I think you messed up your package manager badly.
A friend of mine did so some time ago and I managed to repair the system by
using the recovery mode; but it was ubuntu and not trisquel.
Nevertheless, trisquel certainly has something equal.
Before you do this, you can try
apt-get install -f
I suggest you remove xfce ppa and remove all packages installed from it, so
you can fix things more easily. You can use synaptic for this, as it can
filter packages by source.
Another alternative is to use command line tool aptitude, which can suggest
actions related to errors and execute

You could use Xdotool:

or joy2key:

Or qjoypad:

I remember that I had good success with joy2key,
Hi ahj,
With this laptop were you able to change your login details (username and
password. Mr Rowe sent me this link explaining how to do it but I've been
unsuccessful. He also stated that there is no root account in Trisquel (by
default at least). This confused me. Is that really the
It certainly should be possible independent of the hardware, not that I've
ever done it. There is a root account but you can't login as root, the
password is disabled. That link talks about lightdm which ubuntu uses but
Trisquel uses gdm3, so the step 2 won't work.
I believe there is no
Would it be better to contact Apertium?
I came across an advert by chance on the gNewSense site and ordered one
before I even saw this thread. I am very grateful for all the helpful
information that has been posted here.
I am already able to build my own desktop, which is free except for the
firmware, but a laptop was still
What is a userspace driver? Also, have you published the drivers anywhere for
others to use?
Hello? Anyone there? :)
gNewSense will be my safe haven of last resort, but I'm not tech-savvy enough
yet to be able to use it as my main distro, and I don't want my email address
visible on the mailing list (because of spam etc.) It didn't have a forum
when I last visited either, so Trisquel is my current distro
Probably yes at this point since nobody seems to know here.
A userspace driver is one that runs in user space rather than kernel space
and has to be compiled as a loadable module of the kernel. The userspace
driver is much easier to develop and will not crash the kernel, but I want to
be able to write kernel drivers for one or two reasons. I need to
Well, even an instant public domain dedication is challenging in many

Hey guys,
does anyone of you know about a piece of (free) software I can install on my
server so all my friends can talk to me by just visiting the website of the
server?
I think I could persuade a lot of my friends to type this adress, log in and
talk to me. Making them install some
why not hosting an IIRC server yourself ?
Do you know of any free web frontends for irc? I don't want my friends to
install any software or use a third party service.
And I'm more interested in telephony.
This looks interesting (http://sipml5.org/), and it's under a free license.
Well, in fact we do... HTML5 is a player that can load any video, Tor Browser
supports it very well. The problem is the video format/codec. Most websites
use mp4 and flv. Firefox (and Tor Browser of course) don't have those
patented codecs. Only can play webm and ogg. That's why MediaGobblin
Confirming that the United States' spy agencies do use hardware that

article denouncing some of this capabilities.
Please help improve our function-key-alternatives page:

It's in the Trisquel repos; Trisquel only supports free software, so I
assumed it's free. But it's probably best to look try and check
indepednently. I found the official site and the wikipedia page:

I guess you need to set up an Apache server plus IRC server. Then you will
need to install a webchat client like this:

Although webchat2 seems to have it's own backend. So an IRC server might not
be mandatory.
It's been an eventful day.
I backed up my home folder (which contains gigabytes of data due to my
involvement with the Replicant project) and reinstalled the system. I used
text mode, but this booted into a textual environment, and even after
installing XFCE nothing worked.
So I
I tried the command you gave me in a separate Trisquel installation, and it
gave me the source files I wanted (I had to install dpkg-dev first.) Then I
copied the folder to /usr/src with root privileges, and everything looks fine
now. I think I can take it from there. Thank you very much for
Thank you for writing free software!
