That's what happens when using the Radeon driver without the proprietary

Hey guys, I AM leaving Trisquel. But this time, is not even because of any
fail of the OS at all. Let me explain.
OK, I had problems installing 7. It's my Mac's fault, because EFI sucks and
whenever I try to load a CD it gets ejected. I could still have tried to boot
the OS, but maybe it
Ah, I see. Thanks. :)
6.0.1 is just an upgrade of the CD. You can install Trisquel 6.0 and run the
regular upgrade, and that'll bring you to 6.0.1 (though it'll take a while,
since there are a lot of updates).
I think sooner or later, I will give up on trisquel too.

The ['Trisquel 7.0 does not have amd display driver'][1] thread is very

Repeating my [comment in another thread][1] here:
I do have an Intel CPU, however I do not want to open up my laptop and
physically remove the graphics card, but rather configure my system not to
use it. How can I do this?
[1]:
If it's possible to do so, it would be a BIOS option, but I don't think it
usually is.
Opening a laptop up can certainly be intimidating. Just don't pull on
anything too forcefully, and take your time. It might also help to do some
research, or ask the manufacturer for help.
I have never made any changes to the BIOS on this computer. Since I didn’t
have the issue on Trisquel 6, it can’t be a BIOS option, can it?
I'm not sure whether Gnome Flashback is maintained anywhere but Trisquel and,
maybe, Debian? Mate seems to be getting a lot more attention. Last time I
looked at a distro based on Manjaro, there was a so-called Gnome Classic,
done as shell extension(s).
I just upgraded Trisquel to the newest version.
Can someone please tell me how to disable this annoying voice describing
everything I click on?
What is that even good for? I don't understand what the purpose for it is.
I think sooner or later, I will give up on trisquel too That's sad.
I haven't made the battery status disappear, but have noticed that checking
the boxes for percentage and time doesn't seem to make a difference; I get
only the time, no matter the state of these items.
Happens for me too.
It's an accessibility feature for blind people. Disable it in the system
settings.
Trisquel automatically enables it if the live CD is booted and recieves no
input.
Please don't recommend doing that. 5.5 is based on 11.10 , which reached EOL
in April 2013 I think, and there's a lot of security bugs besides Shellshock.
Anyway, 6.0.1 should be fine and is still supported.
No, I mean, there might be an option in the BIOS to disable the Radeon card
so you don't have to physically remove it. But probably not.
I see. What is it called exactly? I can't see anything like that in system

Anyone knows how to do it?

Now that Trisquel 7 came out where I can download the 6.0 release?
Nevermind, it is working now. I don't know how but it's normal again.

not just use Debian, which is free software as long as you stay
Avoid non-free and contrib and Chromium and you'd probably be as free as

And Linux-libre would be a wee bit of a plus point, I guess.
I think you can just take Trisquel's new presumably fixed Bash and install it
there.

I haven't gotten any updates on my GnewSense VM for a long time; I think it

Thanks, but that appears to make no difference at all.
Fedora's Gnome release (21 beta) has an entry for Gnome Classic in it's

I also tried removing xserver-xorg-video-vesa, but then I got no graphical

Well, the Debian kernel doesn't have anything nonfree in it. The only problem
that FSF has with it is that it suggests the installation of nonfree firmware
if your hardware requires it to work.

Credit should be given where due (e. g. Debian and Canonical). I'd like a
better accounting of what happens to donated funds.
Applications-wise, wouldn't one of the Ubuntu spins like the Mate edition be
as free as Trisquel, if one doesn't activate the non-free repos and never
uses Software Center? I realize a few binary firmware blobs would stay if
the stock kernel used.

I've never been able to install gnewsense on my laptop. The installation
process always fails.
So, one can have a system like Debian or Ubuntu, consisting only of the free
things, taking care to avoid the non-free recommendations, and it would
essentially be Trisquel? I wonder if the responsibility to use the freeist
options is on the user, and isn't this where it should be?
I gave Gnewsense a quick look and found, immediately, that everything is so
very old! I think the latest release had kernel 2.6.something; networking
never worked; accessibility was tough to get working; there was more.

Here is the question that I ask to everyone, Why did we join Trisquel?

I'm pretty sure that graphics card is too new. None of the current generation
NVIDIA stuff is well supported. Although they made some major headway from

-I haven't got any problems withy Verison 7
-You can stay at 6.0.1
-Not that it matters as long as you stay free (not something too hard to do
in, say, Debian, or I think Fedora (and thus CentOS as well?))
The part about switching back to Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OS was
sarcasm. I'm never switching away from Trisquel. I feel very comfortable
using Trisquel so far (despite some design flaws here and there, some of
which are annoying but have workarounds), however I do realize some people

the burden of proof is on the party claiming something is less restricted.

Yes, you are right but I'm not the only one in his/her own madness;
everyone on this post seem to expose their inconvenience with Trisquel
without any kind of logical connection: they took the original post theme to
express their feelings towards free software and the world in general.
Installing it adds GNOME entry to lightdm. Choosing it doesn't start any
DE, if gnome-shell is not installed. If it is, then it just starts that.
Yes, this is a Trisquel 7 issue. I can (and have) easily reinstall the
printer application and not use the control panel applet, however this may be
an inconvenience for other users.
What's wrong with Chromium btw? In the past, it got negative press for
including some software that had unclear licensing, but wasn't that fixed?
Its still a really nice browser and I'm sure that Trisquel could include it
down the road if some things are blocked like Google integration. Just
Wait a sec... I can install Unity in Trisquel 7??? I know in the past it

Is /home mounted to a separate partition?
If yes, then just make sure you don't format that partition when installing

It seem it still is...
