[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
Assuming you installed the "default edition" (with the MATE desktop), are "trisquel" and "trisquel-recommended" installed? If so, you should have all packages from the default install.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
I am not, for one, and at the same time I am, depending on which machine you are talking about. There have been a few things I wanted to investigate on Trisquel 9 so I installed it on a secret microcomputer but am still running Trisquel 8 on my 'production' PC. T9 obviously feels quite mature now so many users might indeed have forgotten they are running a beta, or should we say gamma version.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
Anything relevant in the "Screensaver Preferences"? As far as I understand, the display manager is responsible for locking the screen. In Trisquel 7, I had to install GDM to get that feature working with GNOME Shell. As far as I remember the related button was not even present in GNOME Shell's menu, before I switched from LightDM to GDM. So, you could try to install and use GDM and see if it makes a difference.

Have you looked at the power management preferences, in the "Control Center"? Your computer is probably put to sleep when inactive for 30 minutes. You can set it to "Never" to avoid the problem.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
No: you ppa-purge Trisquel 8, then upgrade to Trisquel 9 Etiona, troubleshoot any issues you run into and finally reinstall the PPA, if needed/desired.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
@Magic Banana: If I understood correctly, I just do the upgrade to Etiona, then I do a ppa-purge on each PPA that I have set, specifying xenial as the downgrade distribution. I check that everything else is OK. Then, I re-upgrade the PPAs to bionic?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
Even safer: use ppa-purge to also downgrade the packages that the PPA upgraded, i.e., that are present as well in Trisquel 8"s repository.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
Thanks for the information. I was wondering how to achieve that as well. Another question before upgrading: what about the PPAs I have on Trisquel 8? Should I also modify their link for xenial to bionic and then do the full upgrade?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
triskel and trisquel (notice the spelling difference) provide different sets of default packages. Mainly, triskel comes with the KDE desktop environment and trisquel with MATE desktop environment. You can have the full list of packages in any ISO by reading the file with the same URL plus the suffix ".manifest".

Thank you, lcerf! I didn't test it yet so this is valuable to me.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 9 Etiona
You can wait for the official release or you can upgrade now; http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso-etiona/iso/ includes ISOs of Trisquel Mini; Instead of a fresh install, you can upgrade now from Trisquel 8:$ sudo sed -i 's/flidas/etiona/' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade I am currently typing from the latest live ISO. It apparently works perfectly. Beside the new wallpaper, I noticed: the Synaptic Package Manager (it was not in the previous ISO I tested, if I remember well), in System/Administration; PDF-Shuffler, a nice addition in my humble opinion; Back in Time will apparently replace Déjà Dup (in Trisquel 8) as the default backup system (it was already in previous ISOs of Etiona).
