It was an amazing answer Adfeno :).
I am glad everything is working now mason :)
All of that worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.
Hi all,
I just came back from a turbulence on the email service provider I use,
so I'll try to answer the questions as best as I can:
1. I'll split it in two:
1. Make packages appear as simple terminal commands: For this to
work, the PATH variable must reference to important places
Does that mean I should add export
GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale to '~/.profile' instead of
executing it in the terminal? If so what should be different after I do that?
I don't know what it looks like when Guix is working correctly so I don't
know how to check if something
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14637979/how-to-permanently-set-path-on-linux
When you do the EXPORT you should be able to launch software installed with
Guix by just typing "program" you installed hello so just type
$ hello
It should run.
If you puth the export in your PATH you should be able to do this and
probably see the icons of the programs on the menu of your
I've done step 8. When I run guix package -i glibc-locales I get guile:
warning: failed to install locale
warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.

I thought I had found the Pandora for sale here, but not knowing German I did
not realize at first that it is out of stock. It appears they are only
selling the Pyra.
However, I feel better about the Pyra after reading the link you included.
I'll take a look at the PocketChip too.
It also appears that all devices supported by Replicant require nonfree
firmware to use WiFi, unless this list is out-of-date.

I do not see how it would help. You can reformat the swap partition (that
may help since it used to be encrypted, but I doubt so):
$ sudo swapoff -a
$ sudo mkswap /dev/sda2
$ sudo swapon -a
And you can try a more recent kernel: https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
I didn't know this.
In my country this doesn't work :/
But it is interesting.

Indeed- the domain has changed hands at some point, and the original owner
appears to have
It seems to me, that mason doesn't want to be tracked. To my knowledge, a SIM
enabled device is by default actively asking to be tracked. For instance, you
are able to call emergency services without a SIM card inserted.
Thanks. I think then, that I'll do the same.
This is more of a Libreboot problem than Trisquel or Ubuntu. So you might
want to ask to libreboot.
This is normal do a Trisquel live USB with Ubuntu and it will say "you can
run Ubuntu..."
Trisquel substituted all the "Ubuntu" for "Trisquel" so is normal.
I think this depends on your preferences :/ I prefer to put everything under
Documents
You could also have a smartphone with Replicant and use it without a SIM card
1.- You have no add Guix to your PATH and reboot
2.- No this is not possible, you could install Emacs with Guix and then
launch this Emacs and it will have installed the necessary packages to use it
as Synaptic.
3.- I am not sure, it is possible. You can look for all the installed
After this recent thread I have decided to try to replace my smartphone with
a PDA running JMP and only free software. I'm now trying to find on a good
fully free device to use.

to buy one. The wiki says that as of
I got it to work - apparently permanent. But I have one more issue, which I
experienced while I was only having a temporary solution and again in the end
with the permanent solution: When waking up my machine from hibernation, it
wakes up just a few seconds and then hibernates again (I am
In an earlier thread a number of you recommended QEMU (+ kvm) as a virtual
machine solution. I haven't had 'time' to experiment with that until now.

My question for now is:
Guix was recommended to me as a solution to a particular problem in another
thread, and it seems promising in general. I have enough questions that it
seemed worth opening a new thread.
1. Configuring installed files for use? For example, if I install Icecat via
Synaptic it is immediately
Substitute "#" with "echo" and type enter. The command will be printed but
after Shell expansion (typically the wildcard, *, but also the variables,
etc.). Try for instance:
$ echo cp /var/log/syslog* $HOME
Here it returns:
cp /var/log/syslog /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/syslog.2.gz
Good advice. Thank you.
Yep, reinstalling worked.
Yeah.. Watch the vid I linked and hammerdatphoon.jpg :)
I avoid this type of mistakes using # whenever I am doing something delicate
The symbol # is for comments so if you do
$ # sudo command

instead.
Stopped reading there. This forum is against non-free software. I am pretty
sure Buguntu has plenty of forums where you can ask your questions.
Bonne fortunae!
I can confirm that photorec is gold, pure gold. It will recover 99% of your
data. But then again you have it backed up so I don't see how waiting 20
hours for it to finish (recovery takes a lot of time) makes any sense here.
Reinstall and profit!
You wrote /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab. Also you (used to?)
have your swap encrypted what does not allow (at least not naturally)
hibernation. Edit /etc/fstab to remove the line "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none
swap sw 0 0" and to turn "/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0" into
sudo swapon -a
gives me
swapon: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: stat failed: No such file or directory
swapon: /dev/sda1: read swap header failed: Invalid argument
Did I mention that I only encrypted /home?
The rest of your commands return:
gnubahn@libreT400s:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO
I do not know. Is it enabled when you execute 'sudo swapon -a'?
Show us the outputs of these commands:
$ lsblk
$ grep swap /etc/fstab
$ swapon -s
My swap is on sda2. I ran your first command and when checking swap was on.
Then I ran your second command and restarted. Swap is not on!?
This is really weird. I mean, I am by no means either a savvy, a techie or
anything, but I have installed GNU/linux a lot of times (to some extend
You can first try to manually activate your swap partition (here assuming it
is /dev/sda1: adapt the command to your case; 'lsblk' helps to know what is
your swap partition):
$ sudo swapon /dev/sda1
If it works ('sudo swapon -s' shows it), you can run this command (again,
modify the
None in terms of performance. We could say that it is easier to make and
share (between systems) a swap partition as long as you have free disk space
(typically before an install), whereas it is easier to make a swap file as an
afterthought. Also it is easier to change the size of a swap
After restarting the computer the swap is again not active!
What will I have to do to make it permanently active?
Got it, thanks
It works
Dunno sorry. Maybe in your keyboard parameters, there must be an option as
described in your tuto for xfce.
Arigatou
I saved the script and made it executable. How do I assign a shortcut for it?
I can give it a name and a command, but I do I determine the shortcut itself,
e.g. super+t
Oh ! I made a mistake : desactivating touchscreen is specific to xfce (though
some recent DE like cinnamon may offer this option too).
Desactivating the touchpad should be easy to do on every DE. Some people use
this https://launchpad.net/touchpad-indicator, but the script you linked to
Thanks.
Do you know what it would take to make it work with Cinnamon?
It will work, but only if you install xfce desktop environment. This option
is specific to xfce.
Once you have the correct DE, there is nothing complicated, you'll have a
nice button.
For some reason it was not activated. This is the first time I have
experienced swap not being active after a fresh install.
Actually. when I open Gparted the partition was there but indicated with
black (and a warning triangle, if I remember correctly).
I deleted that partition and
What are the advantages and disadvantages of either solution, i.e. partition
vs file?
Sometimes the touchpad comes in handy, at other times it is annoying (e.g.
when touching my mistake). So, I was wondering if it is possible to make a
touchpad on/off shortcut and found this:

yes, thats what i meant,with another pc one would have to monitor all
