I have just written that manual for those interested in running/testing GNOME
Shell on Trisquel 8: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-gnome-shell
Just installing the "gnome-shell" package results in a bad user experience.
Fortunately, it is easy to improve.

Try that command in a terminal:
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size 32
32 is the size. You can set it to another value.

About the encrypted swap (since david and you solved the upgrade problem): I
had that same issue when creating it on Trisquel. I have found a solution
based on that sole line in /etc/crypttab (where /dev/sda1 is my swap
partition, yours may be different!):
cryptswap1 /dev/sda1 /dev/urandom
I would like to see a recommended donation amount per the amount of
downloads/users for a release.
Also how much left to reach a good salary for the trisqual dev(s).
Metrics like this would be helpful for working out how much i should
donate to projects but i get it needs time and energy to get
Hello.
I am using Trisquel MATE.
I'd like to increase the size of the mouse pointer slightly.
If you know how to change the size of the mouse pointer, please give me a
professor.
Hi Mason
This wouldn't really make more languages available for installation but
it would help Trisquel.
Would it be good to work on Trisquel documentation and Ubuntu language
packs?
Thanks-Patrick

That means that every other distro you have tried is non-free. Since Trisquel
is a free replacement for Ubuntu, including non-free software would defeat
the purpose.
You are of course free to install whatever software you choose on your own
machine (Trisquel doesn't impose restrictions
Personal preference, I prefer fresh installs as in place upgrades can have
unplanned surprises.
Thank you for the information. I do appreciate the circumstances re free
software but as my PC works fine with every other distro I've tried I can't
really justify what is needed just to run Trisquel. My guess is a lot of
other potential users will feel the same.
Great job! Downloading mini version for wifes 12 year old Gateway latpop, I
prefer fresh installs over upgrades.
I will also test-run the main version on the desktop.
Glad to hear that you resolved things!
Forget everything! At least for now...
I did what david suggested (sudo apt-get remove
trisquel-desktop-common-recommended) and it is upgrading now.
Thanks!
I just solved my issue by doing the following steps:
'''
$ sudo apt-get purge unity*
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install trisquel
$ sudo apt-get install mate-dock-applet
$ sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extra
'''
The icon theme seems a bit wonky still but this is MUCH
Need help again, now to upgrade to Trisquel 8. I'm not opening a new thread
just in case it is related to this one. Anyway I did open an issue at

Attached are the default user.js for Abrowser and Firefox, and a comparison

Gracias! Grazas! Grazie!
When I delete the applet, the error is gone. I am just trying to figure how
how to solve the "marco" issue most of all. I guess i'll look for a way to
reinstall that so it stays up and functioning. Thanks for filing the bug.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were using unity. I mean that I am
trying to use unity on Trisquel and am encountering the same errors. Those
GTK plugin errors are not a problem specific to the MATE desktop environment
or specific to upgrade installs. The icon size issue is a problem
Another issue i'm having is when I start the MATE Desktop Environment after
logging in, I see the following popup:
Yes. Where the battery indicator, date, applications icon, etc. are.
I'm not using Unity at the moment. I'm using the MATE Desktop that Trisquel 8
comes with. Are you saying that Unity is interfering somehow?
I wonder if I should just remove the Unity DE? Unity is nice and all but its
fate
From what I'm seeing the overlay-scrollbar and topmenu-gtk-module are a
problem of their own. I'm having the same issue, broken topmenu-gtk-module
may explain why that component of unity is not working in this release. You
can ignore those errors, but it seems that scrollbars will not
Thanks, Leah! You da real MVP.
In MATE Terminal, I typed "marco" and it immediately made the missing buttons
appear. However, there were two errors:
Gtk Message: failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk Message: failed to load module "topmenu-gtk-module"
I also want to mention that in my screenshot the spacing and
It looks like there is no window manager running. Apparently the default
window manager for MATE is called marco, check to see if it is running. If
it's not running, try launching it from the terminal.
Thank you, now I can install extensions.
Except for uMatrix, which appears to be corrupt.
Firefox by default is a mess privacy wise but it can be rather easily set to
not make any automatic connections. I would be interested in a list of (all
and each one of the)modifications made to Abrowser.
Forget this question. Maybe I could not download it because at that moment
there were some changes in the servers, as I see the official Trisquel 8 is
now out : )

Not needed, thanks. It's been a long process, but finally I managed to
restore everything as it was. Thank you!
