No, the setting in resolv.conf doesn't survive a reboot. I boot once daily  
and I can live with this workaround until a fix is available. BTW, I got the

Hell, now i see your topic.
At first i thought it was my connection, but my wi-fi was still working.  
Fortunately, i remembered that yesterday i upgraded network-manager, so i  
reverted to previous version and all worked again.


WPA supplicant can be upgraded, it doesn't break anything.

Yes, the wpa backport is part of the same commit as the network-manager
backport, so I assume it is only there as a dependency of the newer
network-manager.

For those who have neither their system online nor the lower versions of the  
packages on their disk, these packages are attached to this post.  Bring them  
somehow (a pendrive, for instance) to the offline system, where, in a  
terminal, you will move them to /var/cache/apt/archives (here assuming the  
files are in the working directory):
$ sudo mv network-manager_1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb  
wpasupplicant_2.4-0ubuntu6.6_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives


Then, chaosmonk's commands will work.  Well, except that he forgot to mention  
that NetworkManager must be restarted at the end:

@chaosmonk: downgrading only NetworkManager was sufficient for my system, but  
I imagine the reason to upgrade to a possibly less tested version of  
wpa_supplicant was to get a newer version of NetworkManager, hence the advice  
to downgrade both.  Am I right?

Neither do I, and at this point I'm ready to give up. Ark74 and I spent
hours working on a helper[1] that addressed the hostname issue, and it
did not cause these problems when we tested it, but this other helper
was used instead without any discussion. I don't really feel like
putting more of my time into this issue. I've emailed quidam and pinged
him on IRC asking him to revert these changes, and in the meantime I've
made a forum thread[2] warning users and explaining how to upgrade all

If you have already upgraded and need to revert to the previous
versions, use

$ sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3
$ sudo apt install wpasupplicant=2.4-0ubuntu6.6

In that case, it is the changes made to nm-setting-ip4-config.c and
nms-ifcfg-rh-writer.c that are causing the issue, which can only be
reverted by recompiling.

What happens if you make NetworkManager forget the connection to your
router and start fresh?

Prior to the update, the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
looked like this

```
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono
dns=dnsmasq

[ifupdown]
managed=false
```

Now it looks like this:

```
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes

[connection]
wifi.cloned-mac-address=stable
ethernet.cloned-mac-address=stable
connection.stable-id=${CONNECTION}/$(BOOT)
```

So the problem should lie in the new [device] section, the new
[connection] section, and/or the missing "dns=dnsmasq" line. (I ofono in
the "plugins=" line makes a difference.)

If completely reverting to the contents of the old NetworkManager.conf
doesn't fix the problem, then perhaps the issue has something to do with
the newer versions of network-manager and/or wpasupplicant, which with
this latest change are now backported from Ubuntu 18.04.

I'm not sure. It seems that the problem may have something to do with
how your computer communicates with your router, and I'm not sure
whether something relevant to this happens on startup that does not
happen when restarting NetworkManager.

network-manager automatically generates /etc/resolv.conf on startup,
which will overwrite any changes you make manually, so you can't
persistently change DNS behind network-manager's back. I think that

it persistently. This[1] should also work.

Possibly. Run

$ apt policy network manager

And see if the "Installed:" field says "1.10.6-2ubuntu1+8.0trisquel1" to
confirm that you received the update I think you received.

This is a recent change so prevent network-manager from disclosing your
hostname to the router, which was deemed a privacy issue.

If you have not rebooted since updating, try doing so. If that doesn't
help, or if you have already rebooted, try installing the old version
of network-manager and see if that fixes the problem.

$ sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3

Unless you have run "apt clean" since upgrading, the previous version of
network-manager should still be cached, so you should not need to be
connected to the internet to reinstall.

IIRC, you have this backward. The netinstaller offers to encrypt the
home directory, and the graphical installer offers to encrypt the entire
disk.

There used to be a semi-working one here,[1] but even that's gone now.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Weird text display distortions in ABrowser on Trisquel 8

I observe the same thing on Z61t (another 945GM-based ThinkPad, like X60  
series).

The /var directory consumes two thirds of the partition space. Try to clean  
it first.


When there is enough space on the / partition, then you can perform other  
optimizations.

I doubt that's the problem. I'm using Jxself's linux-libre repos. According

[Trisquel-users] Internet connection problem

2019-10-20 Thread anguriamelone
Hi to everyone! After the last update done today 20th, I cannot have WIFI  
internet connection in my desktop PC and notebook, both with Trisquel 8 mini.  
My WIFI modem works perfecly in another notebook with Lubuntu 16.04.6 LTS  
(free-libre version). Is there perhaps a bug in the update of the network  
manager? How can I solve the problem with the command lines? I use for my old  
notebook HP 510 the dongle Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter for GNU / Linux  
(TPE-N150USB) and  for the PC desktop the Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter /w  
External Antenna for GNU / Linux (TPE-N150USBL), both by ThinkPenguin. Both  
notebook and desk PC worked very well until yesterday 19th! Thank you for  
your attention.

Or instead of encrypting the home directory encrypt the entire drive. Then  
you don't need to deal with / and /home being different partitions as they  
are showing in your screenshot and then potentially running low on space with  
one while the other might still have gobs and gobs of space left. That  
requires using the netinstall image which, last I checked, has been broken  
for about 8 months now. Welcome to Trisquel.

2019-10-20 Thread Narcis Garcia
$ sudo apt-get clean

Your /var tree is really heavy. What is using so many space there?

Moving system unencrypted tree (sda1) to encrypted volume (sda5) is not
simple.

[Trisquel-users] About tethering

2019-10-20 Thread softwdensky

I am trying to connect a Thinkpenguin router to a X60s by tethering iPhone.
I have succeeded in it before, it was like:

iPhone > (Wifi) > TPE-R1200 > (a LAN cable) > X60s

Although I was configuring it randomly,
I succeeded in tethering and it has worked well. But since about a week ago,  
I have not succeeded in tethering in this way. Two dongles (both AR9271)  
generally work well after I deleted verbose configurations on Indicator  
Applet Complete (iPhone1, iPhone2, iPhone3, ethernet1, 優先接続1, etc).  
It is like:


A dongle > (USB port) > X60s

But I would like to use the router. I don't still understand its concrete  
benefit though.

Would you teach me a basic simple setting/configuration of tethering?
I would like this:

1. iPhone > (Wifi) > TPE-R1200 > (a LAN cable) > X60s

or

2. iPhone > (USB cable) > TPE-R1200 > (LAN cable) > X60s

or I do not want to use the dongles very much though,

3. iPhone > (Wifi) > TPE-R1200 > (Wifi? Ad-Hoc? anyway radio) > a dongle >  
(USB port directly) > X60s


I have followed an instruction page of OpenWRT but failed (IIRC, dpkg did not  
work in a terminal).

LibreCMC and Trisquel seems to have no documents about tethering.

Thank you very much in advance.
