[Trisquel-users] Re : novice questions about installation troubleshooting

[magicbanana]

The choice of Trisquel 5.0 is kind of weird: its support stops this week!  
That means security issues will not be fixed! Why haven't you chosen Trisquel  
5.5 (or, if you are a little adventurous, the "soon-to-be-released" Trisquel  
6.0 Long Term Support)? Because they use a more recent version of the  
Linux-libre kernel, your ACPI problems may be solved. The so-called "update  
manager" should already suggest you the update to 5.5. You only need to  
accept it (no need to reinstall from an ISO).

Otherwise (but you should first try to update to 5.5 first), you can try the  
latest versions version of the Linux-libre kernel. It is not hard thanks to  
Jason Self, a Trisquel user, who maintains an APT repository. Just follow the  
instructions on this page.
