Re: [Trisquel-users] IceDove replaced Thunderbird.
Icedove (the one I installed according to the link I provided above) has certainly got it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
I used a wrong terminology. Shall I call it free software hardware?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
If you replace its nonfree VGA BIOS and revise the name to not use a noun + noun construction, then yes. If you call it hardware working with a free operating system, then it's completely clear what is ok and what isn't. (E.g. AMD cards aren't, while NVIDIA cards that ThinkPenguin sells are ok, despite having nonfree VGA BIOS and not being able to use all their features with Trisquel.) pgpnoA_kBpCzE.pgp Description: PGP signature

Awesome. That is what I needed. Thank you.

There is no full listing of nouveau free software pci e graphic cards? I could not find a graphic card on thinkpenguin.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Help! GUI doesn't install????
@Magic Banana This is pretty frustrating...sigh, still no progress. I used sudo vi to insert and save what you suggested into /etc/rc.local. Then rebooted, still coming up to terminal on boot. Is there any harm in using sudo service lxdm start longterm? I was hoping to take this laptop with me on a trip, and at this point I don't have much more time to invest fiddling with it. It's inconvenient, but with just a couple extra steps I do manage to get to the desktop where I can use Midori...I just want to be able to check my email while away... ):(

It's not an exhaustive list but what users like you and me submit there.
Re: [Trisquel-users] My country (Slovakia) purchased FinFisher licenses, how do I protect?!
Probably the usual: don't install random crap from the net but stick to the repos. Use the NoScript extension for abrowser and whitelist with care. Apply updates regularly. And don't run servers you don't need or have unused packages installed. etc etc Here's a collection of articles on finfisher http://buggedplanet.info/index.php?title=FINFISHER
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
The system should really install the bootloader before installing software after minimal so that a basic level of functionality is there in case of an accident.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
So I didn't restart the installer but I did everything manually. Simply, mount the hard drive you have Linux on. mount /dev/sdfoo /mnt Mount special directories mount /dev /mnt/dev mount /proc /mnt/proc mount /sys /mnt/sys Chroot into the mount chroot /mnt Install grub apt-get install grub Install the basic stuff /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sdfoo Update the menu.lst file update-grub And you're done

So I tried the unreleased 7.01 version and it works.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
Some caveats - a) I've never done exactly this so I can't promise it will work b) I strongly question the wisdom of running Trisquel on a machine too small to run the text mode installer. Having said those the procedure will be something like boot text mode install get past select language and keyboard Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to the second console Press Enter to start the Busybox shell Then where /dev/sdX is your root and boot partition # mount /dev/sdX /target # mount --bind /proc /target/proc # mount --bind /sys /target/sys # chroot /target # /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sdX # /usr/sbin/update-grub /dev/sdX # exit # umount /target/proc # umount /target/sys # umount /target # reboot That's how I got around a failed grub install due to a screen corruption bug with the Belenos betas text mode installer. But that was much later in the process, so it might not work for you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
Yeah, my machine has 4GB of space. I suspect the actual reason the kernel crashed was that I booted the machine in legacy mode and the legacy BIOS code wasn't tested with Linux so the kernel mapped special hardware memory as usable memory which caused bad things.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
Seems you did better than I could remember off the top of my head (i.e. /dev) in between the time I started typing and my next email refresh. :-) A pox on cheap BIOSes, I'm sure you'll agree.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is it possible to restart a text mode install that failed half way through?
So for other reasons (EFI support is flaky) I need to redo the above stuff with grub-efi but I also need to install grub-efi first. I need to get some network stuff running so I can do DNS inside the chroot and apt-get can resolve the archives. How do I get the net stuff working as well inside the chroot?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
tonlee: I could not find a graphic card on thinkpenguin. It's under Acessories Other Products, the GeForce 8400GS.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Help! GUI doesn't install????
No harm whatsoever. We precisely try to automatically execute that command at init! By the way, you can more simply write: $ sudo start lxdm In fact, you probably simply want to directly start the graphical session (without the login screen). I believe the following command does so: $ starlxde
