Thank you Magic Banana for the explanation, good to know. After Installation the same problem persists. GRUB menu displays for 3 seconds, then text flashes fast scroll and screen goes blank computer freeze where reset doesn't work and the physical electrical power has to be interrupted to return. What procedure do you suggest next?
Re: [Trisquel-users] What service do you recommend to replace OpenMailBox
I am even more of a mess. I have a grandfathered riseup account that I used before I retired from activism. I should close it down. I don't give it out, but if anyone who knows it ever uses it, I'll know it's an emergency and they really do need to get ahold of me. OMB is abandoned. I don't care. The "free trial of premium" or the "application password" or some crumb or other worked long enough for me to pack my toys and go home to my hard drive. I now have Posteo and some inexpensive add-on aliases for general use. Needed one for minor kid's geekery that was separate from anything that would be used for anything even remotely to do with shopping. We chose teknik and will donate as generously as feasible. The voluntary donations are, of course, the real solution to "service sustainability" but all we can do is all we can do.

Again: /dev/sda is a disk, whereas /dev/sda1 is a partition. They are both files because basically everything is a file in GNU/Linux, even a disk or a partition. When the installer says the bootloader will be installed on /dev/sda, it actually means in /dev/sda's MBR (Master Boot Record): half a kilobyte at the beginning of the disk, before any partition. Please define now a partition for /home. Not that it is impossible to do so later (editing /etc/fstab)... but, well, it is the same situation as for the installation of the bootloader: it will be faster to ask you to reinstall than to explain fstab's format (type 'man fstab' in a terminal if you really want to know).

Re: [Trisquel-users] 13Aug2017 buy Trisquel laptop
The problem is within the UEFI proprietary BIOS and perhaps other firmware as well. The best solution is what you have already done: support the work of the people who built your Taurinus for you, both financially and by spreading the word that there are alternatives to accepting this soul sucking nonsense. In the future, we all may have more options if everybody was able to do what you just did. Thank you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 13Aug2017 buy Trisquel laptop
Hi Magic Banana, I looked at the sda1 from Gparted and was surprised - Gparted doesn't list a sda, so the feature is on the install script, I guess. Okay, I will run install and accept the boot default. I may allow the install "something else" optional script to also place the /home directory so that HOPEFULLY it will work and then, later, we can change the user's partition to a larger size after we confirm Trisquel boots successfully. Cheers!
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel drivers for the ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card
According to Chris: There appears to be no difference in performance between including the non-free bits and not including the non-free bits. Our conclusion of a performance difference was partly wrong. The older chips appear to be outperforming the Skylake chips for some reason. This might be due to lack of full support for Skylake with the latest kernels or the need for a newer version of X than what we have installed. https://trisquel.info/forum/skylake-desktop-graphics-test-results I actually have a Kabylake processor. I had no problem installing Trisquel 7. I then directly installed the latest kernel from https://jxself.org/linux-libre/ (because I was pretty sure the support for Kabylake improved). Well, I can play Hedgewars with no problem... :-)
[Trisquel-users] Re : 13Aug2017 buy Trisquel laptop
The default "device for bootloader installation" is /dev/sda (the first disk; GRUB is then installed in its MBR) not /dev/sda1 (the first partition of the first disk). But, if at the boot, GRUB shows up, then it should be OK... unless it is the GRUB installed in one of your previous tries. Probably installed in /dev/sda's MBR. No error message after you choose Trisquel in GRUB's menu? GRUB can be (re)installed. But it is simpler to tell you "reinstall Trisquel and specify let /dev/sda as the "device for bootloader installation". As far as I understand, /dev/sdb1 is the root partition and you put /home on another disk, right? You need a /home partition (otherwise you would have 24 GB for both the system and the user data). In the screenshot, you ask about the "Volume name". It actually is a number of 32 hexadecimal digits. It identifies the partition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier
Re: [Trisquel-users] free PDA running JMP
This is promising! I'm pretty sure you're right that the dts files are false positives, and the precomputed constants seem to have good reason to be there too. Hopefully that means the kernel shouldn't be too much more work... which would just leave the other two programs you listed initially. I'll see if there's any license information floating around for those two.

Re: [Trisquel-users] customizing trisquel.
It's based on Devuan (Debian fork without systemd) and the target audience seems to be more tech savvy than TAILS'. I thought it was a bit much for my Journalist daughter, but if you are posting on the Trisquel boards, it's probably right up your alley and nothing you can't handle.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Uruk GNU/Linux 2.0 (Beta1)
That was what impressed me about the alpha. I don't know what I was expecting, but I wound up giving my DVD to the daughter who had never used Gnu/Linux instead of the daughter who was getting "nice fresh .isos just like mama used to burn!" in her care package. The final LTS release is seriously going to be my go-to recommendation for new people if you guys keep this up. ;) This is a very special project. It's been an honour to "know" Ali through the Trisquel project and then to see Uruk come to fruition. That you kids would choose to use the calms in the storm in this manner restores my own faith that human nature is not intrinsically evil and that there is hope that life could still turn out to be something beautiful.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel drivers for the ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card
Ok. I have an Nvidia graphics card on my desktop, but I haven't installed Trisquel on it yet. I'll check and see if nouveau works with it when I do. Re. the 'artifacts': I'm starting to dislike Gnome in general, tbh. There is a Java application I use that doesn't run at all well in Gnome with openJDK. I've been using Lxde on my laptop and it's great! Lightweight, simple and effective :D
Re: [Trisquel-users] 13Aug2017 buy Trisquel laptop
ok, I followed your advice, the boot is default /dev/sda1 When GRUB 2.02 menu is up and I select Trisquel the screen goes blank and the computer pwr freeze (I have to disrupt power supply then turn power back on)... USB shows me that Trisquel is partitioned(23.76GB) /dev/sdb1 the home gui allows me to mount it but what do I do now? How can I get my computer to boot to Trisquel? Is there anything you want me to share with you, a image perhaps or text from the terminal?
Re: [Trisquel-users] free PDA running JMP
I might have figured it out. The reason deblob-check was only printing one filename is that it exits once it finds a blob. By commenting out the exit line I was able to get it to keep looking and list all files with blobs. As expected, running deblob-check on the original kernel results in finding a lot of blobs. I then tried running it on the new kernel generated by deblob-main. It found six files with blobs: /arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S /arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dts /arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20-cubieboard2.dts /arch/arm/boot/dts/sun5i-r8-chip.dts /arch/arm/boot/dts/sun4i-a10-cubieboard.dts /arch/arm/boot/dts/sun5i-a13-olinuxino.dts and then ran for another eight hours without finding anything else. It didn't exit, presumably because I had commented out the exit line, but I'm pretty sure it was done. I'll try running it again with verbose output to make sure that it has definitely checked all of the files. I think that the sun*i-* files might be false positives. The offending code in each seems to be nand-randomizer-seeds = /bits/ 16

Hi alimiracle, first of all it's nice to see somebody involved with the Uruk project here! I tried it out and it's a really nice looking and well laid-out distribution that I can see succeed in the future. To me, including GNU Guix would be a great feature. And while you are here and looking for feedback, I'd like to offer my help in translating the Uruk Project webpage and possibly the parts of the distro that need to be translated into German.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel drivers for the ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card
AFAIK nouveau (that's how FOSS driver for NVidia video adapters is called) is already included in Trisquel. I occasionally run Trisquel 7 on my thinkpad w510 notebook (which has NVidia Quattro video adapter) from USB stick without installing it and it "just works". I also tried to run Trisquel 4 on that same notebook and it worked as well, even though it has some 0.x version of nouveau according to synaptic package manager (Trisquel 7 has some 1.0.x version). Also I saw strange "artifacts" when parts of my screen seem to be not updated when they should. Seen it with Trisquel 7 and Trisquel 6, but not on Trisquel 4 and Trisquel 5, so I guess it has something to do with Gnome desktop (Trisquel uses Gnome 3.x since Trisquel 5.5, all earlier versions of Trisquel used Gnome 2.x)
Re: [Trisquel-users] free PDA running JMP
Sorry for the late reply! I'm not entirely sure as to how the scripts work, honestly. I've had a look through them, and there's a long list of files in the deblob-4.2 file: that would seem to suggest that the blob locations are hard-coded, but it's not proof. I've asked at the GNU Linux-Libre mailing list, so hopefully somebody there will be able to help (presuming the message ever makes it through...).
