my panel lost all manually icons when i added gnome-shell gnome-seesion to
Trisquel 6.0 pre-release. the default icons are still there, so its kind of a
revert to default here.
Horgeon, I installed scriptish as I see no other option on that page. I do
not have those options within the player even after the two installs. No idea
what's wrong.
I just noticed that when you open the system settings, there is no way to
close it! What??
Do you have a radeon gpu?
lspci|grep VGA
No, my gpu is a nvidia gt430.
Had no luck with Chris's or Horgeon's suggestions either. I could still not
login to a live session nor login to an installed session - entering my
password just returns me back to the login screen.
Scriptish isn't needed. The script works with either Greasemonkey or
Scriptish. Once you have Greasemonkey installed (you need to restart the
browser for it to take effect), you can install the script in

Mint has prided itself on taking the Ubuntu refugees by rejecting Unity in
favor of MATE/Cinnamon and recently saying they are staying with X around the
Mir announcement.
Mint 9 was my first time trying out GNU/Linux and it had its benefits at the
time. I never did like their custom update
Did you get that weird thing where the title bar disappears? That's happened
to me a couple of times. I have no idea why. In any case, it's pretty rare,
so it's more weird than problematic.
Did you tell the file manager to show hidden folders, as the name implies,
hidden folders are hidden by default. :) To show them, you can go to
View-Show Hidden Files or press Ctrl+H
I wouldn't say the Mint developers pride themselves in people switching
from Ubuntu to Mint, at least not openly. Some people made posts around the
lines of Ubuntu sucks, I switched to Mint and Clem came out in defense of
Ubuntu, asserting that they did not oppose Ubuntu (something about
Close system settings with 'alt+f4', like any other application window.
See this post from the forum.
Or you can disable Gnash in Abrowser Addons(Ctrl+Shift+A). After click in
Plugins at left side. Disable Shockwave Flash (this is the gnash-plugin not
flash).
In the press release for 6, Ruben mentioned a community-backports repo where
we can submit more up to date packages. How is the status for this? Will we
be able to submit a list of packages anywhere that will be reviewed and
eventually included? Will they have to be built from source each
They do want users to move from Ubuntu to Mint because that is potential
revenue for them. More users that donate or use their web browser with their
affiliate search engines is more money. Mint gaining popularity also
increases the chances of corporate sponsors joining them.
The problem with window probably is Compiz. You can change for Metacity
(default in GNOME Fallback) in the System Settings or install gnome-shell and
use mutter instead.
For install KDE version from Trisquel is very simple:
In Terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T):
sudo apt-get install triskel

Chris, not sure what you mean. Are you saying I shouldn't be doing this?
What is the difference between gnome-session and gnome-shell?
Yeah this is probably the best approach, I think.
Use LTS for now, but keep an eye on Canonical and if they get too out-of-hand
over the next few years, switch to Debian + backports.
I had this issue in a installed system when trying to use the
nodev,noexec,nosuid mount options in many partitions; I figured out using
nosuid for / and /usr prevents login.

I have talked to Clem personally about various financial aspects a number of
time and he has always been very adamant about keeping a distance from
corporate interests. Yes- they want to see the user base grow. Everybody
wants to see that. Unfortunately reporters, bloggers, and people like

I think the idea was that *some* people will be given access to a repository.
It isn't going to be a free for all. That would be a security nightmare.
He's actually a bit off; you need both.
gnome-session gives the regular GNOME session as a choice (which gives you
access to GNOME Shell). gnome-shell gives you GNOME Shell itself. I don't
know if they fixed the problem where they collided by default, but if not,
you can fix that by using
Chris,
I think you're on to something, Mint is way ahead of everything else on
DistroWatch right now.
I just installed sugar 0.94.1 on a Trisquel 6.0 Virtual Box install [1]

Yes- it has been for years. The question is more along the lines of how well
does distrowatch accurately reflect the overall distribution spectrum. It has
been stated many of times by many of people the methods uses are less than
stellar.
I think Ubuntu's drop in popularity has something to do with the fact that a
hundred other distributions are now pretty good for novice-level daily
desktop use ... Ubuntu no longer particularly stands out in that department,
even if it was a global leader a few years ago (try Ubuntu first
I'd be curious how much of that was actually Shuttleworth / Canonical's move
and how much of that was Valve. Canonical has been positioning itself it
seems to take on these kinds of 'jobs'. Given the amounts they are charging
it actually seems like the only logical market. It has the
Maybe it's a keyboard problem? Have you tried some braindead password with
only letters and numbers?
Can you login via VT? (Ctrl+Alt+F1)
If yes, you can change the password there with the passwd command.
Ubuntu will install a handicapped sugar 0.90 from it's repos
There are only 2 activities and they do not start.
Do I read this right, the version of sugar in Tris 6 don't work? If so,
please file a bug.

Actually I *can* login via console. A more experienced linux user probably
would have realised this straight away, but unfortunately my knowledge/skills
are strictly limited and so I only discovered this a couple of hours ago.
Once I had made this discovery, I also found that by switching
Thank you @starchild. That worked fine!
Anyone can work on maintaining a Helper:

Once you've made a Helper for your package sent a patch to the
trisquel-devel mailing list where it will be reviewed and feedback
provided or added:

Thanks!

It took a little more time than I thought, but it's ready now. This is just a
concept driver, but it should work out-of-the-box, no restart required. Just
plug in the dongle, install the driver (see README for details), and wait a

Isn't corporate sponsorship the end goal for a lot of projects? Mozilla's
sugar daddy is Google. The Python foundation has sponsorship from Google,
Lucasfilm, and even Microsoft. The Linux foundation, for which you all rely
on the kernel so much, has the big guns like IBM, Intel, Oracle,
A lot? I suppose ...
Definitely not all.

As for your kernel example, I'd say: you can have (corporate) money flowing
around you in a number of different ways without profit being your End Goal.
Conversely, you can have people dressed up like noble
The command 'apt-offline-gui' should be recognized (it is /usr/bin that
belongs to your PATH variable) although it may not run if you do not use
'sudo' or 'gksu' before it (to get administrator's privileges). Are you sure
the packages have been installed? For instance have you asked for the
No. That would be taking it too far. I'm just saying that the distribution
shouldn't be directionless. If the objective is a usable free distribution
for the masses (which I think is a fair description) having multiple desktop
environments needs to take a backseat to more pressing issues.
Unfortunately, it looks like you are right since the following command does
not return anything:

I for one think it's OK that you're doing this. That's what Free Software is
about.
Just don't expect it to be adopted as an official spin-off. There's always a
thousand and one bugs that come up even when you think you're done.
A decent theme for Trisquel on KDE would be a good start. You could make that
available, and move on from there...
There always seem to be major oversights like this with the Mini edition.
Ruben clearly doesn't have enough time to devote to it to make it adhere to
the same standards as Trisquel standard.
I feel like, at the same time he releases the standard edition, he should
announce an official
Thanks Starchild! You made that very easy to repair!
:) I think things are spread too thin as it is still. This move to LTS only
wasn't taken lightly. The development should focus on doing one thing right.
I'm using a desktop environment I can't stand right now. However it is better
for it to work than be something I prefer that doesn't.
Would you drop Mini if you were Ruben? :)
I do feel like Mini, and lightweight distributions in general, are getting a
bit less relevant than 2010 when Mini debuted.
The generation of computers that required Mini and couldn't run the standard
edition is fast becoming extinct.
