Well isn't GRUB still used on systems that don't use secure boot but then switches to efilinux when secure boot is detected? Canonicals method just secures the bootloader and doesnt sign all the packages like the red hat method. Here is one place where I got the details:

I also learned from https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-June/035445.html that the GPLv3 is the big problem here with requriring their key to be made available and therefore it potentially being revoked by the certificate authority.

What about llvmpipe? Is that free software? I heard that with 12.10 that they are trying to get rid of Unity 2D and have standard Unity work without accelleration by using llvmpipe.

Regarding the next LTS, I think we should do what Ultimate Edition did and make it a jampacked release with many different desktop environments to choose from. KDE/Gnome3/MATE/Razor-QT/XFCE/LXDE/S3D, etc. I hadn't had a look at MATE. I think it looks quite interesting, certainly more

The reasoning behind putting the Unity launcher on the side is that vertical screen real estate is at a premium in modern displays, which are much wider than longer. It seems logical to me, therefore, to put the launcher on the side and I have got used to it there without much effort.

Hi there, SirGrant. Yes... I can see that my computer specifications are not listed there, yet. And I will most certainly submit the results of my experience, then. It's the least I can do, to contribute something back to you guys, and to the Free Software comunity at large. Take care

t3g said the big problem here with requriring their key to be made available and therefore it potentially being revoked by the certificate authority. That statement's made on a misunderstanding of GPLv3. If you read the FSF's statement Canonical/Ubuntu's position isn't based in reality, and

Hello there, lembas. I've just checked that description and there's the possibility that, although my error messages are about the radeon driver, the bug might be that the system is not properly killing all the processes at shutdown/reboot. And that, for that reason, it takes so much time

I noticed one other thing might be useful. If I open cheese to recover, the webcam works, the microphone does not. Audio and video together as if they could not coexist!? Again, if instead I do a simple sound recording the microphone is working perfectly. I do not understand! Thanks

Just a quick bump for this post. The reason I posted was because I thought this application would make a good addition to Trisquel. It'd be a good way of customising the OS and make support easier to access. For example, the home page on this application could come preconfigured with

There's no need to upgrade the kernel (and in fact it isn't recommended as it isn't supported by Trisquel's developers). Just upgrade Alsa modules as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules In short, open a terminal and type: sudo add-apt-repository
