Re: [Trisquel-users] Video driver for a newbie
VB is non-free. The OP is trying Trisquel as a guest in VB or what? What is the host OS? There must be somethig I don't get here. Anyway, one doesn't install drivers inside a guest OS. The VB host provides for the drivers.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Video driver for a newbie
You need Guest Additions to get a better resolution in VB.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Video driver for a newbie
Thanks, that is the kind of help I am maybe needing. I will try that QEMU/KVM, there is a lot information on browsers about all this matter but it is filterless so it is not easy for me to discern which info is more or less serious.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Video driver for a newbie
Thanks for other replies, I tried GuestAdditions but it does not solve 100% graphic sizing issues. Anyway now I know there is another freedom tagged alternative I will try to do it that way.
Re: [Trisquel-users] ibus can only switch between two ?
Do you use plain IBus, or the MATE applet and settings? Plain IBus works fine; MATE only lets me have four input methods, but I need nineteen.
[Trisquel-users] Mouse click problems using trisquel 8 on T400s
Hi I have recently purchased a T400s which came with Trisquel installed. Release information comes up with: DISTRIB_ID=Trisquel DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.0 DISTRIB_CODENAME=flidas DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Trisquel GNU/Linux 8.0, Flidas" NAME="Trisquel GNU/Linux" VERSION="8.0, Flidas" ID=trisquel ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Trisquel GNU/Linux Flidas (8.0)" VERSION_ID="8.0" HOME_URL="https://trisquel.info/; SUPPORT_URL="https://trisquel.info/wiki; BUG_REPORT_URL="https://trisquel.info/project/issues; uname -a: Linux technoethical-t400s-b9d0 4.4.0-119-generic #143+8.0trisquel2 SMP Thu Apr 5 16:24:48 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Currently when I use it clicking the left mouse click button starts bringing up the right mouse click menu (which then causes me to inadvertently open all sorts). If I continue to try to use it for any length of time all mouse buttons become completely unresponsive. This is currently making the gui pretty much unusable. Hhas anyone seen this behavior before and know how I can fix it ? It came with it set up for a UK keyboard, but has a US one, so I have changed the keyboard layout from UK to US - not sure if that may have triggered the issue.

> in my case I am zero skilled so > I think I should start from a full installation. I was completely new to GNU/Linux when I installed Trisquel. There were a couple of challenges at the beginning, but this community guided me through them. Since you have a macbook your WiFi card probably wont work without proprietary firmware, so I'd get a USB dongle[1] first, but after that go ahead and dive in![2] [1] https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usb [2] https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installation-guide signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi Caleb Thanks very much, I found a work around. I left a trail of bread crumbs for others here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5920576#post5920576 Have a great day
Re: [Trisquel-users] Video driver for a newbie
yes, it is true I did not post full info. Host is MacOS, guest is Trisquel and I was trying t use it by means of Virtualbox. Now I am trying to do it by using QEMU, which has taken me to new obstacles I am trying to solve. I am new to GNU/Linux and I am trying to learn so I think I should do a full installation more than a Live one, maybe this is useful for people with skills who could see how the distro is, but in my case I am zero skilled so I think I should start from a full installation. Anyway I would like to know about your opinion on this Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mouse click problems using trisquel 8 on T400s
I also got problems with mouse and clicks. I solved the problems by upgrading more recent kernel 4.18.16-gnu. I have now 4.19-gnu no problems as well. How to upgrade your libre kernel you can read here https://jxself.org/linux-libre/ It is very easy to do.
