Re: [Trisquel-users] I cant join the community =(

I joined this site years before I bought a system that's freedom friendly.  
Even then, It's not complete yet, I'm still trying to find money to complete  
it.



When I joined, I was mildly interested about a 100% libre system. You know  
kinda like those people that make videos about Windows 98 and ask if it's  
still useful today doing daily tasks. But, now with centralized proprietary  
stuff constantly violating my trust, I thought "I wouldn't be surprised if my  
Bios was spying on me" and than I thought "Oh wait, it probably is thanks to  
IME/PSP".

Do you know what NVIDIA GPU your system has? If so it might be possible to  
give a pointer on what kernel might be needed, or if it's a very recent one  
then even new nouveau kernel modules may not support it well.

Debian 10's default kernel is 4.19, whereas Trisquel 8's is 4.4. It's
possible that your hardware is better supported by the newer kernel.
Trisquel's repository has a 4.15 kernel you could try, and you can add
jxself's[1] repository to install 4.19.

Not all of us use Trisquel.  We all just try to do what we can.

[Trisquel-users] I cant join the community =(

[peoy1988]

Sorry, but I can't joine the trisquel community. I tried installing trisquel  
on my computer, but I got a screen resolution of 600x something. I tried  
every way to get rid of VESA and replace it with the open version of nvidia  
driver nou (something), but without success. I also tried to configure the  
xorg.conf.vesa file. I ended up installing the latest version of Debian where  
everything worked "out of the box" without any commercial drivers. I think  
it's a shame because I like the trisquel philosophy of being completely free.
