That's OK :)
#libreboot IRC on freenode can help you flash it, if you get stuck. Several

When I try to uncheck an application (Liferea or Pidgin) it says that one or
more program is dependent on it and I should use Synaptic Package Manager.
But when I click on Synaptic Package Manager, nothing happens :/
I'm interested to try to lend a hand with fixing some package helpers, to try
to do what I can to contribute to getting Trisquel 8 ready for release, but I
have a couple of questions:
1) Why is the HEAD of the trisquel-helpers git repository pointing to the
'belenos' branch? Isn't flidas
When I did that, it made me type the password, and then it worked :)*
Thanks
Launching the "Synaptic Package Manager" (typing the following command) from
a terminal emulator may reveal a useful error message:
$ synaptic-pkexec
If you mean .deb packages, you can install it with dpkg. Type "dpkg -i
name_of_package.deb" as root or with sudo.
I hope this will help you using Trisquel!
Okay, cheers.
How do install "as root or with sudo"? Do I do that by typing "sudo apt" or
something just before the rest of the line?

Exactly :)
So, I recently got into custom building desktops and water cooling.
Then I met FSF and GNU.
Are there any companies that sell free hardware by the components and not
just the prebuilt desktop?
Also, are there any water cooling companies that produce water blocks and
equipment for these
Thanks a lot :D
When I download packages from the web, they dont come with easy install
methods like Windows and MacOS, how do I go about installing them? :)
Cheers! (Hope I dont bother the whole community with my noobing)
I want to automatically mount and make available for use my two external USB
drives. When I have them plugged in, I see them visible in the sidebar of my
file browser but they are unmounted unless I click on them.
I tried using the "Disks" app to make them automatically mount, but this
Why dont you think I "should be on the look for deb packages to install"?
What's "sources.list"
"start-menu" -> preferences -> add/remove applications, then I made sure it
showed all available applications and searched in the search bar.
yeah, it's been asked 3463 times since I've been here..
type "sudo dpkg -i name-of-your.program.deb"
"sudo" means your giving yourself the power of "root" or system
administrator.
"dpkg" is the name of the program that can install ".deb" programs for you.
"-i" is an parameter or attribute that gets enabled in the "dpkg" program for
installing
Most of packages are in Trisquel repo. You don't need to searching internet
for .deb package. Just search for package with Synaptic, or via command
"apt-cache search name_of_package". Of course you can't find packages which
is not free software becouse they are removed from repo. To get
I don't think you should be on the look for deb packages to install. Use the
package repositories that are official and available in the distro.
Sometimes, a developer has made his/her software available as a deb package
you can download. Mostly, when you see tarballs, they either contain
The file has DEB as extension.
You shouldn't confuse tar balls with deb packages.
Can you paste here your sources.list ? How did you try to search for IceCat?
Like in my screenshot?
IceCat doesn't show up under 'Add/Remove Applications' but is in the
repository. You can install it from Synaptic Package Manager, or in a
terminal$ sudo apt install icecat
If you are using Trisquel 7, Thunderbird is called Icedove. Again, it can be
installed from Synaptic Package Manager,
Yeah, I think I just did.
Where do I find .deb packages?
I just download stuff from the websites which gives me this pack I have to
extract, and then I get a folder which there is a run-shit-thing inside.
So currently I am running IceCat and Tor from inside a folder,
Shout out if you got
Woah, you are a saint, thx!
Pidgin and Lifrea are part of GNOME, your desktop environment (assuming that
you are using Trisquel 7). If you remove them along with their dependencies
you might accidentally remove something important. If you don't plan to use
these applications (give Liferea a chance though, I like it a
I cant find either Tor nor IceCat, and Thunderbird doesnt want to be
installed via rep either. Maybe its because of my hardware?
You’re free to do and install anything. It’s your machine.
However, the recommended way is to use the official repositories. The other
way is the Windows way — search frantically everywhere and install any old
exe file you can possibly find. Then, have problems with malesre infestation.
Very good answer. But he don't need to use sudo for writing .desktop file.
Yes, you're right. I wasn't thinking.
Rekonq is developed by KDE, not Trisquel. Apparently KDE does not see a
problem with recommending Google or Amazon. That shouldn't be interpreted as
an endorsement of those companies by Trisquel.
Trisquel does remove from Firefox such recommendations as well as
recommendations for
So when I was going to set default search engine in the Rekong browser, it
suggested various t, Google and Amazon sites.
What's up with that?
I do, my main system at home !
Ok, that explains a lot lol. I just removed them and was struggling like a
sucker.
So I wiped my hard disk and installed the whole OS again :P
This time around I'm gonna take things a little slower lol
Gotcha, thanks for the tips!
Also, I tried to sudo spkg a .deb package and I get an error with "No such
file or directory"
I have triple checked the spelling.
Do you any ideas?
Rekonq is unmaintained since 2014. Nobody should use it. It should be removed
from the repos. Maybe it's been included because there is Triskel, a KDE
version of Trisquel.
Okay, I just don't understand why they keep it in the repository then.
I'm no prgrammer, but shouldn't that be fairly easy to do?
I mean... this whole OS is supposed to really FSF-recommended, and here they
are offering me a browser which in turn recommend me Facebook, Google, Amazon
and
It uses KDE Plasma as its default desktop environment instead of GNOME (the
default in Trisquel) or LXDE (the default in Trisquel Mini).
It's possible that Rekonq is a dependency of of the version of KDE Plasma in
Trisquel 7, similarly to how you recently discovered that Pidgin and Lifrea
Yes, it is easy to add either when using the Netinstal ISO or as a meta
package afterwards.

"Triskel, a KDE version of Trisquel" ? :)
Trisquel is FSF-endorsed because it is committed to including only free
software. Rekonq is free software. Although Facebook, Google, and Amazon are
terrible companies who among other things create some proprietary software,
their search engines do not require any proprietary software (just
Hah! The irony, I misspelled in a comment about triple checking. But yeah, I
checked and wrote dpkg.
Nice! :) The Gdebi worked smoothly, tyvm
It's 'dpkg', not 'spkg'. Maybe quadruple check. :)
You can also use Gdebi Package Installer if you'd prefer a GUI.

How do you install signal on replicant? Thanks.
Trisquel is still a nice distro, even if you use Trisquel 7. You can update
to the latest linux-libre from third party repos e.g. freesh, or build your
own modern kernels. You can also use Ubuntu PPAs for certain things
(free/libre packages, backported to Ubuntu 14.04, which is what Trisquel
I'm writing this on Trisquel 8 right now - it's completely useable (although
perhaps not quite stable enough yet to be formally released).
If you want components it's pretty much the build-it-yourself way just like
outside of FSF & GNU.
For motherboards, look at the ones supported by libreboot:
https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/ and replace the proprietary BIOS with
libreboot.
At home I have both the Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L
Alternatively, the launcher can be created through the "New Item" button of
"Main Menu" (in the "System Settings").
I do not know.
I managed to solve the authentication issues by simply re-installing the
'Trisquel-Keyring' package. New packages are now authenticating fine with
Flidas. However, if the keys had been updated, shouldn't that have prompted a
package upgrade?
Ok, thanks for your advice, Magic Banana. I will try the latest kernel and
see if that trackpad driver is any better. Failing that, is it possible to
'transplant' a kernel module from an earlier kernel version into a newer one?
... Yeah, that's way easier. Thanks, Magic Banana.
GrevenGull, you can get the 'command' for the menu entry by right clicking
'Tor Browser' in tor-browser_en-US, selecting 'Properties', and copying
what's in the 'command' field. For me it looks like this.
