A problem with this is that whilst it's relatively easy to get all the
proprietary software for free from torrent sites, there is no motive to try
libre software other than from a moral point of view. So you could try to get
youngsters to try Ardour and free synths, but if they can get
arielenter, I second what you said.
Hi everyone, i'm having a big issue with trisquel 6 with my Aspire E1-522 A6
5200. Trisquel doesn't recognize my network card, it doesn't allow me to
connect my pc on the internet. Anyone knows how to solve it?
Interesting point of view expressed in that last link. I've not heard him
speak before.
To my mind there's a minor problem with his point of view. He says that the
behaviour of large software based Corporations is froth rather than substance
and that to focus on that is to waste time.
It
For example, if I buy, on ThinkPenguin.Com :
- this computer (with Trisquel 6 / 7 / ...) and
- this printer,
will it (be possible to make them) work together ?
The idea is to use one computer with Trisquel (without any proprietary
software) and any peripheral (printer, mouse, external hard
I hope they will keep using GNU/Linux and not come back to proprietary
operating systems.
Would be good that others towns and cities adopt Trisquel. ^^
All of you, read this: http://techrights.org/2014/08/19/munich-astroturf/
The printer will not work in Trisquel 6 (at least out of the box) because it
requires a newer hplip version than what coms with Trisquel 6.
I'm using gnome-shell Trisquel 7 I18N 64-bit, so I know it should work.
Try updating you packages before installing:
sudo aptitude update
I'm more familiar with the output of aptitude, so try installing with it:
sudo aptitude install gnome-shell
You don't need to install the Mutter package.
Ah !?! isn't there a way to make them (laser printer and trisquel) work
together ? I don't want to come back to inkjet printers.
Hi, I would like to fix my numeric keypad because it does not display numbers
for user loggin session in trisquel 6 .
Could anyone lend me a hand , please? Thx.
Like Chris said, it will work at a basic level out-of-the-box, just not with
all of its features. To get full support, you can either do the thing he
mentioned to get full support on Trisquel 6, wait for Trisquel 7 to be
released, or update to the Trisquel 7 pre-release.
Does it work if you enable Numlock? This can be done automatically by
installing the package numlockx.
HI, thanks for responding, i had to unistall trisquel (wich was indual boot
with ubuntu) because i had problems with the UEFI bios, so, i reinstalled
ubuntu. This is the output from ubuntu 14.04 LTS. But i want to use trisquel
too.

If there isn't a a solution, could you consult me for some hardware
compatible with Trisquel and GnewSense? I'm assembling a Pc for my home and i
want to install on it Trisquel and GnewSense in Dualboot. I want that PC to
be Free as in Fredoom! :D
The easiest way to get hardware compatible with free/libre software is Think
Penguin:
https://libre.thinkpenguin.com
That store only sells hardware that works with entirely free/libre systems.
obscurité has first tried to get some help on the French-speaking forum:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/paver-numerique-d%C3%A9faillant-pour-login-session
He is actually talking about the numeric keypad of a virtual keyboard:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_keyboard
Hm... I did some testing with Onboard (not in the login screen, I don't know
how to get the on-screen keyboard to pop up there), and what I found was kind
of weird: I found that I was able to type numbers with the numpad, but only
if before that I pressed the Num Lock key each time.
I have a Samsung ML-1610 (monochrome) - it's worked perfectly with every
distro since the day I acquired it, about 10 years ago. Samsung used to
provide Linux drivers (they still might), but it works 'out of the box' these
days.
Yes. Echoed here also..

That is terrible hardware when it comes to free software support. You will
not get any 3D acceleration from the Radeon card and your Wifi chipset is not
among the ones Linux-libre can drive (it requires a proprietary firmware):

I have numlockx package already installed and password is not recognized.
Actually, your wireless will work with only free software. It's just that you
need a newer kernel which has the driver. You can get a libre kernel from
Trusty by running:
$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-trusty
I tried this and it didn't work. I get to choose GNOME at login but only
loads background and shows network notifications up right corner.
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-session gnome-shell
I then tested this because my thinking was that Trisquel 7 is based on Ubuntu
14.04
Here is a database of hardware if it supports freedom or not. Not much
hardware is in that database but choose laptops and choose A premium. Don't
forget to read the comments and search a bit more on that machine.

After asking myself why there was not a libreplanet in UK for better
part of a year I just created one.
I am basically learning as I go along but in case anyone from UK happens
to be in the area: please say hi.

There are actually a lot of other problems besides non-free graphics and
wireless dependencies. HP, Lenovo/IBM, Toshiba, Sony, Apple, and Dell all use
digital restrictions for example. This does happen to mostly impact wireless,
but is a distinctly separate issue. What it means is that you
Let me make a small correction about support in Trisquel 6 for this printer.
The printer itself will work 'out of the box' in some sense of the meaning.
While Trisquel's printing wizard won't auto-detect the right driver the stock
postscript driver included in Trisquel 6 will work with it,
I've had some bad experiences with Samsung printers. It was with one of the
early low end laser printers in fact. It's the same with HP I believe. In any
event despite Samsung clearly advertising support for Linux, they only
provided proprietary drivers for a few distributions. I believe it
I'm currently testing Trisquel 7 (trisquel_7.0-20140807-i18n_amd64.iso)
on VirtualBox 4.3.14 and at times when I occupy the terminal feel a
little slow (lag) when working on the same. At other times get me the
following message:
no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking
D'oh! I did not see the answer to my problem until you send my email.
Sorry!!! My fault ;)
