Oh man, my bad! It's a shame... Uninstalling it ASAP! Thanks again dude! Best regards.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to apply Ubuntu's LTS Enablement Stack upgrades in Trisquel 8?
you're right, I apply the update while installing the new version of the graphical stack, so in that sense would have no way to determine if the improvement in functionality is due to one or the other. Regads.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Is it possible to apply Ubuntu's LTS Enablement Stack upgrades in Trisquel 8?
Haven't you seize the occasion to update Abrowser to version 62? If so, version 62 (and not Xorg's update) may have solved the rendering issue. Abrowser 62 entered Trisquel's repository this morning, maybe yesterday.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Is it possible to apply Ubuntu's LTS Enablement Stack upgrades in Trisquel 8?
Since the packages linux-*-hwe-8.0 all have their version numbers ending with "trisquel4", I believe there should be no such problem. If there is, then it is a critical issue to file: Trisquel's repository should never propose proprietary software.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Emulator Packages
I remember Magic B pointing out this to me a year ago or so, it is indeed a problem, I love snes and I love a couple of emulators that are free software and work great, but the games themselves are all proprietary. It is very sad not being able to play Donkey Kong Country in clear conscience, which I haven't ever since :'(
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to apply Ubuntu's LTS Enablement Stack upgrades in Trisquel 8?
Well, I still have the X server up and running (LOL!). The installation process only showed me some warnings harmless but noisy but everything happened correctly. As a first impression it seems to me that the rendering problem has been solved at the moment. I need to let more time pass to be able to confirm with full confidence that it has.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to apply Ubuntu's LTS Enablement Stack upgrades in Trisquel 8?
Thank you very much for the explanation, I am still adapting to the Trisquel's packages/structure. Of course, I was just planning to install the suggested package as following: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 Wish me luck. @jxself: Thanks to you too for your advice. Best regards.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Display issue (probably font rendering) on Abroswer
I also have problems with abrowser, rendering mainly... foo@bar$ inxi -G Graphics: Card: Intel Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: 1024x600@60.00hz GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel 945GME x86/MMX/SSE2 GLX Version: 1.4 Mesa 18.0.5 It seems to confirm that the issue is focused on the Mesa/Intel driver version. However, Pale Moon works much better for me in this case but not without issues at all. Best regards.

[Trisquel-users] Record a voice chat from Discord
Hi, I have been trying to figure out a way to record my microphone and the voices of people I am speaking with on a discord chat at the same time. I have looked into OBS, but this application does not run on my computer because of old hardware. Does anyone know how to setup Audacity or Ardour4 to accomplish this? I also have installed qjackctl to try to figure it out. Thanks!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Emulator Packages
"Surely those 'ROMs' can be released under the GPL by their respective artists" I don't mean colloquial usage of the term "ROM" used by the community but the actual ROM; inside the computer that contained the software that lets it do things like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/C64_startup_animiert.gif That software has no source code and so is automatically proprietary regardless of any license. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html "access to the source code is a precondition."
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to apply Ubuntu's LTS Enablement Stack upgrades in Trisquel 8?
Ubuntu's so-called "enablement" things also include a newer kernel. Ubuntu's kernel includes proprietary junk. So be careful because by pulling in their so-called "enablement" stuff you might also get their horrible kernel wit all of its warts and general ugliness. You have been warned.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Is it possible to apply Ubuntu's LTS Enablement Stack upgrades in Trisquel 8?
The package named "trisquel" is not essential at all. It is a metapackage. See https://trisquel.info/forum/eli5-why-pidgin-preinstalled-trisquel-and-gnunet-uses-mainly-pidgin-communicating#comment-132371 for an explanation. So, well, just install the package "xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04" and, please, tell us if that solves Abrowser's rendering glitches: many users face that problem, apparently.
[Trisquel-users] Is it possible to apply Ubuntu's LTS Enablement Stack upgrades in Trisquel 8?
Hi everyone! Very probably this question is typical but I have searched the forum and I could not find a satisfactory answer to it. I have tried to follow the procedure described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack, but I get as a result the replacement of several critical components of the distribution, the trisquel metapackage to be more concrete. In my case I want to install a newer version of the graphical stack for my computer (mesa/Intel driver) because I have some rendering issues with Firefox-like web browsers and I'm not interested in having a newer kernel version. In fact I wouldn't like it, version 4.4 is enough for me. Any kind of help or comment would be appreciated. Best regards.
