I'm the same way generally speaking. I'm not adverse to changes being made.
There are worthwhile changes. However more often than not the change we see
is change for the sake of change and there is a loss of functionality that
makes things more difficult. Stripping down the number of options
IRC is probably best to reach him. His inbox is overflowing.
It's a good idea to always use gksudo to run graphical programs to avoid

True rolling release models are great for hobbyists, hackers and the average
consumer. But it's nowhere near predictable and stable enough for business or
related uses. I'm also old-fashioned, and like my stable, predictable
releases. I'd rather wait an extra month or two for stability over f
I want to say update the kernel and that will probably fix your problem:

I dropped him an email earlier today. I'm hoping that he will reply on the
weekend. I am also checking on IRC most days.
We really need Rubén to attend the meetings. He is the one who can
administer any changes, answer questions, etc.
I can't really take much credit, at least, only part of it. There are a
number of people working on making this happen. The original author of AR9170
driver for instance, and a few outside developers. We are doing some testing
and "pushing it" a bit. I did more of the work on the business end
This could be a good thing if it forced Trisquel to move to putting out LTS
based releases only. Moving to base Trisquel off LTS releases and updating a
handful of individual packages (so a sort of partial rolling release) would
be ideal I think.
Users would get updates to critical pieces l
I think I read somewhere or on the Linux Action Show that Fedora was also
considering a rolling release model.
Don't forget to run "fc-cache -fv" or "sudo fc-cache -fv" (if not running as
su) in terminal after you copy over the fonts to update the font cache and
make the fonts permanent.
As stated earlier, the typical font folders are in /usr/share/fonts or the
./fonts directory (hidden in your HOME

Just speculation at the moment, but Canonical is considering only producing
LTS releases, with more package updates within that release. This could be

I still see 3.6.1 as my latest packages for Precise and sorting the main PPA

I usually do this when I want to use a new font:
Open Synaptic and search for the font. Maybe it's already packed for easy
installation from the repositories.
If the font is not available from Synaptic, I download it from the Web.

If you wanted a more recent version of LibreOffice in Trisquel, you could use
a backport PPA. For example, this one:
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-3-6
I believe it's created by The Document Foundation and is free software.
Running gksudo nautilus in terminal or ALT+F2 will open nautlius with root
privileges. Then you can access /home/USERNAME/Desktop and copy/paste the
files to /usr/share/fonts. But I'm not sure if there are any security
implications of doing this.

For most packaging, Trisquel 6.0 = Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
For a more detailed answer about this, see:

The su command only works for the terminal session. What you probably want to
do is launch a program, probably the file manager. If you're on GNOME, the
file manager is Nautilus, so you want to use "sudo nautilus". If you're on
LXDE (Trisquel Mini), the file manager is PCManFM, so you want to

Ubuntu 12.04, the Ubuntu version which Trisquel is based on, includes
LibreOffice 3.5.4 with security updates by default:

Hi,
what version of e17 are you using? E17 stable has been recently
released. You may want to upgrade your installation. I know that a PPA
with deb packages exists, but I can't remember the link right now,
sorry.
Also, can you try and execute Synaptic in a terminal and post the ouput?
Thanks.

I have a problem with Synaptic running in e 17, cannot launch it. Anybody
got any ideas ?
You can find a USB WiFi adapter which will work at libre.thinkpenguin.com. It
costs only $44 and supports Trisquel development as well (if you buy from
Think Penguin when you access it from libre.thinkpenguin.com, 25% of the
profits go to Trisquel).

On the contrary. Trisquel needs helping hands, like yours.

Hopefully the 29th will be okay.
