It's not in Trisquel 8 because it's not and Xenial, but what's weird is
that it's back in Bionic.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/xchat

If it was removed from Xenial because it's abandoned, I'm not sure why
it's back for Bionic despite there being no new release.

Hello and welcome to the free software community. Ubuntu uses bash as its  
shell, Trisquel uses the same shell (the shell is the command line user  
interface). The only difference is that you would not be able to execute  
commands that require non-free software.

[Trisquel-users] "Hello New World"

2019-02-07 Thread blackhatz32
Hello New World I am new, I finally moved on with GNU/Linux Trisquel i have  
been on and off with Microsoft/ubuntu since 1999. and understanding the truth  
about GNU and linux. I finally got my hp compaq 6910p to work 100% with my  
usb wifi TP-LINK TL-WN821N 300MBPS.to fuction well with trisquel GNU/LINUX.  
Plus today Feb/7/2019 in Toronto,Ontario Canada I met Richard Stallman and  
took a picture with him and listen to him all about this O.S. Amazing O.S  
Extreme fast and to good. I am use to dealing with unbuntu's terminal so i  
guess the command on ubuntu is the same as trisquel.(I guess) As Mr.Stallman  
told me about joining the group of helping and learning is all I dream to do.  
I can't wait to see all about software 01010101010101010 and executable files  
and so so much to learn.

I think it doesn't come in the Ubuntu 16.04 repos. I also found that it has  
not being maintained since 2010, I think that would be enough reason to not

You can probably use the .deb package  
http://myspace.voo.be/pcoupard/cwirc/debian/cwirc_2.0.0-0_i386.deb.


You could also build it from source, https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/CWirc  
here is a link to the tar file.


If you need any further help let me know, I'd be happy to help.

CWirc was available in Trusty but is not available in Xenial.

Could somebody package it?

Here is one idea:

https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usb

If you cannot use a form of coreboot/me cleaner then you should probably  
either A: do the above, or B: get a new laptop.


The X230 is the most recent coreboot laptop that I know you can strip down  
the intel me 95% including the network stack.


But for that, you would be better off buying from here:
http://zerocat.org/shop-en.html



IF not, and this is a better option, in fact I am typing from this:  A  
libreboot device.  Such as the x200, T400, X60 64 bit, (which can be done via  
software if you extremely careful!)


I use an x200,

for a more complete list of libreboot devices,:

But yeah, for now I recommend the usb adapter I mentioned

Hey there,

i am planing to switch to trisquel because i want to support free software  
and have a possibly nsa-free system. I tried trisquel a couple of minutes ago  
and sadly my wifi doesn't work.
To be honest, that's what i anticipated because it is always the same when i  
try to use completely free operating Systems.



I think i may have to relpace my PCIE Wifi Card with something more  
compatible, like a:

RealTek RTL8188EE Wifi Card

But i have read that there is a "whitelist" in my bios which tries to keep me  
from replacing this wifi card. Sadly, there is no libreboot/ custom-bios at  
the moment to remove that nasty "defective by desgin"-piece-of-garbage..


Any suggestions?
Maybe buy a USB-Wifi-Adapter like this:
Realtek RTL8188cus ?

I'd be in favor of removing it. If I understand correctly, Canonical has
killed Unity and is using GNOME instead for 18.04 and onwards. I'd
rather the Trisquel devs focus on Trisquel 9 and non-x86 architecture
support.

I think that KDE Plasma works in Trisquel 8. I briefly installed and
used it, and though I quickly discovered that I hated it and
uninstalled, I did not run into any bugs. If it's not working for you, I
suggest starting a new thread and we can help troubleshoot.

Hi, i have one installation of Flidas and i gave a try to Unity but the panel  
is empty and many appaerance settings seems to do nothing. I saw a topic few  
months ago (almost one year) and this bug was about being fixed in the next  
version, but no new version has coming and Unity is not 100% functional. I  
think that to have one thing you have it right or you remove it, but still i  
see a desktop with errors for a long time, and a desktop that is not working  
at all (KDE).
