[Trisquel-users] Install and use Unity
Hi There I am coming from a Mac and do like OS X for it's usability. Then I once tried Ubuntu with Unity but I quickly figured out that it isn't as free as thought. Now I am here and I really love on which values you built Trisquel. But the Gnome desktop I can't handle at all. I tried to install and use Unity and did that: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/documentation-unity Now I can choose at login which desktop but it says either "Gnome" or "Tisquel". "Gnome" results in showing just the shiny Trisquel background and "Trisquel" boots like expected into Gnome. Can you explain to me how to boot into Unity? Thank you very much!

Thank you but that didn't work either. Shouldn't there be any message after running the script? The terminal doesn't say more than ">"...

Thank you for your help! Is there someting else I need to install?
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Install and use Unity
Thank you all for your help! I am now trying to reinstall from scratch. @a_slacker_here: What do I need to install first and what not? I am confuse by the different packages like "unity" and "unity-2d".
[Trisquel-users] Old firefox sync
Hello Is there a way to use to old discontinued pre Firefox 29 sync? I have an Owncloud and would love to use that again. I am aware that it doesn't in Abowser at this point. Thank you
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Install and use Unity
I tried it again on a fresh install exactly like described here: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-install-unity-desktop-environment-and-create-session-entry-trisquel-70 But it didn't work. When I do the last step nothing happens. But I don't know if this is normal (see picture below).
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Install and use Unity
Hmm this didn't help either. I thouhgt it had something to do with the name of the file because it was called unity.sh_0 so I renamed it back to unity.sh.
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Install and use Unity
Is there a way to add the entry manually without script?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Install and use Unity
Thanks to all! It works now (see #13)! Case closed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Install and use Unity
Thank you! That was apparently the issue! So I always pulled the file onto the terminal and hit enter. But I didn't know what the "." meant. So I didn't type the dot and it finally worked!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old firefox sync
I meant more a way to use the old sync with newer versions of FF.

Maybe I should first learn the basics in compiling/installing ecetera. I am going to try again tonight.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Brother DCP-7055 printer
Wher do I find the src directory?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Brother DCP-7055 printer
When I plug it in it installs itself but then it won't print. When I add it manually I don't know what to choose since DCP-7055 isn't in the list.
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Update Manager Not Working
Is it possible that the PPA came with unuty have installed just recently? Can I just use the main server and it should be fixed?

Thank you for that amazing video! I will try it at home. One more question: Should my printer be plugged in during the installing?
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Brother DCP-7055 printer
Thank you for your thoughts! "Hinzufügen" means: add

Re: [Trisquel-users] Brother DCP-7055 printer
Thanky again for your video. Should it work now directly or are there any other steps to perform?
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Brother DCP-7055 printer
"Set up" means pluging in and it should work, right?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Brother DCP-7055 printer
That's what I tried but I can't find a printer called br-laser or so
[Trisquel-users] Active Sync
Hello Is there any solution to sync mail, calendar and contacts with a server which uses active sync? I read something about Evolution and an adapter but I didn't find it. Any advice helps!

Yes I guess I have to admit that I am not able (yet) to understand how to proceed. Thank you very much for your keen help!
[Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
Hello I tried to reinstall the system. Because I want to try KDE Plasma I downloaded the NetInstaller. But the computer just won't boot from the USB drive. I wrote it with different methods and from a mac as well. There do arrive files on the USB drive (see screenshot). When I boot I choose "UEFI generic USB drive" (or so) and then it just gives me the regular choice to boot Trisquel or with advanced options. Is there anybody who can help me?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
Yes I have. I tried: -"dd" -That guide: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/using-netinstall-image-bootable-usb-drive -unetbootin (on a Mac) -"USB live creator" doesn't recognize the iso as an image...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Active Sync
I am not what it is either It isn't MS Exchange so your advice doesn't bring me further. It is apparently called "Kerio Connect" https://www.kerio.com/products/kerio-connect
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
When I go into the boot settings is have "UEFI" enabled and I have just the USB drive as a boot option. Then it throws me on every boot back into the settings page.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
Yes when I installed Trisqel maybe a month ago... Weird. What think you about the fact that the USB creator in Tisquel doesn't let me write the .iso file to the USB drive?
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Can't boot NetInstall
I will try another drive in the next days. I don't have a DVD drive but my roommate has an external one... All the other PCs in house are Macs... I'm not shure if they even can boot from suck a stick. But in theory it could work. They are all Intel. Thank you for your advice!
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Can't boot NetInstall
I tried it with another drive but it does the same thing. Nothing.
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Can't boot NetInstall
I took two pictures of the settings and the boot window...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
I just have given it another try with disabled UEFI. Initially I was happy to see it acted different but I had no luck. Just an underline on a black screen appeared and continued to blink. I had a USB to Network adapter plugged in and the Internet works when running Tisquel...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
One more question: should it be possible to create a bootable USB with the system integrated "USB creator" or not? Because I can make one with the "belenos" .iso file but not with the "Trisquel NetInstall" one.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
Thanks to both of you. I managed to boot the "belenos" .iso so my machine can boot from USB. @davidnotcoulthard: It is actually a Asus Zenbook (UX31 I guess). I am going to use an external USB drive now Thans to all of you!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
Yes, I am sorry.
[Trisquel-users] Which Kernel
Hi There This afternoon I will try to install Trisquel via NetInstall. I am pretty shure that I will have to choose manually the appropriate kernel. Could somebody tell me how to determine the kernel I need? I have an Asus Zenbook UX31. http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX31E/ Thank you for your help.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't boot NetInstall
That works neither because that superdrive from apple won't run without drivers. I can boot the disc on my old mac with an internal drive Maybe I will get a used drive for PC.
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Brother DCP-7055 printer
I finally use that tutorial: http://stepsilon.com/ubuntu/install-printer-brother-dcp-7055-ubuntu I guess it isn't entirely open soure but at least I can print now.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Brother DCP-7055 printer
Yes that is what I did. So I didn't promote how to install proprietary software.
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Install Printer
You might use that tutorial just with your files. In my case the brother drivers were open source. Check at the bottom of the page... There should be the source code http://stepsilon.com/ubuntu/install-printer-brother-dcp-7055-ubuntu.

[Trisquel-users] Delete KDE Programms
I have installed KDE and I love the flavour of it. But I don't like that I have now several programs who cover the same task. For example there is now Kmail and Evolution. Is there a way to get rid of all the KDE software besides the desktop itself?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Plasma 5
That's still to hard for me. If this is the only way I'll have to wait until it comes from the trisquel servers one day. If it does at all...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Delete KDE Programms
I installed it with the NetInstaller... So I coulden't choose wheter I wanted everything or just the desktop. Is there a way to install KDE after the initial setup?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Plasma 5
Sounds easy but where do I have to run that command? I mean at what point?
[Trisquel-users] Tisquel 8 KDE
Hello I am have been wondering when Trisquel 8 is coming out and if it will be possible to choose the KDE Desktop before downloading the image.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tisquel 8 KDE
Is there a way to speedup that process? Since I can't help with developing is there something else? Fundraising?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tisquel 8 KDE
Okey thanks for the clarification. I forgot that we have to wait for the next LTS!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Delete KDE Programms
Thanks Banana! Thats exactly what I was wondering when I installed Trisquel via the NetInstaller. There is "Triskel" and "Trisquel"... Hard to guess which one to choose...
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Delete KDE Programms
You mean in the NetInstaller?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Delete KDE Programms
Okay I am running the installer now and will see if I get it.
