[Trisquel-users] disabling secure boot

2018-04-26 Thread Mason Hock
Yesterday I tried booting Trisquel 8 on a friend's Acer Aspire running Windows 10. I was unable to do so, due to Secure Boot. I tried disabling Secure Boot using guides like these, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/disabling-secure-boot

The Libre Kernel is a Kernel that is clean of blobs or possible non-free firwares also in the repositories. So if in any case you need install any firware you are alone to do it manually with or without any help of people on foruns and without technical help (documentation) of the distros

Running Qt-written small desktops is also recommending to the rest people, LXQt (BOTH Parabola, PureOS, Devuan, Trisquel), Liri (Parabola only, using Wayland protocol that needs SDDM or GDM), Openbox/KDE (PureOS, Devuan, Trisquel only)

Many thanks to all your answers and explanation, what deblobbing true means. It is sad, that most of the wifi cards do not working with libre kernel, but for now I understand the reason. I will use small USB wifi dongle from TP Link, it works well with Trisquel without any issue. Maybe in

It may be worth a shot. I did see Unity 8 in the repo, but it depends on packages that are missing from the repo. I did think to try Yunit, but the website was down at that time.

https://trisquel.info/en/browser Should give you a working addon manager page. It works on my Trisquel 8 box. Type in Ublock Origin in the search field and it should find the addon. Then scroll down and click on install.

A page like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ has its "+ Add to Firefox" button disabled. I believe that quidam sets an older and more common user agent to mitigate fingerprinting and that it makes Mozilla's site identify the version of the browser as

The problem looks much worse than only not being able to get a graphical session. You cannot even use 'apt-get'. It looks like the problem I faced when upgrading Trisquel 7 with this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test I ended up doing a fresh install.

I have a question on Abrowser. Perhaps someone could help me with that. I tried to install some addons like "ublock origin" and "https everywhere", but that just did not work. Do I have to do something to enable the installation of addons, or is it just not possible? Now for something not

Some might have it, but I'm not currently focusing on that. You could mention it in the textbox on the checkout page, and I'd see if I have one that has it. Some X200 Tablets have it, some don't, according to thinkwiki.

It looks like the problem may have nothing to do with the display manager (LightDM) and everything to do with the X server (Xorg). Try to simply launch, from a text session, a graphical session without a display manager: $ startx Any error message?
