So you are actually running the same kernel images in both distributions.
Interesting. But, yes, as soon as at least one of the distributions uses a
package manager, it must become a mess.
About the driver, you should try the latest Linux-libre kernel:
http://jxself.org/linux-libre/
I had originally intended to use the shared /boot partition to simplify
things, so I could use the same kernel and grub.cfg to boot up both systems.
But, that doesn't seem to work, because Trisquel uses an initramfs and LFS
doesn't. So, my /boot partition is becoming a bit of a mess of
I was surprised too. Glad everything worked out.
When I have one monitor plugged directly into the laptop and one monitor
plugged into the dock, I can see both screens. When both monitors are plugged
into the dock, the monitors operate in only mirrored mode at 1920 x 1080,
which is the resolution of the monitor with the lower resolution.
Does anybody know if there is a Libre-compatible Thinkpad which can achieve a
resolution higher than 1366x768? I read somewhere that one can theoretically
find a T500 which has such a screen, but all of the ones I have found have
something other than Core 2s on them.
I do not understand why having another system would prevent you from having
/boot on the root partition.
Anyway, it probably is easy to expand the /boot partition. It depends on the
types of filesystems on the adjacent partitions (in particular, XFS cannot be
shrunk) and on whether they
Assuming Trisquel 8 has the same utilities as Trisquel 7: are all screens
listed in "Displays" (in the "System Settings")? Have you tried changing
their resolutions?
So you actually removed the kernel that was running? Interesting. I thought
APT would not let you do that.
When I was running Trisquel 8 alpha 2, I was able to follow these
instructions to get multiple monitors working through my Thinkpad dock:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/638875/how-to-get-multiple-displays-working-with-docking-station
... Recently I decided to install Trisquel 7 and now the
Well, I have some complications, because I have Trisquel 8 and a Linux From
Scratch system that I am booting on the same laptop, so I want to have a
separate /boot partition.
I don't like grub-mkconfig either ... it usually just makes a mess of
everything :-(
I renamed and moved the update-initramfs binary, then replaced it with a
short script that removes the old image first and then runs the relocated
tool for the running kernel version. Seems to do the trick! :)
Nowadays, 100MB is not enough for /boot. Do not bypass the problem: solve
it. I would try to boot a live system, copy (with 'cp -a') the content of
the /boot partition on the respective directory on the root partition. You
can then delete the small /boot partition (e.g., using GParted)

Please refrain to present proprietary software as a solution. The objective

Last night I was helping my buddy fix his laptop. He's been running Ubuntu

built-in screen on his laptop is cracked and completely unusable, and he uses
a Panasonic TV as his monitor, connected via an HDMI cable.

Can I upgrade from an Uruk 2.0 beta to the final release, or do I need to

Does anyone know if or when Abrowser 57 will be available for Trisquel 7.0?
I really hope this user-unfriendly GRUB behaviour is fixed in Trisquel 8.
The main thing that's changed is mobile devices. Most people now own a
handheld computer that can't currently be used with free code software, and

I don't know if it's the case with Trisquel Mini, but with some other live

necessary to try out and install.
I agree with most of t3g's criticisms of Mozilla, but I have to correct the
erroneous claims about RiseUp.
"[Mozilla] own the RiseUp email site"
Mozilla have given some funding to RiseUp (mainly to fund the development of
the Tails GNU-Linux distro AFAIK), but they do *not* own RiseUp.

I agree. Things have changed a lot since 1999 (Intel ME, for example). With

extremely important, otherwise there won't be any free software/firmware any

You can type the commands in any terminal window. XTerm should do.
New versions of Firefox have a setting in Preferences > Privacy & Security:
"Allow Firefox to install and run studies". If I remember correctly, it is

I just wonder if they installed this add-on only for those users who had this
setting checked. I read Mozilla's apology

Installing the addon automatically was indeed a mistake. I believe that it

The addon in and of itself doesn't seem malicious, and because it is libre

If it is not already installed, you first need to install, with the package
manager, "linux-image-lowlatency" (Trisquel 7's default kernel, currently at
version 3.13.0.137) or any other kernel you would prefer (maybe
"linux-image-generic"). Then, you need to reboot on that kernel, choosing

unless your trying to use something like virtualbox 4.1 where it requires an

Waterfox, Abrowser or Iceweasel if your using hyperbola/parabola.
Mozilla is bad, but they are still better than any other option with the
exception of forking firefox of course. :)
