I have found compton to be a little glitchy with the default xrender
backend, but have had no problems with opengl.

Try 

$ killall compton
$ compton -f --backend glx

and if that fixes the problem then change the line in your i3 config
file to

exec compton -f --backend glx

to make the change permanent.

I suggest troubleshooting your current issues with compton first.

I am using compton already with this line in i3 config file

exec compton -f

but occasionally seeing slight visual glitches when new windows are  
opening/closing such as blank white areas on transparent windows for a split  
second.


I'll try and Make the compton fork, thanks!

Re: [Trisquel-users] boot-up USB memory card not working ...

2019-10-01 Thread xliang9550
Seems like compatibility issue with the USB storage media. I tried many  
portable HDDs, flash disks and card readers on coreboot, and found only a  
small portion of such devices work with coreboot. Maybe you can invite your  
friends to try their USB storage devices and see which can be recognized by  
libreboot and then buy the proven working models?


Note: this compatibility issue was quite common when USB 3.x was initially  
introduced. I wanted to create a USB 3.0 live disk, but only succeeded in  
booting from it after a long trial and error process. Many of the USB storage  
media I tested weren't recognized by BIOS, or even caused the POST fail.

[Trisquel-users] boot-up USB memory card not working ...

2019-10-01 Thread adel

Hi,

I have a librebooted Thinkpad T400 laptop computer and I can't seem to get it  
to boot from USB memory.  I've tried to run and install a fresh OS on this  
computer a few times over the two years or so that I've had it.  I have  
probably tried creating those USB drives on both Windows and Trisquel Mini  
over the course of that time so I think that the problem (?) might be with my  
computer or my actions rather than my bootable Trisquel USB memory card.


Help!

Thanks, I now have and can report `apt-get update` seems to be successful in  
the live USB. However, I have no tried installing any apps there.

If you haven't already, you might want to set up compton as a
compositor. If you are experiencing any screen tearing in i3 this should
fix it. You can also configure some cosmetic effects like opacity and
shadows. I use this fork[1] of compton which allows for some additional
animations.[2]

Hm. It looks like Ubuntu is still packaged in Ubuntu as of 18.04,[1] and
Lubuntu did not switch from LXDE to LXQt until 18.10,[2] so we should be
able to use LXDE for Trisquel Mini 9 if we want to, but for Trisquel
Mini 10+ that might no longer be an option.

as far as I know, LXDE and LXQt are separate desktops. Maybe LXDE is no  
longer actively developed, but it's still separate.

FSF's mirror of Trisquel's repository is apparently down.  Hopefully

In the longer term, most Razor-qt components will fully be integrated into  
the LXDE-Qt and both teams will focus on the same project. Looking further  
ahead, the GTK version of LXDE will be dropped and all efforts will be  
focused on the Qt port.
