I can't resist
I'm probably old enough to be your mother, but I have the same problem with
dating and had to end a romantic liason with an otherwise pleasant gentleman
who couldn't seem to understand why I didn't just install Windows so Yahoo
messenger will work and we can cyber.
It felt
Well cinnamon is not the standard desktop of Trisquel. So it is not very
likely that anyone is experiencing your issues.
From my experiences you now have two possible approaches (given you have
another working (!) PC for searching the www):
1) Look through all logs in the shell after boot
You've got RTC alarms, which is what the kernel / BIOS uses to wake
up the machine.
If you look at this page
https://www.linux.com/learn/docs/672849-wake-up-linux-with-an-rtc-alarm-clock/
You will see if there's any output from
cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
Then you have an alarm set.
The feeling of being 'left out' is very powerful. It's so hard, sometimes I
get such a strong desire to have a smartphone, use Windows, watch soap
operas, read the gutter press, support a football team, be just like everyone
else, even though I know I'd hate it, even though I've spent my
There just isn't any legitimate reason to claim that GNOME Shell is
horrible or terrible. It's just different.
Have to disagree.
Unity/Gnome 3 broke a number of standards and principles for no good reason.
The most important one is that GUI standards were pretty much universal,
whether you
Generally we don't need to install drivers. It might lack a free driver. You
can try installing the latest Linux-libre kernel to see if that supports it,
e.g. via http://jxself.org/linux-libre/
If that doesn't help, you could get a supported wifi, e.g. from
IIRC it's hold down shift throughout boot to get the grub menu
This is correct.
Yeah... which is why it's OK to use software under a license that's ethical
even if it has practical problems.
I might understand, for example, avoiding software under the Netscape
licenses because the copyleft not applying to a particular organization is
too unethical for you. (It isn't

However, it was tested with Trisquel 5.5. Can you please test it with
Trisquel 6.0 (and use the latest Linux-libre as lembas suggested) and report
the results
Whenever you write Linux, you actually mean GNU/Linux. Properly giving
credits to the main project behind your OS matters.
Then, I repeat, GNOME Shell is a very efficient interface when controlled
with the keyboard. More efficient than GNOME 2. You should try it. Sure,
there is a need to
Sorry, but being different is not a legitimate reason to say that it's a
terrible design.
But being unituitive is.
Note - I didn't say it was unusable, nor did I say it was broken. I said it
was badly designed and unintuitive and it is both of those.
That it is learnable is not in dispute.
It looks like many users like GNOME Shell (at least in this forum);
I did not claim that nobody likes it, I pointed out that many didn't. There
is not one iota of untruth in that statement.
You can (and do) use another desktop;
Which was said in answer to the baby duck syndrome label, to
That doesn't mean the license itself is not ethical. All free software
licenses are. The version of the BSD license with the advertising clause is
free, but not GPL compatible because of the advertising clause. That doesn't
mean you don't have all four freedoms. Strong copyleft licenses
How is it unintuitive? I pointed out that being different doesn't mean it's
unintuitive and that it's very easy to find a detailed manual that will tell
you everything you could possibly need to know about GNOME Shell. Just saying
that it's difficult to learn does not make it so.
It tries to kill the unnecessary overused task-bar and try new ways of
working.
That would be the taskbar that's used in hundreds of millions of desktops,
the world over and is the basis for collating shortcuts and various other
information feeds.
Sorry - unnecessary and overused are
thanks!
I think that the problem is that while you understand that your preference is
just that: a preference, you are forgetting that your preference doesn't make
GNOME Shell's design choices horrible, and that things that are different
from what you are used to are not necessarily unintuitive.
Version 2.0 of the MPL is the future of the license and 1.1 licensed software
can be migrated to version 2.0, which is GPL compatible. Maybe you can email
the authors to make the change?
Trisquel 7 will be based on 14.04, which will use a version of Gnome greater
than or equal to 3.8 that has an improved classic desktop:

Thx a lot Damián; extension linked by you works perfectly in combination
with media.gstreamer.enabled set on true inside an about:config. (=

Poor ole Richard Stallman is stuck on his Yeelong netbook since no other
totally free hardware existed at the time. Isn't it time for an upgrade and
if so, wouldn't it be nice if he could use Trisquel?
So seeing that Think Penguin is a trusted company making libre hardware, is
it possible
+1! I can use the shell, but prefer not to, so, it's flashback or xfce for
me!
thank you!
I am not sure if you find it a stupid question.
Why is it not in the ppa:linux-libre/rt-ppa ?
I think that I've read here, that MIPS respects freedom, while x86 is merely
free sw compatible. I'm not sure of the details, or what it means to RMS.
Maybe one of our friends could explain?
well i figured it out now
the thing is how you partitition the hddd
you need to make one logical that is ext4 journal modethat is a root
