Re: [Trisquel-users] Is there an amd gpu (deblobbed) which I can use?
"It is really strange to hear - that you, while really caring about free software, would like to flash your BIOS using Pi. These Pi single board computers have one of the worst software freedom status according to Free Software Foundation - blobbed, and have a horrible Broadcom as its' CPU. As you know, Broadcom is one of the worst companies regarding their relation to opensource! And I would not be surprised if there are any backdoors inside, and maybe some spies are deliberately promoting a BIOS flashing with Pi on purpose - if through these blobs it could be possible to remote control and e.g. for some specifically targeted people trick their Pi into flashing a wrong BIOS image. There are so many Pi BIOS flashing instructions in the internet, it is suspicious - but if you are not afraid you could use them... :P" Yeah, I mentioned the raspberry pi, because I know someone who has one. :0 I don't own one. But I have access to one, I guess you could say. ;p I don't currently have anything that can do it otherwise. Although if you know an easier way to flash stuff, I may consider buying something libre in the future for this purpose. ;) Although, I have heard that SPECIFIC raspberry pi devices can be librebooted. So there is that too. PS, I have used raspberry pi to fix my x200 via the libreboot guide. They don't recommend using non-free software though for such a purpose obviously... I didn't know broadcom was that bad, thanks for telling me. :)

I didn't upgrade to Trisquel 8. I reformatted and reinstalled. Trisquel 8 works great for me.
[Trisquel-users] issues after updating to Trisquel 8
Last night I upgraded from Trisquel 7 to 8 by changing: /etc/apt/sources.list and just replacing "belenos" with "flidas". And then I ran: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade It seems to have succeeded because now: > user@Taurinus-X200:~/Documents$ lsb_release -a > No LSB modules are available. > Distributor ID:Trisquel > Description: Trisquel GNU/Linux 8.0, Flidas > Release: 8.0 > Codename: flidas But I am experiencing some weird problems, for example, my clock has completely disappeared. And when I hover over things in the start menu, there's no highlighting of the things I hover over like there normally would be. Just weird things like that. But perhaps the most useful information is the warnings I get now when running apt update. When I run apt-get update, I get this: W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'kwin' W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'kwin-dev' W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'kwin-wayland' W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'kwin-x11' W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libkf5sysguard-dev' W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libxapian-dev' W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package php-psr-http-message-implementation W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package php-psr-log-implementation W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package php-seclib W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package php-sabre-http W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package php-math-biginteger W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package pypy-cffi W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package pypy-cffi-backend-api-max W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package pypy-cffi-backend-api-min W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package python-cffi-backend-api-max W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package python-cffi-backend-api-min W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package python3-cffi-backend-api-max W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package python3-cffi-backend-api-min W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-core' W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-gnome' W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package php-math-biginteger W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package pypy-cffi W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package pypy-cffi-backend-api-max W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package pypy-cffi-backend-api-min W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package python-cffi-backend-api-max W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package python-cffi-backend-api-min W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package python3-cffi-backend-api-max W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package python3-cffi-backend-api-min W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package xserver-xorg W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems I'm not sure if the warnings has anything to do with my issues. I certainly wouldn't like to see these warnings every time I run apt-update, but I would also like to fix these bugs I'm having. I can't even find the settings panel in the start menu anymore. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes, I just checked and that was the mistake I made. Thanks.

You are perhaps thinking of the i3 metapackage, which includes the i3 window manager and a handful of recommended packages. $ apt depends i3 i3 Depends: i3-wm (= 4.11-1) Recommends: i3lock (>= 2.2) Recommends: suckless-tools Recommends: i3status (>= 2.3) Recommends: dunst signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Persistence By Default Suggestion for Trisquel 9
Is installation on the hard drives of these computers not possible? Just wondering because if it is, I would imagine the installed systems would be separate and what bootloader each uses (or what software of any kind for that matter) shouldn't come into play.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is there an amd gpu (deblobbed) which I can use?
thank you, thank you, thank you. ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to install i3wm
So it's in the main repo then? I must have been looking in the wrong place (I think it's 'i3' in Debian instead of 'i3-wm' perhaps that's why). Thank you for the assistance Gnu.

You can wait they fix the bug or You can try to install Hyperbola: https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:guide:encrypted_installation
Re: [Trisquel-users] Persistence By Default Suggestion for Trisquel 9
> What's the reason for your need to switch between BIOS and UEFI, out of curiosity? I have both a UEFI laptop and a BIOS desktop. But now that you mention it, last night I was able to discover that if you disable secure boot, you can go right into BIOS boot just fine. So that is no longer a concern for me.

[Trisquel-users] How to install i3wm
Hello All, I like i3wm as I find it a very efficient working environment. I'm not much of an expert with it, and I use it mostly as it installs. My only experience of installing it is on Debian where it is available with a simple apt install. What is the best way to install i3wm for use with Trisquel? I found this page [1] which refers to Ubuntu. As Trisquel is based on Ubuntu should I use this? My main GNU/Linux experience is with Debian, and I've never manually added repos before. Thanks for any advice. [1] https://i3wm.org/docs/repositories.html
