Um, the OP wasn't talking of WiFi but the built-in Ethernet controller.
This is far from a (proper) answer to your problem (if at all which it's
actually not intended to be), but if you think you don't mind losing that
touchpad...then may I suggest

I thought that what you meant by it being bugged was the panel glitching out or
going white or something. I don't consider what I just posted as bugged- the
panel itself (that is, not the items on it) adjusts its transparency/opacity
level perfectly according to the slider. The panel in that
You're welcome.
You should probably put your network connection routine (ifconfig interface
up, wpa_supplicant -ddriver -cconfig -iinterface -B, dhclient
interface) into a shell script and then drop it in /usr/bin. Makes life just
that little bit easier.
Btw, do you have a graphical login
What do you mean 'not distributed on the package manager'? Nothing is
distributed 'on' the package manager. The package manager is APT. The APT
system downloads packages, installs packages, updates packages, and resolves
dependencies. The packages it works with are already binary packages parceled
The latest development in my desktop saga. I'm happy with this one.
ThinkPad X201: this will likely never be supported in libreboot, due to the
Intel Management Engine. However, it is possible to “convert” an X201
into an X200, by replacing the mainboard and palm rest. Send your X201 to the
gluglug, along with an X200 (note: not X200S or X200 Tablet)
That seems to be doing the trick! I don't know if it's actually placebo or
not but I browsed all over the net last night for about 3 hours with no
connection issues.
Which was the exact reason I wrote if you don't mind losing that touchpad.
I would certainly not mind losing mine if the laptop I'm typing this on had a
pointing stick (which it hasn't).
There is a license that contemplates this possibility. See the Copyleft
Sunset clause in copyleft.next. That said, I'm not sure what I think of the
idea. Being a huge copyleft proponent it's hard to get used to the idea of
deliberately giving it up. It's not clear to me if/what we gain in
The problem with mono and related software isn't the license but with
patents.

Not a place I would personally go.
ok, thanks for the info !
Hi, I know Mono itself is considered free software, however, I couldn't find
a reference
to a licence on the MonoGame website :(

Monogame is licensed under the Microsoft Public License. This is a weak

What do you mean by 'not distributed on the Trisquel package manager'?
IceCat can be installed using the package manager. When we say repo, we mean
the default Trisquel repo.
You can't switch licenses, but I think it's perfectly possible to grant an
additional license like that. People will still be able to distribute the
work under the GNU GPL, in your example, but would be able to choose the more
permissive license if they want to.
Of course, I am not a
Thank you for the replies. Curious though that IceCat is official GNU
software but not distributed on the Trisquel package manager when Trisquel is
backed by GNU. I will just have to install via binary or repo.
Yeah, there's still confusion on what an MIT License really is as the Open
Source camp just says MIT License while the Free Software camp goes no no
no, there are actually TWO licenses and no definitive MIT License
That's why I would rather go with the 2 clause (simplified) BSD license if I
oh ethernet, ya he'd have to buy a new computer then lmao.
wow thats hardcore.
So lets say someone wants to create a new free software license. For example,
using this license by default binds the user to the GPLv3 but if the
copyright holder of this new license dies or if the company goes under, it
switches to another license like one of the BSDs.

that looks bugged to me man, it doesn't look transparent, it looks blank,
and its supposed to be the whole panel. Its messed up, thats why I used
compiz.
This might not be related but I was having problems with devices being booted
off the WiFi network at home. Since my main computer is hooked to the router
via cable I was not affected but my son's Windows machine and his Android
device were loosing their ip lease for some reason. Over
No, but thanks for suggestions. I have no indicator-application-service
installed. In distros with Mate as the only installed de, the network
manager panel applet is accessible.
I have heard that the modern version of it is way more secure due to its
support of ecc. I would like to know therefore when or if it is possible to
run it on trisquel. I do hear it has more security than RSA and DSA.
Minimalist on the outside, bloated as fuck on the inside.
Just to prove that it isn't bugged.
I concur. I have always had a terrible experience using the GNOME network
manager, with all sorts of different cards. Thankfully, my current wifi card is
well-supported with free firmware, and so I do use the network manager. In the
past, I simply connected with wpa_supplicant before I started X,
It might be caused by Libreboot. I suggest you try and install an earlier
version.
