[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8... where are you?

2017-10-11 Thread tegskywalker
I was looking at the Purism laptops today and they come with PureOS as the  
operating system. It would have been nice to have Trisquel as an option, but  
version 8 is STILL nowhere to be found.


Anyone remember when Ruben would release Trisquel at a decent rate? The most  
recent version (7) is based off of an OS from April of 2014!

There is Scratch.  It is very famous... but educational.  It is in Trisquel's

$ No space left on device

That is the problem.  Your root partition is full.  It may be because you  
never remove the older kernels.  If so, I suggest you remove, with 'sudo rm  
file', the older kernels in /boot, but not the one you use: be careful!  All  
the files in /boot that have a version number can be removed except those  
having the version number that this command returns:

$ uname -r
Then, try again:
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Then, remove with the package manager the actual packages that provided the  
kernels you removed with 'sudo rm' (you can search the installed packages  
whose name start with "linux-").  If the command above worked, you can use  
the "Synaptic Package Manager" to do so.


Finally, you can use the "Disk Usage Analyzer", in the "System Settings", to  
discover what takes most of the space in your root partition (it may not only  
be the older kernels).

2017-10-11 Thread leestrobel
Thanks for the update, tonlee, although it is discouraging that Raptor will  
not be able to provide specifications. In my opinion, for the crowdfunding to  
have any chance at all, they would have to provide a firm quote first,  
including specs, price, lead time, warranty details. As you say, people would  
need to know what they are paying for.


I am not surprised that they are not in favor of a notebook board, as that  
would involve additional challenges, as I mentioned before.


Did you have any luck in contacting RMS or the FSF? Given Raptor's position,  
I wonder if the best way forward might be to kick off some sort of online  
petition, to gather signatures of those who would be willing to buy a new  
Power9 board for $500, to try to gauge if the interest is really there. If we  
could get 20-30,000 signatures, that might help to convince Raptor that the  
project is feasible.

I suspect/take a guess that part of the problem is power consumption.
Which means a lot of cooling and for laptops that means not a generic
off the shelf heatsinks/cooling systems but custom designed and made
cooling system, i guess. Along with all the addition bits and
complications in making a notebook.

After watching luke making a eoma68 laptop, it is a lot of work. When if
you want portable you probably want something lower power with longer
batt life. Note that eoma68 has a power budget of 5W for the computer
card wheres i guess (idk) the talos will be double digit power needs.

A ATX board pops into existing PCs. so they just have to do the basic
stuff (the big power supply brick, for example. is already done for
them, laptop would mean diy power supply.) and i guess less trouble
fitting it all in the space of the atx pcb.

It’s a struggle to do anything. The challenge is to make something at all.

Anyway heres an existing powerpc laptop project:

It was mentioned/talked about on the eoma68/rhombus-tech/arm-netbook

2017-10-11 Thread svhaab

I got an email from raptor.
They will not state specifications of a mainboard. If gathering the pieces of  
information means costs to raptor, it is understandable. If a crowd funding  
is initiated, raptor will have to display specifications because people will  
want to know what they buy. Raptor is not in favor of a notebook mainboard.  
Raptor does not elaborate. It seems making a notebook ppc mainboard is more  
difficult. Requiring bigger sales numbers in order to keep a lower price.  
Instead raptor suggest a micro atx mainboard. I would prefer a notebook  
mainboard enabling people to make their own portable or notebook solutions.

The t400 came with windows 10 installed. I do not know from which windows  
version it was updated. I deleted windows 10.
I have a windows 7 iso. I have no windows 7 license. Windows 7 will work for  
some time, if you do not activate it. Can I install the ec update program? Do  
you have a link to the ec update program?

I read the linux instructions on updating the ec. To complicated.

Back in my "office" ... when I attempted to start Synaptic Package Manager, a  
popup appeared, saying that an error occurred, and, after stating that E:  
dpkg was interrupted, demanded that I "run [sudo] dpkg --configure -a to  
correct the problem."


The popup also said "E: _cache->open() failed, please report."

Using copy & paste into Terminal and adding sudo, I was greeted with a brief  
flurry of acivity ... poof ... no Terminal.


When I close the popup, Synaptic Package Manager goes down with it.  
Afterwards, Terminal crashed when I attempted dmesg requests. I rebooted, ran  
[sudo] dpkg --configure -a again, watched Terminal go poof again, and then  
restarted terminal, followed by dmesg | tail, which produced what looks like  
a memory dump:

I assume you still have the desired kernel installed. Otherwise, install it  
again. You must then boot that kernel: choose it in the "Advanced options" of  
the GRUB menu... but a user and a password will be asked: the user is "grub"  
and the password is at the very end of the output of 'sudo cat  
/etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD', to be executed in a terminal. But you had better  
get rid of that useless password (GRUB's developers say so!):  
https://trisquel.info/forum/updating-error#comment-117506


Then, remove the newer kernels, e.g., using the "Synaptic Package Manager" in  
the "System Settings".  The configuration of GRUB (which is used!) will be  
automatically updated: the most recent kernel boots by default.
