Yeah, I was searching for "icotool" in Synaptic, which was the reason why I
didn't find it - not sure what I was thinking. :P
Even wine installed fine this time.
I haven't tried it myself in Trisquel, but PlayOnLinux is written in Python
and doesn't need to be built.
On the PlayOnLinux download page, click "All distributions" and download the
generic package and extract it. Then run ./playonlinux (the file is actually
not an executable, it's a
I think I've found a fix - found an old post in the Ubuntu forums (2010) and
I just wanted to make sure to really test this before posting. I haven't had
any disconnects so far and tested it for a couple of days now.
There is two packages:
isc-dhcp-client
isc-dhcp-common
They were
I actually did install that one for a couple of days ago, but sadly it didn't
solve it.
However, I'm going test a couple of other ideas (will post the solution if
any of them works).
Yes, it's not really a big deal. It's mostly that I have been wondering about
this issue for some time because it seems to be present in some other distros
as well.
I found like 8-10 year old threads about this in other forums (sadly, not a
single one with a solution). There is also some
No, I guess I just included that line because it was the only thing happened
between login and the disconnect. I checked the log again and it seems to
occur every hour (17 minutes and 1 second):
Jul 8 03:17:01 desktop1 CRON[2390]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts
--report
I checked /var/log/syslog
This just happened like 40-50 minutes after startup:

--report /etc/cron.hourly)

I forgot to mention, I can easily re-connect by disable and then re-enable
the connection from the manager.
I've been testing Trisquel 8 Alpha for a couple of days and everything seemed
fine until yesterday when I got disconnected from the Internet (and it keep
happening from time to time - could be hours between them). Maybe not a big
deal, but the reason why I'm pointing this out is because this
I've been playing around with Vala for a while - it's very similar to Java
and C#.

(it's in the repos if you want to give it a try)
Is 6.0.1 available somewhere? I have an ISO of 6.0, but there was a few fixes
in 6.0.1.
Sure, but how?
Ah, I see. Thanks. :)
I actually tried gNewSense before Trisquel, and my problem with it was that
every package was very old, and I could only use resolutions up to 1024x768
(old nouveau drivers). Of course, there is probably some solutions, but why
not just use Debian, which is free software as long as you stay
Is /home mounted to a separate partition?
If yes, then just make sure you don't format that partition when installing
Trisquel 6.
Is 3.13 the latest version? I followed a guide, but it didn't fix the graphic
problems. Is jxself's repos taken down or is there a new guide somewhere?
I have upgraded to Trisquel 7, but the graphics is lagging when I move
windows, using menus and play games. I have compiz installed, but not sure if
it's activated. I tried to type 'compiz --replace' in the terminal, but that
just removes all window borders and stuff + I have tried to change
Never mind, I've removed the other graphics card and I'm going to use the
monitor for something else.
Yes, it's in the repos. But it only detects my current displays. (=ignoring
the second graphics card)
I've got a 3rd monitor which is connected to an older graphics card (I
grabbed that from my older computer).
Both graphics cards is detected, I can see them if I type lspci. When I run
xrandr, it shows all displays, but the 3rd monitor is disabled. My question
is, how do I enable it?
Why is my post from another forum thread + my e-mail in there?
Same clip = a lot of wires and equipment that doesn't prove a shit.
Then something must be broken. I get the following error when compiling an
application in Lazarus:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T?
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtk-x11-2.0
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdk-x11-2.0
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpango-1.0
According to a post I found in another forum:
libgtk2.0-dev
I get the following messages:
libgtk2.0-dev:
Depends: libpango1.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcairo2-dev but it is not going to be installed
libpango1.0-dev aldo needs libcairo2-dev
So, I try to install that
I downloaded the .deb package and tried to install it, but it needs the
'libgtk2.0-dev' package.
I also tried to run, apt-get install -f, but it didn't fix anything.
Yes, I tried to install Lazarus from the Trisquel repos for serveral weeks
ago. When I compile an application made in Lazarus, it can't find some of the
libraries (I think it's the lcl's you're mentioning).
I have similar problems with the gnome-panel, in some cases I can't add stuff
and sometimes it doesn't save changes (when I logout and then login again) -
for example, if I add the workspace item and change the number of workspaces,
it sets the number to 1 the next time I login (and if I
Yes, that works fine. But some of the changes I do to the panel is gone when
I login.
I've followed a few guides and it works fine to add the PPAs, but when I run
'sudo apt-get update', it can't find the cinnamon packages.
I don't know the specs of your computer, but you can try Trisquel Lite, which
have a lighter desktop environment installed by default or install XFCE.
Well, Vala looks interesting and I know how to code in Java and C# already,
so it wouldn't be hard to learn - yes, the syntax looks very similar.
I tried to install Lazarus from the repositories for some weeks ago, but the
LCL's you're mentioning is already removed. But, I agree, remove the whole
thing, it's useless in it's current state anyway.
I've been programming for a few years, but not so much lately. I used Delphi
(object-pascal) in the past, so I was thinking about using Lazarus, but it
seems like some libraries in Lazarus was taken out (license-related I think).
I've been looking at NetBeans (Java) and QT (seems to support
I don't like Java either for the same reason.
I will have a closer look at QT. Thanks! :)
I don't think I'll stick with Pascal - like you said, it's probably better to
use a more modern language.
I'll have a look a Python as well. :)
Great! :)
And many good points in your huge post below. :)
Have you checked if GRUB_TIMEOUT is set to 0 in the file /etc/default/grub ?
Well, try to add the following line:
GRUB_TIMEOUT = 10
After saving the file, run update-grub as root and then reboot.
I think NTFS is still the best choice. I also remember there was a tool for
Windows to read and write to ext-systems.
I didn't had that problem when installing Trisquel 6.0, but when I decided to
install Trisquel 6.1, Orca suddenly appeared (both during the install and
after). If you don't need Orca, then just uninstall it.
Sure, follow this guide, http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-mate
Have you checked Displays in the System settings? You can turn off the
mirroring there. I have two monitors and that solved the problem.
Tried to run 'xrandr' in a terminal? It should show all available displays.
I have used Trisquel (6.0) for a few days now, but have some problems with
the graphics. I have a NVIDIA-card and I'm using the nouveau drivers. The
resolution is optimal for my monitor, but there is no acceleration.
I couldn't even start GNOME - after typing my username and password, it
I have updated the kernel and installed all packages (some with the
-Its-saucy suffix). It solved the graphical problems during boot, but now
GNOME crashes again. (and I'm getting back to the login screen)
Is there any logs or a way to see what's happening?
Removing xorg.conf solved the problem. Thank you! :)
