Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Enable PAE?
I know you can choose between many different kernels, when installing using the 'net install' (at least for Trisquel 6.0).
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Enable PAE?
Can i switch on forcepae via the terminal, once i am in the live session? No, it's a parameter for the kernel. Once you've booted up it's too late. Try holding Shift to get to the grub menu. It should offer you a way to edit the kernel parameters. Looking at this https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt I get the impression forcepae only works on 32 bit.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Enable PAE?
PAE is only for 32-bit, so that makes sense. On 32-bit trisquel, the PAE kernel is used by default. Many 32-bit systems have PAE support but disable it, so forcepae enables it. If you don't have PAE support at all, you will have to use a non-PAE kernel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Enable PAE?
Can you specify which version of Trisquel you're trying to install?
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Enable PAE?
Thankyou, I got it to work with forcepae with the following Boot from the installation CD or USB stick Press escape to see the boot menu Highlight the Install Ubuntu; option Press F6 to open the menu for adding additional boot options Press escape to close the menu, because the forcepae option is available as a preset A string with boot options shows now Put the cursor at the end and add: forcepae; Press Enter and the installation should continue now

[Trisquel-users] How to Enable PAE?
Hello, on a number of old laptops I get the following problem when I try to install Trisquel The ISO image will fail to boot (This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae.) If a few lines above this text there is a warning WARNING: PAE disabled. Can anyone please suggest a safe way to fix this? thankyou
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to Enable PAE?
PAE is Physical Address Extension: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension This is only for IA-32 (the 32-bit processor type, also called x86), not AMD64 (the 64-bit variant of IA-32, also called x86-64), so if you have a 64-bit processor, you can (and should) use the 64-bit Trisquel. I don't know whether or not any AMD64 processors without PAE support exist. If you really have a 32-bit processor without PAE support, you'll need to get a distro with PAE disabled. Supposedly[1] these are usually labelled i386, i486, or retro. Maybe gNewSense would be an option (I can't check since the gNewSense website isn't loading for me at the moment).
