You might want to try the recordmydesktop package. It supposedly grabs video
and audio. It's got a GTK frontend in gtk-recordmydesktop package.
This is such an important issue! I keep wondering what else I can do.

What sources do you use?
If you have the 6.0 on a USB stick, you could of course just install it. Just
make sure you choose manual partitioning and choose to NOT format your
existing home partition. (Then again, even this won't be a problem since by
now you surely have a backup! :)
After you've installed package PACKAGENAME, you can use the following command
to find the binaries (executables) it contains dpkg -L PACKAGENAME|grep /bin/
Those might be GUI apps or not. If you omit the grep part (|grep /bin/),
you'll see all files in the package. Looks like that python gpg
That's right. And at partitioning choose the old root (/) for root and select
to format it and choose the old home for home and DON'T format it and the old
swap for swap.

Wow, I wouldn't touch that with a 20 foot barge pole.
You also probably have several kernels, by default new ones get installed but
old versions aren't removed. And the default kernels are quite hefty because
they contain so many drivers. You can remove all but the latest version. Open

My question is, how have you kept yourselves on the right track this entire

Strange. Try removing any i386 (32-bit) packages. No idea how they ended

Generally speaking you compile from source. And hope you've got new enough

possible to have different versions of libraries on your system too but
that's beyond my abilities.)
There might be a precompiled version

Hey shokin!
The risk of getting a keylogger is small if you stick to programs in the
official Trisquel repositories.
You don't need an antivirus. There are no GNU/Linux viruses.
Heh, true, actually just like any other web page.
I too think this sounds like Nautilus. If Dolphin proves too heavy (some KDE
progs tend to) there's pcmanfm and probably others.
I don't know what they mean but they don't sound dangerous.
Do I need to mark this solved, somehow?
We don't have such a feature here.
Glad to hear you managed to figure it out. Put that insmod in your rc.local.
You can include the setpci command in the resume scripts. Read pm-action
manual page, that explains where the resume scripts are.
What exactly happens?
Dunno if it's the official way but you can control touchpad behavior with
synclient. Read the synaptics man page to see how it works.
I'm sure it's possible to disable Caps Lock but don't ask me how. Some custom
keymap or something.
If my search engine-fu is strong, seems it can't be done. A design
decision.
Perhaps the easiest way would be to try another dm, e.g. lightdm or kdm.
Maybe those would be more sane.

Try. If after removing it the internet don't work, replace it with something
else. Like the DNS from your ISP or anything you like.

No arrows here either. I would have no use for them because I use the

The first file for the Intel IGD stays at 250 no matter the brightness
level.
You could try changing this to 255 to see if that makes any difference. This
might fry your hw, no idea.
The first 2 seem interesting. Check their values as you change brightness.
They probably change between 0 and 255.
You can try editing those files as super user. (Weird thing might happen if
you should input a value outside of the range.)
Look at the first 2 for intel.
Can you change the brightness with the Fn keys? Have you checked out what the
corresponding brightness values are in sysfs. Maybe it doesn't go all the way
for whatever reason but can be manually adjusted.
You can probably find the correct file with
find /sys -name brightness

Those are meta packages depending on the real deals. And dependencies are not
removed when you remove a package. So you need to pop open synaptic and
search for linux-image (state:installed) and remove the ones you wish.
I believe what you're looking for is the openjdk-7-jdk package.

Yes, that can be so. But perhaps the latest kernel contains a free stack,
it's easy to test.

The probably cause is it requires a proprietary firmware to run that is

How exactly did you try to update the kernel?
Not familiar with the program. Does it give you an error message? If not, you
could try running from command line to see if you get a error then.
As a workaround you could take a screenshotty, hit PrintScreen.
Please, could you put examples of good server machines that runs entirely
with free software?
That's probably another tutorial! :)
