The reason why your wireless card does not want to work is that it

upgrade to Trisquel 6.0 Toutatis when it is ready.
Hello community!
I'm starting this thread to share some of the issues I encountered during the
testing of the latest Toutatis image. I would be glad if somebody share the
link to this thread to Ruben ASAP so the bugs can be fixed before the
deadline. I'm also asking all of you to help with
P.S.: Sorry for the formatting but I wrote this in a hurry and the site does
not let me to edit it.
I've just sent a message using the contact form. Hope Ruben gets it in time.
Yeah, but not if I replace it with a Menu Bar applet which I usually do.
Can you do it for me? I doesn't use nor have a IRC client installed.
I know but I does not have it installed and does not want to waste the time
by setting it up just for this one occasion. Is it so much trouble for
somebody here to just send the link to this thread to Ruben?
Thank you VERY MUCH!! I'm not a dumb, just running a self-made heavily
modified version of Trisquel and does not wanted to complicate things if I
does not need. Here, take a look at my desktop to understand what I am
talking about. My system is still unfinished because of the underlaying

The issue with gnome-sudoku seems to be (like always) an upsteam bug:

does not fix it quickly.
Ok, apparently that one was me :)
Installing gir1.2-launchpad-integration-3.0 fixes the problem.
Just wanted to accurate what I already said before. For the lucky ones who're
already using Toutatis and are having issues with broken Adobe Flash playback

Toutatis seems to be a clear improvement over Brigantia, although not quite
sure about the quality term. From Brigantia onwards, Trisquel isn't that
good anymore. That's why I'm asking you to proof-test the first real

Currently, I'm not using any theme. I used a particular theme (can't remember

Chris, I don't say that's Ruben's fault or something. Actually, it's always

You're actually doing the similar thing I do with the difference that you're

the opposite of that (made a full-install, then removed the crapware that I

Actually, I was really afraid of that but it now finally seems that the
release is on the way. The migration to Gnome3 and Ruben's real-life issues
are the cause of this. BTW, I'm still using the golden-but-olden Taranis

Inbetween LTS releases, have like Trisquel 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, etc while 7 is
based off of Ubuntu 14.04.
No, Trisquel 7.0 will be based of Ubuntu 13.04 Quantal. Only even versions
are based off the LTS releases as customary across all the GNU projects (like
Gimp).
It looks like my work today was useless. Waiting for the update-manager
system upgrade available message, which could occur in the following few
weeks.
Not all images are built so far, only the netinstall (both 32 64-bit) and
Trisquel/Mini (64-bit only).
There is a new FSF version available now. You should wait until the 32-bit
releases are available too.
Beware that some third-party apps are 32-bit only. If you find one, you
require a package called ia32-libs to be installed in order to get it work.
Also note, that 64-bit system is all about the performance benefit it has,
which is about +30-40% compared to a 32-bit system.
There is a 32-bit release available now.
The issue within' Trisquel 5.5 was not quite about customizability (uhh, that
word..), but rather it was the system stability (Trisquel crashed again
today, while I was editing my toutatis-development wiki page), that moving
from Gnome2 to G3 broke the looks and other weird stuff happened
Hey,
I cleaned up and reopened the toutatis-development page yesterday (note, that
this is not the same page Ruben's using for reporting fixed issues) so if

and I've still some left that I report soon.

I'm downloading and updating images approx. once per day (or whenever new
builds appear) and run them in VirtualBox through which I check for changes

roadmap).
I sent a message to quidam with Pidgin (in VirtualBox) a while ago but I'm
not sure if he got that, because the response I got was AFK (Away From

Ok, I just sent you the address. I have a few last questions:
When should I expect the package to arrive?
How will I be contacted when the package arrive?
Thank you again.
You misunderstood me. I meant TP as ThinkPenguin, not as Trisquel Project.
You probably heard about the FSF hardware certification program (you can find
more details here) and these wireless USB adapters will also fall under this
category (at least not officialy yet).
Until this is resolved, anyone that have an AR7010/AR9271 based device can
download install the driver I created a while ago, specifically for
Trisquel.
The driver currently supports all Trisquel releases that has the required

If you want a cheaper one then I suggest you to go for the Acer C7
Chromebook.

It also has nearly identical hardware, same resolution as the Pavilion, 320GB
HDD (versus the 16GB micro SATA SSD on the Pavilion), and a much better price
$200 (versus the $330 for the Pavilion).
The best brand in the price vs. quality/hardware is generally ASUS. It is
because ASUS produce its products itself. Look at this webpage for

You sure can see some basic information as you pointed out but only if the
user does not connect to Internet through a proxy server. This can be very
easily circumvented by using some anonymization software like Tor, or even by
using an anonymization website like Anonymouse.

about it because most of the time just I doesn't respond and
What, the message or the anonymization?
That's okey, but the way you started this thread that was not okey.
The server needs your IP address to know where to forward data (loaded
webpage) to you. Without it, you won't be able to connect to Internet
(practically, not technically - that means that you will be connected, but
not able to visit any webpages).
It's probably some server-side redirection.
Sorry, I forgot what you wrote before. So, it's some kind of web-based paid
service.
Look, the server needs your IP address to fullfill your requirement just as
you require a phone number, home adress, name of the person, whatever... to
make a contact with people. As I mentioned, there is a way to circumvent this
and that is to use a proxy for anonymization.

I never said that it's just IBM (now Lenovo) who's inserting these blocking

1. You doesn't need to disassemble the whole laptop to switch to developer
mode. There is just a switch on the side of the Chromebook. Newer models uses
a software switch.
2. The WiFi card IS free software friendly, that's why I suggested it.
No, at least not this time. The reason why Google has chosen to go this way
is because he wanted to have chromebooks with the quickest boot times,
fool-free (if the system is screwed up, the BIOS detects it and can
automatically fix it even if you bought and assembled a completely new HDD,
It's true, but this doesn't apply to chromebooks, because (as I previously
mentioned) they use a free software (GPL) BIOS called Coreboot.
Yes, but along with SeaBIOS.

How? He can utilize only those exploits that are readily-available in the

useless because 90% of all the computer users are probably using Windows.
I'm using Tor/non-Tor with the same session and can toggle on/off tor
everytime it's neccessary (Google and some other website that blocks public

it's required.
