Yes it's installed, I understand my mistake from the terminal I type : sudo lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings and the window open and I can change my settings. Also I have installed (and trying) Slim... both are very ugly... I now switch back to Trisquel Mini 8, Etiona is a nice adventure for me but I miss the simply rock solid Flidas

My understanding is that Linux-libre cannot load non-free firmware. This is not by design, but an unintentional side effect of suppressing error messages that might "induce" the user to install non-free firmware. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

> hello @chaosmonk I find https://packages.ubuntu.com/ > I grab the file from here Yes, for example, get lightdm-gtk-greeter from here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/lightdm-gtk-greeter Click on your architecture, and download the deb. Install it with $ sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb or graphically using gdebi. If you are missing dependencies you will have to install those first. This is not an ideal way to install software. It is better to use the package manager. However, if you want to get lightdm working this is probably the quickest way until it hits the Trisquel 9 repo. Alternatively, you could use another display manager for now. Slim is already in the repo: $ sudo apt install slim signature.asc Description: PGP signature

> is not possible to install lightdm-gtk-greeter, the package is missing, and also abiword is missing too... I see, these packages have not yet been pushed to the repo. > what if I "take" the packages from Flidas? I would instead grab the Bionic debs from packages.ubuntu.com and install them manually (let me know if you do not know how to do this), so that the version match what will be in Etiona. I don't think that we will modify Ubuntu's version of abiword. We did modify it in Flidas, but only to address a bug which has been fixed upstream. Our version of lightdm-gtk-greeter will be a little different from Ubuntu's, but only for cosmetic purposes, not freedom issues, so it should be fine to use Ubuntu's version until Trisquel's is ready. Once it's in the repos, "apt update && apt upgrade" will replace Ubuntu's version with Trisquel's.

many thanks pal, I read on your link, to see Grub simply I can press ESC without modify anything. If I resolve some small problems maybe Etiona can be my daily driver. First problem: it seems Lightdm is not installed, but Synaptic says Lightdm is installed. Do you have the same problem?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
Solved! Now I have Trisquel Mini 9 up and running on my netbook :) I made a fresh install of Trisquel Mini 8 whitout encryption and with the access to Lxde without put the password in Lightdm. I follow the instructions to upgrade by MD. Shahidul Islam and now I have Trisquel Mini 9 Etiona! In the next days I made many text to use and configure. I have one question, the Grub is now "invisible" how can I configure to have it back?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
Is lightdm the login screen? Because I've also gotten stuck after decrypting the system.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
hello I follow your instruction on a new trisquel mini installation but after a reboot lightdm doesn't start. there is a way to repair it please?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
Good to hear, thanks for clarifying it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
At first I install trisquel-8-mini. Then run: $ sudo apt update.

as far as I know, LXDE and LXQt are separate desktops. Maybe LXDE is no longer actively developed, but it's still separate.

I mean, Wikipedia. Trisquel's page says "Default user interface: LXQt and MATE (9.0 or above)". It would be saddening if they dropped LXDE. Tell them they needn't next time you meet them. :)

It should be something like "trisquel_8.0_amd64.iso". Where did you get this file? Did you rename it to something without a file extension yourself? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
When trying to install Trisquel 8 netinstall, is there anything special that needs to be done? I had been doing 'Sudo dd if=~/Downloads/Trisquel-netinstall of=/dev/sdb bs=1M; sync' When trying to boot from parse isolinux usb in libreboot it doesn't recognize usb. Works fine with both Trisquel 8 - mate and Trisquel 8 - mini, also tested both out GUI and text mode. Do I have to go to the GRUB cli to do netinstall? I'm trying to do the second method that you stated with absolute minimum Trisquel install before changing repository sources. Thanks!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
> Do you know how I can get the iso for Trisquel 9? There is none yet. I think that we are close to having a netinstall image ready, but progress is slow. For now, I can think of three ways to install Trisquel 9: * debootstrap: This is probably the "right way" but not the most beginner friendly one. * Upgrade from Trisquel 8: I've tested upgrading from a fresh, minimal install of Trisquel 8 and it worked fine. Upgrading from a system with more packages installed might or might not work well depending on what you have installed. See here[1] to see which packages are currently still broken in Trisquel 9. * Migrate from Ubuntu 18.04: I haven't tested this at all, and I don't recommend it for now. Among other things that could go wrong, I don't think that all of Trisquel's branding and artwork has been package for Etiona yet, which shouldn't be a problem upgrading from Trisquel 8 since the artwork will already be installed on your system, but would be a problem when migrating from Ubuntu since Ubuntu's artwork/branding will need to be replaced.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
I tried it and when doing sudo apt update then sudo apt upgrade something broke hahaha. I don't know if I 'technically' updated to Trisquel 9 but I ended up reinstalling Trisquel 8 from scratch just in case. I read a post by Chaosmonk saying that he did it with the Trisquel netinstall, but when I tried to use the netinstall (libreboot or pc idk which) wouldn't recognize netinstall usb as a bootable drive even. So im kinda just stumped :P
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
I've been a Debian unstable tester for quite some time. Agreed, I often encounter bugs, but they got fixed very soon, sometimes even before I could submit a bug report. So when it comes to making a choice between stability and latest packages, I'd gladly choose the latter without any hesitation.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
What do you mean, that you can make the newer packages work in Trisquel 8, or that it has the packages (albeit older versions) that "still work" in the same way as the newer ones?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
IF I am correct, you have to upgrade it the same way as you do on debian or devuan. Change the repos from Flidas to Etiona. But before you do this, verify from Jxself if I am indeed correct, and if its worth it... I don't want your comp breaking because of me. ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
Do you know how I can get the iso for Trisquel 9?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
I believe every package in Trisquel 8 is LTS and they do indeed work, but some features are missing. When trying to diagnose something I end up needing a newer version, but I don't wholly trust debs even from the official websites. I've seen the Trisquel 9 code page on http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/dists/etiona/ but I have no clue how to derive an iso from here.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
I am using trisquel 9 and I am happy with it. Some packages are missing from repos.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
You can try Trisquel 9 but be careful. Is there something specific you need beyond just "newer packages"? Because these packages in Trisquel 8 still work.
