I have another family member on the LAN with his Losedows7 hardcore game machine. I want to set up a household wiki so we can communicate without having to walk to opposite ends of the house or happen to run into each other with our varied schedules. So I'll want a port that is open to local

Wow, that's very helpful Mampir, I will install nginx for sure once I get my screen resolution problem figured out. Don't want to install any more packages in case I decide to start over with a fresh install. Once I get that fixed and install nginx your post will give me a great starting

Haven't given up yet. I wonder if I have conflicts between packages and could benefit from reinstalling and going straight to the jxself 4.x kernel as a starting point. I did make a very small partition for /var/log and recieved a message that it was almost full. Mostly was kern.log (76 MB)

About iptables, why are you setting those rules? It seems pointless to me. It doesn't give you any security. A connection on a given port can't happen, if there aren't any programs listening there. Maybe I'm reading the rules wrong since I rarely use iptables. I like to run MySQL and

I did follow instructions right down the line (didn't need the 'little bash function.') Ran $sudo apt-get install linux-libre64 linux-libre64-header and $ sudo update-grub and rebooted. It looks like it is going to work, though I see a message for a moment something about 'nouveau fault a'

It's already installed and I see it is well supported by nouveau and I was hoping to avoid the rolling back to an earlier kernel. So far it's worse than the Radeon card I had giving me 1028 X 768 resolution for a 1920 X 1080 monitor. It works fine in Fedora. Any suggestions?

Hey leny2010, that looks great! I will give that a try in a bit. I hadn't imagined I could run a 4.x kernel in Trisquel. I am using Belenos, hopefully that won't make a difference. I will report.

Thanks! Lembas and Magic Banana, I was reviewing the Debian doc and saw a big error in my thinking, I thought it had suggested /usr be on a separate partition but it never does. ...one more partition whose use is to be estimated to avoid under/over-dimensioning but Any directory tree

I didn't see your input MB and Lembas My Trisquel was dieing. First time it hung instead of shutting down, then would only boot 3.13 kernel which messes with my resolution. Then wouldn't boot at all at least in part because certain file systems (/tmp and /var/log) were mounting read only.

Thanks for the input Magic Banana, hope I do not exasperate! My Trisquel Desktop seems to be pretty close to hosed right now so I'm back in Centos7. Looks like I'll be reinstalling sooner than I wanted. You know that LVM is not a type of filesystem, right? Well, uh no. Sorry to be a dunce.

I've been thinking about this too. I had Centos and Fedora installed and had given them the lion share of a 1 TB hd. Then I found Trisquel and gave it the rest (about 130 GB). Now I'm thinking to start over. I like Trisquel 7 very much and would use it by default most of the time. I might do
