Did you also install rabbitvcs-nautilus - Nautilus extension for RabbitVCS?
Another thing, when I click on the icons near the clock they appear to open
a bigger window and then they show the correct window
I too see this and it does look like shit.
This community will not support the installation of proprietary
firmware-blobs.
Though the T500 has a slot that is MiniPCIe in form factor, it has been
crippled to only accept devices with PCI-ID's contained in a BIOS whitelist.
The cards sold which are white listed come with an additional
I don't own any USB sticks big enough or empty.
Anybody out there who can help?
Have you successfully booted from a CD before? Did you check the .iso hashsum
before burning it and did the burner verify it didn't mangle the burn?
Try burning the disk at the lowest speed.
Okay, I will try IxQuick.
The google results are under bias, they change according to you (your
computer, what you did before) ...
I found the lts-belenos equivalent to that one and it worked. Thank you! :)
The smaller USB N adapter doesn't stick out much and can be removed easily
and store in a more desirable way when travelling than the card you have now.
Yes. No. Yes
Did that too.
I'm curious about trying KDE, but I'm not sure it's worth trying if I can't
revert back to how it is now. How easy is it to remove KDE after you've
installed the triskel package?
Thank you for all the replies. I gave riseup.net a second look and went with
that. I noticed that in the mailing list that Fabian posted about they talk
a lot about making your own web server. Is there a guide in the wiki to do
this or anywhere else I could follow? If not and I figure
As far as I know just log in to a GNOME session and run sudo apt-get remove
triskel, and you're golden.
triskel is a meta-package. Removing it does not remove any actual program.
I agree that this is a feature I'd rather not have around.
I agree that there's no particular reason to trust Intel.
On the other hand, it's (maybe/probably) not designed with nefarious intent.
There's a pretty obvious answer to your why the hell would you do that!
question, and it's hinted
What about sudo apt-get autoremove?
Thanks, this is why I asked. I guess there's no way to backup the current
state of my computer and restore it later without hiccups?
Also, what is the difference between triskel and triskel-recommended?
Could you elaborate on this? I don't know anything about it.
The feature makes computers easier to administer in large numbers, without
having to physically send a tech to where the problem box lives.
This is called plausible deniability.

If not and I figure out how to do it could I add the information to the
wiki?
Yes, that's why it's there.
Here are the md5 hash sums
http://cdimage.trisquel.info/trisquel-images/md5sum.txt
compare the hash sum in that file with the one you get with
md5sum filename
(It will take a while to calculate it.)
In the event that you install a package with dependencies and then remove
that package, autoremove removes those redundant dependencies, automatically.
Awesome! Let's see if they were telling us the truth; please respond!
So would this allow for an easy removal of triskel or no?
You can replace your current wlan mini pcie card
(http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T500) with for example this one:

Hello,
I am new to working with free software in any detail, was a moderately
advanced computer user years ago (mainly on windows, also on macs), and am
rusty now.
I came across a give-away computer with Opensuse, and was motivated to read
up on gnu/linux distros again, after intending
From what Chris said about the whitelist/blacklist for mini pcie cards, I'm
not sure it will work. Thanks for the suggestion however.
I am not used to terminals and have no assistance from anyone I know IRL.
Trisquel uses Synaptic Package Manager to install new programs, libraries,
etc. It has an amazing GUI that looks great and is easy for anyone to use.
Because of this, for the most part, you do not need to know how to use
Thank you.
After a moment, I was able to find a tip online about the su command for
super user privileges. Anyway, here is the output:

Yes, there is a way to make a USB installation device. Use UNetBootIn
(available in OpenSUSE's repositories as I found with Google) to put the
image onto a flash drive which then works exactly like a CD.
By the way, I'm not sure you need to switch. The sole reason the FSF doesn't
endorse
How do I do that?
I don't think you understand what I am saying. They are putting out a product
which is useful (for enterprises). No doubts there. The problem part is that
the technology which powers it is designed such that it's hard to detect. Now
the enterprise code we can see doesn't hide the fact the
I don't think you understand. It's not the enterprise features that are most
concerning. It's most likely exactly what Intel is saying it is. The problem
is the technology appears to enable something similar but which is
clandestine. It may be that this feature even requires a BIOS update
OKay... is there a noob-friendly step-by-step guide somewhere (using
unetbootin)?
I have not gotten my bearings in opensuse yet, I don't even know how to run
an .exe on this system (such as the installer for unetbootin), and I still
want to go ahead and install trisquel as the OS on this
Here's a newbie-friendly page I wrote on using unetbootin for another
wiki; hope it helps!

cyinn, .exe is Windows, DOS, OS/2 executable file. In GNU system with Linux
kernel it doesn't works.
Try to find this software in OpenSUSE on YaST Software Manager.
Or you can download the Unetbootin binary from official website for GNU/Linux
systems.
If you're just looking to try out KDE, perhaps an easier way would be to
install it in a virtual machine. That way, you could just delete the VM when
you're done.
The command you ran will not tell us about your ASUS USB wireless adapter.
You would need to run a similar command though:
lsusb
That said it is probably not compatible. Wireless is a weak spot with
GNU/Linux and free software. The companies that design the chipsets are
mostly hostile to
Thanks everyone.
Dave, I get this message:
sudo: unbetbootin: command not found
Thanks Chris, for now I have no money to put towards my computer, but if that
proves to be the way to get wireless onto trisquel I'll get one of those when
I can.
Here is the output from the corrected command:

I happened to be using Open Suse when I wrote that page. Unetbootin
wasn't in the repos, as of 12.3; I got the binary from the unetbootin
sourceforge pages. There were a bunch of dependencies that were in the
repos, however. I apologize for any typos in that wiki; the whole thing

This thread has gone far beyond discussion of the new laptop model, I am
hereby moving it here.
(Discussion continued from comment #82 on this thread)
If Intel were so intent on spying on us, why do we have the 3630QM and the
4700MQ? Would the most efficient and logical approach approach not be simply
to put this technology into all of its processors? Instead they continue to
