[Trisquel-users] copied orig. bootpartition 3times by gparted for modification/testing can only boot into orig partition properly (with coreboot)
Hello, I just used gparted to copy my only original boot partition sda1 to sda2,3,4 all with ext4 and same size on same ssd. I wanted to modifiy my trisquel in 2,3,4 in diffrent ways. Booting sda1 works like before but I dont know what I have to change that I can boot the other (2,3,4) with coreboot properly. While starting in coreboot is an option to recognize all partitions and to choose and boot one of these partitions. If I boot 2 or 3 or 4 its booting randomly into 2,3,4.. its sometimes little funny to boot as often as it needs to get the right one. If I boot manually linux (ahci0,msdosx)/vmlinuz (x=2,3,4) initrd (ahci0,msdosx)/initrd.img boot there is later this stop with initramfs in booting. hope there is some little thing to add or change
[Trisquel-users] Trusty kernel is a virtual package?
I've been unable to install linux-generic-lts-trusty for a while now:
julian@julian-laptop-QAT10:~$ sudo aptitude install linux-generic-lts-trusty
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty{b}
linux-image-generic-lts-trusty{b}
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 38 not upgraded.
Need to get 7,572 B/11.4 kB of archives. After unpacking 86.0 kB will be
used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-generic-lts-trusty : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-27-generic
which is a virtual package.
linux-headers-generic-lts-trusty : Depends: linux-headers-3.13.0-27-generic
which is a virtual package.
What's up with that? I know I was able to install it before.

Install the 'dnsmasq' and retry what you have done with NetworkManager (this tip may be obsolete).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trusty kernel is a virtual package?
Try 3.13.0-24. For some reason 27 is only available for i386. I installed the linux-generic-lts-trusty package before, and now I have upgrades that can't be done, so I just ignore them.
[Trisquel-users] can't log in using boot disc
Hi, I'm trying to run Trisquel from a boot disc. It prompts me to enter a username/password. When I leave blank it fails. What do I need to enter to log in? Any help appreciated. Thanks
[Trisquel-users] Re : can't log in using boot disc
It should actually autostart the graphical session. Anyway, and as far as I understand, the live user's login is trisquel and the password is blank.
Re: [Trisquel-users] can't log in using boot disc
That worked perfectly. Many thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Systemd
Hi Magic Banana, thank you for posting these links. I have seen these before - very interesting and informative. But there is still resistance to Systemd. Systemd is a good concept but through out the videos the audience are not entirely convinced.. In the Why_Debian_should_or_should_not_make_systemd_the_default.webm file Lennart is actually rude with an audience member.. So for me it is important to be able to listen to users. I have not seen a proper article which does not steer away talking down to users.. If you can show me an article covering a layman's explanation of systemd that would be good. Systemd is being implemented no matter what, that I am aware off but at what cost?

/etc/default/keyboard is probably a more universal config file, which applies to tty too. I think GDM reads from it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] copied orig. bootpartition 3times by gparted for modification/testing can only boot into orig partition properly (with coreboot)
I don't get what you are trying to do. The /boot partition is only for booting, will not modify the system...
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to found a Free Software company?
If people can find locals who would technically support them with Trisquel and Free software that would be nice, and support would generate income for these locals. All the help or professional solutions provided by these locals should be documented and shared among the other local gurus. These local gurus should have a profile that would list what things they are capable of doing with Trisquel, so that the people would know whether they have found the right person to solve their non-free problem.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel WIFI Hostpot
This might depend on the adapter. If I'm not mistaken this won't work with some wireless adapters. I believe it should work with pretty much all the Atheros adapters (PCIe 802.11n at least, and ar9170, and ath9k_htc USB based, ar9271/ar9280+ar7010), but not ones like RTL8187 (USB G adapter).
[Trisquel-users] Re : Systemd
The audience member is not a user. He is an Upstart developer. Another init system that could have replaced the System V init (but now lost against systemd). But yes, Lennart Poettering can be rude... and so are many outstanding programmers (rms, Linus Torvalds, Theo de Raedt, etc.). The layman does not even need to know the name of the init system he uses! System administrators and people developing/packaging daemons/services do.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to found a Free Software company?
I don't know what work experience you have, particularly in a particular industry, etc, but it might be worthwhile getting some real-world experience in the industry in which you would like to focus first. What I would do is figure out a niche you might want to conquer (ideally that isn't being filled already), not worry too much about the company's behavior (few companies are going to care at all, but you might be able to influence them, so might even be able to influence a badly behaving company, or at least build off the knowledge gained from learning how other companies operate, etc), save up (a crowdfunding campaign isn't always a good solution to every scenario although might work depending on what exactly your goals are and how its presented), and then take all that and build a company from it. I say this because most businesses fail in very short order so having some sort of real-world experience and savings will reduce your risk. Most people don't realize just how expensive it is to run a business and while you can frequently find ways to cut corners you still have to have the funds to get you to point where your bringing in more money than your spending. Most small businesses take about 3 years to get off the ground and running (that is being comfortable with the money your making compared to working for a larger corporation). Anything to increase that chance of success is something every startup needs concern themselves with. Before I founded ThinkPenguin I had no real idea what I was going to do after college or what niche needed filling within the GNU/Linux arena. What I knew was I wanted to see GNU/Linux and free software succeed on the desktop (like it had on the server). I started out with a Computer Science degree and did an internship between my 2nd and 3rd year at a company producing one of the leading desktop distributions of the day. While the company had its non-free software issues (including, not developing) it was mostly management's inexperience with the GNU/Linux and the free software world that created the biggest hurdles (and later what amounted to potentially criminal issues by certain major share holders, among a number of other really stupid business moves). In any event I did that internship. I later turned down a few job offers. I then did something nobody would have expected. I took a low pay tech position with a major retail chain fixing (and selling to some degree) computers. I didn't just do that, but I utilized that with my GNU/Linux experience, with my internship experience, with a related PC repair startup, etc as a jumping off point for ThinkPenguin. I saw how the competition operated, I saw how companies focused on desktop GNU/Linux were mucking things up, and from that I knew what to do to fix it and how to do it. I only held that repair job for several months, in part because I was already operating a competing repair business that let me focus more on how I thought things should be operated, and as such, I could see what worked and what didn't work with the masses. ThinkPenguin was operating during this time as well, but was much lower key. It's what you would call a “soft launch”. Anyway- so yea- focus on picking up the skills you'll need to get the business going. Besides all that you'll need to do a lot of research, maybe take some business classes, accounting classes, etc. Some things you can more easily outsource if you need to, but some things you can just do yourself to keep costs down.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to found a Free Software company?
The appeal of non-profits is that they are tax deductible. Sure, a company (LLC or Corporation) can accept donations, but if you rely solely on those donations, a non-profit is your best route.
