Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 with kernel 4.15.0-99 BusyBox error
You can chroot from a live session. Boot from a live CD and open a terminal. Then, assuming your root partition is /dev/sda1 $ sudo su # TARGET=/media/sda1 # mkdir -p $TARGET # mount /dev/sda1 $TARGET # mount --bind /dev $TARGET/dev # mount --bind /dev/pts $TARGET/dev/pts # mount --bind /proc$TARGET/proc # mount --bind /sys $TARGET/sys # cp /etc/resolv.conf $TARGET/etc/ # chroot $TARGET /bin/bash This places you in a root terminal on the trisquel system. Do whatever you want to do there,e.g., uninstall that kernel. To exit from chroot: # control-D This brings you back to where you were in the live session and you can unmount # umount -l $TARGET/dev/pts # umount -l $TARGET/dev # umount -l $TARGET/proc # umount -l $TARGET/sys

To search packages related to guile, open a terminal and type this: apt-cache search guile You will see a list of packages matching your search. To get information about one specific package, for example 'guile-2.0', run apt-cache policy guile-2.0 And you will get the version available and the version you have, if any, installed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] pdf software
I use pdftk. It's a very useful cli application. From its man page: If PDF is electronic paper, then PDFtk is an electronic stapler-remover, hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. PDFtk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents. Keep one in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to: - Merge PDF documents - Split PDF pages into a new document - Decrypt input as necessary (password required) - Encrypt output as desired - Fill PDF Forms with FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms - Apply a Background Watermark - Report PDF on metrics, including metadata and bookmarks - Update PDF Metadata - Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document - Unpack PDF Attachments - Burst a PDF document into single pages - Uncompress and re-compress page streams - Repair corrupted PDF (where possible)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Installation shortcuts in Trisquel 8 instead of pre-installed apps?
"The Openbox menu (I gotta find a way to integrate it to i3wm, I like it this much) isn't updated on the fly if I remember correctly, it must be edited by hand. It's easier to setup, but maybe not so good for beginners." And not easily multilingual. I think it's easier to install our favourite applications via synaptic than trying to achieve the perfect default installation for everyone, which is impossible. For example, debian and fedora basically ship the default GNOME applications, and they're pretty usable. In my opinion, apart from default mate applications only some others are needed. As examples https://ubuntu-mate.org/what-is-ubuntu-mate/ https://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/mate-compiz/

Re: [Trisquel-users] I did sth. stupid and I don´t know how to fix it
"P.D: Why when deleting software in GNU/Linux, and then you reinstall it, it seems like if nothing would have happened? I mean, there is no way to delete data, like in Android or Wincrap." Applications often create configuration files or folders where they store preferences, etc. Those files are usually hidden files in your home folder or in your_home/.config/ For example firefox based browsers create a /home/user/.mozilla folder; gedit preferences are in /home/user/.config/gedit, etc. That's why if you reinstall an application its preferences remain unless you remove the configuration files.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Migrating from gnome to mate
The same icons and gtk themes will also work with mate. The window manager theme (mostly the window title bar) is what is different, as far as I know. Regarding menu entries you can modify the corresponding .desktop files to be shown or hidden in specific desktop environments using 'OnlyShowIn, NotShowIn' keys. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html For example, including 'OnlyShowIn=XFCE;' in the .desktop file that application will be only displayed in xfce.

In a trisquel workstation you don't need to run periodically anti malware software or defrag the disks. Just update the system when required.

Re: [Trisquel-users] i3wm on a Trisquel 7 and dual screen issue + intro
I thought Trisquel actually prevents non-free programs installation Such a system wouldn't be free software, since it's up to the user what software install and run. Sometimes installing non-free software may be useful for the community, as explain in https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.en.html The Free Software Foundation follows the rule that we cannot install any proprietary program on our computers except temporarily for the specific purpose of writing a free replacement for that very program. Aside from that, we feel there is no possible excuse for installing a proprietary program. For example, we felt justified in installing Unix on our computer in the 1980s, because we were using it to write a free replacement for Unix. Nowadays, since free operating systems are available, the excuse is no longer applicable;
