In addition they should be available in the en-US locale only.My

Anyway what your exact model of laptop?
Then again I'm fairly sure the problem is only with the current user as well
:)
Yeah, though I don't think the lack of libre-addons-only page fro Chromium
should be used against it since should it be made fully, verifiably free, and
enter trisquel's repos (and Parabola's), it shouldn't be long before such an
addons page appears.
I'm pretty sure the tolerance is one of the exact reasons this thread was
started, actually.
What about those with metal-chassis laptops?

Is trisquel-base installed (I think that particular metapackage takes care of
dragging sound packages towards being installed on your system)?
I suggest installing trisquel-base (it's the cheapest, albeit a slightly
inefficient in terms of number of packages installed, way to make sure things
go well on the computer (i.e. Archive-opening, sound-playing, etc).
It suggested posfix configuration during the install.
You could've just selected No configuration.now if I'm not mistaken
that may have left quite a few packages unconfigured. You may end up getting
asked to dosudo dpkg --configure -a by Synaptic/APT(in which case you should
just do
or pick the dependencies one by one whenever I have an issue. Even if you
go down that route I doubt you'll really have to pick the dependencies
one-by-one. It's won't be that hard :)
And rather than trying Arch I think you should try Parabola instead. It's
Libre Arch, basically.
If you try to add an applet using what is described in

If it does, is thee a keyboard layout applet you can choose?
Thanks.
I'm a bit concerned though about the fonts installed by default that don't
come with otf, or ttf or font in their package names.
Any such things?
Screenshot?
What are the names of the font packages installed by default in Trisquel's
LiveCD? (I always debootstrap and there seems to neither be an Ubuntu nor
Trisquel default font metapackage, apart from Ubuntu Studio's which seems to
ask for non-free fonts).
What desktop shell are you using?
Have you tried changing he theme using lxappearance (and maybe installing the
package from Sysnaptic as well instead of simply copying from the CD, since
installing the package means that whatever packages the theme depend on will
be installed as well)?
I may be wrong but I don't thinm Synaptic's to be blamed at all here.
Anyway, do you use Synaptic by su-ing and then entering su to the command as
root. If so, try using lxappearance as root.
Wait, I'm pretty sure Trisquel mini came with policykit-1-gnome installed.
What got it removed?
1. Open terminal
2. sudo su -c passwd
3. Enter password
4. Use root account.

I don't think that's really the problem though, considering that Todd's qutes
regarding impossible-ness are, at the end of the day, correct. I think he's
correct about that part.
It's just that, when the least vague description of his attempts at freeing
the laptops are quotes of things
the fact that an assertion from a known figure is formatted as a “quote”
doesn't makes it any more valid, and often it makes it less valid, because it
is taken out of context.
Exactly the case here.

that's not the default in any of the 2710p's).

Anyway is it technically possible for Chris to do computers with AMD CPU +

such a thing.
How is it working now (looking to get an Nvidia card myself)
A Processor and an AMD GPU a free-software-friendly computer does not make.
What about an AMD Processor + an Nvidia GPU (old enough not to ask for signed

knowledge something like that should work well.
Will it?
...Yeah but I actually meant providing the FAQ on the home page before the

Now, I think Quidam should make it official.

I've got no idea what ATA Enhanced Erase is, but if I'm not mistaken, I

I'm no expert so I can't fully understand the ATA Secure erase page (it seems
to also make data irrecoverable by recovery programmes if done to an SSD).

I would certainly not mind losing mine if the laptop I'm typing this on had a

Any Wi-fi card laying around unused that can be tried?

2. perform sudo update-grub from the terminal.
Guys from Ubuntu and Debian, yes (and if, IF you don't trust any of those
guys then why trust the rest of Trisquel's repos?).
Which version of Trisquel are you using?
And Systemd's not one programme, it's an umbrella prohject of programmes that

BTW, Mono applications seem to have quietly left GNOME in the recent years,

Personally I find it easier to customise LXDE, and I find KDE TDE more
customiseable.
The panel+nautilus, at the very least, certainly formed a shell though (which
way why Nautilus couldn't be replaced and why Caja can't be replaced in
MATE).
I'm pretty sure LXDE's default text editor is Leafpad.
Not in 3, but if you want GNOME 2's shell but without GNOME Terminal and
without Nautilus (or maybe only Nautilus?), good luck!
