I've filed a bug about the missing updates
https://trisquel.info/en/issues/5876
I wouldn't do business with paypal. They're infamous for freezing accounts
randomly and stealing any money on it.
I'll never be able to close it except by restarting.
You can use for example the xkill command if this unfortunate situation
should repeat. Open a terminal or alt+F2, punch in the command and then point
and click the offending window.
Is there any problems associated with partitioning for and adding a third
OS, generally?
If a distro installs an older version of the GNU GRUB bootloader or another
bootloader altogether it might not detect your current distros. Restoring the
bootloader could be tricky.
So, like always,
Something which I'm failing at by not having figured out how to properly
quote comments in the forum software yet :)

Thanks to kpengboy GustavoCM there is now a fix. You can fairly easily
apply it yourself. See https://trisquel.info/en/issues/12270#comment-56900
First try running those from the terminal to see if you get an error message.
(You could hold the shift key during reboot to get into the GRUB menu where
you can choose which kernel to boot.
And if you really want you can uninstall the new kernel if it's indeed to
blame.)
Probably the nicest way is to use the Synaptic package manager. Search for
linux-image among the installed packages.
Let's not link non-free stuff, mmk?
Maybe the FSF could setup a crowdfunding effort to write free firmware for
various devices. This could be interfaced with h-node. This way people could
easily chip in to free software development. And firmware hackers would get
employed.
I guess the feasibility of such a scheme depends on
uname -r
I believe it defaults to the newest kernel installed, so probably yes.
Looks like lxpanel has profiles and LXDE is using profile LXDE and mini is
using Trisquel-mini. You can find the profiles here

Agree with onpon4. Use the shell tab completion feature when typing the path:
Type a few letters of a name in a path and then hit tab. The shell will
suggest you the existing filenames that could complete your path or if there
is only one matching, then add that.
And you can bind that to the keys for controlling brightness if the xev
command sees them.

At least on tris 6 you can find the credentials for your install at

Trisquel 7 is not yet a release but a beta and bugs are to be expected. Guess
you just found one.
I already added a link here to that issue, so I guess there is no need to do
more here.
However if you find another, you can find a link titled Issues on the right
hand side menu and one the issues page a Create a new issue button.
If you're not sure whether something is a bug perhaps it's
And if that's a no-go then perhaps try a gparted live media.
1) backup your stuff, just in case
2) get gparted http://gparted.org/livecd.php
3) boot off it and prepare the partitions, e.g. a simple setup would be:
*a swap partition size of your RAM if you intend to hibernate
*at least a 10 gig
Looks like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so is missing. Install
libgl1-mesa-dri. (or the matching lts version of it if you have a newer x.)
I'm afraid it's not that simple. Your options include
*building the client yourself
*trying to install that package for 7 into 6
*finding a backport (e.g. a PPA)
*upgrading to the beta version of 7
I suggest you try building it yourself. I suppose somewhere on the owncloud

I guess that wasn't it then. The xserver is a thingy behind graphical

You can also dragdrop a .xpi onto a abrowser window.

Wasn't Trisquel going to be moved to being based on Debian?
No but it was based on Debian in the ancient past. (gNewSense did transition
vice versa)
Is this Trisquel or Trisquel mini? Version 6? Is this a fresh install? What
happens?
It's not an exhaustive list but what users like you and me submit there.
Probably the usual: don't install random crap from the net but stick to the
repos. Use the NoScript extension for abrowser and whitelist with care. Apply
updates regularly. And don't run servers you don't need or have unused
packages installed. etc etc

You did the right thing when you used sudo when it said no permission.
However, the output redirect part (the in the command) is tricky with sudo,
that's why tee is needed.
Binding keys is pretty straightforward with most keys. But the fact
The need for the extra boot parameters depends on the hardware, so your
mileage may vary.

Those both chown commands you mention should work and are the same. It is
normal with many commands if there is no error you get no output. You can use
the ls -l /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness command before and
after the chown command to see the file change owner and group.

That may be so but since the default copyright status is all rights reserved

For extra credits you could see if the xev command sees the Fn+right combo. I

Looks like that in Tris 6 it's baked in the default kernel as a module.
