Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 install didn't detect my monitor, gave wrong resolution.
Hmmm... pardon me for asking a few more questions: 1. If I paste everything in that yellow box above into a terminal, would that compile some driver (and/or whatever) that could probably identify my current monitor?_ 2. Is there much risk of it messing up other stuff? 3. IF the answer to ?#1 is YES, and answer to ?#2 is NO, THEN... 4. IF I use "cd ~/" would that work with Trisquel's basic response to the installation selection of "install along with existing OS"? Regarding the comment "#or whatever directory you want to use for this build"... I wouldn't know what to choose if I had to fill in any techy details myself. I do make specific choices where Menu options are offered; but have aborted or re-done MANY installations of various versions of: Ubuntu, Debian, and Trisquel - and 1 try at GNU-Sense...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 install didn't detect my monitor, gave wrong resolution.
I had other problems with Trisquel 7 - only thing I recall now is that Synaptic didn't work for me, and I didn't want to do without it - SO I switched back to Debian till Trisquel 8 was released. I don't know how to "compile" anything. I have no programming experience at all, and can't even remember or keep track of enough cmds to make much use of a terminal, except when someone tells me the verbatim cmd(s) and I can just paste them in. As I've mentioned in today's replies to others... I'm now using a different monitor, for which Trisquel's default setting works, though it (the monitor) can't be identified so far. Thanks for the offered help, but if I get in over my head it might cause more serious problems than I have now.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Why is Trisquel 8 so much bigger than Trisquel 7?
Thanks, Magic Banana.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 install didn't detect my monitor, gave wrong resolution.
jxself...Sorry I forgot to answer your ? "Am I correct in thinking that you were using Debian 7 (Wheezy) or older? This will help to confirm something." YES! Correct! Also, earlier today I discovered that the same Trisquel 8 DVD used in my main computer (slightly newer, better & more powerful CPU) but with that same monitor - had no trouble correctly identifying Brand, model, and its preferred resolution! SO, in case it would improve picture quality, or at least options for this other monitor... Is there some relatively easy way to get Trisquel 8 to be able to identify it/work with my old Sis built-in? If that solution might/would cause other problems with software, then I'm OK with leaving this as is.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 install didn't detect my monitor, gave wrong resolution.
I bought 2 1GB RAM modules yesterday, along with that new/used smaller monitor. Also belated realized that probably of the previous modules (a 512 & 1 !GB), only the 512 had been working! Bought them at a store that sells recycled computers etc.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 install didn't detect my monitor, gave wrong resolution.
Double hmmm... just discovered I can't Reply to my own 1st entry! SO... Thank you EVERYBODY WHO HAS HELPED & TRIED TO HELP! As just stated to Magic B... THE PROBLEM I MENTIONED ABOVE MIGHT NOT MATTER NOW BECAUSE: - I'm Now using a smaller/older monitor that seems to work fine - there may or may not be a problem with my motherboard's built-in video, But... - I'll at least read offered help, & if I can apply it easily, will give it a try. - I won't attempt complex solutions that are way over my head, but thank you anyway to those who offered some! HOWEVER..I'm still wanting to know: 1. IS there a program which one can run, or re-run, after installing Trisquel (or probably any GNU/Linux distro) that will re-check one's computer system to detect something that is either newly added, or perhaps not detected - for whatever reason - during the installation? __ 2. Does the installation process create a LOG file of its own complete process?__ IF so, what is its filename?__ and where can one find it?__ and, if its not a plain text file, what program does one use to read it?__ The answers to those questions might help a LOT of us less skilled users to maybe answer some questions for ourselves, or at least help us provide YOU more skilled users with more useful info. - I'll add a few comments to Replies below that are specific to those replies, &/or just to update or correct any info I've stated below. BUT I'll do so more for respect, and "interest", than any need for continued "Help" with this. I really AM grateful that so many of YOU have HELPED, or at least tried to. Some of the more techy stuff that I can't use may still be helpful for someone with similar problems who reads replies here.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 install didn't detect my monitor, gave wrong resolution.
Hi again Magic Banana. THE PROBLEM I MENTIONED ABOVE MIGHT NOT MATTER NOW BECAUSE: 1. Yesterday Sept.11, I bought an older & smaller monitor, and Trisquel's default resolution setting (1024x768 & 76 Hz) - which I still can't change - DOES work alright, as far as I can tell at this point. 2. There may or may not be some problem with by motherboard's built in video. Hmm... just realized, so many Trisquel users have tried to help with this that I I should put this as a reply to my own original request for help... there will be more info there if you're interested.
Re: [Trisquel-users] MTP For Android
The WiFi part is ok, have no problem carrying an adapter. Its just that I have lots of music stored on a 256gb SD card and all replicant phones don't support that size. I did think about getting a replicant phone and a dedicated DAP for music but all of them have proprietary software and that would defeat the purpose. It seems now for me that Lineage OS is the only most free option.I guess it depends on people's needs and the sacrifices they make. I take my hat off to those who go the whole hog.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 install didn't detect my monitor, gave wrong resolution.
Thanks again jxself. I copied that cmd verbatim, pasted it in a terminal, and the result, just 2 lines, is: filename:/lib/modules/4.4.0-134-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-sis630.ko filename:/lib/modules/4.4.0-134-generic/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_sis.ko That's interesting because: 1. when I re-ran Trisquel from DVD, I saw a Warning "Sis 630 bus not detected, module not inserted" 2.In my motherboard (ECS Elitegroup 760GX-M) User Manual, list of mothebrd components "SiS 630" is not even mentioned. SO, I don't know if that indicates that some of built-in SiS stuff insn't working, or not. If you'd care to comment on that, I'd be interested to know... HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM MIGHT NOT MATTER BECAUSE: Please see the Reply I'll enter to Magic Banana's 1st Reply to me...I don't want to be wasting anybody's time.
Re: [Trisquel-users] MTP For Android
I haven't really used my Replicant phone much, as I prefer using JMP with my laptop, so I can't thoroughly review it, but the only limitation I've run into is that you need to use a USB adapter for WiFi to work. I guess I could see this being a minor inconvenience if I went back to carrying a phone, but it wouldn't be that bad. The adapter is small. I'd carry it in my pocket and plug it into the phone when I needed it. Other than that the phone seems fine. It's old, but who cares if it works. If I recall correctly, the phone cost about $20 (used but in good condition) and installing Replicant took 15 minutes and should be easy for anyone comfortable with copying commands into a terminal. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[Trisquel-users] Re : Why is Trisquel 8 so much bigger than Trisquel 7?
The figures you gave (after 'sudo apt autoremove' and 'sudo apt clean' for Trisquel 8) show a 34% increase. If that growth rate remains constant, your Trisquel 9 system will weight 7.5 GB, your Trisquel 10 system will weight 10.1 GB, your Trisquel 11 will weight 13.6 GB and you will only face a problem with Trisquel 12. But Trisquel 12 will not be released before 2024. By then, I hope you will have a larger disk for the user data: 80 GB is not much. Assuming the disk is still working, you will still be able to use it for the swap (say 20 GB, considering an increase of the RAM and a will to hibernate) and the system (the rest: 60 GB): still assuming a 34% growth rate, you are good up to Trisquel 16, which will not be released before 2032. Conclusion: relax and enjoy Trisquel 8! :-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] MTP For Android
Thank you for the tips, appreciate it. In an ideal world I wouldn't have an Android phone. I just wish there was a free software/hardware alternative available. I've not tried replicant yet but I think it might be too limiting. For now I use lineage os without any Google services installed and F-droid as a play store replacement. The closest I'll get for now.
