Hello. I recently upgraded to Trisquel 8.0. You've done an excellent job on
that so thanks.
I played around with desktop environments a little on an HDD before picking
one to install on my SSD. My verdict is this:
- GNOME - too heavy. Only in Trisq 7 anyway
- KDE - WAY too heavy.
- MATE
Plus I've already come up with two possible names (see title)
its using a standard bluetooth protocol for audio. so i would like to
think the software is fairly robust. like plugging in a usb flash drive.
check gnome settings for bluetooth. the pair it and in sound settings
select it for output device/thingy.
Hi,
I've recently upgraded to Trisquel 8 with KDE Plasma 5.5.5. Overall, I'm very
impressed. Especially having petsc-complex and slepc-complex available in the
repositories as they are a pain to build from source.
Anyway, I have a really weird problem. In LibreOffice Calc, I cannot see the

Hi,
Any one else using Triskel 8? How do you set custom keyboard shortcuts? All

I have recently upgraded to Trisquel 8, KDE Plasma 5.5.5 from Trisquel 7 with

Good idea. Done :)
I fixed it!
I had to do

Alt+Tab, etc.
This was based on this Q

This seems like a bug in Triskel
Thank you for your quick reply.
This is just a test install on a spare hard drive before I upgrade my main
SSD from Trisquel 7 to Trisquel 8, so I will try to get KDE working, if not
I'll try MATE and if that's good then I'll do a fresh MATE install from the
ISO.
Thanks for the tips
Thank you for your quick reply.
Ok, tried that, didn't work. I ran:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install
But it was fully installed and up-to-date already. I also have
triskel-recommended fully installed and up-to-date.
Any more ideas on how I can fix this?
Is this a bug
I just installed Trisquel 8.0 with KDE. I'm not sure if I like KDE. I would
like to try MATE instead. How can I install MATE so I can try it instead?
If I then decide to use MATE, I won't need KDE anymore. So how would I
uninstall KDE?
Thanks :)
I just installed Trisquel 8.0 with KDE. I can't switch windows or close
windows. There are no close/enlarge buttons in the corner of the windows.
Common keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab Alt+F4 don't do anything.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks

a front-end that will ultimately be performing the same actions as the
