Cool, thanks.

I seem to have a file called xinitrc with the following line of code:
# global xinitrc file, used by all X sessions started by xinit (startx)
# invole global X session script
. /etc/X11/Xsession
in /home/usr/etc/X11/xinit

I have a file called Xsession in /home/usr/etc/X11
I've found the #initialise variables for use by all session scripts

Can't find the .xinitrc ... still looking for what to do with which files so  
I can log in again.

Thanks - I really oddly don't seem to have .xinitrc. Not sure what problems  
this could be causing.

This seems like a really neat solution, thanks. I really like the look of  
Guix as well. Glad I do not have to give up on protonVPN just yet.

I've given that a go, thanks. I'm still trying to log back on and trisquel is  
not accepting my password. I'm wondering if my password files have somehow  
been corrupted.

NB. I've just realised that can't be the case, as I can log in after pressing  
C Mod F2

Thanks for this. I saw that thread but wondered if anyone had any more recent  
info on this. 


[Trisquel-users] Desktop env/ window manager issues when logging in.

2020-08-31 Thread issybarrett-lally
I recently installed i3 after having played around with dwm a little. I think  
I may have altered the .xinitrc file when doing this (can't remember  
precisely!).


I ran startx today after installing i3, which sent me into dwm. Now I find  
myself unable to log in at all (when I log in I am instantly thrown back out  
again). I'm not sure what I can do here except maybe restarting in safe mode  
and altering the .xinitrc through the command line. Has anyone else  
encountered this?


I'm on a librebooted X200s. 


[Trisquel-users] ProtonVPN command line tool

2020-08-23 Thread issybarrett-lally
I cannot install this tool because pip is blocked on Trisquel because of the  
access it gives to not free software. I have managed to curl pip, which  
allowed me to install OpenVPN but not as root. Does anyone know if there is a  
workaround? Would it be possible to just make the python code required for  
this tool? Apologies if there is already a thread on this.
