Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
This worked. Thanks so much! I've been very impressed by the responsiveness of this community.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
*facepalm* Do as jxself says. I don't know how I missed this solution.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
That's not necessary, and improper because it's being done behind the package manager's back so it'll never get updates. The proper way is to use the package manager to install the package called open-ath9k-htc-firmware.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
Do you have htc_9271.fw in your /lib/firmware folder? If not, see if you can copy it from the live system on the USB drive to the /lib/firmware folder on your ThinkPad.
[Trisquel-users] Trisquel not detecting ThinkPenguin wifi adapter after install
I recently installed Trisquel on my ThinkPad x60. Since the wifi card is nonfree and will not work with Trisquel, I got a USB wifi adapter from ThinkPenguin. I tested it while running Trisquel from a USB drive without installing, and Trisquel recognized the device immediately and I was able to connect to wifi no problem. However, after installation Trisquel no longer detects the device and I cannot use wifi. While booting, a "free firmware not found" error repeats for several minutes that from looking at past threads appears to refer to the wifi card, so perhaps that is related. Is there something additional I need to do after installation so that the USB adapter works as it did while running live from USB drive? Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] non-graphical installer installed kubuntu instead of Trisquel
Fixed. Thanks everyone for your help! I'm now having another issue with detection of my wifi adapter. Since it's unrelated to my initial problem I'm starting a new thread. If 1 topic/thread isn't protocol for this forum let me know and I'll stop doing it.

At the login screen, isn't there a way to select another session? An icon after you select or type your user name maybe?
Re: [Trisquel-users] non-graphical installer installed kubuntu instead of Trisquel
I deselected "triskel," selected "trisquel," ran, and restarted my computer. The login screen was different, but after logging in everything else is still kubuntu/KDE Plasma. Is there another step? Thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] non-graphical installer installed kubuntu instead of Trisquel
Thank you! So it's because I selected "Triskel desktop environment?" Would selecting "Trisquel desktop environment" have given me what I was using when I tried out Trisquel from a USB drive before deciding to install? Will installing GNOME and removing KDE give me exactly the same result as if I were to start over and select the correct option?
Re: [Trisquel-users] non-graphical installer installed kubuntu instead of Trisquel
Maybe you installed 'triskel desktop' instead of 'trisquel desktop'. You can select the right desktop via tasksel. $ sudo tasksel
[Trisquel-users] Re : non-graphical installer installed kubuntu instead of Trisquel
Happened to me once ...it's when you whent for Install : Trisquel Desktop Environnement https://trisquel.info/files/25_Trisquel_Netinstall.png Update your system via Synaptic Package Manager, or via the terminal $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade After you can install any other Desktop you wish Xfce, LXDE, Gnome if you wish..you can also remove KDE ( Triskel KDE) once you have installed your other desktop (+ make sure you have Trisquel-base-recommended & Trisquel-common-recommended) Should be pretty fine with that ;-)
[Trisquel-users] non-graphical installer installed kubuntu instead of Trisquel
It was suggested in a previous thread that I use the text installer because the graphical installer kept crashing. The text installer did not crash, but when the installation was complete and I rebooted it appeared to have installed kubuntu instead of Trisquel, so apparently I did something horribly wrong within the text installer. Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Random disconnects
I checked /var/log/syslog This just happened like 40-50 minutes after startup: Jul 8 03:17:01 desktop1 CRON[2390]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) Jul 8 03:24:42 desktop1 avahi-daemon[889]: Withdrawing address record for 192.168.1.242 on eno1.

> It's the only way to download most music videos (and probably movies). How could you live without Guns 'n' Roses' "November Rain"? says Soon.to.be.Free - without a hint of irony - how noble you are to raise the ethical concerns of executing a little javascript that you do not have a license for - while you download a copyrighted music video ripping off your favorite band - sorry, i am not impressed :(
Re: [Trisquel-users] installation help
Thanks for your response. I'm trying the text installer, and it seems to want to download the installer components from a mirror. Because my wifi card is proprietary, I need to use my external wifi adapter to access the internet. While Trisquel had no problem detecting it automatically when I used the graphical installer, the text installer seems to only detect the Intel hardware for eth0 and wlan0. Even if the Intel ethernet controller would work, I'm not set up for ethernet right now so I'd prefer to use wifi if internet access is required at all. Is there a way to use the text installer without connecting to the internet? It did not appear that the graphical installer required internet access, and I was under the impression that the installer components were on the USB drive. I'm new to this, so I likely misunderstand many things.

Free GNU/Linux distributions are here ( https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html ). BLAG, Dragora, Dynebolic, gNewSense, Guix SD, Musix, Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, Trisquel and Ututo. The list also includes small distributions: libreCMC and ProteanOS.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A Liberated Version of Youtube-DL is Almost Here!
That looks fantastic! I agree with you, as cool as Youtube-DL is - the terminal keeps a lot of people away from it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Random disconnects
I forgot to mention, I can easily re-connect by disable and then re-enable the connection from the manager.
[Trisquel-users] Random disconnects
I've been testing Trisquel 8 Alpha for a couple of days and everything seemed fine until yesterday when I got disconnected from the Internet (and it keep happening from time to time - could be hours between them). Maybe not a big deal, but the reason why I'm pointing this out is because this issue seems to be present in many other distributions as well, but the issue wasn't there in Trisquel 6 and I've been using another distribution for almost 2 years now without this issue. It doesn't seem to be my network cards and I even tried another one (and that one even included a CD with free drivers, released under GPL3). (it's a wired connection btw)
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: installation help
Try non-graphical installation, text mode is better.
