“Seems like some daemon that is supposed to set up your Internet connection
isn't starting.”

“I believe the service in question is "networking". ”
Your analysis and solutions often give results – in the theory and the
practice - because I've done it with a couple of distros in the past. But
this is not me with Trisquel 7.0.

“Seems to me that the configuration files are messy, so a clean install of
Trisq 7 is IMO the fastest and best way to go.”

“Thank God it usually all comes out in the wash with a fresh install! Heh,
heh.”
Heh, heh… }:-( That is what I did, buddies: Via torrent and from the
official mirrors I downloaded the full ISO of Trisquel 7.0. Results: Download
perfect, MD5 Sum, perfect, burned, perfect, and the report of the analysis of
the resulting DVD – made before installing - declares that “there are no
errors in the disk”. Everything is OK.
My mood deteriorates when I try Trisquel without installing. The same thing
that happened to me with the distros that I mentioned at the beginning, it
happens again: there is no connection to the Internet and it is not possible
to use the optical mouse.
Even so, because I believe in miracles, I installed it and… NADA! The
problems are increasing, we must now add a problem more: Trisquel 7.0 does
not detect the USB.
MUA HA HA HA HA HA...! ( Again the devil laughs ).

I do not want to continue with this thread, that nothing is going to reach,
not for lack of will of the some members of the Forum, but by the sad
certainty that the developers of operating systems, applications, and
cyber-security – very excited about the x64 – are deposed their interest
in the hardware x32.
My computer was manufactured in January 2003. Yes, it belongs to the
Jurassic, but still its components work quite well, and the same thing
happens with hundreds of millions of computers all over the world that are
still useful and which may work as always if there is software that is
suitable to the characteristics of the hardware that operates in the realm of
the 32-bit.
The sad fact of the matter is that most of the friendly people of the FOSS
movement are already with the same trend that drives the developers of the
closed code: To give preference to the x64, and sometimes with results that
are regrettable.
It is impossible to talk, I think, about friendly and compatible operating
systems with old computers like mine when this not is complying with the
reality of the facts. Compare Trisquel 6.0 with the 7.0 one and you will see
how much of Ubuntu there are between one and another. It is not negative
take advantage of the free software from Canonical, the bad thing is - I
believe - in do not check properly what it is that is being taken from them
and to what extent is affecting a distro that is aimed by equal to new and
old computers.
For now I want to leave my sincere thanks to those who took the time to read
my case and contribute their ideas.
I very well know that is not advisable to do it, but while I am looking for
an alternative amongst the diverse GNU / Linux distros offered in the Web,
I must confess I came to the Forum thanks to Trisquel 6.0 newly installed on
my computer...
MUA HA HA HA HA HA! ( Now I'm the one who laughs at the devil ) ;-)
