Yea, that's why I miss virtualizing so much. It really is best to wait for  
the stable release when you need to get your work done. My gamer kid enjoys  
bleeding edge sometimes, but I stick to my Trisquel 7 on at least one  
machine.


You might be able to virtualize the 32 bit image. IIRC, you mentioned having  
access to a pretty fast and powerful machine.


But I digress.

everything is fine, I will dual boot it with Uruk. If not, we will wait for  
stable release. *** One of the slides has a mistake.. It says that u-rpmi

He's going to love it.

Thanks for the screenshot, MD. SHAHIDUL ISLAM. I'm going to sound like a  
hypocrite for listing my reasons for preferring 32 bit, since I miss  
virtualizing and am whining about needing DVDs and cheap used hard drives to  
check out 2.0.


32 bit machines are more readily available used and at prices that lower  
income people can afford. They are also more secure, since they do not have  
the backdoors that we know Intel has put on since 2008ish (Intel Management  
Engine) and AMD also has used for about the same time.


A 32 bit system will run on a 64 bit capable machine, but a 64 bit system  
will not even boot a 32 bit machine into command line. The ecological  
consequences of disposing of perfectly usable 32 bit machines affects all of  
us.


hth and /soapbox /ot and thank you, Hayder and Ali, for continued 32 bit  
support in Uruk.

This error is caused by weak digest algorithm (SHA1) SHA256 is recommended, 
therefore you should report this to uruk developers.

You should import the repo public key:

Download the public key from the website
 wget https://jxself.org/gpg.inc

Verify the fingerprints of the key
 gpg --with-fingerprints gpg.inc

Make sure that you see:
 Key fingerprint = F611 A908 FFA1 65C6 9958 4ED4 9D0D B31B 545A 3198 
 
Then add the key and delete the gpg.inc file
 sudo apt-key add gpg.inc && rm gpg.inc

Try to update and see if it's resolved
 sudo apt update

Right now I have a netbook asus 900ha which is 32 bits, I installed Devuan,

based on Arch without systemd aren't so stable, and it is only x86_64. Arch  
based distros without systemd need a lot of work. Maybe Void is great  
consideration, but I don't know what is their philosophy.


Re: [Trisquel-users] Uruk GNU/Linux 2.0 (Beta1)

2017-09-02 Thread .
Yes.

 Uruk is downstream from Trisquel Flidas which is downstream from Ubuntu
Xenial Xeres which is downstream from Debian Jessie so it uses systemd.

If you are looking for systemd-free alternatives, you might consider
devuan, freeslack (no 32 bit support, but 64 bit looks good), and/or
hyperbola[1].

That was what impressed me about the alpha. I don't know what I was
expecting, but I wound up giving my DVD to the daughter who had never
used Gnu/Linux instead of the daughter who was getting "nice fresh .isos
just like mama used to burn!" in her care package.

The final LTS release is seriously going to be my go-to recommendation
for new people if you guys keep this up. ;)

This is a very special project. It's been an honour to "know" Ali
through the Trisquel project and then to see Uruk come to fruition.

That you kids would choose to use the calms in the storm in this manner
restores my own faith that human nature is not intrinsically evil and
that there is hope that life could still turn out to be something beautiful.

In any war or big problems, there are calms between storms. There will be  
days when we lose faith. Days when our apps, DE, and codes turn against us.  
But the day will never come that we forsake this project and his community.

hello, my name is Hayder Majid and i'm going to tell you story:
when was begin to working on uruk 2.0 we decided to moving to another DE,so  
we choose cinnamon DE to make it as the default DE, but unexpected things is  
happened , because cinnamon is lacked for a lot of accessibility features, so  
we moved to gnome DE, but as usual,  gnome has a lot of bugs and crashes  
windows (the main feature of gnome shell ) ,so we thing it's like the free  
software lords punished us for leaving mate DE, because it's never  
disappointed us in version 1.0, so we returned to our holy DE  , with more  
customization and a lot of features to avoid similarity with trisquel 8.0 ,  
and hoping that punishment will be removed.



today we happy to release uruk 2.0 "lugalbanda" (beta-1) with many features

-based on core trisquel 8.0 "flidas"
-mate DE 1.12
-linux-libre-lts 4.9
-gcc-7
-possibility for installing GuixSD package manager
-possibility for installing rpm packages and installing programs from source  
using one command
-new customization ( login screen , themes, cursor, background, installer  
slideshow ...)

-uruk welcome screen
-uruk software center ( uruk GNU/Linux version of Lubuntu software center)
-compatible with accessibility
-fixing a lot of bugs

with more things you will discover it.
