For anyone trying/testing trisquel 9, Jenkins doesn't seem to be building all
of the working package-helpers, so I have put my local builds of everything
that's working for me here: https://www.randomroad.net/trisquel_deb/
They're not signed, no release file etc. so you likely shouldn't

I definitely see the value of a fully libre distro that made decentralization
and anonymity a focus. Have you looked at Heads, a fully libre spin on
Tails?:

I have installed trisquel 9.
I am missing these packages:
pidgin, libpurple, lightdm-gtk-greeter, redshift, abrowser.
Just a note that I've started updating a few package helpers so I could
sbuild some things that are on my laptop. I've made some merge requests on
the trisquel GitLab instance... they may not be perfect but I've been able to
sbuild working debs for etiona with these changes.

Yes, Tor Browser is *ALWAYS* releasing a new version every week it seems
like... sometimes even more frequently... although rarely it is less.
You can use the tor network using GNU IceCat web browser, or you can download
the TorBrowser from the web site. Would be a waste of time packaging
TorBrowser because new version are released too quickly.

seriously as a distro creatives could depend on. The most problematic aspect
I have seen with GNU/Linux is the audio config requirements. Anyone can use
an audio optimized distro, but people who need audio to "just work"
I lost track of this thread. I will at least bother to reply here.

I hope it is not a problem to use this thread as a Trisquel 9 Wish List.
I don't like the panel on the bottom having second-floor buttons. I think
mouse users would go quicker having all the buttons down there, at the very
bottom, despite they had to go smaller.
I might be going too far
Does Ubuntu 16.04 include exFAT support out-of-the-box? If not, could
exfat-utils and exfat-fuse be added to Trisquel 9 to allow it to work with
large SDcards formatted with exFAT? See:

It's only been a year or so since the beginning of development on Etiona was
announced:
https://trisquel.info/en/trisquel-90-development-plans
... and already we have a testing release, this is great news! My testing and
hacking time is now going to be split between figuring out if I can
I agree with chaosmonk that Trisquel is intended as a common-or-garden
desktop distro, not a multimedia studio. But I would love to see an
up-to-date libre distro (or flavour) targeting the needs of the multimedia
producers who use distros like UbuntuStudio, Artix, or AV Linux.

I don't think that it should by default, since this would mean things
like a low-latency kernel, which most users do not need, and JACK
instead of pulseaudio, which most users *really* do
I would love it if Trisquel would come preconfigured with very good audio
production settings/ software. I found recently that Ubuntu Studio really
shines in this way, especially in the very latest version.
So, I'd like things related to JACK, Ardour, LMMS, Carla, Cadence, etc should
exist in
My X230 with coreboot and intel me cleaner on it, currently has trisquel 8 on
it with your linux-libre-lts mostly because, linux-libre-lts is more
stable/new and also odd errors appeared when I tried to install *mostly* full
disk encryption without /boot not encrypted.
So yeah... but long
I recommend anything that uses mpv as its base. :)
Including, baka-mplayer.
If you need a gui that is...
Besides, mpv works with url's pretty well. :)
A good idea. I just want to try Trisquel 9 on a Skylake desktop to see how
well are the graphics and audio (both require certain non-free blobs)
supported by a free/libre distribution. Another option is the deblobbed
Debian (without any non-free firmware), but I may want to try both.
This. I use soundconverter for any media I want put in ogg format for my
rockbox. device.
> I could never install a working version of minitube.
It's been a year or so since I tried to get Minitube working, so my
memory is a little hazy, but IIRC the problem had to do with Minitube's
use of Google's API. From [1]:
> Google is now requiring an API key in order to access YouTube Data
Hi ! It's the same for me : I could never install a working version of
minitube. Musictube would also be a good idea.
I like to have a working version of minitube
Good news !
I'll have a look Ubuntu Mate in an unused laptop.
For those like me that have no idea what debootstrap is :
https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap
Icewm running on Trisquel 9
Another option can be to use debootstrap to install it onto a spare
partition. Install a kernel, configure GRUB and ta da.
Great news! Thanks for informing.
"suggestions of new preinstalled packages"
yle-dl (download Yle Areena streams)
https://aajanki.github.io/yle-dl/index-en.html
It's included on OpenBSD, Fedora as far as I know of. It can be installed
from the source or using pip, but nothing beats the convenience of a
precompiled package.
An important task is to test ubuntu-mate 18.04 and see what can we
incorporate from it, how does it compare to Trisquel 8 desktop, suggestions
of new preinstalled packages, or config settings, etc.
As you can see from
http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/dists/etiona/InRelease Etonoia is
currently only being build for amd64 and i386 but my understanding is that
other architectures (like ppc64el for IBM POWER8 and above like Talos II) are
on their way in the future.
From the weekly Freedom Fridays development meeting in #trisquel-deve on
irc.freenode.net we have news that Trisquel 9 aka "Etonia" can now be
debootstraped normally, so you can build your own Trisquel 9
development/testing environment. Rubén installed it on a laptop for a test
and got as
er; that should be #trisquel-dev
