Re: [Trisquel-users] cannot boot from USB
I'm on Trisquel 9, so I wouldn't know if there was a problem with the Trisquel 8 ISO. I suppose it has not been changed and works as usual. Check your download, check the USB thumb drive. Try another and make a new boot drive. Press a key to invoke your computer's boot menu and select the proper drive. Disable secure boot. With the information we have about your struggles I'm afraid the details are too vague to pinpoint anything specific other than a general user or hardware error.

[Trisquel-users] cannot boot from USB
hi, when I reboot and try to boot from a USB it does not work. I burnt the ISO image correctly. I did work before when I played around with kali linux. might it be the actual USB drive itself that's the problem? anyone else experience this issue? I basically want to reinstall trisquel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Pinephone Community Edition
There aren't many options for GNU/Linux on arm/64 devices (smart phones, tablets), and PostmarketOS is good enough. If the PinePhone community edition is still available, don't miss it. There are no shortage of Android-based distributions, but very few GNU-based distributions for arm/64 architecture. By mistakenly calling the operating system "Linux" (sic), people confuse Android-based with GNU-based operating systems. When you have your smart phone running GNU/Linux, you can have root privilege and truly own your smart phone. Attach an OTG hub and every peripheral you need, you can even run gcc and build you own application on the phone.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is there a build of Trisquel Mini 8 that is under 700 MB and can fit on a CD?
I had a 20th-century legacy notebook that was similar with your computer. It had only CD-ROM drive and no NIC, though I purchased an Atheros-based PCMCIA wireless NIC much later. The system installation I used was Debian Installer's Xfce CD version (not Debian Live, but the binary installer). I could have Xfce desktop environment completely offline. I didn't enable contrib or non-free repository so the installation was free/libre. However, there are some other workarounds for you. For example, you can try to find a USB NIC (ath9k-htc or wired), or remove the hard disk from your chassis and install the operating system on another computer using a USB-to-IDE converter.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Is there a build of Trisquel Mini 8 that is under 700 MB and can fit on a CD?
I do not think so. What "device drivers" will you have to configure? Can't that be done after you bring back the hard drive? Another way would be: Burn a NetInstall ISO such as http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso-etiona/iso/trisquel-netinst_9.0_i686.iso (for Trisquel 9) on a CD and download http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/a/apt-offline/apt-offline_1.8.1_all.deb (again, for Trisquel 9); Bring all that to the offline computer; Install the NetInstall and 'sudo dpkg -i' apt-offline; Use apt-offline as explained in https://debian-administration.org/article/648/Offline_Package_Management_for_APT

There are three non-escaped single quotes on this command line.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Your window manager does not support the show desktop button, or you are not running a window manager
this works only temporarily, it also does not fix the issue when trying to open folders i.e `No application is registered as handling this file`. also none of the menus on applications work either.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to boot into recovery mode
managed to fix tty. steps taken: grub> ls (ahci0,msdos1/ # to find root filesystem grub> linux (ahci0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-4.4.0-161-generic root=/dev/mapper/oem--vg-root grub> initrd (ahci0,msdos1)/initrd.img-4.4.0-161-generic grub> boot after this i got a tty login prompt.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is there a build of Trisquel Mini 8 that is under 700 MB and can fit on a CD?
It would be hard to configure device drivers, as they'd be configured for the source (donor) computer rather than for the destination computer. I think this would cause more configuration issues than it's worth.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A sed script to replace one HTML string with a different one
Trying another tack with awk ...
see:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50244876/how-to-use-gsub-in-awk-to-find-and-replace-and-txt-characters-within
where it's said:
echo "./file_name.txt|1230" | awk '{gsub(/\.\/|\.txt/,"")}1' file_name|1230
In the present task, taking just one exemplar PTR, see the attached file,
which also shows bash's response.
The character that's flagged is the end-parenthesis, but that's part of the
standard gsub syntax.

[Trisquel-users] How to boot into recovery mode
I tried editing the grub2 configuration but I cannot boot into single user mode. I will have to reinstall my entire OS, or can boot from external media to try to fix the issue?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is there a build of Trisquel Mini 8 that is under 700 MB and can fit on a CD?
How about detaching the hard disk drive off it and install Trisquel on other computer and finally attach the hard disk back again?
