You could try asking for help on IRC, channel #nouveau on irc.freenode.net.
One crutch that might allow you to use your machine in the meanwhile would be
to hold the shift key when the system is booting up, that should bring up the

Ubuntu is non-free, Trisquel is free. That's the difference.
Good news! I think we free software movement members should often remember to
emphasize the similarities between different flavors like distros or
definitions of freedom. This way we won't get divided and conquered. While
appreciating the common ground however I will follow the FSF which I

Glad to hear of your success.
While the mini (lxde) is much lighter than the regular (gnome) there are
still much lighter options. (say openbox)
Starting install from a minimal netinstall would guarantee there are no
lurking useless background processes sucking away cycles and ram.
And
In fact, LXDE uses Openbox as its window manager.
Heh, didn't realize that, thanks for pointing it out.
I agree the TPM is not a problem. Compiling is the general process of turning
human readable source code into a machine readable binary. This is also
called building.
That just means you have to be in the correct folder in the terminal to run
that command. So just cd to the right place, whatever that is. (You could
also make menuconfig to configure your kernel before compiling it, if you're
in the folder containing the kernel sources.)
So, I can not run gnome-shell :(
Now all together:
Thank you ATI/AMD!

Don't worry but try it out. If all goes horribly wrong, you can always
reinstall! :)
Please refrain from recommending proprietary software here, thank you.

sudo apt-get install thunderbird is one way. Or you can use a GUI package

This kind of problems are fairly nasty as I believe they lead to chicken and
egg kind of situations: if the update manager is broken, no update can fix it
as those can't be installed.
Have you got the build-essential package installed?
It's a collection of thing you need for building things, you should install
it if you're going to compile stuff.
That means there's no such command in your $PATH. If the script is in the

I haven't done it. Just install like normally but choose the USB as target
instead of HDD. If there is a swap on the local HDD you could use that unless
there currently is a hibernation image.
Sounds to me like he didn't make a live USB but a regular install onto a USB,
so all the free space is there and modifications will remain.
I have to admit I'm somewhat curious as to why as well.
Yes you can. It might shorten the life of you USB though. You'll want to
minimize writes to the USB, e.g. don't swap on it.
You're welcome.

Does it work if you enable Numlock? This can be done automatically by

No, it's a parameter for the kernel. Once you've booted up it's too late.

What does it call it in Trisquel 6 where it works? What kernel versions are
you using on 6 and 7?
Looks like xrandr is in the x11-xserver-utils package, did you install that?

You can try removing it with config and then reinstalling, e.g.

sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

You might want to reinstall those as well in that case.)

And sometimes something claims to be under a certain license but actually

The reason it's not in Trisquel 6 is simply because it was not available in

It's not available in Abrowser. Anybody knows why, cause it seems to be

Because you (or anybody else) hasn't added it yet !

This is a good point. The word accessability doesn't currently appear on the

I don't see havlet in the Trisquel 6 repos. No idea what it is or how it's

Are you sure the network you're looking for is up? Can you connect to it
