Re: [Trisquel-users] trisquel 9 roadmap
> Rumor had it that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS would be supported for 10 years Only if Canonical still be around for another 8 years :) On the side-note it is worth to mention that Canonical's ESM patches for 14.04 are now available gratis. Search the web for "Ubuntu ESM personal" to get the link. And with a little tampering, it is even possible (via debmirror) to get a local copy of complete archive of ESM patches for 12.04 too (the latter is still available at their infrastructure). I already manage to get this to work on fresh Mint GNU/Linux install (both 13 and 17.x respectively). And since it is Ubuntu's "main" repo I see no reason why not try to patch Trisquel Toutatis and Belenos as well ;-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Getting an old version of trisquel for archiving purposes
Complete imageset of Trisquel 5.5 as it was present on the mirrors in the past, including source image and the i18n versions of the images. https://mega.nz/#F!ItdDGADK!cvoH7sivHlfWIMFb74dMDA

Re: [Trisquel-users] Why does installing Trisquel 7 updates cancel my sound system?
Did the upgrade process included a new version of the Linux kernel, even the minor one? Try to boot using previous version of kernels using GRUB advanced options.
Re: [Trisquel-users] deb packages (software sources) for old versions of Trisquel?
I think it is related to my general interest into retro computing (8-bit, Amiga, MS-DOS PC-gaming). And since I have complete Ubuntu i386 repositories from 4.10 until 16.04 I also would like to have a complete set of Trisquel. Thanks for pointing to that mirror. And while it seems not to have updates for 3.5 but...yay! It has a COMPLETE 2.0 Robur repo, not only base repository but updates as well! :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] deb packages (software sources) for old versions of Trisquel?
Old files (updates for Robur) seems to be indexed, but deb files seems not to be physically present there. Issuing debmirror command like this: debmirror --nosource -m --passive --host=archive.trisquel.info/ --root=trisquel/ --method=http --progress --dist=robur-backports,robur-security,robur-updates --section=main,extras --arch=i386,amd64 trisquel-robur-updates --ignore-release-gpg produces "404 not found" errors for every file.
[Trisquel-users] Is Trisquel 6 EOL'ed?
I assume this is a fact now, because of upstream ending support for Ubuntu 12.04, but technically Trisquel is a separate distro, so maybe we can get some official announcement/clarification, regarding that matter?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
Installing any (libre) browser manually in /home or in /opt directory is very easy.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
I am still using Trisquel 6 at one of my older PCs, and it run just fine too. Probably I will use it for some time after its EOL date. Actually I do not use Trisquel 7.0 right now :) So yeah, please do not forget about version 6 too.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel v gNewSense
Hello. What an interesting thread :) I just tried gNewSense 3 and it runs fine on my hardware, but there is one catch not related to the hardware but still very painful and important - NO recent web browser. The problem is that gns3 is not compatible with IceCat 17 which itself is fairy recent and usable (I still use year-old Firefox 17.0.x ESR on Windows machines with no problems). I can browse FSF, GNU, Trisquel or Gnewsense home pages using gns3 default browser (Mozilla 3.5 branch from 2009) but I would not dare to go somewhere else using that. I am well aware that even 3.6 Mozilla branch is already too much outdated for doing anything mainstream on the Internet. I am an enthusiast of old things in computing. I am Amiga guy. I have dedicated DOS gaming machine equipped with Soundblaster16 and S3 Virge cards. And I am using XP where Windows is absolutely necessary. But I also know that recent web browser is a must for a distro to be practically usable. On gns forum I just found an suggestion about backport of Iceweasel 17 for Debian 6 being available but ... maybe just sticking to Trisquel 6 would be just easier. So while I am a bit sentimental toward gNewSense and I am able to install non-standard things into /opt directory, I must say now that I DO NOT recommend to use gNewSense 3. Sorry for having to say such a thing :(
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 6 missed another deadline. Is this project dead?
I did not mean the overall difficulty of use, I mean their lack of releases. They did not release version 3.0 during Lenny lifetime, now they claim to work on 4.0 based on Squeezy. I am aware of unofficial release of 3.0 but harsh reality is that the gNewSense is effectively inactive now. Their last release based on Ubuntu Hardy was released 3,5 years ago. Watching the situation around Trisquel 6.0 I was really concerned that my favorite distro is following the similar path. Now I downloaded that supposed unofficial final release and I stumbled upon the bug during installation - had to turn off the networking to be able to install on Virtualbox.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 6 missed another deadline. Is this project dead?
I am affraid that Trisquel just became another gNewSense. A pity.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Remaining issues in Trisquel 6.0
Taskbar not being transparent is merely an aestetic issue IMHO. More severe (and annoying) is the issue of ALT-rightclick do not function. It was not fixed as of RC5.
