Hi. I attempted to upgrade to 6.0 using the Update Manager but I encountered
this problem:
It starts the Downloading the release upgrade too process, but a few
seconds in it gives an error message. The error message is titled

I'm trying to install Replicant on my phone, for the exact same ideological
reasons I run Trisquel on my PC.
I ran into some problems during the installation, and posted about it here:
http://redmine.replicant.us/boards/3/topics/603
During discussion in that thread, it came to seem that the
Okay, I tried your suggestion...
First step of three, an error message about unment dependencies.
Specifically, ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not
installable
Moving on to step two, there is no such directory as /usr/share/libcapi20-3
Not sure how to proceed...
So after I wrote that last post, I went in Nautilus to go look at the
directories where the script would change the changelogs to ending with
.old, and low and behold, they were already .old. What I realize now is,
first I did steps 1 through 4, then realized I had forgotten to do the
Yes indeed, Armworm your suggestion of booting from a 32 bit Trisquel live cd
worked and I have now successfully installed Replicant. Thank you very much
for all the help you have given me to reach this point.
leny2010, thank you very much for your suggestion as well. Now that I've
In the past, whenever I've installed GNU/Linux to run along side another
operating system (specifically I have installed Ubuntu this way in the past),
it has been very easy. The installer has had an option install Ubuntu along
side ___.
However, I am currently trying to install
Hmm it sounds like this is my problem because indeed Windows is already using
4 partitions.
First, one that Windows calls Recovery Partition. It's 16GB, with 16GB
free.
Second, one that Windows calls System, Active, Primary Partition. It's
200MB with 166MB free.
Third, one that
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now in 6.0.1. I'm concerned
about my system not being up to date.

I ran sudo apt-get upgrade as suggested by Magic Banana and this fixed the
problem *for me*. Thank you Magic Banana :)
Please don't anyone close the bug report on the basis of SVTony's and my
experience!
There are lots of non-technical users who don't know any other way to update
I'd like to point out that Skype users did *NOT* agree to being tracked.

Thanks to everyone who works on Trisquel!
Some feedback:
The most important priority for any operating system should be security. I
think it's pretty obvious that no one wants their system remotely tampered
with by bad people.
If a supported Trisquel release is not getting all the
It's the same for me. I still can't install updates using the graphical
update mananger due to this problem.
Recently the update manager showed thirty something updates available. I
opened the update manager and experienced the problem this thread is about.
So I ran sudo apt-get upgrade.
Right after I made this post I tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (thanks
Christianity) and that installed the last two updates.
So where it stands now, I do have a way to install all the updates via the
terminal, but the update manager is broken and I have no fix for it.
Thank you for these replies.
I didn't find the solution per se, but it's not causing me a problem
anymore... I had installed Trisquel Mini and I decided to install the full
thing instead. Once I installed the full, non Mini version of Trisquel, the
setting was right there under mouse and
Hello.
You know the feature where if you tap the touchpad, it clicks? I don't want
it. To me, it's just a risk of clicking on things accidentally.
On every GNU/Linux distribution I've used so far, I've been able to disable
this feature. In Trisquel 6.01, I went to settings, Mouse and
Hi lembas, thank's for the suggestion.
Yes I already tried that. Actually I've made a bunch of changes to the
settings and I don't seem to be having the problem any more. I'm not sure
what exactly fixed it.
I like to keep my settings on Use custom, Always use private browsing mode,
I'd have to say the transition is not going smoothly so far.
Just as an example, take the case of a new user of Trisquel 7.0 who is
accustomed to installing software from Add/Remove Applications. He goes to
Add/Remove Applications, and searches for Thunderbird (because he's used it

Thank you, onpon4, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I'm experiencing a horrifying bug in LibreOffice 4.2.7.2 on Trisquel 7.
It has two parts. First, when deleting text using the backspace key, it only
deletes slowly, one letter at a time (even when I press the key much more
frequently or hold it down). But then, once I've released the

I used to use Trisquel 6.0.1, which had Nautilus 3.4.2.
In that version of Nautilus, I could right click in a directory, and select

Hi.
I'm using Abrowser in Trisquel 7.
In the preferences, I've selected When using the location bar, suggest:

Why? What can be done?
Hi leny2010, thanks for the reply.
Samba is already installed. If it weren't, networking with SMB networks
wouldn't work at all, poorly or otherwise.
Still looking for a solution to this issue.
Thanks.

Okay, I guess you're probably right.
I was also having this problem (when installing software, warning saying the
packages cannot be authenticated).
This was on Trisquel 7. I had not made any changes to the default software
sources, mirror, trusted signing key, or any other Software Updates
settings.
The default mirror
Hello,
Any thoughts at all will be greatly appreciated. This is causing me
significant problems.
Thanks!
No, it doesn't. I like to assume good faith, so I assume that this was a
sincere question.
To which my answer would be, if your daughter is capable of using Microsoft
Windows or Mac OS, then she is most likely capable of using Trisquel and will
most likely find it satisfactory.
This is such a terrible attitude.
The vast majority of computer users will *never* type anything into a command
line, ever. The vast majority of computer users simply will not use an
operating system the use of which requires them to type anything into a
command line, and nothing anyone
By the way, I did indeed install Icedove using the terminal. My original
post was a general commentary about the transition to Icedove, not a request
for help. Perhaps that was not clear and if so I appologize.
My point here is that just use the terminal is not a good answer from a
Does anyone know of a way to accept credit or debit cards (in person) without

I am happy to report that after installing the package
linux-image-generic-hwe-8.0 this problem is solved.
Thank you so much to Magic Banana and to all who commented. It's hard to
express how helpful this has been. Thank you so much.
I recently purchased a Librem 13 laptop and installed Trisquel 8 on it.
Everything works great except:
The computer will not shut down. It hangs indefinitely on the screen with
the pulsing Trisquel logo.
This happens the same using the shut down button in the desktop GUI or using

Libreshop, thank you for your suggestions and link to the article about
different commands for shutting down.
Yes I did contact Puri.sm and they suggested that it could be an issue with
systemd, or the swap partition, and suggested I run the poweroff command and
see if I get any error
Hi chaosmonk.
This worked like a charm. I just added the crashed components back to the
panel as you suggested, no problem.
This thing happened once more, much, much later, and I just chose the
"reload" option and everything was fine.
Thank for you help.
Hi.
I'm trying to encrypt a hard drive which is not the boot drive (the boot
drive is already encrypted).
I tried doing this with "Disks". I selected the drive in question and
formatted it GPT. Then I added a partition LUKS + Ext4 and chose a name and
passphrase. Now the partition is
I got an error message, now I wish I could remember the exact message, it was
something about the workspace switcher crashed. There were two options, one
was something like reload workspace switcher, and the other was don't or
whatever.
Again, I wish I could remember the exact messages.
