That is just what i needed! Thanks SirGrant!
:) Well, this is what we are trying to do.
I'll prod some more although before I do lets work together on figuring out a
plan of action. We need to write up some proposals of policies and how the
system would work and *stay working*.
First thing we really need is a wiki!
I'll work on this some more once we have a wiki. I think it will be telling
though as to this efforts success if we can't even get a wiki up.
I'm unemployed and very, very poor at the moment. I'll gladly help to fund
Trisquel in the future, if i can. In the meantime i may have some skills (and
time, for sure) to help in some way: I'm Portuguese and i have already
volunteered to translate whatever i can to/from English/Portuguese.
did it work?
you could also use apt-get -d install (package) to make it just download
required stuff. Then do the same without -d to actually install packages from
harddrive.
:) Maybe instead of writing scripts we should copy several ISO images tot he
Trisquel flash drive. That is all I had to do to get it to fail.
Hmm... Try
sudo apt-get install --reinstall abrowser
Put a # in front of the hidden timeout. That will comment it out.
It seems like a great deal, but unfortunately, several of these games are
unlikely to work in fully free environment.
Psychonauts use some textures that are unsupported by Intel graphicscards,
Super Meat Boy may not work with Intel cards as well, Amnesia might also have
some issues running
That is too bad.
Is this an issue that will be resolved going forward with newer Intel
graphics cards? Or are they using nVidia / ATI dependent graphics features?
It seems that at least one of the games uses features uncompatible with Intel
graphics cards: Psychonauts. They literally say, Note: Psychonauts uses s3tc
textures which are not supported by Intel integrated graphics.
Maybe if enough people will email the developers about it, they will
Well, the software packages are back again and the system settings menu
entry is back too but i still can't install software with the Add/Remove
apps menu and i still can't make synaptic to work. Any advice on that?
This is perfect. That is you have provided a little more insight into
Rubén's thought on the matter.
From it we now know what our first goal/policy should be:
1.
Problem to solve: people start projects, and then leave, abandoned,
disorganised, and unmaintainable.
Proposed policy: Require
I think that is a good idea. Maybe this is something that could be patched
out. It also sounds like something that might be supported in a future Intel
graphics chipset to me.

Trisquel simply copies all the /var subfolders into /var/tmp (!)

You can indeed use a live system (e.g., Trisquel's live CD) to fix your

past is that of the 'chroot'.
Well, GNU/Linux users may very well pay more for the same product but you
have to admit that the Windows and Mac users are having far better
alternatives for gaming and that the humblebundle data is irrelevant in
relation to the gaming ecosystem.
However, I must admit that the fact that
I think for a lot of power users the only thing really holding them
back from switching to Linux is that they don't want to lose gaming, or
lose performance by running it in a VM or mess around with dual booting.
I'm sure there are a lot of apps people would be willing to either pay

This has to be taken out of context and is very misleading. The last I spoke

freedom. While the above statement may be a quote from him it doesn't lead to

I think the idea is if we can't reliably translated it and continue to do so

You do admit that the majority of GNU/Linux based distros like Fedora and

firmware in the kernel and the option to install nonfree. I say option
because the last time I installed Ubuntu, the restricted, multiverse, and
I'd love to discuss this although it's not at all productive in any way and I

free to relax.
Glad I could be of use.
