> You can reset your user password by chrooting using a live CD: This is what I would suggest if the OP wanted to go back to using this system. I am under the impression that they just want to recover data from it, which can be achieved more easily by mounting the disk with graphical tools. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This means that the disk is not encrypted, which is good. That was my worry, since the graphical Trisquel installer has an option to encrypt the entire disk. It does not have an option to encrypt your home folder, so unless you used the text installer (which does have such an option) you should be okay. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

If so, you're out of luck without a password. If not, the following might work: You'll need a bootable CD or USB running Trisquel (or another distro). If you don't have one and don't know how to create one, see here.[1] Boot into the CD or USB drive and select "Try Trisquel without installing." Once you're in a Trisquel live session, open the file manager. On the left-hand side of the window you will see a list of media. Hopefully your hard disk will be in there. If the disk is not encrypted, you should be able to click on it and mount it without a password. If that works, you should see a "home" directory. Enter it. There, you should see a directory for each user. If they are not encrypted, you should be able to enter these folders without a password. If that works, copy the files you want to recover onto some other medium. Good luck! [1] https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-create-liveusb signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[Trisquel-users] Lost password on Trisquel machine!
Hello to all. I came here because none of the other forums could helped me. I am not using Trisquel anymore, although I consider the concept interesting, but not practical, anyway...I have some photos in the disk, that I would like to retrieve, particularly photos of my then pregnant wife. It is somewhat important to us to get those unique photos that we store on that trisquel computer. The thing is I don't know any more, what was my password then... I have two accounts on that machine, one mine, and the other of my wife. We (me and my wife) could enter in my wife account, because we know the password of her account, but the photos we need were stored in my account, because I am the "linux" person in the house, she never cared much using linux and her account. I've seen some other forum, but that didn't help much because of one simple reason, that irritates me a lot (sorrY): When I click in the advance mode, the computer prompts right away to enter username, and then password! That's exactly what I don't know! It didn't make much sense... I am handed thigh in this situation! With this set of informations could anyone help me? Please. Thanks in advance and I will consider contribute more for real free software like trisquel Linux.

Re: [Trisquel-users] [Question] Mate Desktop Theme
> It states that it depends on `gtk3-engines-unico` but > `gtk3-engines-unico` has no installation candidate. I guess Debian doesn't have that package. You can grab it from the Trisquel repo too. http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/g/gtk3-engines-unico/ If you have a 64-bit system download the one that says amd64. For 32-bit use the one that says i386. Install it with dpkg, and then try again to install trisquel-gtk-theme. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
