Re: [Trisquel-users] Thinkpad X200 volume keys not working Trisquel Mini
Sadly don't currently have an X200 on hand to test it. Is your keyboard set to the correct layout?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Server
> I use gnome-boxes on top of qemu-kvm for simple virtualization on Trisquel. Looks cool, never heard of this one before. Will certainly give this a go for Local DE Virtualisation. It may not be suitable for a headless instance, managed remotely via SSH or other. Headless qemu-kvm sounds like a goer, but I am not currently familiar. Will likely have a tinker on the new machine prior to making the jump. > https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2016/feb/25/zfs-and-linux/ Interesting, I was not aware of this issue. Switching over completely to the Libre Server may take a little longer than planned with a disk management change thrown in! > I've never used it myself, but I think that's the idea. > https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/using-netinstall-image-bootable-usb-drive I seem to be having problems getting this to boot. Dropped onto a USB using dd as with the normal and lite Trisquel images, no joy. Anyone that has used this version with success, could you please provide some tips? Thanks for all your help and responses thus far!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Server
Thanks again both. I have a few more questions on the Server front: I currently have a ZFS pool running in another server-type machine that I would ideally move over as-is. Is it possible to run ZFS (OpenZFS) under Trisquel? Secondly, what is the preferred/recommended means to run Virtual Instances/Machines/Containers in this regard? It is again intended to run multiple instances of whatever method is used, including a website, 'cloud', VoIP, Media Serving etc. From my time here I only tend to see requests or advice requested on standalone machines, usually Laptops. I hope any discussions here are useful to anyone in a similar situation as myself! Thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Server
Aha, I missed that option! Does this allow you to choose which components you want/need to install when run?
[Trisquel-users] Trisquel Server
Evening all, As the result of a cheeky offer I now have an Asus Motherboard + 2x CPU's on the way to me in the post. Once this arrives, the board will get Librebooted and fitted into it's new home as my main 'home lab' server. In terms of using Trisquel as a 'Server' OS, can you recommend the best way to go at this; i.e. a minimal console only installation for management over SSH, no Desktop Environment etc. Will it be a case of installing the Mini variant and removing everything I don't need? Thanks in advance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Macbook A1181
After a bit of head scratching and further reading around, I am please to report that my MacBook has now been Librebooted. In terms of getting a USB OS to boot under the stock Apple EFI firmware, my understanding is that a 32-bit EFI compatible distro is required. I believe most 32-bit distros are BIOS only, but please feel free to correct me. The one used in the end was SparkyLinux (based on Debian). A further change was requird to add the following into the Grub configuration once installed (described in the Libreboot Wiki): GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iomem=relaxed" Flashing then as per the Libreboot instructions worked perfectly, and is now happily running alongside Trisquel. This is now the second bit of hardware that can be considered 'fully free' alongside my LibreCMC'd Router, so I am quite pleased. :) Thanks for the responses, and hopefully this could help anyone else in the future.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Macbook A1181
Thanks for the responses. My device is a Macbook 2,1, and the issue I have is getting the Apple EFI to detect any GNU/Linux USB drive; this includes those with an AMD64+Mac tag. The only one that will work is a Clonezilla Live that I initially used to take a backup of the existing disk (just in case). Unfortunately I was unable to flash Libreboot from there, due to an issue with a Kernel setting (bit above my head on that one!). What I haven't tried is creating the USB disk from within OS X, as described in the Github Page by Bibanon. I will give this a try with the images I have and report back.
[Trisquel-users] Macbook A1181
Hi all, First off, I am new to the Trisquel forums, so hello to everyone. I was hoping to get some assistance with the aforementioned Macbook, which I believe is compatible with Libreboot. I am having trouble finding a bootable OS on the device; so far none I have tried will boot/be detected. My intention once Librebooted is to also run Trisquel. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
