[Trisquel-users] Re : Is it possible to install Unity Shell in Trisquel?
Both unity and unity-2d are packages in the Trisquel repositories. You can easily install them with your favourite interface to APT (e.g., the Synaptic package manager).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Moving from Ubuntu to fully Free Distro's
Installing from Source Installing from source is quite easy. I recently installed Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2 from source. (It just took some time for me to get the correct Apache and PHP versions combination.) All you do is place the folder with the source code in /usr/local/src. In the source folder, check if there is an executable called configure or config, then type the following at the terminal inside the source folder: $ ./configure When that is done, type: $ make Then: $ make install
[Trisquel-users] Is it possible to install Unity Shell in Trisquel?
I rather like Unity.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ubi-Partman Crashes when Installing Trisquel 5.5 32-bit
Success at last! I finally managed to install Trisquel 5.5 on my Acer 3660 laptop. When I tried to install it before, I had Pinguy OS and Windows 7 dual-booted. I tried to install Trisquel over Pinguy OS, but ubi-Partman crashed every time during installation. Later, I installed Xubuntu on the whole hard drive. Tonight, I decided to give Trisquel another try and installed it on the whole hard disk, and it worked! My wifi alo works. Free as in Freedom!

Here's some more vague ideas http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/en/man4/intel.4.html (As in when everything else fails Read The Fine Manual)
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphics issue -- Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE
Darn. Setting option "DRI" to "false" does not work. I'm out of ideas.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphics issue -- Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE
I'm going to try adding Option "DRI" "false" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see what that does.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphics issue -- Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE
nomodeset didn't work. I tried booting twice and got a blank screen. The system did not seem to be responding to the keyboard. CTRL-ALT-DEL didn't reboot the computer, and the num lock key did not turn on the light on the keyboard. I'm going to try adding Option "DRI" "false" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see what that does.
Re: [Trisquel-users] graphics issue -- Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE
I'll try the nomodeset kernel paramenter and report back on the results. Thanks, lembas.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Add sticky post to forums explaining RULES. Please please please please!!!!
Moderators "can" be annoying but at the same time they can also be very useful. Especially if the forums have rules established. I know a forum that is very well moderated. For example they have a for sale section where users can trade and sell items. I feel safer trading there then on sites like ebay. They have several safeguards in place such as needing an isp, edu, mil, or gov email address (no yahoo, google, ect.) and you need 100 legit posts before you can trade and if you screw someone you are banned. With moderators it can go both ways. They can be beneficial or degrade a community. I guess that would be why you could also have administrators (e.g. quidam) and hopefully a "dictator" mod would be taken care of swiftly.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Diaspora

I've been on identi.ca in the past but I'm not a fan of Twitter-like services whereas Diaspora fits the bill being very similar to Google Plus. I thought it would be cool if more like-minded people joined the site as well as Trisquel itself. www.diasp.org or www.joindiaspora.com to join.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Moving from Ubuntu to fully Free Distro's
Again, I have never installed owncloud and you had better read some documentation. However I believe that, for security reasons, every component (the Web server, the database and owncloud itself) are run by different users. But you can certainly have the same password for each of them.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Backup operating system into installable media
I believe you can do that with Clonezilla.
[Trisquel-users] Backup operating system into installable media
Is it possible to backup my current system(including all updates and new installed apps) into installable media.

Don't take t3g too seriously and he won't bother you. He is like a character representing the simple-minded conformist consumer. You might find him entertaining. The thoughts of Rick Hodgin are interesting to read at least. Moderators can be much more annoying. When power is given to a person, even a seemingly good one, he can get intoxicated with it and start acting like dictator.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Moving from Ubuntu to fully Free Distro's
Awesome, tested it and stopping it does indead make the page not show up in my browser at https://localhost/owncloud. Though a possible big problem is that when trying to check "Force SSL" it has a "Test SSL" link beside it so you can see if it will work with your setup. But mine won't load :-( Is this because of missing dependencies or is it a setting in Apache itself? Also, on the start up page, it asks to create user names and passwords for 3 different users it seems (All words case letters are exactly as on the strart up page.) Administrator User database user (already has owncloud typed in for the user name) administrative user (already has "root" typed in for the user name) Are the Administrator User and administrative user the same person? Or is the administrative user the same as the root user on my system, and I should use the same password as root on my system? Oooh and was that error message caused by me not having the right things filled out? I am gonna be taking notes on everything so that I can refer back to them and on bug and annoy you guys if I forget some things later. :-P

You might want to try adding the nomodeset kernel parameter to grub config or the driver options suggested here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-858652-start-0.html .
