Why don't you also help with getting a free software OS out the door? Your complaining messages don't motivate people to help, don't help the new version come any faster, and if anything is a distraction.

Or they could finish the Trisquel 8 release and then start work on Trisquel 9... Seems perfectly reasonable to me, given how close Trisquel 8 is to a release.

How about you spend less time attacking people personally and more getting a free software OS out the door?

t3g, if you came to the Freedom Fridays meetings you would not be saying these things. You don't even show up to the meetings on IRC and instead sit on the sidelines and complain. 18.04 will be Trisquel 9.

Since I couldn't boot into the laptop's hard drive, I booted Trisquel from the USB-connected external hard drive, removed all the old linux files from /boot in the external hard drives's operating system, then executed sudo update-grub followed by sudo grub-install /dev/sda. That restored my

Yes t3g because criticizing someones hard work when you do nothing to contribute is totally a good way to show you care. Yes this totally moves Ruben to want to work harder. Indeed, feel free to flame him as much as you want. I am sure that will make him work harder. And I am sure that

After getting the missing updates through Synaptic Package Manager, I removed the older versions from /usr/src and from /boot, and then ran sudo update-grub and sudo grub-install /dev/sda5; I picked sda5 because that is the location of all the other versions of linux-headers ... but it didn't

Wow this is really not helpful. Don't forget you are emailing a list of volunteers, your not returning a broken toaster at Walmart. For what it is worth, I am very grateful for all the hard work that has gone into Trisquel. It's been grate for my business and home! Wish I was in a better

Trisquel 8 isn't fully out and its based on the soon to be 2 year old Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. At this point, it may be wise for the Trisquel team to start fresh with concentrating on the newer Ubuntu 18.04 code when it releases in April 2018. I hate to have seen this project die out and these

The same dilemma occurred again ... in March 2018 ... on another computer. This time, things were so tightly filled up that Icedove wouldn't open, Software Updater balked, dpkg --configure -a returned a "no space left on device" error, and the console even crashed when I tried ls on /dev/src.
