David

Have done Ctrl+Alt+F1 procedure with the modification to ~/.profile

A procedure that has solved the problem.  I can now get the the installed
Trisquel 11 System using my user name and password.

Could Trisquel automate the process when one uses the Guix Package Management 
Tools.
It has recently become very cumbersome to set up a Trisquel System for 
development 
work.  My basic system involves having recent versions of GCC, Emacs, TexLive, 
and 
Python.

In practical terms, after installing a new Trisquel System I always have to

1. Increase root partition size.
2. Install Guix Package Manager.
3. Install GCC, EMACS, TexLive, and Python; all via guix install.
4. Perform the changes to ~/.profile

Installing Emacs and TexLive directly from the sources have recently become so 
labourious that the only solution for me is to use "guix install".

GCC is currently manageable and usually get things done in a few hours without 
a guix install.

Should I do this (from Try LIVE System), or the other Ctrl+Alt+F1 way?
I decided not to encrypt the disk, but enabled the LVM option.

I have not tried, no.  I got into a Trisquel 11 LIVE CD trying to accesss
the original system.  But because of the LVM setup I got stuck from doing
the next steps.

If /dev/sda4 is ciphered, then 

sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sd4 cryptlvm

Then the volumes should be visible as /dev/mapper/vgtrisquel-root and
/dev/mapper/vgtrisquel-home, you can mount them as needed.

If the volumes don't show up at all, try

sudo vgscan
sudo vgchange -ay

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LVM has good guidance on LVM.

Did you try to log in from a terminal in text mode? (like Ctrl+Alt+F1).

If it works, the problem might be solved by the addition to your .profile
that is described on https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/gnu-guix-package-manager.
I copy it here but my email client is certainly breaking lines;

cat >> ~/.profile << EOF
export
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share:/usr/share/\${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:}\$XDG_DATA_DI
RS"
EOF

[Trisquel-devel] Pasword entering phase repeating itself

2025-06-01 Thread Heime



Have been getting a recurring problem when starting Trisquel.  I get asked for 
my password.
But after I enter it correctly, Trisquel takes me back to the password entering 
phase
all over again.

And thus I cannot enter into my system at all.
