Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU parted - how to update to new version?

2018-01-23 Thread 43453
I made the prozess of dd / partition table / partitioning / formating with  
the new version of Parted (3.2), which is on the gparted live iso, again and  
everything went as expected. BUT same strange behaviour still occurs. if the  
drive is mounted permanent activity happens on the completely empty and new  
drive. has anybody an explanation for this? defect drive?

I made:

$ /media/USER$ sudo chmod 777 HDD

no I have access

$mount
$/dev/sdc1 on /media/USER/HDD type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2)

but the strange thing is the hdd light is blinking fast and hdd is working,  
but I do nothing at all


I feels like there is something not correct configured

for the record: if signal strengh is to weak, strange errors can occur. now i  
have a better signal but connection still drops from time to time. strangely  
the connection disappears in trisquel so i have to disable and re-enable  
wi-fi to get connected again, maybe, otherwise i have to restart. even more  
strangely is that I connect to a range extender which should give a solid  
connection.


[Trisquel-users] GNU parted - how to update to new version?

2018-01-22 Thread 43453

I want to update GNU parted from version 2.3 to a never version with:

$ sudo aptitude install parted

but the output is:

$ No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.

why is that?

is it important/makes it any difference for the use of ext4 to have a new  
version of GNU parted?

[Trisquel-users] Netgear WN111v2 installation problem

2017-10-16 Thread 43453
I bought the Netgear WN111v2 and according to  
https://h-node.org/wifi/view/en/1492 it should work with free software only.  
But it seems that i have to install additional software, which i cant because  
i have no net access. Any ideas? How can i install this device?


An additional problem is that i only have terminal access. So i can not see  
if the device works via GUI...

aloniv: "It should perhaps default to mirroring both screens instead."

It could be that the mirroring is working, but not correctly because the  
integrated display is a hd screen and the external not. So it's not zoomed in  
the right way (if I open a window its in the lower right corner, not center).  
There seems to be no correct seperate recognition of the 2nd screen.


What exact terminal-command for which program do I need to simply shut the  
integrated screen off? (I wanna avoid try and error here..)

[Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs

2017-08-27 Thread 43453
I installed Trisquel 7 but there is no desktop bar at all and no folders. I  
use a vga non-HD display because of a defect laptop display. Maybe because of  
this the whole desktop is not shown correctly. At the moment I have no normal  
access to the programs. Any Idea what I can do? I tried live usb mode and  
lxde, everytime same effect. The login screen seems to be normal.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Black screen at booting

2016-12-23 Thread 43453
one thing i wanted was to get a silent boot. if anybody is interested, my  
non-perfect workaround with plymouth is to change the font colours to black  
(0x00) in /lib/plymouth/themes ->  text.plymouth and (im not sure if this  
was the reason in my case) to disable the access to the .png background  
picture by renaming, so that plymouth is only in 'text mode'. btw: on  
shutdown this configuration has not the intended effect


second i wanted to make the boot faster. so far i figured out, to get a  
significant improvement, i would have to change the init to a faster one,  
thats not possible because of the dependencies


third just to mention it, my wish would be that trisquel would be based on  
devuan, not debian and at least not on ubuntu

initally i wanted a "silent" boot, a black screen until the login screen  
appears, but then everythings getting unexpected complicated, it seems i have  
to remove 'plymouth' completely or replace 'upstart' with a different init?
