[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel Unstable?
Yes, by default on Trisquel, LightDM displays the graphical login screen.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
Is lightdm the login screen? Because I've also gotten stuck after decrypting the system.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Internet connection problem
What Debian did for Lilypond looks like the way to go. It prevents newly installed systems and systems that were not updated during the past week to suffer from the problem. For those who updated, I suggested in https://trisquel.info/forum/volunteer-write-more-regular-blog-posts-trisquelinfo#comment-144246 a post on the main website, maybe more visible than in the forum. After the addition of the (fake) updated version of NetworkManager to the repository, the terminal-free instructions for the MATE edition of Trisquel would become: Plug an Ethernet cable; Specify the IP address of any DNS server (for instance FDN's server: 80.67.169.12) in the DNS tab of "Network", in MATE's "Control Center"; Install the updates from the "Software Updater", in "Control Center." That last step is much easier for a non-technical user (like my mother) than typing 'sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 wpasupplicant=2.4-0ubuntu6.6' and 'sudo apt-mark hold network-manager wpasupplicant' without a typo. :-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Unstable?
hello I follow your instruction on a new trisquel mini installation but after a reboot lightdm doesn't start. there is a way to repair it please?

This essentially tricks the package manager to into thinking that the downgrade is really an upgrade, so it will propose the old version. The same thing could be accomplished by uploading the old version of network-manager with the version "1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel2+really-1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3", except that I'm not sure how anyone with the current version of network-manager will be able to upgrade at all unless they check the forum and learn what to do. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[Trisquel-users] Re : Internet connection problem
I really meant "unhold" (no typo). I do not think it is OK to still have the normally proposed version of NetworkManager (well, normal for those who enabled flidas-backports) "break the Internet" of many users. The problem looks widespread: besides those who expressed themselves in this thread, I can mention the system I installed for my parents, who could not fix it without my assistance, which could not be remote since their system was offline. Either another update is necessary or, thinking only of rarely used systems (that were not updated in the past week) and of new users, a removal of version 1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel2 from the repository: somebody who installs Trisquel 8 and, to complement the installation, enables flidas-backports, updates and loses her Internet connection will certainly then proceed with the installation of another distribution!

> If I 'sudo apt-mark unhold network-manager', the Update Manager still > proposes me the version 1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel2 of > NetworkManager... If you really did use "unhold", then this is the expected behavior. Change it to "hold" in order to prevent upgrades to network-manager. If you actually used "hold" and "unhold" is just a typo in the forum post, then maybe the graphical update manager does not observe the hold. Or, perhaps it will not actually upgrade network-manager if you follow through with the upgrade. When I run "apt list --upgradable" network-manager does appear, but when I run "sudo apt upgrade" I get The following packages have been kept back: network-manager so if the graphical installer uses "apt list --upgradable" or some equivalent to list the upgradable packages, then network-manager might appear even if it will not actually be upgraded. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

in (something like "Time and Date" in a "Control Center") where i control Internet synchronization... it is set to manuel.. and TrisQuel ask me to install NTP support if i want to synchronize automatik.. so.. it is set, on manuel.. and i do not have ntp installed in my system... i started synaptic and searched for anything with "ntp" and uninstalled one/all.. packets/programs named with any-thing like ntp.. one.. program synaptic found: ntpdate i totaly and complete uninstalled it. but still... the ntp traffic goes on.. ???
Re: [Trisquel-users] how do I increase the available space for this part of my harddrive?
Thanks for noticing that for me (I didn't!) Maybe it's from using Audacity to edit and export a long audio file. It's owrrying that it didn't clean itslef up afterward (if that's what it was). I'll keep your sudo apt-get clean command handy for the future; thank you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Getting an old version of trisquel for archiving purposes
To make the legacy installation (or live) media meaningful (usable), one may need to cache the repositories for those old versions, too, which costs far more storage space (mirror servers won't keep repositories for all versions for ever). So I don't see much point stockpiling historical images (and then stopped doing so). Backing up the artworks (e.g. wallpapers) used by certain legacy versions is good enough for me.
Re: [Trisquel-users] how do I increase the available space for this part of my harddrive?
I wonder whether this is how Trisquel Mini did it by default? I've used Trisquel Mini until now, have never had this problem, and am thinking about going back to Mini. Thanks for the idea; I'll try and implement it one way (Trisquel Mini default hopefully?) or another
Re: [Trisquel-users] boot-up USB memory card not working ...
The T400 let me boot Trisquel from my USB-port CD/DVD drive. The problem really must be the flash memory itself and not the USB port. Maybe Think Penguin or some other company would sell compatible USB memory cards once there are enough Libreboot and Coreboot computers out there to create demand.
[Trisquel-users] Re : don't upgrade to backported network-manager or wpa-supplicant
trisQuel is still communicating with the ubuntu servers. NTP servers are necessary to synchronize your desktop clock. Find a way to disable Internet synchronization on your desktop environment (something like "Time and Date" in a "Control Center"). there is guides for the mode-setting in USB to tell "ubuntu" that a given USB 4G modem is a modem and not a harddisk. Follow them: Trisquel 8 is based on Ubuntu 16.04.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Getting an old version of trisquel for archiving purposes
Sadly, many Trisquel installers won't work in the future - because they are net installers that need to download packages from a central server that will no longer provide the download. Even when you manage to get the image for the installation disk, you won't be able to make it work. So you see, your efforts are doomed from the start. -- Ignacio Agulló · grafot...@grafotema.com
