I'd love that for Trisquel.
Not in the defeault install, but in the repo, that would be nice.
I wonder how complicated that would be (maybe there are complications since

this thread to at least be moved to the Troll hole. It has nothing to do with
Trisquel or free software.
You mean those things about copyright infringement and intellectual property?
By definition, they fit free software way more than that "imaginary" EU bill.

This helps understand what happens.

It's about getting the newest cool toy, it's very human.
But among people who actually get the job done, they sometimes work with very
archaic/simple tools and methods.
So it's a fact that Trisquel will always be a bit late.
But at least you know what's in there, and why it matters to you.
I commented the wlan related lines in /etc/network/interfaces
and made a reboot.
Still no grub, still having a delay.
Once booted, I tried your suggestion, and I'm still stuck at sudo dhclient.
after a minute or two, I still have no wifi up. I'll uncomment back my
interfaces file now.
I'm in the process of reinstalling the whole thing with encryption, but I can
tell you this: seeing that grub wasn't displayed, I went in Synaptics and saw
that grub 'not grub-pc) wasn't installed. I installed it, but nothing
changed.
Also, the grub parameters are identical to the ones on
/etc/network/interfaces was the culprit.
18 seconds from boot only now (still no grub displayed though).
I used ADFENO/root_vegetable method to get ethernet up.
I installed wicd.
Job done. No more plain wpa_supplicant if I can avoid it.
Thanks a lot for the help !
I'll write down all I need
Ah, so that's the reason for the absence of those folders.
Thanks for the info.
Ok, so let's recap:
For eth0, I've written 2 lines in /etc/network/interfaces.
It seems I can also make it work with a few commands.
Now I'm installing wicd, thus I need to put the interfaces file back to what

Oh right, thanks, trisquel-base might be useful.
Just for the sake of it, I'll see what packages it's made of, and pick the
ones I really need.
Thanks, I was wondering which was the smallest install between your
suggestion (server and bitmap fonts) and this one: "sudo apt-get install
--no-install-recommends xorg".
There must be a way to display the dependencies/the package contents in the
CLI/tty.
Nice, thanks! A bit more and I could live without Synaptics.
Thanks! So that would be sudo ifconfig ethX up or sudo ifconfig "ethX" "up"?
I just copied the content of interfaces from my main machine
(without even checking the number of the eth interface, which would have
probably been a bit troublesome on another network)

It seems I have sudo (at least it responds when accessing files with vi), but
my problem now is that I can't start X.
When I try i3, it tells me it cannot open display.
And I wonder if I need that "console environment" that is suggested at the

I ping some websites, no positive results.

Definitely. In my experience, LightDM needs some tweaking but is functional
out of the box. You indeed shouldn't need to manually start X in that case.
I didn't know that startx could be problematic with more than one

Will MATE launch automatically when I subsequently turn my computer on?
No, you need to start X (I don't remember, but I think the command is

Many thanks, I'll read and try right now.
Ok, I'm finishing my netinstall, and grub (grub2) refuses to install.
I choose to install it one the MBR (master boot record).
After trying to execute grub-install, I got this:
The execution of " grub-install /dev/sda " failed. This error is fatal.
Then I can either continue and try to install

All I have is a blinking cursor (a line) and I can write text if I want. But
nothing else happens.

describe it, it sounds like a safely editable "alias" (probably not the right
word).

Even with the netinstall, though grub wasn't displayed, I could boot when the

Though all I do is follow the Libreboot method to a

yes, unfortunately I did just that.
I'll try this now maybe:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1414124
no luck :(
I did that many times, it still stays on /dev/sda
Then I tried to refuse the grub install on the MBR, which gave me the
possibility to choose /dev/sdb instead.
It properly launches on /dev/sdb, but still fails...
The stick being in or out doesn't change a thing for me, whether it's
Noted, thank you.
I'm redoing the install quickly, and since grub-install didn't want to
install on either /dev/sda nor sdb, I'm seeing that my drive is sdXX_crypt.
I'll try that if it still fails.
Yes, and it's probably the better option, since it has an integrated
animation program inside.
The other one I was thinking of was Grafx2.
Basically, my idea was to separate your personal computing and data from
anything Cisco.
If you run a separated OS (or even several OS) in either:
- a virtual machine
- Wine, hardened preferably
- or another computer,
then even Javascript or the firmwares aren't much of an issue in terms of
This looks fun, yet the manual for level making is a bit overwhelming to me.
Basically, I need to get Tiled, the game or the game demo, and get a specific
file from the game that I can modify with Tiled? I didn't read it all, but it
seems there is much more to it.
Pixel art programs are also worth it (I know 2 of them in the repo, can't
remember the names right now).
What I would do in your boat:
- Online services? $$$ and also javascript, most likely non-free.
- Real Cisco equipment? Besides the money, is it required, or just
recommended for the course?
- Run Packet Tracer on Wine: sounds like an option, though I'd add some
Apparmor and Firejail to Wine.
Maybe try to delete and reinstall again. I doubt just restating the computer
would fix anything here.
Maybe try PhotoRec first:
PhotoRec is a companion program to TestDisk, also included in this Hive Five.
Like TestDisk, this app is also devoid of a GUI, but likewise is quite
powerful at file recovery. We're including PhotoRec independently of TestDisk

So the image is burned to the CD.
Why, during the install, would it accept installing GRUB on my encrypted

I've made progress, but problems don't end:

Oh, so you did LUKS over LVM then. I did the opposite.
I doubt mine is really safer (preventing access to the LVM partitions in the
first place); plus yours allows stretching partitions over several physical

My bad. I'll read what you said again then.
I suppose it is, since it's in the / partition.
So I need a dedicated unencrypted /boot partition in that case? How come?

Sweet. With the encrypted /boot nearly working, even without Libreboot, it's

Regarding partitioning, it's very standard:
I encrypted the whole thing, then I partitioned it as one / ext4 partition,
Nice, I'm glad it worked :)
I wonder what the difference is between having those commands in
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, and not having the commands but removing /boot from

The weird thing is that I don't have a /boot entr in fstab, only
/dev/mapper/main and /dev/mapper/swap.
No, you don't need a GRUB password. If I'm not mistaken, a GRUB password is
meant to prevent unauthorized access to GRUB, nothing more.
So that means you had no alert during the install that GRUB failed to
install?
Due to encryption (without it, GRUB get installed properly), I had to finish
Trisquel's installation without a bootloader.
So after booting, I only had a blank screen, no way to input anything. Maybe
GRUB was
In my attempt to install grub over a Netinstall 'that fails to install grub,

I definitely agree.
I find strange that the maintainer(s) would do such a mistake continuously.
Are you sure there's no missing info on this issue?
I remember seeing Abrowser being part of the updates a few "months" ago.
Is there a way to see the update history of a program?
Thanks for the .desktop file tip. It's useful for also launching scripts I
suppose. And to pre-configure a launch with parameters, like with Firejail

I see -_-" ...
*Ahem* so then the latest update I have about abrowser is from November 10
2015. it says version 41.0.2,
while abrowser --version in the CLI gives me 44.0.2.
Either way, both are dangerously outdated.
Thanks for this.
That would mean I'd have to do this every 4 months or so, just to be
up-to-date?

some reason.
I'm on IRC as hack2, I made my point about the browsers update, but nobody's

I can understand, but isn't that a priority over many other things? To me,
the browser is one of the more "fragile" programs, the more prone to attacks.
Thanks. /var/log I could find, though I only found a search history in

There are options indeed, but that means that Trisquel isn't enough by
default. And since I recommend it around me, that's problematic. Not for my
reputation, but for their security.
I find ESR more interesting because I don't have to care about it for at
least 10 months.
Personally, the less time I spend tweaking or maintaining my OS, the better.
I know, I've spent an insane amount of time lately just to have a lightweight
but functional OS. But hopefully I'm nearly
True, I mean I don't want this issue to be associated with the usual
persistent complaints about aesthetics or user-friendliness or the latest
packages. This is critical because it's about security updates regarding a
vulnerable and exposed program.
That's how I found the search history I talk about above, but there seems to
be no update history or version history in Synaptic.
Thanks, then I'll ask him on IRC.
For now, I'll probably try one of the suggestions about installing Firefox.
I see, so ESR is clearly the way to go, unless wanting the latest feature (I
personally don't care). By the way, Icecat may be ESR, but I just noticed
it's unsupported since 3 months ago.
The devs seem to be available on IRC, I suppose I'll go ask them about all
this.
Oh, so it has nothing to do with Trisquel, but with the specific programs

browsers. But maybe the alternatives aren't better.
Then besides Tor, what would be another alternative, in your opinion?
