I think Trinity should be considered only if there's an easy way (read
metapackage) to install the desktop shell without the rest of the DE (PDF
reader, etc).
And I don't recall there being syuch a thing.might be wrong though.
synaptic-pkexec@magicbanana That's got to exactly be the thing that's not
working for Davide. MAybe try that in the terminal and post the resulting
result and error(s, if any)?
I see a lot of GNOME Shell votes...I wonder how many of those are default
GNOME Shell (great DEbut after a rather steep learning curve which I
don't think Linus Torvalds has bothered with (neither has RMS but he doesn't
use the GUI) and how many are RedHat-style GNOME Shell.
Wait a second, they're gone now?
Look for the hidden files - select View>Hidden Files.
@magicbanana I think it's in the dconf (or gconf) file(s), no? (Trisquel's
panel is not in the default config whoever programmed it AFAIK so something
would need to be in /etc/skel in order for Trisquel's custom setting to be
used)
Well, waiting for firmware to open up...
Ciomputers don't rot so what's wrong with one that spent 8 years on a shelf
(though I don't think that applies to any T400's or X200's)?
Try arandr (xrandr frontend if memory serves me)
it isn't substantially different compared to Debian GNU/Linux from an
end-user perspective... assuming it works and doesn't crash.
Those are sadlyquite a contradiction, for now.
...leaving Librem a tiny bit freer than Chris' laptops (a tad ironic
considering how Chris doesn't do false kickstarters and all those things)?
Red Hat, as in RHEL, not Fedora.
Anyway I think XFCE would be a great option for the Mini edition - based on
my small experience of using the Compaq TC1000, I think any relatively light
window manager (used in non-madly-heavy desktop shells) that can move windows
like this should work:
Xfwm4 does that(
@jxself 4 hours in the 9-cell? That's pretty short...
Anyway, does undervolting help anyone with the X200's battery life?
KDE5Actually I don't think something like that would end badly.
How's that supposed to be any kind of non-nonsensical response to onpon4?
It's not going to be such a thing unless there's uneaten kerstkrans in a
cat's anus.
"When I select 1. Try Trisquel without installing, it freezes and I have to
Ctrl+Shift+Esc to force a restart."
Does leaving your computer for a meal/sleepover/ages help? (Helped with my
attempt at using OpenSUSE netinstall once).
What about some of the files in archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/ (both
source and built files are there, though the sources seem to be Debianised
copies of sources of applications developed by other people of which the
source code can be looked for elsewhere) ?
Actually before you go back to LXDE I should note you can install synapse in
GNOME Shell.
But anyway, enjoy LXDE. Give something like Budgie a go sometime though (or
Cinnamon, etc)!
Will it play Crysis? No.
But non-free software and other heavy games aside, it should do YouTube,
Impress, etc well.
Or at least I know the T60-aged HP nc6320 does.
Yes, and it has for ages now.
Or at least that's what happens when all gstreamer plugins available in the
repos are installed
Increasing system fonts altogether (Trisquel's default is quite small...)
This is not a thing I'm facing right now at all, but I (and others) might in

It's about supply and demand.

People always say that the debian installer recommends non-free firmware.
However, whenever I installed it on notebooks with wifi chips dependant on
non-free firmware, it never recommended anything.
The wifi just didn't work, and that's it.Did you use the netinstall?
Yes, and they have since God knows when.
less powerful GPUs will get better performance in 3d games that most powerful
GPUs(running free drivers).But...I was referring to the other Nvidia cards
you wrote about (I assume also running Nouveau) rather than the Intel
ones
If I had to bet I'd bet on the best performance being from Broadwell-C
Integrated graphics.
I guess Trisquel forked from Ubuntu because Ubuntu's non-prerelease-labelled
software was more up-to-date (keep in mind Ruben did STS releases too up
until Brigantia which I never used as my main runner).
I thought that;s just a bug, and one that's been fixed providing it's the
newest ISO one downloads?
What I was trying to say though is that it was, if I remember correctly
1) It was accidental
2) It's been fixed (unless you're using the newest ISO...in which case it
hasn't been. But it's still ACCIDENTAL!)
Anyway, quite a few users seem to agree with you regarding the GRUB password
This was about Ruben's opinion (about how things werealmost a decade ago
or so) rather than mine, or yours, though..but yeah. Your opinion, his
decision :)
I posted a possible solution here
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/cant-boot-vista-after-trisquel-install#comment-82052
(in case you didn't notice - I doubt I'd have noticed it if I were you).
I'm not on Libeboot.but does Libreboot use seaBIOS (which AFAIK can boot
from USB)?
Wait, did someone say GTX460 OC with Nouveau?
Yeah, an atom with 1 GB of RAM will do.
My old P4 HT with 1 GB of RAM (and Nvidia 6200) easily did everything I
needed it to do (unless I was running KDE anyway), just not everything I
wanted..
..for which people should just get a bl**dy desktop.
X60 and X200 are quite old, to be honest.
I have this personal law that computers older than Vista will struggle to do
modern things, but those that, say, came with Vista will run pretty much
everything since system requirements hasn't really seen an increase after
Vista.'
When looking
Not for it is Libreboot available, yeah (wellthat's some terrible grammar
on my part).
And I forgot to note that Coreboot still needs to be flashed onto the mobo
after buying if you don't mind that. Instructions seem to be here on

Short of Libreboot, but anyway

Arrgh, you see..
We're somewhat flaming over something completely different :)
In all honesty that's what I thought upon discovering it.
(I should check out how the bug unfolded.I guess I will when I become
un-lazy enough to do that!)
Come on let's just have Quidam get the number indicating "-"-es down leaving
only the buttons to - or + them and the colour that the number of them can

Linux-libre is the only one of the 2 programmed to refuse to run non-free

The best way is to open synaptic and remove the gnome parts you decide to be
useless "manually" (which is a pain in the neck - I agree with lembas here

it (I think you should..but I guess you don't really need
Upon arriving at the pictured part of the installation, choose something else
and create on each drive 1 ext4 partition (you can choose btrfs for the HDD

doing.). Set the mountpoint of the HDD partition to /home (where the
I think driver updates can be installed by installing
xserver-xorg-lts-(trusty/quantal/raring) rather than by installing a new
kernel..if I'm not mistaken.
Now that I've come to think of it.I think it comes down to computers

No, I'm not asking about whether or not it exists.

I recall seeing an answer for that in another thread along the lines of
"Wellit doesn't, but since all references to Mozilla were set to be
replaced by Trisquel upon building"
I've got an HP laserjet at my home (it's not quite mine admittedly), works
great with Trisquel (and it prints out such beautiful things!)
Theoretically though if they license unlicensed code under a free license it
makes the software free - with those freeing them at the mercy of Google and
American courts.
Or am I wrong?

Why not opt for Abrowser instead? (Its parent had adblock before Chrome was
conceived, and I'm thinking the same for the tab extension you want).
Ahem, anyway, there seems to exist parts of Chromium where the licensing is

There's this fake MS Fonts package in the AUR that creates aliases fooling
the OS into thinking fonts like Arial are present.
Ahem, getting them to work on Trisquel...someone? Anyone? Pleeease?
:)
Err.Chrome's extensions (and the browser itself) were predated by
Firefox's extensions and were actually inspired by it I think.
I don't see hoe Chrome's got more power than Firefox, upon which IceCat and
Abrowser were copied almost (but not quite) verbatim.
You should also add a note about how it makes people controlled by computers
and, in effect, those that make it.
What's the battery life with the Macbook 2,1?
Yeah all I was saying was that it's nice Francis can charge highly for
knowing where to hit the hammer (and for wanting to - installing Libreboot on
the thing is a bit harder than simply hitting the hammer somewhere as in the
analogy) presumably because more people want him to meaning he can
Metoo - I consider 40kb/s as decent (I usually get around 120 too though)!
Personally I like to think that the onlyreason Minifree seems to have raised
the price of things is because the demand for them has risen - a very good
thing!
Honestly I recommend building your own PC (if you have the time that is,
otherwise...it's still not the world's worst crime not to).
Surely Intel Iris 6200 (comes with Broadwell ix-5xxxC CPUs) would be enough
for something like that? Or am I mistaken?
I reckon I can get an old T400 myself somewhere, buy a new 9-cell battery for
it, and take the HDD from my Ivy Bridge Celeron laptop, and spend way below
the Libreboot's price (nice to see they're able to chase big margins now, it
seems!).
Now, let's see when do I get around into trying
Games, AND NOTHING ELSE (excuse all-caps) come close to actually, technically
requiring discrete cards as far as I know.
For best graphics performance without discrete cards though, just get a
Broadwell (not skylake, not Haswell), or ix-5xxxC processor and then go
without a discrete card.
Recordmydesktop ?
Kazam?
I really doubt it's because of something other than Windows and gaming
consoles being so popular...(i.e. it's Money and nothing more than that
if you ask me).
Firmware better be vrij.
Firmware better be Free. vrij. Vry. Libre. You get the idea.
If they don't release the firmware libre, what are the chances of a
successful kickstarter (OK we'll need another money-raising scheme, but you
get the idea) to bribe them into releasing it?
Parabola (based on Arch) is Libre, Arch isn't, but Parabola should otherwise
be treated as Arch (fro it's otherwise pretty much identical), so why opt for
Arch over it?
And they've got a graphical Live ISO as well
https://wiki.parabola.nu/Get_Parabola#Graphical_live_ISO (although
To answer OP: That's a problem the aswer for which is different for every
individual. But it's still non-free software.
Note that Skylake's ix-6xxxK's graphics are worse than the ix-5xxxC graphics
(the "C" was used in Broadwell for a reason). (Of course this doesn't go for
haswell, etc)
Skylake laptops will probably get better graphics than Broadwell, so yeah
that'll be interesting.
Arch?
Go for PARABOLA instead (works with the AUR as well - or terribly, as Arch
does)! https://parabola.nu/
Anyway, regarding the DE (surely you mwant Budgie?) does trying to install it
to Debian via it Ubuntu PPA work (it might - that's how I installed Abrowser
on Debian!)?
If you're going to hell it'd be because of how half-ars*d your attempt was at
actually making it convincing (I mean, flat-coloured panel and XP-logo-only
Start button?) :)
Any USB connection menu showed by the tablet when the tablet (it's Android,
isn't it?) gets plugged in?
Coupled with http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/06/arc-gtk-theme they'll be
perfect for Trisquel 8!

Why not just get a USB controller for it and download an emulator?
If posible (it better be), just ask (or take a look) at what exactly the
Wi-Fi card is and then look it up on a search engine or post it here and I
think it'll take you a long way.
Nothing beats Synaptic :)
I actually find Pamac to be the 2nd-best GUI front-end to any package manager
- maybe tied with YaST (haven't tried OpenSUSE in years!)
Have a steering wheel? Try Speed Dreams.
Haven't got one? Forget it. Just forget it. For. Get. It.
Post said Parabola though:)
At least you can now nicely recommend non-branded versions of FF...
I'm pretty sure the graphics card can work nicely with Trisquel.
As for Wi-Fi, you'll have to ask Chris but I think the laptop will run
whatever replacement Wi-Fi card you throw at it, no?
Try ESC (if holding doesn't work try pressing multiple times).
Actually I think this is, in some way, good news.
There's now an official, Mozilla-made, version of what for all intents and
purposes is really Iceweasel.
And, I guess much less significantly, there'll probably a Windows or OS X
version of it too!
