Thank you for mentioning that. I was just trying to make my post more
readable as ">" doesn't give good enough visual separation.
I was also wondering how to get
Nice! Is it usable on the "MATE Terminal" that I currently use in Trisquel 8?
I'm fairly new to the concept of free software and tinkering with devices in
this manner, I didn't quite understood how I install it.

Testing as you suggested:

Nice! Is this normal usage in Trisquel 8 (see screenshot)?
Any good sites for torrents?:)
I have posted several posts the last month asking for tips to how to watch
youtube videos without supporting all the bad stuff that come with it. I
would just like to summarize what I have learned and maybe others can fill in
what is is missing.

See the reply from bill-auger on the same issue in gnu-linux-libre
mailing list ([1]). Long story short: even if youtube-dl, ViewTube,
YouTube All HTML5, VLC and such like are proven to be free/libre
software, this doesn't chnage the network effect. The only change that
can happen is people being
I think you were quite correct in your assumption Senior Super. It also seems
as though I only need to type:
sudo apt install mpv
to install the package.
Where do I get avideo?:)

mps-youtube, you'll find the project on github, it's a very sweet program.

agreed, indeed I did that too :)

Oh, I thought you were using Trisquel 7.0..

As far as I understand something is wrong with your youtube-dl. Well, is it
installed? :)
sudo apt install youtube-dl
> How is that inconvenient?
Private mode cleans cookies on each exit and I don't like having to re-login
to sites just because I restarted the browser.

Just a side note: Pixel trackes are not JS based. And you can

Unless you have a dozen heavy browsers opened, absolutely not. You are using
3 gb of RAM. How can you actually use 3 gb of RAM, is that even possible? :P
(just joking, but yeah that is some high usage of your RAM. You have plenty
I never solarized the mate-terminal but here is the way to go ->

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/oz123/solarized-mate-terminal.git
cd into the folder and run the script
With that GRUB configuration, the latest kernel should boot by default. I
can take a look at your /boot/grub/grub.cfg if you attach it to a post but I
do not promise anything. It may be that libreboot's things interfere.
Older kernels do not substitute newer kernels because if, for some
Here is a DEB package:
https://notabug.org/GPast/avideo/raw/archive/2017.9.27/avideo-2017.9.27.deb
With GDebi installed (the package "gdebi" is in Tisquel's repository, ready
to be installed from the package manager), you can install a DEB package by
double-clicking on it.
I don't know anything about grub boot menus beyond pressing enter to make it
boot faster than the auto timer. I'll have to do some learning.
I can't attach my grub.cfg. I get "validation error."
The fail hilarity continues.
I did: sudo apt-get upgrade, and many packages got upgraded.
Next time I ran the Trisquel Software Update, it offered to update
linux-libre kernel to 4.14 lol. (Hasn't done this before, not even when I
installed the linux-libre-lts myself at the command line.) I
TEST: Grub.cfg after copying it to ~/ first and chmod to 777, and then
gzipping because of the forum's extension restrictions.
Figured out how to do removals:
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-xxx-lowlatency
Ugh. I spent a long time writing a message and then accidentally deleted it.
I can't afford the time it would take to fully reconstruct it, so this will
not be the full response that many of your points deserve.
The forum is mirrored to a mailing list which you can join here:
A way to prune old kernel versions: sudo apt-get autoremove
The package manager keeps the current kernel version and the previous version
just in case so two will always be there.
My boot menu does not offer any "advanced options". Is there a hotkey to
press? See attached.
If it helps, the behaviour I observed was on an old Dell Optiplex 745
workstation (2.13GHz dual core Intel Core 2 Duo E6400) that solo-boots
Trisquel GNU/Linux 7.
I also don't have LibreBoot installed on it as I don't have the necessary kit
& I'm not sure if the motherboard is compatible.
It is a known issue: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/23280
I hope it will be fixed in version 57.

Result: Lots of background communication, even after tightening of settings.
Worse than Firefox.

Well, I can describe my procedure, yes.

OpenSUSE either in their build of Firefox or elsewhere in the distro?
Yes, although I am not talking about Firefox ESR
Hello there, new to the forum.
I have pre-ordered a x200 from https://store.vikings.net/x200-ryf-certfied in
