Can't figure out what setting to adjust to change how long before my screen
goes to sleep, right now it sleeps after a few minutes and have to enter my
password again. I tried adjusting power settings to not suspend and has no
effect on this.
Thanks, tried both. Photorec worked
Thanks. Are you using the default OS on your PocketChip? I don't mind
carrying a charger and I have a USB WiFi adapter, so that seems like a good
inexpensive option to use until the Pyra is released. Is WiFi the only
nonfree component?
I highly recommend the Pyra. If you can find a used OpenPandora that'll
probably serve (or a used N900 if you can disable the radio).
My pocketCHIP is great -- the specs are on the low side, and the screen
resolution is quite low -- I've already sent patches upstream for some apps I
use to
Physically removing the nVidia card may be a good idea. For sure you will
save energy, but I even think you will gain performances for some things
(like video decoding). Just burn and boot either:
a live CD/DVD https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/burn-trisquel-cd-images
a live USB:
Again, I don't want to start a debate, but compare prices as specializations
for all of these vendors (except ThinkPenguin, I did not realize that their
computers are nonfree).
It sounds like until the Pyra is released my options are the PocketChip and
the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 WiFi-only version.
The PocketChip's CHIP OS is apparently based on Debian. If like Debian it is
"optionally free" but not FSF-free I am fine with that, but since freedom

Unfortunately, I'm not sure this works- though my knowledge is limited, and I
could very well be wrong (I hope I am). The issue is that the modem is a
separate computer- it loads independently of the main device, and has its own
flash. As such, removing the ability to use telephony from the

I haven't contemplated the tech details in 3 years and forget the tech
details.
kopolee11 is talking about a tabelt (7 inches), I am talking about a phone.
The tablet exists in a sim-card enabled version and a wifi-only version. In
the latter there is no modem.
In the phone (S3 G4) there is a modem, but perhaps, as telephony doesn't
work, this could mean that the
What exactly is the WiFi-only version and where can I find it? Does it
literally have no modem?
Unfortunately no change...
What about using a S3 4G? Since telephony doesn't work, would that mean that
the modem is inactive? In that If so, you could have a wifi-only phone with a

Mason could be right, and if so it's just a matter of replacing the network

Since there are many other options to leave Microsoft than Trisquel, I
imagine that you approve with the free software philosophy.

Hi,
installing a distro can be done using this guide:

modifying the boot menu can be done using this guide:

I saw "ubuntu" mentioned. obviously you should use trisquel, since it's a
Also, sometimes the default "load operating system" menuentry doesn't
correctly auto-detect your configuration, from the partitioning and so on on
the drive. if you come across that issue, see the first link I gave, which
shows you how to modify grub.cfg. You can use that to add a custom

Ok then, I'll give it a shot.
I haven't done this myself, but another option to consider is using a Galaxy
Tab 2 7.0 Wi-Fi only version with Replicant.
(https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyTab270P31xx) It
would not have a telephony modem to worry about, but to use Wi-Fi you would
have to use a

The stuff GNUUU suggested seems nice but pricy... As for usb cameras it will

thing.

personally I use photorec. recently I did and it worked ok. It is good enough
for usb if you don't want to hassle with live cds and such. check the repo
If anyone has info on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Do you think updating to a newer kernel would help?
Apparently. I is a quite common problem.
You're welcome! :)
You're welcome! :)
But you use a wifi-dongle working with free firmware.
That gave no change.
Strangely though, using 'Fn+F12' to wake it up does work!
Could the problem be about assignation of keys?
I find it not unusual that some problems which 'seem' OS related- for
non-techies like myself - get solved by a re-installation.
But I will try your advise first, thanks.
