Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing Trisquel 8 Mini on tablet

2019-12-02 Thread xliang9550
At least 2 conditions must be met. One is CPU architecture. The tablet must  
have an x86_64 processor in order to run Trisquel 8. The other requirement is  
that the tablet's firmware (UEFI) must allow users to disable Secure Boot.


For arm(64) platform, the situations are even worse. Almost all smart phones  
and tablets have boot loader locked down (something like Secure Boot). It's  
increasingly hard to unlock the boot loader (something like disabling Secure  
Boot on x86 computers), and some manufacturers don't allow unlocking boot  
loader at all (e.g. Apple and Huawei). Even if you had successfully unlocked  
the device, you'd find it unusable without lots of proprietary firmware  
(modem, WiFi, bluetooth, and even display all require non-free firmware to  
work).

What is the architecture of the device?  If it is x86 then it might be
possible, but I'm don't really know.  If it is ARM, then it cannot run
Trisquel 8, but may be able to run Trisquel 9 once it is released.

Yes I think I should at least install Libreboot then see some things so I  
have been trying to install on the x60s but it is difficult. Or rather, maybe  
it is not difficult, as you say,


>Using guides are good, but sometimes outdated, or some critical parts aren't

This is only my feelings but it seems that I cannot think nothing but they  
have no intention to share the method straight. It seems that "education"  
might be the pretext, but it causes the doubt that that "There might be some  
inconvenience to teach or share the information". Isn't it natural?


As I wrote here:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-do-you-computer-experts-think-about-computer-education-high-school

Frankly there is perfectly no reason that average users become willing users  
of this kind of stuff, like the Serbian English teacher. Or rather, they have  
bad feelings for this kind of stuff. They are rejecting. Should I show an  
example what I am having trouble with.
Why paste a link in the instruction pages? What is cd? dd? 2. From the  
libreboot_bin or libreboot_util/ directory??

Why despite it can be done internally, cannot I do that one or two clicks?
I appreciate that there are so-called libre stuff. I have read an article  
that Libreboot has an intention to let even normal users install coreboot  
easily so this would be the easist way, it must be my childish complaint, but  
absolutely the English teacher would not be willing to do it. That means  
almost 100% people will never flash bios of their devices by themselves. If  
we know what we will get from flashing it but I am not still sure what I will  
get.

Ahh I am saying the same thing again...
I hope the nadebula's documents will be great stuff that like "This is great,

necessity to do it now. Because... how many years went past since... is my  
current frank feelings. Or rather I have been having the feelings... zzz...  
If you sold x60 for $200 including everthing, I would buy it. Should I also

I already have the feeling that you are trying to do most of the things by

But don't give up. If you fail 10 times, try 11th time, with the hope of  
succeeding, which is helping a lot.


Using guides are good, but sometimes outdated, or some critical parts aren't  
explained well, if you have 2 x60s, if you have the time to spend, try using  
one as your testing device, and try whatever test you can imaging, if you  
follow a guide, try to change some steps in that guide which feels  
convenient.

for example,
Guide: run this command with this parameters

It took almost two years since I thought "What is GNU/Linux.".
I got to know Thinkpads have many fans and parts and data. I am going to keep  
using GNU/Linux but this is really my weak subject. When I was a kid, there  
was a popular toy which name was Mini 4WD. It was a car toy and we had to  
assemble it from a kit. The toy just runs straight with no controller. I  
think it was quite simple structure but my Mini 4WD did not run. The sadness  
was engraved in my memory. Looking back, it was RR or midship, not 4WD.  Also  
I have written Basic when I was a kid. There was a famous FC game which name  
was Dragon Quest (maybe it was called Dragon Worrier abroad) and the chief  
developer Yuji Horii wrote a book of Basic. I entered commands on the black  
screen of PC-8800 or something according to his instruction like 10... 20...  
you can add other order later between 10 and 20... oh I see... bla bla bla  
but nothing happened. I have not much conviction for this kind of stuff.  
Maybe I have not much tolerance to this kind of frustration. But thank you. I

Hopefully you don't have to return to "use" Windows. I do appreciate your  
progress in trying to install a free/libre operating system distribution by  
yourself. You have also shown the willingness to study, which is invaluable.


That you purchased X60s to install Trisquel is an excellent starting point.  
So keep studying and don't give up. Now you can try to improve your hardware  
DIY capability using the X60s machine. Buy a set of nice tools (mainly  
screwdrivers) and search for the Hardware Maintenance Manual for your  
machine. Practice until you can skillfully disassemble and re-assemble it and  
replace damaged parts.

someone was preventing me from installing it but it might have been my

download something? When I downloaded Tails, its number of MD5 or SHA256 was  
different. But I didn't know what I should do so I kept using the iso image.  
I think there was no problem. Anyway Ubuntu and Tails or other distros took  
around 15-20 minitus to boot, but Trisquel boots within one minute so it is  
very good. The fun was very clean somehow.

I just searched for "cryptsetup fails bad password or options" and it
seems that the most common issue is that the user unknowingly has CapsLk
on. However, I see one case where the presence of a backslash in the
password might have been the cause.[1] If so, the problem may be
inconsistent character encoding, in which case non-ascii characters
could be a problem as well. You could confirm this by testing with a
password using only ascii alphanumeric characters.

How important is full disk encryption to you? (Are you worried about
physical theft of this machine?) If it doesn't matter, the simplest
thing might be to deselect LVM in the installer and avoid this issue
entirely.

So the freezing happens sooner every time? It's possible that the laptop
is overheating. What happens if you give the laptop some time to cool
down before trying again? Does the freezing take longer? When I
installed Trisquel 7 on my X60, I had the exact same issue with freezing
before I could make it through the installation process, and found that
the freezing always occurred when the laptop was hot. Cleaning the
fan[2] couldn't hurt.

With Xbindkeys I was able to solve the audio hotkey problem.

sudo apt-get install xbindkeys

then run the command it suggests:

xbindkeys --defaults > $HOME/.xbindkeysrc

After this edit the file:

sudo leafpad $HOME/.xbindkeysrc

then insert these to that file:

# Increase volume
"pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +1000"
   XF86AudioRaiseVolume

# Decrease volume
"pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -1000"
   XF86AudioLowerVolume

# Mute volume
"pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle"
   XF86AudioMute

then enable settings and test them:

xbindkeys --poll-rc

Finally after all is good make xbindbeys start automatically by editing this  
file:


sudo leafpad /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

by adding:

Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing Trisquel on EFI

2018-07-18 Thread xliang9550
Once I had one Acer ultrabook with mSATA and SATA drives. The "legacy" mode  
boot list didn't contain the mSATA option, so if I wished to boot from the  
mSATA SSD, I had to use UEFI mode (the ESP can be on either SSD or HDD).


I believe what you described was something similar: restrictions by the  
firmware. (Maybe the manufacturer didn't want users to install operating  
systems using legacy mode.) Unfortunately, starting Haswell, Intel  
implemented one treacherous "feature": Boot Guard. It is impossible to fix  
the broken-beyond-repair non-free firmware with this anti-feature present.


What I can suggest is to try the latest Debian (testing) Installer and  
perform a minimalist installation. See whether you can boot it from UEFI  
mode. Use the "Alpha 3" release of Debian Installer. I tested it on many UEFI  
systems. (Note: Debian does have certain non-free firmware on its mirror  
servers. Avoid adding the "contrib" or "non-free" repositories and you can  
have a free/libre system.)


[Trisquel-users] Installing Trisquel on EFI

2018-07-17 Thread fredo

Hello,

after having unsuccesfully tried several ways to install trisquel on an efi  
system, I come here to get some help.
I successfully booted and installed trisquel about ten times, always with the  
same issue : grub can't install because it "can't get the canonical path  
of'cow'".
I am aware that some operations must be done when booting (checking whether  
it is legacy boot or efi boot) and that a GPT partition table with a  
bios-grub partition must be created before installation in case of a legacy  
grub install. I tried but am not sure if it was really succesful, because my  
HDD still can't be selected to boot in the Bios :


The PC is an Asus R900V with an internal hard drive recognized by the BIOS  
under Sata devices on port 0. Works perfectly when I work with it on a live  
system, but can't select it on the Boot device priority option. Here is only  
listed the DVD drive or the USB flash drive when I put one.


Here comes the question : can the HDD absence from boot options be due to a  
wrong grub install ?
And also : can someone explain me the easiest and most reliable way to  
install trisquel on this computer (I mean EFI vs Legacy boot)?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing Trisquel from USB Hard Drive

What you must do now is shutdown your computer (not reboot), remove the
USB storage, and power on again. However, this method is rather
incomplete, because if you put any other USB storage while
starting/power on, your computer will probably complain if the USB
storage isn't bootable. For a complete method, see the next paragraph.

As a more advanced alternative: Instead of removing USB storage, make
sure that your computer's BIOS/UEFI has the local drives set first/in
high priority than the USB storage.

Honestly, I have no idea, Heather. In my 20 years experience with Windows I  
haven't even managed to learn something as simple and useful. That's how a  
dumb OS succeeds in keeping you a dumb user, or more correctly a subjugated

Can you even do dd in Windows?

In retrospect, my reluctance to use that command was an irrational fear and  
life is going to be so much easier now that I've confronted and conquered it.


"if for input, of for output" isn't harder to remember than "lefty loosey,  
righty tighty" but you don't see us "average joe/josephine" users running  
away in horror at the thought of using a screwdriver, do you?


The mind is a funny thing.

You must burn the iso to a usb drive or a cd or dvd.

https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows this is one way  
you can do it.  though it is on a ubuntu site... heh.


don't fret though, I been down this path before, it gets easier as time  
passes.


That's been my experience for sure.

rufus is another program for doing so.

and finally there is this

if you figure out how to burn the iso to a usb or cd we can help you with the

You don't open the ISO, you "burn" it to a USB drive (or CD or DVD):

I agree with Heather,
You are trying to install while in Windows and I would have no idea where to  
begin doing that


but if you have shrunk the C drive in Windows;
 and successfully burned a Trisquel iso DVD;
 and have your BIOS settings set to allow you to boot from DVD drive,

then you should be able to reboot into the OS on your DVD and go from there.

I'll give it a try, anyway. I haven't used Windows since XP was the newest  
hottest thing, but let's start with the basics:


It looks from your post as if you are trying to install Trisquel from a  
folder on your windows installation, is this correct?


It isn't impossible to do it that way, if I understand the term "debootstrap"  
correctly, but that isn't what folks like you and me need to be spending our  
time doing. You have downloaded the .iso file that has everything you need to  
install Trisquel and now you need to either burn it to a DVD:


https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/burn-trisquel-cd-images

or make a bootable USB stick:

https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-create-liveusb

You may have to go into BIOS/UEFI before it will boot to your install medium  
so let me know if you run into any problems and I'll see if I can help.


I like the way you think wrt replacing Windows 10 altogether. :)

[Trisquel-users] Installing Trisquel to replace Windows 10

2017-03-01 Thread sublime4
I've been trying to install Trisquel for over a week now with no success. I  
went to Documentation then Setup then Installation Guides and then finally to  
Install Trisquel with Windows in dual-boot to find some instructions. I want  
to install Trisquel and replace Windows 10 in the process. I followed the  
instructions for installing Trisquel alongside older versions of Windows but  
I never get the outcome that the instructions say that I should. When I  
download Trisquel and then open the folder I never get the screen that allows  
me the option of installing alongside windows, replacing windows, etc.  The  
instructions said that if these options don't appear for you then you should  
delete the recovery partition on your computer's hard drive.  I looked up  
online how to do this and it is gone now.  However I still never see the  
options that I should when I attempt to open the folder of the downloaded  
Trisquel.  Instead a new window opens up called CyberLink ISO Viewer with all  
of the downloaded folders of Trisquel. The instructions read, "IMPORTANT: If  
you do not see the option "Install Trisquel Alongside Windows [version]", DO  
NOT ATTEMPT INSTALLATION. Instead, use the following steps:." I've followed  
all of the steps carefully so far including shrinking the volume in disk  
management. Can anybody help me with this please?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Installing Trisquel and gentoo on another drive, grub required?.

2015-09-17 Thread moxalt
I don't think so. GRUB only needs to be installed on the master boot record of
the first hard drive (or whatever media you have decided to set as the boot
media- this is usually /dev/sda or something of that sort), and (if configured
correctly) it will be able to boot into any installed operating system on any
other media, handing control over to it. Try installing Ututo on the second
hard drive- it will probably have options related to dual-boot/disk
partitioning in the installer, and will (hopefully) work out of the box,
probably setting up its own grub.cfg. If GRUB doesn't recognise, you can always
rectify the situation by chrooting into the second drive from the first, so you
should be able to get it to work one way or another. Give it a go, and tell us
what happens.

I always have huge doubts regarding the quality/extensiveness of the effects  
of "100% free" settings on non-free distros:
What guarantee me that they go as far as Trisquel and parabola with packages  
content?


I guess that they use the ebuild LICENSE, but will using the "deblob" USE  
flag change iceweasel in iceweasel-libre, blacklist non-free dependencies and  
ajust the other USE flags accordingly, and prevent the suggestion of non-free  
programs, including in the manuals? both require patching the programs.


I personally fear two things:
-> Be mislead and install non-free software without knowing that it's  
non-free, that's why I need the suggestion issue fixed on all the repos I  
use. I don't know all software well so I very strongly prefer to trust the  
distro to do it correctly instead. Suggestion is so vague that it could also  
be in form of a package manager (firefox, iceweasel) or as a dialog "would  
you want to download " with some cryptic language.

-> That part of a package is non-free.

That said Gentoo seem very interesting. I am very attracted by the  
possibilities of customization, but I probably don't have the computing power  
to use it, and I'm waiting for a free version to give a try again.


The downside is that, "verifiable builds" wound probably not come any time  
soon due to the huge number of possible combinations when building gentoo.

If so, don't change anything. Stop dealing with the mount thingies, or trying  
to change the bootloader since you don't need to.


Go to Trisquel, open the Terminal, and copy-and-paste the following:
 sudo rm /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD  sudo update-grub

Still, hm, this is what I did:

I had xp and 7 installed,

Tried to install Trisquel from USB

Used option: other/ make own partitionsnot install alongside 7. I choose  
mount at /  not /bootor any of the other options in that drop down menu.


After that Grub failed. All options in the menu failed except start  
Trisquel.


This was the only option not asking for a user and pass. 7 boot menu,  
advanced options, edit menu all other options did ask for a user and pass and  
after pressing enter the only thing happening was that the bootmenu was  
displayed.


So, you say it wasn't my choice of  /  as a mount? I have no idea what else  
it could be.


Always when I install Linux I can't boot Windows afterwards.

Do you know a bootmanager that will find all OS present and put them in a  
menu to boot?


Or do you know where to find a clear instruction on how to manually operate  
Grub to add any operating system present?

But I don't destroy a possession of mine, why it isn't evil and commonly used  
too. I think the manufacturer should be sued for this. Personally I wouldn't  
do this alone at this time but would find others for it first. Possibly that  
company would be undone of all profit it has ever made. Possibly a big debt  
and not even breaking even with the costs it had so far. I'm serious.


If I choose the option: Install alongside Windows 7, where will it get  
harddisk space?


Something was about that, that is why I ask.
To keep this post simple, not too complicated I only ask where it gets  
harddisk space. If you are interested and ask I will say too why this is  
important.

if you installed them along side each other then you could chose how much  
space each of them get from the hardrive

So what are the basic steps to install W7, XP and Trisquel without a problem  
with Grub that usually causes a boot problem. Windows versions are no longer  
available.

I don't think I should do this. There must be a simple reason that blocks it  
from functioning well. Do you know anything about mounting? ''/ '' or  
''/boot''? How influences it if Trisquel will boot?

Hi, I'm going to have a look at it.

Mounting is something like making a folder take you to a specified partition  
when entered. I think it's got nothing to do with your problem.


I think you should take a look at  
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/strange-grub-behaviour-trisquel-7#comment-57418


It basically amounts to removing or commenting all the lines in the file  
/etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD , and then running the command update-grub.


Commenting is adding a # at the beginning of a line, and makes the computer  
treat that line as nothing more than a comment (i.e. The computer skips it  
and it's only there for humans to read it, not the computer).

So basically, I want to have XP, windows 7 and Trisquel on my pc. I think it  
is wiser to focus on how that is done basically.


Information
XP and w7 were already installed when I installed Trisquel.

I couldn't have used the wrong username and password. I tried the one I made  
during install. I couldn't have used the wrong name/ password. I tried all  
other combinations as well: the name (Trisquel asks for a name and a  
username), and I tried the old username and password from the portable usb  
install. (to try this os). Normally in similar cases elsewhere it won't make  
a difference. And trying something like that is really somewhat dangerous.  
Approaching it this way causes a very heavy weight on me.


XP and w7 are 32 bit. Trisquel is 64 bit. I want to install this exact  
combination.



---
I think the solution is knowing how to install xp, w7 and trisquel on the  
same system.


Does anyone know a tutorial about that? Or can outline the steps? I mean very  
short and basic, and possibly a question about the outline.

Based on my understanding you've already got Trisquel and the 2 Windows  
versions installed, so that's actually out of the way already.


Now, on to the problem: The password problem. Is the password problem  
experienced in GRUB (In which case it's not supposed to be there, and is not  
what you set when installing Trisquel)?


If so, does the solution I suggested in my post (the one with a screenshot of  
the solution I was referring to) work?

Ok, I'm looking at that new link.

Long story short, after using my xp experience edition cd, xp was back (It's  
probably a GNU/Linux legal version of xp, everything else is ripped out,  
starts with approx. 100mb RAM. Windows 7 as well, the RAM-lock is removed by  
the Unawave program, and some other things downloaded it from torrent,  
somehow couldn't find it from the site).


Mistake with 7 cd/// doesn't matter/// in xp I deleted Trisquel and made a  
new swap partition.


I'm going to look at that link now. What I should know is, I think what the  
basic steps are to install Trisquel on a system with 7 and xp as well.


How is this:
1. xp
2. Trisquel - installs grub too
3. 7
4. use a boot program to recover boot. After recovery Grub is the boot  
manager. Boot program: Boot-repair-disk?   
http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd/home/Home/


I tried it already but it didn't work. It offers to send a report to an  
emailaddress and a reply. I haven't done that yet I think I should.
