I can't think of a reason to encrypt the root partition.
If you expand the encryption to go beyond just ~/ then you also get things
like encrypted swap. Sure your documents might be encrypted, but when you put
the computer in hibernate and the contents of RAM can just be obtained
straight
You should go read up on BadUSB to find some answers to those very questions.

A USB drive, for instance, will take on the ability to act as a keyboard that
surreptitiously types malicious commands into attached computers. What might
those commands be and how might they affect your
I haven't done it. Just install like normally but choose the USB as target
instead of HDD. If there is a swap on the local HDD you could use that unless
there currently is a hibernation image.
When you (and others) say it takes a long time, what sort of time are you
talking about?
Is there a rough x minutes per gigabyte estimate or is it dependent upon
file size and type as well as on hardware type (IDE vs SATA vs SSD, for
example)?
I've never looked at encyption before. I have
OpenCores is a really awesome project one that keeps growing in bounds all
the time. Another one is RISC-V http://riscv.org/, these guys have actually
made it to early manufacturing stages and have a fairly solid roadmap to
actually getting these things produced by late 2015.
Thanks

The default install (no custom partitioning) comes with a swap partition.
If you want to suspend-to-disk (hibernate), it is necessary. If you do not
want any swap partition (RAM should then always suffice), you can boot the
live media again, insert your USB key with the installed system and
I'm having an issue with installing. I am using a Mac Book.
I have created my USB and everything is installed successfully but when I
reset holding down the Alt key I'm only being given the option to select my
Mac HD and not the USB.
Could you give me an easy guide on how to fix this?
Did you get the i386 version or the AMD64? The i386 version (32bit) will not
boot as it does not have the EFI boot loader.
Hi all,
running apt-get build-dep sylpheed I see some problems on libgtk2.0-dev
saying that libpango1.0-dev and libcairo2-dev are not going to be installed.
Trying to apt-get install them manually I have another message saying
libcairo2 (=1.10.2-6.1ubuntu3) but version
I think I've solved... by using synaptic to install libcairo2-dev, a few
dependencies have been ported to older versions and I'm now able to instal
build-dep for sylpheed!
Thanks Magic Banana! It worked on Trisquel 6. It's not difficult.

I suspect others are referring to the processing of wiping the disk in
advance. Depending on the specifics, like if it's a new drive or if the
information's somehow already been erased, it's not really necessary to have
the installer do that.

1.) Finish Trisquel 7 one of these days.
2.) Clone https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-core
3.) Make Trisquel specific changes.
4.) Create a repo for image at http://devel.trisquel.info/gitweb/
5.) Add to https://registry.hub.docker.com/
6.) Celebrate that there is another free software
Oh and one other thing. You could use the tar.gz core files from

when building the Docker image. Just swap with Trisquel packages of course.

*TL;DR: Looking for Linux AND Linux-libre, switchable in GRUB, to work in
Trisquel.*
Hi, so I'm transitioning to free software and I believe that using Trisquel,
even if not in a fully-free mode, is better than using Ubuntu or any OS that
recommends or includes non-free software by
Adding repositories for other distros is probably not a good idea as it can
result in problems.
Also, what do you need the other kernel for?
The Ubuntu wiki has a documentation on how to boot and install GNU/Linux
on the macbook.

Oh yeah, it's definitely not a good idea, but I didn't know how else to do
it. That's why I'm asking.
I need the Linux kernel for the same reason as Ubuntu and hundreds of other
distributions use it: OOB functionality, of course.
Trisquel's freedom dedication is a little too much of a
Maybe apple computers restrict what you can boot from usb.

An installed copy of Trisquel on a flash drive under any condition (disabling
swap, using special filesystems, including read-only) is going to be terribly
unreliable and slow. Anybody who has done significant testing in real world
conditions knows it just doesn't work. Once you start

I was actually hoping for something more specific.
Hello I want to debug a program that I was developing better so I ran
it and checked /proc/${PID}/maps for the libraries it was using.
So far I couldn't find any symbols or debug packages for the following
libraries (apt-cache search udev | grep dbg returns nothing):
I don't think all libraries have debug symbols available :(
In the future, Linux-libre will have a blobhush functionality allowing you
to install the blobs. Figuring out how to use it will be easy, but
Linux-libre won't suggest it.
I do not like the sound of this addition... :(
I have no idea about the 700MB CD image, I know the full release works fine
on a MacBook (run one myself). Try a different image (AMD64) and see if it
can see that instead?
As for MacBooks restricting booting, so long as it has an EFI boot loader it
should work fine. The real difficulty
I was avoiding specifics because I am afraid I'll get a specific answer. If
you must know, in this particular case, the need for full nvidia hardware
acceleration is the cause. But I was hoping for a solution that would also
work for, say, a laptop where I can't install updates while
This sounds great.
Since the user is clearly making a conscious choice to enable the selected
blobs, he is aware of the freedom he lacks, which means the
don't-suggest-free-software ideal is already conveyed. So with that out of
the way, it would be a useful and user-friendly feature to
Assuming your processor is from Intel (probably the case), it comes with a
graphical chipset that Linux-libre can *perfectly* drive. You could somehow
deactivate the nVidia card (e.g., physically remove it) and you may be
surprised with the performance of the Intel graphical chipset (e.g.,
Is this true? This is completely agaisnt free software philosophy, I can't
understand why they would make such and addition.
Useful yes, user friendly is debatable on who you interpret the user to be.
;)
Adds practicality yes, comprises a purely free system and adds restrictions
to the system as well.
I can see why people would want it from a functionality perspective but it
goes entire against Linux-Libre's
