Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 upgrade problem - help required
Excellent! Thank you so much for the tips. And that is a great idea about running the upgrade on a second hard drive. I am going to do it that way to be on the safe side. Cheers :)

So you installed the beta image, or one of them.

[Trisquel-users] Re : How to access encrypted home folder (mounted on separated partition) from another trisquel installation
Does the system actually let you log in? Or do you boot into into a root terminal (maybe using a recovery mode menu entry you enabled in /etc/default/grub)? Or maybe you use 'chroot' from a live system? I would try try that command: # ecryptfs-recover-private /home/li/.Private
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 upgrade problem - help required
Hi Steve-O, I'm doing an upgrade today too and hit the same issue with Software Updater. The alternative to using Software Updater is to perform the upgrade from the command line. Which I'll explain below. This is no less safe, but upgrading always carries some risk, so if this system is important to you, you *must* be prepared in case there are problems. An approach I recommend is to buy a second hard drive and get an appropriately skilled person to clone your existing system onto that drive. Then you can swap in the new drive and perform the upgrade on it, leaving the old one intact in case of problems. First use Software Updater to ensure that your Trisquel 7.0 system is completely up-to-date. Then open the Terminal program and update the package references to Trisquel 8.0: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list In the editor, replace all references to "belenos" with "flidas" (try Search, Replace in the menu). Save and close the editor. Then update your packages list with: sudo apt-get update Then perform the upgrade with: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade That will busily download and install all the packages, taking quite a while. When it's completed you'll need to reboot your machine. Now you're running Trisquel 8.0! Regards, Ben

"What is the name of the decompiler that Stallman mentions at the beginning of the following video?" He didn't mention the name. Write to r...@gnu.org, ask him, and then tell us okay? Thanks.

No, I never installed it. I just installed Trisquel 8 recently, but the image I used was from before Christmas at least.
[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 upgrade problem - help required
Hi,
Trying to upgrade to Trisquel 8. I used the 'Software Updater' under 'System
Settings' which tells me that "The software on this computer is up to date.
However, Trisquel 8.0 LTS is now available (you have 7.0)." So I click
'Upgrade...' and authenticate, click 'Upgrade' again on the Release Notes.
Then there's some messages about rewriting 'sources.list' ("No valid mirror
found" and "Generate default sources?") but I don't care about that so I just
click yes. Then I get stuck! The error message is as follows:
"Error authenticating some packages. Continue?
It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient
network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of
unauthenticated packages.
linux-image-generic"
How can I get the upgrade to work please? Also, please provide "safe"
instructions as I really don't want to have to restore my system from backup
(possible if necessary but not preferred) as that might be tricky if the
system won't boot!
Many thanks in advance,
Steve
P.S. Trisquel 7 is great BTW! Thanks :)

I do remember being able to install Thunderbird at one point when Trisquel 8 was in beta, so perhaps you installed Thunderbird before that issue was fixed. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

What is the name of the decompiler that Stallman mentions at the beginning of the following video? https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-awards-1c4f/ I've duckduckgone it but no obvious result comes out.

I go to extensions menu/page (about:addons) go through the pages looking for HTTPS Everywhere, right-click on the link that is in its name, tell Abrowser to open it in new tab and I'm redirected to corresponding page in trisquel.info website. From there I click "Install extension", it asks twice for permissions (one for authorizing trisquel.info to provide that extension and other for the specific permissions that the add-on needs) and then its successfully installed. -- - Formas de contato: https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno#vCard - Ativista do /software/ livre (não confundir com gratuito).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Icedove Mail suggests amazon.com as search engine
Huh.. When I uninstalled it through synaptic package manager it disappeared. So no, I am not able to install it again. And when I try $ sudo apt install thunderbird I get the thing you have guys have been talking about: "Note, selecting 'icedove' instead of 'thunderbird'" But why I had the package in the first place... I have no idea. I think maybe because I installed from a relatively old T8 image and updated afterwards. Instead downloading fresh image.

That's strange. If you uninstall thunderbird are you able to install it again? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] SuperTuxKart complaining about OpenGL
Yeah, you've got it. Of course OpenGL can be implemented in software too (and it is as a backup in Trisquel; this is done through MESA), it's just slower that way. Testing is the only way to find out whether any given game will run properly on your machine. Glad to hear the new version is playable! :)

What's the license for GreasyFork? It's not in the Software Freedom Directory, so getting it into there might be a good start.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Having trouble installing add-ons on Abrowser. When I click install, it doesn't.
I learned that the add-on tool doesn't work, so I did it through the browser on Trisquel's site. Having another problem though. How do I install Abrowser from backports? I need an updated version, because the default one I'm using now says HTTPS Everywhere isn't compatible with it.
[Trisquel-users] Having trouble installing add-ons on Abrowser. When I click install, it doesn't.
When I click install, it goes back to a page saying "What are Add-ons?" I tried Trisquel in the past back when it was on 6 or 7 and I remember having no issues with downloading browser add-ons. I don't know what I'm doing wrong now.
