I've had the same problem in the past-- updating the kernel did the trick.
You should give it a shot:

[Trisquel-users] Lethargic application

2016-06-06 Thread Paul A. Crable
Executing the Synaptic Package Manager, which I get via the System
Settings item on the main menu, involves waiting for a long time before
it has finished initializing and returns control to me.  It's in the
range of 30 seconds.  It's connecting to the Internet so determining
why this is the case would be difficult.  But it is consistent; it
happens every time in invoke the program.

I have accessed the Package Manager using a Nusence distribution on the
same device with very little delay.

Any ideas?

Paul

[Trisquel-users] Stuttering keyboard

2016-06-06 Thread Paul A. Crable
A few days ago I installed your latest version and have been playing
with it ever since.  I have noticed that there is a notable 
delay between typing a string and it appearing on the screen.  I also
notice that a character gets dropped once in a while.  The delay is
such that I'm finding it hard to keep my enthusiasm up.  Is there a
fix for this?

I am running on an Intel microprocessor-based PC.  The problem did not
occur when I was using version 5.0_i686, which I acquired on
12/7/2011.  It has never ocurred on any other GNU/Linux system I have
used.

I will submit a problem report if you wish.

AFAIK Uruk is a deblobbed Ubuntu with the MATE DE. If it is too much  
demanding on your CPU there is something wrong either with your particular  
hardware or with the OS itself.

quick tip, until they make a lightweight version, do not use this on  
libreboot, (too much demand on cpu. and that's with 8gb ram.)

Distro releases, technology, and innovation honestly don't have much to do  
with each other anyway so.. (besides, the innovation would've arrived in  
Arch before it does to any fixed-release distro that tries to 'innovate').

I know what you are trying to say. You felt like you had to be vocal about  
something that has been pretty standard with Trisquel the past few years.  
Judging from the age of your forum account, you may want to do more research  
before you accuse others and assume you are correct.


I think you are misunderstood about what a Snap package is. It is sandboxed  
software with all of its dependencies included and is updated more frequently  
as updates are pushed by the developer.

Hope I am not being too persistent with my questions, but what hardware did  
you use to run LBSD?
Is there any security difference between a standard Trisquel installation and  
a standard LBSD installation (in your opinion, from your experience)?


Yeah, wish I could cough up some $$$ and get a couple more machines to play  
around with :) but it's just a fun hobby, hardly a necessity. Right now I

We know it "fails the test". You are not listening to us or the people on the  
Github page you linked us to. It is not a problem with GCC but something  
else. GCC 4.9 won't help.

For all the trouble it is just compile G++ 4.9 yourself or use the PPA!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel is about ethics not technology or innovation

2016-06-06 Thread mcz

It's about getting the newest cool toy, it's very human.
But among people who actually get the job done, they sometimes work with very  
archaic/simple tools and methods.


So it's a fact that Trisquel will always be a bit late.
But at least you know what's in there, and why it matters to you. Plus the  
programs who need a more regular update are taken care of, if I'm not  
mistaken.
I probably misunderstand the difference between an update and getting the  
next version.


But my point is, once you got the tool that fits your needs, don't focus so  
much on it, just use it for your goals. That's why it's useful, and not a  
time waster/diversion.


Trisquel isn't perfect, but it's pretty solid, and does that while respecting  
the user.


Re: [Trisquel-users] netinstall; first timer's question

So I'd have to edit my .Xinitrc every time I want to switch.
But at this point, installing LightDM or similar would be easier.

Hey thanks for the link, it makes me think I need to comment my .xinitrc file  
(and others).

This helps understand what happens.

It makes me think that I want to write a startup installation script, just  
like Crunchbang had (has, I think it still exist with a new name).

But I'm not completely done building the system that fits my needs.
Hopefully it won't take me too much time anymore.

2016-06-06 Thread enduzzer
I started the system without the virtual manager and now it defaults to  
1024x768 which fits the screen. There is an issue presumably caused by the  
motif decorations that won't allow the virtual machine full-screen properly.


Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone using LibertyBSD? How does it compare to Trisquel?

Thanks!

xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768

It works, but the Virtual manager gets garbage it I change the default  
1280x768. QEMU-kvm issue. Good to know if I ever try on hardware. LibertyBSD  
looks interesting. And I thought CDE was old school!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Laptop too hot - CPU (almost) always at 100%

2016-06-06 Thread t8mf4nu6lizp

So this is a "suspend/hibernate/whatever" bug.

The default kernel comes with a ton of drivers. Many of these will be as  
removable modules and not baked in. (And for many devices having a driver  
active means they will be powered on.)


You could induce the 100% cpu condition and then lsmod to see what modules  
there are and then try removing (rmmod) those one by one to see if you can  
find the culprit that way. If you do, then add the offending module back  
(modprobe) and see if the condition persists or not. If not, then you could  
modify the "suspend/hibernate/whatever" scripts to do the module un/loading  
for you.
