Hello, new user here.
I've just installed the Trisquel 6.0 RC3, and am loving it so far. I've
managed to get Unity installed, as that's my preferred DE right now.
My only problem is - I'm not getting the menus come up in the top bar like I
used to in Ubuntu. Is this possible in Trisquel?
Hi,
I'm trying to make 3D acceleration work on my new GeForce GT 610 with nouveau
(Trisquel 6). I've updated to linux-libre 3.7.1 using jxself's repo, but was
hoping someone could help me with the xorg side of things. Currently, I've
only got 2D so no Unity or Gnome shell.
Thanks for any
Thanks but I have that package installed already, according to apt. Also I do
have toutatis-updates enabled already. Is there some other repository I
should be using?
Thanks for helping but it's still not working.
Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

I agree that basing on LTS is the logical choice for now, but imo Trisquel

Yeah this is probably the best approach, I think.
Use LTS for now, but keep an eye on Canonical and if they get too out-of-hand

This news about Ubuntu 14.04 is indeed troubling.
To be honest, I'm not sure what the solution is - but I think it's pretty
clear that it will become harder and harder to provide a free distro based on
Ubuntu, as it becomes less and less free.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

You might be on to something there. But IMO there would have to be a few more
backported packages than just the kernel and some drivers. A web browser, for
example.
PPAs are great, but we don't want users relying on them too much, because
If MIR is free and works with GNOME, then it's worth considering for
Trisquel. We could potentially use Mir with GNOME3 shell and software
rendering as the default setup, with the option to install free graphics
drivers where they exist.
