Magic Banana and SuperTramp83 I thank you both.
I am looking forward to the arrival of my GNU-Trisquel-Laptop, meanwhile, I
am watching youtube tutorials and reading documentation.
I will do my best to be skilled at the command line.
This old man is not too old to learn.
I am concerned that I

i think so, there is a free one. they didn’t use it :(. i forget the
details. there where posts about it on arm-netbook the rhombus-tech
eoma86 mailing list:
Actually, they are updated. You probably are still receiving updates,
and most package updates come signed with upstream's credentials instead
of Trisquel's (the only way to obtain these credential is by means of
the owner of these). :)

LOL, Ha-ha so windows and macs were late to support USB3.0? Wow, I was out of
the loop.
Thanks Magic Banana for the APT Repository link.
I would assume so, unless you find evidence of the opposite.
Installing Japanese (Anthy) under xfce is easy, but at first it doesn't seems
so. But now that it works, how do I add the input method icon in the panel?
Yes, good reminder. Always read dem man pages!

Don't worry, your 3.0 ports will work just fine, no need to do anything about
it either, they just werk. :)

In synaptic package manager:

Do they have same limitations about file systems which shred has?
I don't know if this was already answered (I lost some emails) but it's
possible to install GNU Ring in Trisquel using the GNU Guix package
manager.
1. Install the GNU Guix package manager in your Trisquel. Pay attention
to the names ("Guix" is different from "GuixSD"), because you do not

The manual is indeed very good except that the section "STANDARD FILES" is
misplaced. It definitely is "ADVANCED".
SuperTramp83 I watched a tutorial that had a very long cli - I think it
included the computer name (very long), then something and the user name
(again very long) where the prompt had to wrap around and down to the next
line when the command, Arguments and Options were typed...
From that I
Everything that is in your software repository is free software, and when you
do a 'apt update && apt upgrade' or via GUI, the upgrades you receive are
also going to be and always only free software. That is to say, as long as
you use apt, there's no fear and no failure. What you need to pay
When running Uruk in a qemu wm I get a message, that it is working in
software rendering mode and there is no video hardware. It works bu very
slow. I am on an X200 (libreboot+trisquel) with 4GB.
Can this be solved?
To elaborate, the particular post appears to be here:

Linux has been supporting USB 3 since 2009. :-)
Now, if you indeed face issues with recent hardware, here is how to rather

Do not rename system files/directory. Ever. You can use a one-character
user name if you wish. You do not need a separate user for administrative
purpose: on Trisquel, we use 'sudo' to execute a command with administrative
privileges. With a 1080p screen, I needed a zoom too. I simply
The variable PS1, typically defined in ~/.bashrc (that is a hidden file
.bashrc directly in your home folder), defines the prompt. If you only want
a dollar sign followed by a space, you can append this line at the end of
~/.bashrc:
PS1='$ '

Hmm... Then this is explained as:
> minimal prompt would be " $ "
The default prompt looks something like:
user@host:~$
as per http://write.flossmanuals.net/command-line/customisation/
I'll play around with that, but it sounds good - even if the laptop build has
a messy prompt
The minimal prompt is nothing at all:

But with nothing at all, you do not know when the command stopped executing.
It is useful to always keep in mind who you are ('su' to change user) on what
system (e.g., when using 'ssh') and in what directory ('cd' to change
directory). Those are

This is a known bug, I'm not sure in what. The workaround is to add the
following lines to your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
MAC address randomization during scanning doesn't work, so you will have to
sacrifice some privacy.
Depending on the filesystem, it may still be wrong:

This uses many overwrite passes, with the data patterns chosen to
maximize the damage they do to the old data. While this will work on
floppies, the patterns are designed for best effect on hard drives.

I'm almost certain it would disable the GPU without causing other problems.
On the other hand, that's just a (somewhat informed) guess based on what I've
read about the Pandora; it's not yet confirmed.
Thank you! Awesome resource..
You do not need to know the command line to use Trisquel GNU/Linux. I know
it for a fact: my parents (~60-year-old, both accountants) have been using
Trisquel as their only home system for many years now, without much of a
problem, despite the 8775km that has been separating us for seven
This is not correct, senor GNUbahn. A phone without a sim card can indeed
make emergency calls and in many countries this is law, but it certainly can
not be tracked by it's IMEI alone. To track a phoon a sim must be inserted
inside the phoon. In fact if no sim card is present in da phoon
Indeed senor Bannanna :)
This is actually one of the greatest achievements of free software in the
last decade, making it grandma proof. If we want the gen pop to use it we
need to make it simple, as in point and click. Not everybody is good with
computers or actually interested in learning
You are doing it wrong, mateson :(
As mr. Magique wrote above you need to make sure you shred the original
unecrypted file.
shred -uvz file
This will use the default 3 passes. 1 pass is enough though. You can use
bleachbit to shred entire folders.
You can 'shred' the original file rather than only removing it:
