Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7.0 alpha - Problems and observations
The purpose of Abrowser was to replace Firefox, because Firefox had non-free bits. However, many distributions of GNU/Linux have their own modified firefox, including trisquel, and so the developer decided to stop developing Abrowser, because it is a waste of time for multiple people to do the same thing again and again, and also the developer of Trisquel has also became the person in charge of Icecat, the FSF's version of it, and so Trisquel will no longer have Abrowser, in about a year Abrowser will no longer be used. So try installing Icecat.

Regarding to the xfce installation issue, look carefully the error message. If I remember correctly, the problem is a .desktop file. Just rename it and you will be able to install xfce.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7.0 alpha - Problems and observations
@axgb: Does that mean abrowser will still be in the final repos for Trisquel 7.0? @jbar: Well... how would renaming a .desktop file help to fix this problem?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7.0 alpha - Problems and observations
"@jbar: Well... how would renaming a .desktop file help to fix this problem?" When installing xfce there's another version of the same .desktop file. The conflict comes to not overwrite the previous file.

The same accessibility regressions I've reported with previous Trisquel 7 Alphas are still present in the one released aJune 27; There are two I forgot to mention: When I launch synaptic, from the System Settings panel, and enter my password, orca is silent for the entire session, even when I restart it;Orca does not speak the top item in any desktop menu.

And, here's one more: When on the desktop, I accicentally hit 'f1' instead of 'alt+f1', and got GNOME Help. A help file, reached by pressing 'f1' is a good thing to have, but the one in Trisquel 7 is for GNOME Shell, an interface we're not using. This will likely confuse naive users who may open this file and see instructions and screen shots that look nothing like the Trisquel desktop. Maybe we should point to the Trisquel manual pages, instead, or have some off-line version of them?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7.0 alpha - Problems and observations
Trisquel 6.0 have the same problem. The Help is about GNOME Shell.

Hi Sorry my english I'm from Brazil. I use trisquel 6 Any 2 months and am loving. Use abrowser, how dumb to icecat? In "apt-cache search" it points the abrowser.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7.0 alpha - Problems and observations
Icecat is not yet present in the repositories, Abrowser is. You needn't move to Icecat as of yet, as far as I know.
