You can't be serious on your last link.
This woman is probably the most annoying interiewer I encountered so far
during the last year.
Thank you all for your comments. Unfortunately, rova is right. Without the
ethernet firmware, I have no possibility to connect to the internet and hence
can't use apt for anything.
Downloading the .deb package manually and installing it on the new system
seems extremly risky to me, since I

wireless features that do not work? What are the normal problems when it

Thank you for sharing this.
I'm glad that you succeeded un the replacement because one is sick of all
those restriccions.
I would appreciate it. Can't install trisquel at the moment because my
ethernet won't work.
The apt-offline package should come handy.
I didn't realise there were so many types! Thanks for the link.
You're welcome. Actually even that's a small subset. Having all these
licenses is a huge problem.

With Abrowser, how do I get to view Adobe Flash animations? Is there a plugin
I can use or any free alternatives I can download?
Gnash.
Indeed, the US tends to fight for the same group they are trying to
stop. Another to example is Syria, which erupted a religious war
between the Sunni groups (including AlQaeda), and the shii'a groups
(Hezbollah) and the government.
I find some of the points you make interesting while, to be
How do I install Gnash?
Actually, there's a tool specifically for this kind of job called
apt-offline. There's a post about it from Magic Banana here:

It's installed by default on Trisquel 6 -- which I think is a mistake (and it
looks like Trisquel 7 is going to fix that mistake), but anyway, if you're
just seeing a black box after clicking the click to play button, the SWF
file is incompatible with Gnash. Gnash's Flash support is pretty
That's the problem I have. After I click to play, nothing happens. So, are
there any alternatives to Gnash that you can recommend?
Updating Trisquel's kernel to the latest version is easy:

During boot, I get the following message:

Also, try turning off Gnash; HTML5-based fallback is pretty common for video
players.
Installed Lightspark. Do I have to do something else to make it work? I still
can't see the animation.
How do I turn it off?
Last resort: try uninstalling both of them and hope that there is a html5
fallback. Very likely there isn't.
Normally, flash animations can't be displayed with free software in practice.
Neither gnash nor lightspark worked for me any time tried (and I tried them
alot).
Sorry, that's how it
Go to menu-Add-ons and go to Plugins. Next to Shockwave Flash, change it
from Always activate to Never activate.
That is a good alternative but I cant find a replacement keyboard for my
language.
As an almost-last resort, disable Gnash and Lightspark, and install
YouTube All HTML5 (to install it, in Abrowser, go to the add-ons menu,
go to Add, and below Search add-ons, type youtube all html5).
As a real last resort, go to the page of the desired video and replace
watch?v= with embed/.
You're welcome.
And, just to be clear...
The Arab Spring phenomenon, as I said, was started by the West. But, that
doesn't necessarily mean that the West had its hands behind *every one* of
the different uprisings.
Being the best example of one that was not planned by Western interests
I think he refers to some kind of flash animation and not video.
For videos there are many other possibilities like viewtube or linterna
magica, but not for animations.
Great, with this information I made a wiki page. Please, check it and correct
it or add something to it :D

I guessed that apt-offline would somehow grab the desired package with all
its dependencies on the system *with* internet so they can get transfered to
the offline system, but after reading the wiki page I think I'm wrong?
So I copy apt-offline to the offline system? But if the dependencies
You have apt-offline on both the offline system and an online system. You
generate a key from the offline system, transfer that over to the online
system, and then use that with apt-offline on the online system to grab the
packages you need. Then you take those packages back to the offline
Yeah, but how can he download the latest kernel if he cannot get online? If a
newer kernel was installed by default on a newer ISO, he wouldn't have this
problem.
Of course the alternative is to grab the Ubuntu 12.04.4 ISO with the newer
stack, but the crowd here won't like you for it.
You can try downloading the kernel, then put it on a USB memory stick or a
CD.
