretty sure Trisquel uses
XFS for /home by default. XFS has some advantages over ext4, but it has a
disadvantage in that you normally can't reduce it in size. So if you want to
make sure you can resize it, you should set up your partitions
