You are not wrong: apt-offline grabs everything you need to install whatever you want. The only package you have to manually download and install (with 'dpkg -i' or with a double-click on the .deb package if GDebi was previously installed) is apt-offline itself. As lembas wrote, it

You may find (elsewhere) keyboard stickers to be glued on the actual keys so that you see the layout of your choice. As you probably already know, this layout is to be added (with the + button) from the Layout tab of the System Parameters/Keyboard layout utility.

If you have not tried it yet, install more recent version of the kernel (version 3.11) and of the graphical stack: $ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-saucy xserver-xorg-lts-saucy You may not like the --install-recommends option. If so, independently install

That's right. What I mean is adobe flash animation rather than video. I guess I'll just have to wait until someone creates a good plugin...or maybe things will be better when Trisquel 7 comes out.

HTML5 doesn't have digital restriction mechanisms built into it yet (and there's a campaign by the FSF to stop the inclusion of digital restriction mechanisms into the HTML5 standard), so no, it won't. The advantage of HTML5 is obvious: it's an open standard, and it doesn't require

Of course they are! Python is a basic component of GNU/Linux systems these days; all kinds of software is written in Python. The only one in Ubuntu systems I know by name is IBus, but I'm sure there are several others; I know that Fedora's installer, Anaconda, is written in Python (or at

Ah, games are less likely to work than movies. They tend to rely on a lot more ActionScript. Note, though, that these games include proprietary software in the form of ActionScript code, so they're not a good choice even if you have a compatible free plugin. The same goes for HTML5-based

Thank you both. After upgrading the kernel, nothing really changed. I then installed debian wheezy and still have the allocation error, but my mouse isn't lagging anymore. I don't have any clue why this is the case. Maybe wheezy is using an *older* kernel version and some kind of bug appears

Heh, looks like you're right. Trying to uninstall python2.7 informs me half of the system would go right along with it. Thus apt-offline should be a good solution. (probably obvious to many people, now I too am convinced :)

Yes. And the increase amount of RAM consumption after the Backup is because it is caching the necessary data in RAM to speed up the process if it get started again. That's because of policies of memory and cache (memory) management.
