Does Trisquel boot correctly, from the hard drive you installed it on? Did you
have to chroot into it and grub-install to get it to work? Did you install off
a USB (in my experience that always messes things up- every USB install has me
chrooting in with a live CD and setting up GRUB manually).

Thank you for doing that. Sometimes I forget, we have to go where the

Much appreciated! Thank you.
Why not just use Icecat full stop, and not have to deal with Abrowser's
frequent silliness?

I have both installed, as you recommend. After my latest system
upgrade, I find that all my extensions, plugins, and search engines
still work; am using searx as my default. I haven't tried installing
new addons since, however.

Why are you even using UNetbootin? It has the potential to create all sorts of
mystifying problems with the boot process, even long into the actual existence
of the installation.
Just prepare a boot USB with dd from the official Trisquel netinst/ Trisquel
standard image, as per the instructions

That's not a problem particular to this update; Abrowser has the default
Firefox search engine list installed by default, as far as I can recall. I
still have no idea why Trisquel promotes Abrowser as part of the

My problem with the post isn't the solution offered. It very well may be that
it's the easiest or best solution. My objection is in SuperTramp implying

Hi there,
I have the same issue after updating Abrowser today. I'm also using Trisquel
6. I will check if that also happens in Trisquel 7 as well.
I believe this is a big issue, new users might thing Abrowser recommends
Google as a search engine.
Hello all,
I am just posting this as a warning to everyone else who might come across
this. The most recent update to Abrowser just reset my search engine
preferences, and added several other search engines including bing and ebay.
The default search engine I got after the update is Google,
I am using 32-bit Belenos (Trisquel 7). Got the same bug with the same
update. Firefox are making major architectural changes and feeding updates
down the pipe thick and fast of late, perhaps ABrowser maintainers are
struggling to keep up? Does anyone have the skills to help?
One solution
I also noticed ABrowser asked me about sharing data to help developers
improve performance. Clicking on the request opened the preferences to a
check box for 'Enable ABrowser Health Report'. The 'Learn More' link opened a
generic license page in the Trisquel documentation. Does checking this
So I've reinstalled Belenos again (same hardware). Trying to follow my own
instructions here. Both "sudo update-grub" and "sudo update-grub2" return the
same response "command not found". I'm mystified, and feeling more than a
little frustrated. Any suggestions?
Openmailbox.org are endorsed as an email carrier by the Free Software
Foundation, and they also run an XMPP server. I haven't tried it yet though.
Hmm. I wonder why it's not working reliably for me. I just got another
second-hand laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook) and tried to install Belenos from the
same boot USB I made with UNetbootin in Toutatis. I used the text installer,
which seems to have installed without a graphic desktop. Worse, it
Actually I am reporting my experience. I ran:
sudo update-GRUB2
Which did not work. Which is why I said "NO CAPITALS". The correct command
is:
sudo update-grub2
OR as pointed out by Moxalt and Magic Banana:
sudo update-grub

I believe you can't edit the first post of a thread and posts that have been

Trisquel on a phone would be great, but as the link you've given says, it's
not even on the cards yet. There is Replicant, which is a great project, but
so far it only supports the handful of devices that CyanogenMod supports.
Even if there was a 100% free OS that worked on all Android
To solve the problem of being able to boot just when the USB device is
present, and so be able to boot without it, follow this instructions:

2. Use either a file manager like Nautilus, or the commands to mount the
