You are referring to /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf, right?  The whole file is  
commented on my system.

Let us see:
$ timedatectl status

Try to execute the following command in a terminal:
$ timedatectl set-ntp false

trisQuel is still communicating with the ubuntu servers.

NTP servers are necessary to synchronize your desktop clock.  Find a way to  
disable Internet synchronization on your desktop environment (something like  
"Time and Date" in a "Control Center").


there is guides for the mode-setting in USB to tell "ubuntu" that a given USB  
4G modem is a modem and not a harddisk.


Follow them: Trisquel 8 is based on Ubuntu 16.04.

Good catch, thank you.

Yes, the wpa backport is part of the same commit as the network-manager
backport, so I assume it is only there as a dependency of the newer
network-manager.

For those who have neither their system online nor the lower versions of the  
packages on their disk, these packages are attached to this post.  Bring them  
somehow (a pendrive, for instance) to the offline system, where, in a  
terminal, you will move them to /var/cache/apt/archives (here assuming the  
files are in the working directory):
$ sudo mv network-manager_1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb  
wpasupplicant_2.4-0ubuntu6.6_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives


Then, chaosmonk's commands will work.  Well, except that he forgot to mention  
that NetworkManager must be restarted at the end:

$ systemctl restart NetworkManager

@chaosmonk: downgrading only NetworkManager was sufficient for my system, but  
I imagine the reason to upgrade to a possibly less tested version of  
wpa_supplicant was to get a newer version of NetworkManager, hence the advice  
to downgrade both.  Am I right?
