The last3 updates for Trisquel broke my system. I'm not sure how to report
this, but essentially there were no icons available on the bottom bar. I was
able to manuever to the system partially thrrugh some of the file icons on
the desktop, and when I tried to remove those three updates that
You can also install some themes from the package manager. Just search

Here is the documentation to update the Linux-libre kernel.
I used version 6.0 and when running update manager (gnome-session-bin,
gnome-session-fallback, gnome-session-common) the taskbar also broke then
blocked update them in synaptic.
In 6.0 the fonts settings are a bit different. Now I do:
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
sudo rm --verbose 01-trisquel.conf
sudo rm --verbose 59-droid-serif-fonts.conf
sudo rm --verbose 60-droid-sans-mono-fonts.conf
sudo rm --verbose 10-hinting-slight.conf
sudo ln --verbose --symbolic
Hi everyone,
I've installed Trisquel 6.0 on my desktop computer. Everything worked fine
during the installation and the updates.
But yesterday, on two occasion, the screen was frozen. I could move the
mouse, but couldn't clic anywhere, and there was nothing I could do except
rebooting with
It no longer matters, as I now have an Internet connection. But I really wish
things weren't so error-prone without one.
Welcome to the Trisquel forums! :D
What kind of video card do you have?
What kind of hardware have you got? Open a terminal and input

Hi,
It's a NVIDIA Corporation GF119 (Geforce GT620)
Hi, here is the lspci result:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor
DRAM Controller (rev 09)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor
PCI Express Root Port (rev 09)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7
According to this post[1], the Nouveau driver should work for that card.
But on the 3.8 kernel, it seems that Trisquel 6.0 includes the 3.2 kernel[2].
Thanks for the links, lembas. I was about to ask someone to help with that.
:p

That's a fairly new system all right. You might want to try a newer
Linux-libre kernel.
Here's the source if you wish to compile yourself
www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/
Here are prebuilt binaries

:) Great minds think alike!
Is the 3.5 kernel not sufficient for the hardware you need? There is the
lts-quantal kernel (3.5) in addition to the standard 3.2
I've install the new kernel, but now my screen is stuck on a 800x600
resolution.
I'm working on it...
Hello,
I'm using http://archive.trisquel.info brigantia as my repositories and I'm
not getting the offer to upgrade to 6.0 from the GUI or the command line. Any
help would be appreciated.
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new trisquel release
No new release found
I'd suggest going to exaile.org, and getting the sources tarball. There
should be a text file, with dependences and such. Before building with
the included 'Makefile', make sure you have the build dependencies, with
sudo build-dep exaile
Go back to the directory where you extracted the
Yah, that will work, and is easier; should have read down before hitting
that 'reply' key. LOL
Ok, I'm back with a normal resolution, I'll let you know if the frozen
screen happens again in the following days.
Thanks.

I ran Celestai for just a few minutes and the computer froze again.
Hmm..
Could you run the command below in the terminal and post the output?

Thank you for pointing that out.

Could you try the steps listed, then attempt to run Celestia again?

No, that doesn't work... It froze after a few minutes.
One more thing, now it's completely frozen, even the mouse. I could move the
mouse the first time only. And nothing works, I have to do a hard reboot
Xfce is a good choice if one is looking for a stable and basic desktop
environment which can also provide eye candy via compiz (but it isn't
integrated with Xfce's settings). If one also wants optional eye candy and a
lightweight desktop environment, perhaps enlightenment/e17 would fit
Ok, I just sent you the address. I have a few last questions:
When should I expect the package to arrive?
How will I be contacted when the package arrive?
Thank you again.
Still looking through some comments on that page.
It may take quite a few moments. :o
(Working on stuff, and tons of comments)
In the mean time, if anyone has any ideas, please post.
Thanks for your patience with this, ptifred.
You misunderstood me. I meant TP as ThinkPenguin, not as Trisquel Project.
You probably heard about the FSF hardware certification program (you can find
more details here) and these wireless USB adapters will also fall under this
category (at least not officialy yet).
I do have patience, don't worry. Thanks for your time!
On Slashdot a few days ago as well:

In this occasions, probably, you can reboot safely using the Magic SysRq key:

this out in another thread/topic).
No, even the magic keys do not work... It's really completely frozen.
It will probably be a bit longer than I thought. There is more of a process
than I realized. It *should pass* with flying colors though and they have
been kept aware of the progress. I'm handing over some adapters tomorrow at
the North East GNU/Linux Fest since John Josh (from the FSF) will

Sorry for the confusion.
How do you normally receive postal mail? It varies from country to country
although if they don't delivery daily you may get a call. There isn't any
signature required. It should take about a week in theory although customs,
slow/inefficient postal/etc could mean anything from a slight delay
Debian won't include the firmware in its main repository or on the install
CDs. It should go into a package with the carl9170 firmware eventually.
Not sure what your asking. There is no need to return it. Your testing has
helped. These are not exactly exspensive parts. It's the entire time
Enlightenment is a window manager, not a full DE, and it's a
counter-intuitive one at that. Avoid.
You're certainly free to install LXDE and boot into that. But keeping the
Mini edition to the same standard of stability as the main edition has always
been a tall order for this project. It's always been riddled with bugs and
oversights, in the versions I've tested.
By Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, AMD might even jump on the bandwagon and offer fully
libre 3D accelaration for their GPUs, too. That would seal the deal for us.
E16 was a window manager. E17 is a half DE. I mean half as it is the first
release to have the intention of being a DE, although they lack a lot of
common apps (but the underlying software (libs etc) is ready already).
I think that E18 by the end of this year will be suited for desktop use as
much as other DE's.
Here are some neat things you can do with E17 right now:

XFCE would get my vote, Using Gnome Classic just makes things feel old.
I'm going to be open-minded and watch the videos. Enlightenment is the one I
probably know the least about ... I've been avoiding it.
