You could also write custom suspend scripts to unmount before suspending and
mount after. Dunno if the fact we're talking about /home makes any
difference.
The reason is simply Trisquel 6 is based on Ubuntu 12.04.
You can see if upstream versions are still free software and if the present
libraries are new enough to run them. (Note that if you manually install
something outside the package manager, it will not get automatic updates.)
Beaglebone Black is not free last time I checked.

Yes, but their best product seems to be the following:
You may install Mate-Desktop 1.4 and Tilo-menu 0.2 (which is a fork of
GnoMenu to Mate).

This is very good.

Try either .bash_profile or .bashrc
For any command that needs to be run as root, you'll need to fiddle with the

(as the default runlevel is 2)
It's quite complex but you can get a dirty hack going...
450MHz will do just fine with software less sucky. Such software ain't that
well known, though, finding and using them requires some dedication and

I removed all of the other kernels I had and reinstalled the working 3.2.0-38
one. But when I rebooted into GRUB, I couldn't edit the boot options. I
booted anyways.
My system is now unbootable!
sorry. you're right - it wasn't polite or helpful.
On the other hand adding fortune to ~/.bashrc is one of the best ideas I've
ever had. :)
fortune is fine, 'cause it's a text application. you don't want Xorg stuff
running from a .bashrc (in case you aren't actually in Xorg)
Yes and you don't need to run it every time you pop up a terminal window.

Trisquel secures grub by default making an user and a random password for it.
To know the password execute: $ cat /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD
Also, you can edit the file and comment it to set no user and no password.
The username is grub.
Greetings Ladies and gentlemen, I use Dabian as my primary OS and I'm sick of
the Brodcom wifi card, It is a painful limitation.
I was trying to make experiments and tryed to change the debian kernel and
every time I switch the core, I have to reinstall and load the b43 f** driver
again
I use this one, and it works perfectly.
Using the 'service' command, the 'disable' operation is not allowed for
upstart jobs. Does this mean the only way to disable such a service is to
move its '.conf' file out of '/etc/init'?
I replaced my laptop's Intel Wireless card (which requires non-free firmware)
by the following card, purchased on eBay for 10 bucks:
Atheros AR5B95 AR9285 802.11B/G/N Half Mini PCI-E Card
Works like a charm with Trisquel 6.
THank you.
Will it work like the integrated cards?
I didn't consider that option because I thought you could not change the
hardware components iof a laptop.

The main differences are how fast they are, how big they are, what their
range is, what version of Linux they need, and what they plug into. Some of
the newer ones can work with old versions of Linux, but because the necessary
firmware was proprietary until recently, you need to add on the
The last time I checked, it isn't the driver that isn't free (b43),
it's the firmware. I heard that it is possible to use the openfwwf

Thanks to all!
The way you're meant to disable Upstart services is like this, in a terminal:
echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/ssh.override
Basically, to disable a service with a config file named ssh.conf, you make a
plain text file named ssh.override with the word manual.
This is what I do when I install

On many laptops you can change the WiFi card. On some you can't because of
digital restrictions or because the original WiFi is non-typical. What I
would do is try and see if it works.

Try changing permissions of the file (may it's owner too). Then you'll get

Remember to change permissions back to its original form.
Thanks for the clarification.

As far as I understand, there is no need to update the kernel anymore. It
used to be useful to get this adapter working on the latest Trisquel.
However, the package open-ath9k-htc-firmware has made into its repository.
trisquel-base even depends on it. So if you still have that meta-package
If you only add the sections where you do not want the defaults (and let Xorg
use its defaults for the rest), there should not be any issue. If
/etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist on your system, you can create it. You
obviously need the administrative privileges to create/modify that file.

If there is a backdoor in Ubuntu, it very probably is implemented in the

software. You can read all the code. And everybody else can. Nothing
proprietary is imported from Ubuntu: only free software.

If you decide to replace the internal WiFi, take a lot of patience and do NOT
