Hello everybody
Okay so I have tried installing Trisquel on computers before and what I found
is that the graphics card is often not properly supported so it can't power
the full display resolution as the proprietary driver thats required to make
it work has been removed. I have also found
Pretty much just follow the advice for installing cyanogenmod like unlocking
bootloader if locked, installing custom recovery. Only thing thats a bit
different is that your flashing an image file instead of a zip file.
Okay so it's better to use Intel graphics as Nvidia and ATI are not well
supported.
Thanks mason that explains some issues but is there a more technical
explanation as to why it isn't so simple as to just remove proprietary bits.
I am glad that Microsoft office supports open formats now because I remember
years ago when I was at school my teachers actually had open office installed
so they could read open formats and that was great but when they upgraded
there computers they didn't want to bother installing it for
Oh I am happy to wait I just wanted to know what the development process was
because I thought all they had to do was remove proprietary bits and be done
with it
You can download anti virus software for linux called clamav and you can also
download calmtk which is the graphical interface for clamav and just scan any
thing you download from the internet with that. There are also paid anti
virus products for linux but clamav is free.
The entire point of running Trisquel is to run a system thats fully free
software if this isn't your goal then I suggest installing Ubuntu instead and
running it with the proprietary bits you require. As far as I know only Intel
graphicss is fully supported under Trisquel for hardware
Oh they actually have the development image up on the download site now so
thats cool hopefully it wont take much longer.
I would use Tor as my main browser for privacy concerns but it's like
browsing the internet on dial up speeds and a lot of websites block it now
days.
You could try Disk Utility that some times works when Gparted doesn't

No popcorn time isn't legal if you are downloading or streaming copyrighted
material like movies or tv shows. How ever the likely hood of actually
getting caught is small.
G'day Trisquel Forums.
I am running Trisquel Mini 8.0 64-Bit.
I can't stand using FSF web browsers such as Abrowser or Icecat or Iceweasel
and would rather use Firefox or Chromium so I have gone ahead and installed
them on my system.
But I am wondering why are these web browsers removed
