Re: [Trisquel-users] Nouveau, kernel and freezes
Yeah, it's still maintained and that's an amazing thing. But if there's a critical bug like that (random freezings are very annoying), i'd rather install the latest version if it's patched for that. I hope 5.8 will fix it, thank you so much!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Libre Kernel?
Installed today and working like a charm. Thank you!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Libre Kernel?
Update: it worked for me without issues. I'm running linux-libre 5.7.4 right now, latest version.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Nouveau, kernel and freezes
Yeah, thanks. I've seen the other topic about it, and i managed to install the latest linux-libre kernel, which is 5.7.4. And it works GREAT (no issues at all). Unfortunately, still crashes happens sometimes due to some Nouveau bug still unresolved. I'm talking with Karol Herbst to find a solution but i need more logs.
[Trisquel-users] Nouveau, kernel and freezes
I don't know if someone is aware of some issues related to nouveau and older kernels, such as freezes, GPU crashes and multithreading. I talked with one of nouveau's developers, Karol Herbst, and he is working on it for a long time. In this tweet (https://twitter.com/nouveau_xorg/status/1274628416306909184) he said he implemented a patch in one of the newest Linux kernels (5.6). However, Trisquel repository is still at Linux kernel 4.15, which is pretty much old. Is there any plan to implement a kernel > 5.6? (the latest is the 5.7) Or, is it safe to upgrade manually to the latest Linux kernel (or Linux-libre in this case) without messing with everything else? Thanks
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Libre Kernel?
I'm planning to install the latest linux-libre version too because of some nouveau issues related to the kernel. I hope all goes right, even though i know i can go back to the stable 4.15 release which is the latest distro provided kernel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] No ethernet connection after minimal netinstall
OMG Beko, it worked. The solution was to install the "linux-image-extra-hwe-16.04-edge", which not only installed all the required ethernet Realtek modules but also support for NTFS which was not installed with the Linux-generic kernel. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Re: [Trisquel-users] No ethernet connection after minimal netinstall
yes I thought about that but I don't know which kernel I should install. I tried with the latest one, the 4.15.0-74-generic, I can also choose between signed, generic, hwe and others, and I don't know the differences.
Re: [Trisquel-users] No ethernet connection after minimal netinstall
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. And for the kernel, yes I thought about that but I don't know which kernel I should install. I tried with the latest one, the 4.15.0-74-generic, I can also choose between signed, generic, hwe and others, and I don't know the differences.
[Trisquel-users] No ethernet connection after minimal netinstall
Hi everyone, I need help. I installed a minimal Trisquel 9.0 setup with no desktop environment. My idea was to install AwesomeVM without any pre-installed DE. All was fine but when I rebooted and the shell opened, I had no internet connection. Command "sudo ifconfig" tells me that I only have "lo" module loaded, no Eth0, no enp1s0, nothing else. I tried using my mobile connection with USB tethering but it cannot be recognized. Seems like my Realtek ethernet 8111 card kernel module is not loaded and ethernet connection is not recognized. Has someone any idea of what can I do? Chaosmonk?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Graphical ISO available for testing
Alright, thank you for the answer. I really love Trisquel Mini, it's just exactly what i need for a lightweight and fast DE for my very old PC. Thank you again for your hard work, it's really appreciated.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Graphical ISO available for testing
chaosmonk, any idea of when Trisquel Mini is gonna be ready?
[Trisquel-users] GCC-Multilib
Hi everybody. I'm trying to install Feral's gamemode 32-bit libraries, but it needs some 32-bit libraries which are included in gcc-multilib package, which is not installable on Trisquel. vanacksabbadium@Cyclops:~/Desktop/gamemode/build32$ sudo apt install gcc-multilib Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gcc-multilib : Depends: gcc-5-multilib (>= 5.3.1-3~) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Is there something i can do? Thank you in advance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Internet connection problem
I quote Magic Banana (nice nick BTW), the newest Network Manager upgrade doesn't work either, i had to downgrade again.
Re: [Trisquel-users] don't upgrade to backported network-manager or wpa-supplicant
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.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Italian administration goes Open Source, and that will benefit Free Software
I'm italian, so this is an amazing news for me as an italian citizen. However, i know italian people. We say "fatta la legge, trovato l'inganno", that means literally "created the law, found the trick". When the article says that "public administration MIGHT use proprietary software but it has to justify it", i read it as "everyone will found a way to use proprietary software by finding excuses to not use free and open source software". Why? Because that's how italian people usually do things. And that is sad and shameful. I hope someone will care about open source enough to make a statement and a change in italian administration, which is very obsolete (some offices still use Windows XP...) as today.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Snap on Trisquel Mini 8
Yes, i´ḿ trying to install the newest version of Midori. I managed to install it from source, but now it lacks of very useful extensions like bookmarks manager. I suppose that installing from source messed some configurations... So i wanted to try with the "official" way of installing it, which is by using snap.
[Trisquel-users] Snap on Trisquel Mini 8
Hi everyone. Is it possible to install snap on Trisquel Mini? If i type "sudo apt install snapd" it gives me: Package snapd is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'snapd' has no installation candidate Thank you so much.
