I have a ThinkPad T400 and also wanted to flash it -in my case- with a Banana

However, I haven't have time for it. I also asked in the IRC and someone gave  
me some useful links (I'll post them later, I'm not in the PC with the

let's be honest.

Qualcomm is following the same way than Realtek in bring more blobs instead  
of libre drivers as in past times with Atheros chipset. Even is pleasing to  
Broadcom for spread that practice.


Replicant is a serious project that focus the security and privacy over the  
rest of "unrelated functions". Even I'm surprised of how insane is the state  
of the hardware manufacturers that are doing the best effort possible for  
avoid the spread of libre drivers and promote the blob distribution.


That's why I don't trust in any company that wants to sells as "the libre  
mobile offer" when it doesn't be honest with their proceedings. We need a  
Compaq (the old one, not the actual HP brand) of the smart devices right now!

GRUB's password (I assume that is what you are talking about) should be  
removed.  The reason is not "to easily boot Windows" but "to easily recover  
broken systems".  Just look at the nine pages of results when searching for  
"/etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD" on this site  
https://trisquel.info/fr/search/node/%252Fetc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD


Moreover, GRUB's developers agree the password brings no additional security  
on most systems:


By default, the boot loader interface is accessible to anyone with physical  
access to the console: anyone can select and edit any menu entry, and anyone  
can get direct access to a GRUB shell prompt. For most systems, this is  
reasonable since anyone with direct physical access has a variety of other  
ways to gain full access, and requiring authentication at the boot loader  
level would only serve to make it difficult to recover broken systems.  
However, in some environments, such as kiosks, it may be appropriate to lock  
down the boot loader to require authentication before performing certain  
operations.

If I remember correctly, you can go to:

... and look for the shortcut there. If you can't find it, please tell

Hello Mangy Dog,

You probably mean "Free as in Free [Speech]". I am aware that VBox is  
non-free software. Per my first post, at the moment, I am using macOS, and I  
am seriously considering replacing it with a free OS. Before I am in the  
position of doing that, I need to try the free OS (Trisquel) out. As far as  
I'm aware, VBox is the closest software to freedom on macOS, so that is why I  
am using it. Virt Manager does not seem to run on macOS.

I have had this issue before, and I have solved it before (with the help of  
others, thanks) but I never figured out what was actually the problem - and  
hence why it was solved. Now I have the problem again, and I still can't  
figure out how to solve it.


The symptom is the following:
~$ sudo apt-get install enigmail
[sudo] password for gnubahn:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 enigmail : Depends: thunderbird (>= 38.0) or
 seamonkey (>= 2.35) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

My Thunderbird is version 38.8.0 so whu am I having this issue and how can I  
solve it?

security measure that prevents you to boot Windows or any other GNU/Linux

It's the other way round
Windows restricts user freedom by making it dificult to boot and install  
other operating systems

As for the lanuguage issue, thats unfortunate, i have encountered this
