I have been interested in trying Trisquel, but I can't seem to get it to
work.
I have burned the "trisquel_6.0_amd64.iso" to a disc and checked its
integrity. When I boot it, I am presented with the Live CD menu, but when
choosing to try Trisquel, all I get is the blinking cursor (I left it alone
long enough to drive to lunch and back, with no change). Checking the
troubleshooting section of the online manual, I apply some of the options
given, and that gets me into the Live trial. But when I install Trisquel, my
computer freezes after I log in, before the desktop has a chance to come up.
This is the setup I'm working with:
AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six Core Processor x 3
4GB RAM
GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Current disk partitions:
hp ssd v300a
-sda1 (Windows)
-sda2 (Extended Partition)
---sda3 (/boot)
---sda5 (Linux Mint)
---sda6 (empty partition for playing around with other distros)
HDD
-sdb1 (Windows/Linux shared data)
-sdb2 (Extended Partition)
---sdb5 (/home)
---sdb6 (swap)
Is there something in my computer's setup that is preventing me from being
able to properly live boot and install Trisquel? I'd really like to try it
out.
