Re: [Trisquel-users] Booting Libreboot/Trisquel with full encryption
I think that the don't reflash part only applies if you didn't go with full disk encryption. I could be wrong though. Yes, I would consider the grub files on the disk irrelevant.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Booting Libreboot/Trisquel with full encryption
What SuperTramp83 said. Libreboot doesn't read grub from the disk. Grub is inside libreboot. So you need to modify your grub.cfg inside libreboot using the cbfstool. It's easiest to flash new modified roms from inside trisquel. I'm assuming you flashed the x200 yourself, so you don't need to worry to much about flashing a rom and then it doesn't boot as you can just reflash it externally again.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Wifi for my x200

OK, thanks for the clarification.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Kernel panic, what happened?
I had a kernel panic a week ago or something like that, but I didn't think much of it so I didn't bother saving the log then.
[Trisquel-users] Kernel panic, what happened?
I got a kernel panic, curious if anybody can see what happened. Using latest Trisquel Mini. I wasn't at my computer when it happened so it shouldn't have been very busy.

Re: [Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
OK, the results are in! Here's how I tested: On my local server (connected with gigabit tp to my Asus RT-AC68U) I ran $ cat /dev/urandom | nc -l 1234 and on my X200 I ran $ nc server.ip 1234 > /dev/null I then monitored the speeds with conky and estimated the average speed I was getting. Here's what I got ar5b91 5.5-6 mb/s ar5b92 12.5-13 mb/s ar5b97 11.5-12 mb/s So now I'm using the ar5b92 card and it seems to be performing nicely :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
Yup, that's what I'm hoping for. Hopefully I'll be able to give a good review on which of the four cards I'll have in total works best for me.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
It's $25 for three cards, shipping included. That kind of money I can afford to spend :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
I've bought a AR9280, a AR9281 and a AR9287 to see if they are any better. Will be back with results when I get them in the mail :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
I was downloading the same file from my NAS on both computers. Both computers approx 3 meters from the router. The file was traveling from my NAS, cat6 cable, Asus RT-AC68U, WiFi, to laptop, in both cases. Transfer was over SMB. I'm at work now, but when I get home I do a better test for the actual speeds. My thinking is that I can set up my home server like this: $ cat /dev/urandom | nc -l 1234 and then on my laptop $ nc server.ip 1234 > /dev/null That should be a better indicator for actual max speeds. I'll try to get that done tonight. Is anybody else using an X200 with Atheros AR9285? What kind of speeds are you getting?
Re: [Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
OK, I did the test with urandom described above. My MacBook is stable at 16 megabyte/s. My X200 is fluctuating wildly but seems to average around 500 kilobyte/s. The Bit Rate from iwconfig says 65 Mb/s but the card is capable of 150 Mb/s (to my understanding). Nobody else here running a libreboot X200 with an atheros card? Does the transfer speeds not get any better that this?
Re: [Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
The machines are sitting next to each other. Or do you mean switch the network cards of the computers? I don't think that's going to work...
[Trisquel-users] Good network monitor for Trisquel Mini?
I can't seem to find a network monitor to put in the tray for my Trisquel Mini LXDE. There's a great panel applet called "resource monitors", but it only shows graphs for CPU and RAM. I wan't network usage as well. Any ideas where I can find something like that?
Re: [Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
Seems it can get better, but I've already done the stuff in this post with no difference: https://askubuntu.com/a/186603
Re: [Trisquel-users] Good network monitor for Trisquel Mini?
Hmm, well it's something :) It suits my purposes for now at least. But if anybody knows of something that's more like what I'm looking for it would be appreciated :)
[Trisquel-users] What WiFi speeds can I expect?
I bought this Atheros AR5B95 AR9285 from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Atheros-AR5B95-AR9285-802-11A-PCI-E/dp/B0098VWMOE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8=1441819790=8-1=B0098VWMOE But I'm not very satisfied with the wifi speed, I think it's quite slow. iwconfig says Bit Rate is 65 Mb/s, Tx-Power 31 dBm, Link Quality 70/70, Signal level -39 dBm. I'm getting around 1 megabyte/s transfers. But isn't that card supposed to be 802.11n? My MacBook with 802.11n has a Bit Rate of 217 Mb/s and downloads at around 11 megabytes/second. Is there some config I should tweak to get faster wifi?
[Trisquel-users] Custom keyboard layout, Super+Space won't switch
I bought a ThinkPad X200 and installed Trisquel 7, planning on installing libreboot later. But I want to use a customized keyboard layout and I can't get it to work. I've /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us to my liking, removed /var/lib/xkb/*.xkm and run sudo service lightdm restart. Then I went to System Settings > Language Support and selected "Keyboard input method system: None" (IBus seems to be for chinese, I don't want to run systems I don't need). Then System Settings > Region & Language > Input Sources where I added my custom layout. If I click the keyboard-button to view the selected keyboard layout it is correct. Next to the input sources list it says "Shortcuts: Switch to next source: Super+Space". So I open gedit and start typing. It's the standard layout. I press windows+space. Still the standard layout. So, how do I switch between keyboard layouts? And how do I set which keyboard layout is the default keyboard layout, to be used when the machine boots? Should the topmost keyboard layout in the list be used? Because that isn't working either. Any help greatly appreciated :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Custom keyboard layout, Super+Space won't switch
OK, I think I've come up with something that works. - Fix my keyboard layout as described in my first post - Leave Keyboard Layout Handler with "Keep system layouts" - Create an executable file with the line 'setxkbmap -layout "us,se" -variant "myvariant," -option "grp:shifts_toggle"' - In ~/.config/autostart create a file with the content: [Desktop Entry] Exec=/path/to/above/script Type=Application Now when I log in I have my US variant, and if I press both shift-keys it switches to a standard swedish keyboard layout. Awesome! :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Custom keyboard layout, Super+Space won't switch
I just downloaded the standard Trisquel. System Settings > Details says I'm using Gnome. I come from a Mac background and have been using Linux for servers (headless) so I'm not very familiar with Linux desktop stuff. There is no Keyboard Layout Handler to choose when I right-click the bottom bar and pick "Add to panel...".
Re: [Trisquel-users] Custom keyboard layout, Super+Space won't switch
I installed Trisquel Mini with LXDE instead. I'm able to switch between keyboard layouts using Keyboard Layout Handler. But then I addded my variant of the us keyboard layout using the method described in my first post and it won't show up in Keyboard Layout Handler. I can get it to load if I tell Keyboard Layout Handler to use the system layout and edit /etc/default/keyboard to use my layout. So the system can find it but it's not visible to Keyboard Layout Handler. Why am I mucking about with this? I want to use a US layout as it's best suited for programming, but I'm in Sweden so I really need to be able to write ÅÄÖ. So I want a US layout with the ability to AltGr to ÅÄÖ on some buttons. This was quite easy to setup on my mac, but I'm really confused by the keyboard handling in Linux. There's xkb and input methods like xim and IBus and I can't understand how it fits together.
