"Why does it need to be a Celtic god?"

I don't suppose it "needs" to be anything right? But to follow with  
tradition. You may as well ask why does Debian need to be named after Toy  
Story characters or why Ubuntu needs an adjective+animal combination. Or why  
any particular distro needs to be named in any particular way. Because  
someone, somewhere, made that decision. And this naming system is what  
Trisquel is using. Any naming system will be arbitrary so let's enjoy ours  
and get back to our regularly scheduled progrmaming and try to come up with  
names for Trisquel 9.

You will never get any reference to trisquel if you enter "epona" into your  
search engine, since it will always show results about the horse from "the  
legend of zelda".

Why does it need to be a Celtic god?

Just wondering:)

I would use "SMART Data & Self-Tests..." in the "gear" menu of "Disks" (in  
the "System Settings") to check the health of the hardware.  It can be done  
from the live system.

Oh, sorry. I should probably correct the post. No special characters in the  
names. See the attached image. 

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trying to install on a ThinkPad x200s

[7en]

That's good to know.
I better specify however: I was asking for the names you put in when creating  
the partitions, as I suspect that special characters in the names of the  
partitions or the disk itself, which might cause the errors you described.  
Basically, try installing with as simple a name as you can think of -  
avoiding any special characters if possible.

[Trisquel-users] Super key to show/hide the activities overview?

[hartkemd]

I'm a new Trisquel user. I'd like to use the Super key to open or close the  
menu.
In Keyboard Settings, I found an option to "Show the activities overview"  
with Super+S.
Is there any way to both open and close the activities overview with the  
Super key?

Thank you!

I'm using GPT as the partition scheme.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Needs A Name

What about Etiona?

"Etiona is a Celtic goddess worshipped in Gaul; she is known only from  
inscriptions in Etrechy, France, where she was accompanied by her fellow  
deities Carantana, Isosa, Gnatus, and Hidua ... The origin of Etiona’s name  
is unclear. I have seen it suggested that it derives from the Proto-Celtic  
*ett(n)jo or “kernel” and that this indicates that she is a goddess of  
wisdom (i.e. “kernel of knowledge”) but I wonder if it could equally well  
indicate a connection to agriculture or food stores."

https://hearthfirehandworks.com/about-the-gods/gaulish-and-brythonic-celtic-gods/etiona/

A name derived from an ancient word for kernel seems like a good GNU-Linux  
name, although it could also be a good name for a libre fork of the Linux  
kernel.

First of all I'd like to welcome you to the Trisquel forums:
Welcome, enjoy your stay :)

To address your problem, please post the disk label you chose when defining  
the partitioning scheme.

Camulus (Camulos, Camalos) is a god of war and sky.
Other terms that might be found are a German band (spelled Camulos) and a

made.

[Trisquel-users] Trying to install on a ThinkPad x200s

[solocshaw]

So, I'm trying to install Trisquel on a x200s using a Kingston A400 SSD with  
2GB of RAM.


I partitioned the drive like so:


[*]/dev/sda1 ext4 /boot 200MB
[*]/dev/sda2 swap 12GB
[*]/dev/sda3 ext4 / 30GB
[*]/dev/sda4 ext4 /home 76.8GB



But when I start the installation I'm getting:

> Failed to create swap space. The creation of swap space in partition #2 of  
SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed.


And when I don't add a swap space I get:

> Failed to create a file system. The ext4 file system creation in partition  
#1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0)(sda) failed.


Not sure what's going here. Any advice is much appreciated.

  About abandinus

Abandinus was a name used to refer to a Celtic god or male spirit worshipped  
in Godmanchester in Cambridgeshire during the Romano-Celtic period.


 Abandinus - "Defender of the Waters"

Known as ‘Defender of the Waters,’ not much is known of the Celtic god  
Abandinus, save for an inscription on a bronze votive found in  
Cambridgeshire, England which read “To the god Abandinus, Vatiaucus gave  
this from his own money.”



Diccionario de la lengua española © 2005 Espasa-Calpe:
abandonar conjugar ⇒

tr. Dejar, desamparar:
abandonar a un bebé.
Desistir, renunciar:
abandonar una idea. También intr.:
no abandones.
Dejar un lugar:
abandonar la casa.
prnl. Dejarse dominar por afectos, pasiones o vicios:
abandonarse a la bebida, a la suerte.
Descuidar los intereses, las obligaciones, el aseo personal o la  
compostura:

se ha abandonado mucho.
Rendirse ante las adversidades:
debe luchar contra su enfermedad y no abandonarse.

Re: [Trisquel-users] ebook reader advice

It certainly has a big database, but the download options seems to consist of  
torrents with no seeders, and .chm files, which seems like a dodgy thing to  
open on a local machine from an untrusted source.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Connecting an EPSON Workforce WF 3640 Printer to Trisquel on Lenovo T400 Libreboot

[lcerf]

A driver is necessary.  The help desk probably said that it should be  
installed by default in your distribution.  Is the package  
"printer-driver-all" installed on your system?  If so, it may be that the  
printer is recent and Trisquel 7 does not have the driver.  Trisquel 8 may  
have it.  Try to add the printer from Trisquel 8's live system and see:

Abandinus ... the only issue that I see with this one is that in spanish it

Or ... what about a Roman god?  Janus, the god of gates, doors, and  
beginnings. The month of January was named after Janus, who had two  
faces​—one looking forward and the other looking backward, just like  
Trisquel (the distro) looking up for you. Just a thought friends!

Epona is a godess as well. She is associated with horses.

It is a simple name.
