last thing, the mess you did accusing FSF GNU created a mess in my city, at
least among people that were mildly interested about free software, I was in
a position that suddenly looked bad, the lug where right not the fsug.
I will never buy something from you again Leah.
forgot... I even sent a totally drunk email to I believe Sullivan where I
tried to explain, while hammered, why company like minifree are bad for our
free software/hardware movement.
I mean english is not my main language.
I also own a Minifree laptop.
I totally regret buying it.
I mean Libreboot and Trisquel are super awesome!
At the time Minifree with Francis was actually endorsed by the FSF, and that
to me was enough. I know we are early adapter on the free hardware
endorsement, not complaining for alpha
I'm just not sure where to start since it was already flashed with libreboot
I'm not sure which installation instructions to follow on libreboot website.
Yes I'm supernoob,
Yes :) new kernels are the best :D
Super confused, is libreboot still on my system somewhere or do I need to
download it and install. How do I see what bios is running after new
installation of trisquel
So nothing I tried was working from my guest account in trisquel so I made a
live USB on a windows computer and reinstalled trisquel on my x200 now I am
in control of my computer but lost libreboot when I reinstalled trisquel.
So I guess I need to reconfigure libreboot now and should be

Again: you had better backup your files and do a clean install of Trisquel 7;
without adding any proprietary software.
And I see no reason why you would not be able to remove your signature.
Unless you are paid to do advertisement for proprietary software here, in
which case you are not
Hardware supports depends on the kernel. Thanks to jxself, it is easy to
install a newer version of Linux-libre on any GNU/Linux distribution that
uses APT (including all versions of Trisquel):

And, yes, you will get updates.

If you are using Trisquel 7 and haven't gone out of your way to install a new
desktop environment you are almost certainly using GNOME. See Magic Banana's
comment.
It sounds like you have figured out how to manage the bottom panel.
As for the launch menu, does the editor look like the
Thanks, I'll take a look at that. Would be great to get a Trisquel skin and
sticker for it :)
>you can use any text editor (here GEdit)
You're right, it's been such a long time since I used Ubuntu and I knew nano
is installed for sure. But using GEdit is a better suggestion in this case.
I need to update it as well with information about how to put on Trisquel
stickers, not just the non-Trisquel stickers it mentions.
Well, this actually worked.
Ok, I updated the Macbook wiki page with what I found out about the trackpad,
thermal issues and swap space. I also mentioned about the Trisquel ISO images
possibly having problems booting with Apple firmware. Please take a look and
let me know if you have any comments or edits :)
It is /etc/apt/sources.list and you can use any text editor (here GEdit):
$ gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Or you can use the "Software & Updates" utility in the "System Settings".
But you had better backup your files and do a clean install of Trisquel 7.

You can create a live CD/DVD/USB (with GNU/Linux on it, whatever the
distribution) from another system (even from Windows or MacOS) too.
glad it helped )
sadly I seem to be unable to edit my previous post to point out that this
mirror does not contain packages for trisquel 3.5 (contrary to what I wrote
there)
GNOME Fallback is Trisquel 7's (not Trisquel Mini's) default desktop
environment. It is called "Trisquel's session" at the graphical login screen
(where you can choose to start another environment, once installed of
course). Trisquel 8's default will be MATE.
Hi,
unfortunately my whole computer equipment got electrocuted in a thunderstorm.
My beloved librebooted T400 was among the victims. It wasn't even connected
to the power supply but to a LAN cable. Everything connected to the LAN has
been librecuted (router, firewall and laptop) and now I
Thank you for your help. First how do I tell if I am using gnome?
When I go to Main Menu and change settings they do not seem to have any
effect on the launch menu. This is what has been driving me batty.
When I right click on panel I can add to panel as you describe, but how do I

To reset it:
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/gnome-panel/

Now try again :)

Fair enough.

First of all, oof, that's a lot of non-free software repositories.
Second, you added the Free Software Foundation's mirror of the Trisquel
toutatis repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. So, like

If you were running Ubuntu 16.04 and added the Trisquel repositories, this is
entirely expected. As an unofficial version of Ubuntu, with an explicit goal
to avoid endorsing the differing values of that project, Trisquel is both
