What do you mean "change back"? You must have set your password. If you did
that in Grub recovery, then at the login screen, type your password and log
in.

I changed the picture there (background.png). It only applies to the splash
screen. My mistake was to assume it would apply for login screen as well.
Are you in Grub or TTY? TTY is completely different.
It's been a while. I can't give you the exact names of the packages (I would
if I remembered them and I didn't write them down). Try to find them by name
(synaptic). All I can recall I tried a few packages and eventually I got all
dependencies right.
Create a new account
# adduser peter
You don't type the hashtag.
just type 'adduser peter' (without quotes)
# = root prompt
$ = user prompt
You should see all the account names on the login screen. If you want to
leave TTY1 and go to X, press ctrl+alt+F7.
If you added the new user correctly, this is what you see:
myaccount@trisquel:~$ sudo adduser newuser
[sudo] password for myaccount:
Adding user `newuser' ...
Adding new group `newuser' (1002) ...
Adding new user `newuser' (1002) with group `newuser' ...
Creating home directory `/home/newuser' ..
For those concerned that Grub lets drop to root shell prompt so easily,
there's a way to generate a password for Grub.

I tried Trisquel 8 live session.
Icedove works and sends mail. There's no problem with authentication. I think
the only limiting factor is disk space (live session RAM disk: 4 GB, based on
available memory).
Why not use a compatible graphics tablet with Trisquel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_tablet
I think some Wacom tablets work with free software, though I've never tried
one myself. People in the know should step in.
Why go this route, ass-backwards? I mena "install and then remove."
Use netinstall ISO image, install the basic minimum CLI interface and only
add software you need.
I think you're missing something indeed.

It shouldn't matter which way you do what you're trying to do. Synaptic is a
frontend GUI for apt.
That said, I'm not at all sure what your incentive is. I understood, maybe
mistakenly, that you for some reason unknown need to run Trisquel off a live
CD/DVD.

X11 is needed and it's not installed together with the desktop environment.

I can't find a way to get the Trisquel panel right. I installed mate-tweak
and chose "Redmond". What's the package for Trisquel single panel?
I can't make it work. The default look and feel is basic Ubuntu Mate if
installed piecemeal. Only if I install package 'trisquel' which installs
everything (almost one gigabyte), I get it right.
Yeah, that did it.
'lspci' is a terminal command. Type it in terminal and hit enter. It'll tell
you what the PCI cards are.
You can choose whichever directory/folder you wish. Cd means 'change
directory'. ~/ is you home directory.
The yellow box has multiple commands which must be executed line by line.
Are you saying the path is too long and you are getting an error?
You have blanks in the names. Put 'store n go' in quotes and you should be
ok.
Abrowser is the default browser. It's a rebranded Firefox with better privacy
settings, albeit not as restricting as Icecat would be. Ruben calls its
settings "sane".
Other than Abrowser or Midori: Netsurf, Epiphany (labeled 'Web', package
epiphany-browser), Qupzilla, Konqueror, Icecat. Trisquel only includes
free/libre software in its repositories.
There must be a reason why Seamonkey is not included, but it can be

You need Guest Additions to get a better resolution in VB.
VB is non-free. The OP is trying Trisquel as a guest in VB or what? What is
the host OS? There must be somethig I don't get here.
Anyway, one doesn't install drivers inside a guest OS. The VB host provides
for the drivers.
I'm afraid there's no way to make it work with free drivers. You can check
'sudo iwconfig' if its recognized. Network manager has terminal commands
'nmtui' and 'nmcli'. Try 'nmcli device show'.
If not, then check h-node for any additional information -- or give up and

I would look the other way if somebody decided to try Trisquel, a free libre
OS, on a proprietary platform using Virtualbox.
More often than not the (USB live) system is so slow to boot or complete the
boot that the screamer starts on its own.
It's a hidden folder '.icedove' (without quotes) that you must backup and
restore.
Netinstall ISO has two partitions sdb1 and sdb2.
sdb 8:16 1 14.4G 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 131M 0 part
└─sdb2 8:18 1 6M 0 part /media/user/Firmware
I don't think macs can boot DOS partitions without a boot manager such as
rEFInd.
It's Openbox. LXDE uses Openbox as the window manager.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openbox
I burned the ISO to CD-ROM. Now it shows up at Boot Manager (Option down) as
EFI Boot, but it won't actually boot the OS from it. Only a "minimal grub
environment" is shown.
Here are the contents of the disc.
Yes, backing up and restoring the hidden folder in its entirety is the easy
way. On a fresh install, .icedove only contains one file -- profiles.ini.
Once started, another folder inside will be added -- randomly named eg.
'2323hg67.default'.
It's possible to start the profile manager (if mu
Just one more thing. I've found out that compressing the folder (making a
tarball) is an easy way to backup the Icedove folder conveniently in one
place. Restoring the tarball (extracting) has an option to overwrite existing
files.
Tar is a useful utility, either command line or with a GUI
You don't tell any details. What is the machine you are trying Trisquel on?

Please note that I'm not "suggesting" anything, nor do I think it will be of
use in your issue. Basically, I think you've broken your system. Only a
complete reinstall will do th job.
It's just a friendly reminder that there's a nice little file manager out
there, now that you asked.
How? Please tell what you did.
Well of course, many people do.

There's another lightweight Window Manager/Desktop Environment to try: fvwm.
When installed, click on the desktop and choose fvwm95 script.
sudo apt install fvwm
Install package trisquel-mini and trisquel-mini-recommended.
Trisquel Mini is the same what in Ubuntu they would call Lubuntu, with LXDE.
If you need a fast GUI on low resources, use fvwm. You can't get lower than
that these days. I've used fvwm successfully on Intel Atom.
"Newbies" or modern users conflate OS with the GUI. The GUI is only candy.
You don't need a GUI. UNIX is a black screen with white text on it.
It's there: 3. Setup 95 script
Fvwm 95 behaves a lot like Windows 95. There's a pager to choose between four
preinstalled workspaces.
Netinstall lets you pick whichever DE you want.
i3wm is a nice tiling window manager. Best of both worlds, it has a GUI but
it relies on keyboard shortcuts a lot. Tiling means no overlapping windows.

Opening more than two windows seems to do that. You can Alt-e or Alt-s to
change horizontal/vertical/tab modes. Use Abrowser if you find this annoying.
I believe Netsurf is lighter on resources. Or Dillo. Of course, CLI browsers
Lynx, Links are lightweights in their own right.

There is no root password. Use sudo su instead.
With Debian, root is optional.
https://wiki.debian.org/Root
Arch (GNU) Linux installs root by default, and the regular user is only
created after the first boot. It used to be this way in Fedora, not anymore.
With 'sudo -i' you get root's directory, using 'sudo su' you stay where you
were when you typed that command.
