Howdy Folks,
Just tried Trisquel for the first time just yesterday. So far, very cool,
but lots of bugs and glitches to be worked out. I downloaded all my files to
a partition and it won't let me go to work on my own files! What the... ?
Can't save the changes! It wants to make a new file, and then it won't let
me save the changes I make to the new one either! Wow! Nor will it allow me
to change permissions on my files so I can transfer them.
I'm not allowed access to the /root folder either! What's that supposed to
mean? I thought this was free software!
I partitioned the hard drive, making a /root partition, then a /home
partition, then a swap partition. Then the first installation didn't install
correctly, and when I went to do everything over, I now find myself stuck
with this sda5 partition I cannot delete! I then left the partitions alone
and installed again. Things appear to be working fairly well this time
around. But it won't let me wipe out that sda5 even if I am starting over
completely! What's up with that?
I'm a Puppy and Quirky Linux user for the most part. So this Trisquel
adventure is a new one on me. It acts a lot like my old Ubuntu Saucy
Salamander and Trusty Tahr. Very cool, but very confusing in how it all
works. I came over to Trisquel because I love the idea of freedom and free
software, plus I wanted to learn the command line from an operating system
with a full-boogie command line. Puppy and Quirky use both ASH, and BASH,
and Busybox. So it's not easy to learn to begin with, and when one tries to
use a machine with a full command line, very little of what one knows works
in the terminal!
It's always a new adventure with a new Linux OS. Fun! Fun! Fun! Really!
Truly! I couldn't live without it! Anyway, I will be searching the board
for some answers to some of these little glitches. If anyone would like to
chime in and help out, that would be fanatastic! Meantime I am up and
running and this looks like a great OS! Thank you!
