Just as an experiment I recompiled abrowser from source from the Trisquel
repositories. It took nine hours to complete but the end result was no
different. I know that if I download the official Firefox 32-bit binary

@alucardx Yeah, I think this is an important issue. I don't have the skills

Did all that already. Didn't work. That sda5 beast wouldn't come off there.
But I finally got it off, as you can read in my earlier posts. What you
suggested here in your post might work now, but it sure didn't work before.
I will give it a shot later. Thanks.
Correct.
You need to read my post again. I put the old Saucy Salamander disk in and
booted and installed, thus allowing the installer wipe the drive and install
everything fresh, making its own partition (which, once again, did not wipe
off the sda5 partition, the partition that I did not

It probably did wipe the old sda5 and then make a new sda5. You need to
select manual partitioning if you wish to have any control of the process.
And GNU/Linux.
Why exactly is sda5 unwanted? Is it because of the high number?
When installing Trisquel, I usually setup one (small) primary partition (/)
and one (very big) logical partition (/home). Swap is usually a couple
hundred MB big (depends on different factors) and sits at the end. The /home

Now, just for fun, I stuck in my old Ubuntu Saucy Salamander disk and
booted the machine, installed Ubuntu, and without creating any partitions. I
just wiped all the old partitions out and used the entire drive for Ubuntu --
so the partition manager said at install.
Guess what? It didn't
Very interesting, Thank you
I just got an email notifying me of this. Too bad I can't attend.
Also, what exact installation options did you select? What's your setup?
The real fight is hardware acceleration -- and neither WebM nor Daala have it
currently. Maybe you're fine with software decoding (which is much slower and
more power-hungry), but mobile definitely can't afford it.

Got it! OK, well, not exactly, but... I still don't know where that sda5

to wipe the entire drive clean and did it. Why it wouldn't

And yes, your right indeed it´s a different distribution.

On the same Dell systems.
Kind a strange anyway.
I´ll keep Debian in mind, just in case.
Question though,
How come that both distro´s differ that much, like version

I really have no idea why this should be the case. The only main differences I
can think of between Trisquel 6 and 7 are (I believe) GNOME 2 vs 3 and some
minor application choices. Other than that, minor version changes. If anything,
7 should support

Hmm.. not really, but it seems to me as you are running two instances of

Also, do you have your DE save the session on logout? That would explain the

Problem Solved! It was some issue with GDM and Gnome Shell. Switched back to

It is not. The installer is exactly and perfectly what it was meant to be:
extremely user friendly.
Well, some of the changes you did obviously caused this strange behavior.
Check the conky config and try to understand where is the misconfiguration.
Also, killall conky and restart it.
Do I need another Linux brand?
Corrected: Do I need another GNU/Linux distribution?
And, unfortunately, this may well be the case. Either buy components that are
compatible with free software and replace those that don't with them, or switch
to a PDF (pretty damn free) distro like Debian.
It's great to take the time and learn GNU/Linux. I remember doing it during
my college years, good times :-D
