VLC has a lot of keys already defined and you must manually removed the
previous entry for a key to work, real handy...
Failing that, take a look at xbindkeys and xdotool packages. You can use the
xev command to find out keysums.
Yes I think you're right SirGrant. As far as I know, in previous Trisquel
versions, there was always a key in that box, it looked like a PGP key.
Although maybe the Update Manager itself has changed, and the key is no
longer displayed there.

Some discussion and suggestion regarding the next release, which I assume
will be an LTS based on 12.04
Rather than using Gnome 3, I think Trisquel should move towards the most
stable and usable MATE desktop environment, similar to Linux Mint's latest
release. Anybody else agree?
You might be clicking the wrong button. Go to the web page and click Install
Extension. After a few seconds a box will appear, asking you do you want to
install the extension, click Allow. You'll be prompted to restart you

What advantage would Mate offer that Gnome does not?

I was wondering about the Trisquel release numbers.
Since the next release will base things off 12.04, why not keep a
numbering system similar to that source?
Switch from Trisquel 6.0 to Trisquel 12.04, Trisquel 12.10 and so on?

I'm an XP Pro user looking to switch to Linux. I have asked on other forums
if there is any distro kernel version that is 100% free of this 'Trusted
Computing' junk, and was recommended Trisquel. So my first question here is
can anyone confirm that Trisquel contains absolutely no Trusted
MATE = Gnome 2.32 sources renamed.
I personally love GNOME 3 and its GNOME Shell interface. I believe Trisquel
will soon (although maybe not for Trisquel 6) ship GNOME Shell as the default
interface thanks to the work of the Fedora project to make it available
through software rendering (no need for 3D acceleration).
I'm in. :-)

Honestly though, we're at the point where all free drivers can do 3d
acceleration. I haven't come across any free driver that could not yet.
Nevertheless, Gnome 3 and its shell interface is counterintuitive and hides
EVERY single customization option, something that Gnome 2 was outstanding
There is some work on this desktop environment. If it sticks to GTK 2, I do
not see much future in it because that would mean the versions of the GNOME
applications, which MATE ships, will never be updated (what may include some
security leaks that may never be fixed). Notice also that no

I think you are mistaken, MATE does have very vibrant and development and
does have active updates, yes all the programs will stay the same feature
wise, but why fix what isn't broke?
And Linux Mint does ship with MATE as default, in fact they RECOMMEND it and
do active development on it.
People were saying the same thing when GNOME 2 replaced GNOME. Notice also
that Trisquel includes GNOME tweaks. Many cool customizations can be obtained
through extensions, a really cool feature of GNOME Shell.
As for 3D acceleration, I believe you do not have an AMD/ATI video card.
I suppose 'Trisquel 12.09' would be more appropriate than 'Trisquel 6.0', but
personally I prefer code names.
I'm in favor of shipping Trisquel with something other than MATE enabled
by default, just so long as MATE is there too and can be easily enabled
(like through the login screen).
I'm 42 yrs old and both Unity and GNOME3 make me cry like a baby with
their UIs. They just aren't right. :-)
Robert,
Didn't know such a thing was possible! Will try XFCE.

I have an AMD card in my Elitebook, works fine out of the box when I used
Linux mint for 3d acceleration. Why single out AMD when they actually relase
hardware specifications to the community, unlike NVIDIA?
I don't think AMD released all their hardware specs. Their drivers are
still proprietary.
Trisquel 5.x will not use the card in my Toshiba notebook in native
resolutions (1600 x 1200). It will only boot up in something like 1280
x 960. Trisquel 5.x does use the motherboard-card on my

and make more sense in the long-term (IMO).

I actually wrote that there is some work on this desktop environment to
correct you writing that MATE = Gnome 2.32 sources renamed. So, yes, there
is some development. My point is that sticking with GTK 2 would mean
maintaining older versions of the GNOME applications and, although there is
Mint does not use Linux-libre. Today only proprietary firmware allows 3D
acceleration on AMD/ATI cards. Trisquel is about software freedom and will
never ship proprietary firmware.
Before using GNOME Shell, I strongly advise to first read this page.
And, of course, you can easily switch to any other free desktop environment
(KDE, Xfce, etc.) available in Trisquel's repository: just select it in the
Synaptic package manager, apply, disconnect and, at the login screen,
I like Gnome 3 and wish that Gnome-shell was the default for Trisquel. There
are still a few issues with Gnome-shell, but over all I like it and find it
very usable.
Why so much hate for Gnome 3?
Good question!
I don't see any problems with Gnome 3's classic or shell mode, and
switch between the two often.

I would rather see numbers as well. Words are fairly meaningless when it
comes to versions. The date/version approach Ubuntu uses is very easy to
follow and should be borrowed IMO.
I for one love Gnome-Shell and use it in Trisquel. Trisquel's approach of
'fallback' and 'shell if your computer can handle it' is a good one IMO and
should continue.
I think Rick Hodgin's suggestion is a good one. From the next release,
Trisquel should be called Trisquel 12.04 LTS / Codename. It would help people
who are unfamiliar with Trisquel but know its more famous Ubuntu sibling.
I don't know the difference between Gnome 2, Gnome 3 and Gnome shell, or
Mate. I am familiar with Unity, on Ubuntu 12.04. A lot of work went into it.
I think we should stick with what is released in Ubuntu and reap the benefit
of all the development work that goes on there.
Unity is fine
