How free are YOU !

[MooPi]

I was just perusing through synaptic investigating gnome shell components and unity dependencies when I stumbled across "vrms". It is a terminal application that displays what non-free applications are installed on your computer. Curoius as to what my level of non-free apps included , I installed . I think this is quite free for an Ubuntu desktop. I didn't even know I'd installed unrar.

[NightwishFan]

Only Skype and Opera for me, also my system runs on 100% open source drivers. :)

[wojox]

vrms (Virtual Richard M. Stallman) is a program that analyzes the set of currently-installed packages on a Debian-based system, and reports all of the packages from the non-free tree which are currently installed. :P

That's hilarious. I'm going to have to look in AUR for that.

[Sean Moran]

Lucky VRMS was only a 12.4kb downlooad, because it wasn't installled on my slimline Karmic distro, but after a few seconds, I ran it, and this is what it told me:

Thanks for teaching me something new on this late Saturday night.

[MooPi]

Happy to oblige. I only have Team Viewer because I have a friend who lives quite a distance away and it's about the best way to help with his computer issues.

[forrestcupp]

I wish they would port that to Windows. :)

I wish they would port that to Windows. :)
It would run all day and burn the computer to pieces looking for that one free tidbit :) :D:? :lol:

[Sean Moran]

It would run all day and burn the computer to pieces looking for that one free tidbit :) :D:? :lol:
If there was a script I could download that would remove all those useless .dlls in the \windows\system directory from my memory, and stop my mind from burning to pieces for reasons withiout purpose, I'd like to know the word/s to add to the apt-get command.

Seriously, that vmrs command is wonderful. Thanks mate. I haven't yet re-installed a standard Ubuntu distro to see, but I don't remember removing it from this little distro, and it's only 12.9 (not 12.4 my mistake) kB to include, so I'll make sure vrms gets an inclusion in all my custom distros in future. What is the difference between 292.6 Mb and 292.62 Mb?

VirtualBox 4.0 and Conky aren't free, even though I have the source code of conky-1.8.1 sitting on my computer and VirtualBox 4.0 is licensed under the GPL. That's great. Maybe it's the extension pack I installed in VBox that made it 'non-free...' (and if that's true then I dunno)

And I see it missed some other proprietary apps on my PC (VMWare Player, World of Goo, Illumination Software Creator, Skype, Google Earth.) Awesome, it failed to catch EVERYTHING :roll:

[Spice Weasel]

Only the unbranded version of Virtualbox is free. You're using the oracle version.

The unbranded version is missing a few features. (I think USB support?)

so 0.3% of my packages are non free.... i do make an effort to use the free. but .3% of the time there is no suitable alternative.

opera : i think is the best browser available
virtualbox : i work in a computer store and have to make windows images
picasa : yeah i could use the web based but it just wasn't smooth.

video encoding : alot of times im asked to convert weddings and birthdays and junk to a nice neat DVD with chapters and trim the drunk uncle, this and that. - stuff comes in lots of different formats

flash : i would love for flash to die but honestly flash 10 supports some pretty nice stuff. gnash just doesn't do it all.

Also, here's my vrms (slightly paraphrased):
"You have too many proprietary / non-free elements in your computer that actually make it usable. Remove them immediately or RMS will show up at your home / gathering / other and berate you / pick things off his body and eat them until you DO remove all proprietary / non-free elements.

Remember, only the freedom RMS dictates is what matters. Actually being able to use your computer is really far down the list."

Ditto. I commend the FOSS community for it's beliefs, but I don't stand by them. I got into Linux because of the failures of Microsoft (Vista), and I like it, but I also want a computer that just works, and doesn't have issues. If I can't look at the source code for an application then so be it, as long as it works, and I have a need for it, then I'll use it.

I'm more free than all of you!

Why? Because I don't care whether my software is free is or not. I don't care if I use proprietary drivers, and I don't care what the open source movement thinks of me for not caring.

So basically, I'm free of that annoying conscious-like voice telling me to remove software I like, just because its not free. :P

I've tried it just out of curiosity.
Found 4 or 5 things, I was expecting more actually. However, it didn't detect MATLAB, so it doesn't work very well.

I don't really see the point of this besides curiosity. If you are worried about software freedom just run gNewSense. ;)

I don't really see the point of this besides curiosity.

I was only curious to begin with, but I'm still curious, because vrms is missing several packages I know to be nonfree, including anything installed from Canonical partners. I certainly wouldn't take vrms seriously, one way or the other.

So what are we saying here? I'll never be persuaded to pay for any of this malarkey using money, barter or exchange. So it's in the free beer category at least. And, am I not at least as free as a young goose that has been 'imprinted' on someone that owns a microlite, and will guide me to the main flock as it migrates in the autumn? :D
