It sounds like the desktop files are missing, which explains why they aren't
showing up in menus and Synapse. Now we just have to figure out how to get
them back.
Did you reinstall Guix after returning to Trisquel 7, or is this the current
install from when you were using Trisquel 8?
Try
Great suggestions. Youtube viewer is really cool!
Thanks, good to know! I've hardly ever used virtual consoles, but remember
being stuck in one the first time :)
This was not the case for PureOS. Without giving away internal details, it
was actually a multi-year process and not some fast lane. It's probably the
longest endorsement process I've ever seen.
I dont see a applications folder in "~/.guix-profile/share" ... reinstalling
doesn't create the folder. Also the programs installed from Guix, arent
visible via Synapse ... ugh... what happened?
Just double checking that it matches what's in the ${XDG_DATA_DIRS} output.
It does, so that's not the problem.
Try checking the contents of '~/.guix-profile/share/applications' Do you see
desktop files for the applications you expect to appear in the menu?
If no, try reinstalling one of
Its "/home/davidpgil/.guix-profile"
Why?
It looks like the community edition you link to is libre. It looks like the
products available for download from Jetbrains' site, including PyCharm
Profession, are not due to their EULA.
I use IDLE for simple Python programs and Eclipse for larger ones. Here's a
good resource for finding
youtube-dl is great. There's a GUI for it too,
https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/
though I haven't tried it.
You might also look into gtk-youtube-viewer,
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer
which works well for searching, browsing, and streaming.

I never said there wasn't. I've been pretty consistent in *not* criticizing
them for making freedom compromises for newer hardware. I've only criticized
them for intentionally hiding these compromises from

Humm... I think not. I have not Google Play, but I have Signal.

Not necessarily and I see it pretty regularly in my work. Purism, unlike a
community project has means and dedicated staff they can throw at "problems".
They can simply keep pushing the FSF to accept them and have the resources
force faster processing. Eventually the non-profit caves just so
Apache 2.0 is a free software license, so at first blush the community
edition looks to be free software. That said due to its freemium model there
maybe issues of the software suggesting non-free addons or "upgrades", this
would run counter to free software. I can't assess that last bit
I got used to edit with Kate, which is great text editor with plugins I
needed. But I really want to try some good IDE. With some helpful tool and
maybe autocompletion.
Hi, is PyCharm-community-edition free software? their licences are unclear.
Maybe something like VirtualBox or Atom (text-editor).

"PyCharm Community Edition is distributed under Apache 2 license, with full
source code available on GitHub."
Sure Magic Banana, that will be a great idea. I'll try to do it today.

That would only be possible if the FSF is corrupt. I don't see any reason to
believe that.
ya, I think a bunch of them ended up in the Troll Lounge. Not sure if those
threads get purged or just don't appear on the tracking page. He was
certainly in more than two threads.
I have never seen a forum like you are talking about. All the forums I have
ever seen are project specific (ie Ubuntu, Trisquel, Classic Car Restoration,
etc), having a general "free software" forum would be incredibly hard to
moderate. Moderating in a forum is a huge task, even on this

David,
Its important to recognize that Purism went out of their way to make sure
this community wouldn't support them. Todd Weaver (the main guy behind
Purism) has engaged in very unprofessional flame wars in this very forum
where he attacked long time supporters of Trisquel who in no way
"there is clearly some effort being put into trying to be free as in
freedom..."
To me, it seems like they've put more effort into marketing. Wash a baby and
let it go down the drain?
Reasonable question! Regarding the component, I was trying to show you via
RMS speaking that he sometimes mentions the problem with Free/Libre Hardware.
The challenges with it, that it seems to me that you don't realize.
Regarding using Youtube, there are several ways to view Youtube videos
What exactly are you wanting to do with "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" ? In Trisquel 7
this gives you Shutdown related options.
GrevenGull, GrevenGull, GrevenGull - If you go through every option in the
"Start" menu, you will see a button named System Settings or System Tools.
Its there. Be patient and really look for it.
Once you click on it, there will be a popup that has a bunch of icons and
look somewhat
"sudo apt-get install synapse" works like MacOS Spotlight search. After
installing it and opening it, type "Main Menu" and and hit "Enter" on your
keyboard. It should open the Main Menu up.

As I write this post, it's 2PM in the UK on 22 December 2017.
The final batch of pre-christmas shipments went out today. UPS will resume
their operations in my area on 27 December 2017. I'm waiting until then to
make new shipments.
All I have to say is characterizing Purism as some sort of lecherous fiend
who just lies and would stab you in the back at the first opportunity is so
maddening for me. Not to get too philosophical, there is clearly some effort
being put into trying to be free as in freedom and you actually
My favorite application for that is 'menulibre'.
If you do not know what GNOME Shell is, you certainly do not use it. You
probably use the default desktop environment, whose menu has a "System
Settings" entry according to this screenshot:

There is no need to press the Ctrl key to switch between sessions once you
are in a text session, i.e., Alt+F1, Alt+F2, ..., Alt+F6 will switch between
the text sessions and Alt+F7 will get you back to the graphical session.
Also, if yo udo press CTRL+ALT+F1 (which I'm guessing you might, just to try
it out), you can get back to the graphical interface with CTRL+ALT+F7 (F1
through F6 are all virtual consoles).
Finally, to access the function keys on an apple computer you must press the
"fn" key first as they

Open a terminal and type: gnome-control-center
Those are the system settings.
Select the "main menu" icon.
Also in the terminal, you can type: gnome-help
That is the user manual for the version of Gnome included with Trisquel and
it should answer most of your questions.
I can't find it in the main menu.
What and where is "the tool button in GNOME Shall's menu"?
What and where is the "gnome-control-center" commant?
When I press Alt+F2 nothing happens.
Are there any possibilities on MacBook that you know of? As I am missing the
SysRq button.
An entry of the main menu (if I remember well) in Trisquel 7's default

Where are the system settings? :)
Use the "System Monitor" in the "System Settings". To kill a graphical
