[Trisquel-users] Can't connect to wifi networks

2014-07-09 Thread alberto . casado
Hello, I have problem. I haven't been able to connect to any wifi network for about two days. What I suspect is causing the problem is that about two or three days ago, I was trying to use a usb modem and made some modifications to the system. What I can remember is I installed havlet, and

Are you sure the network you're looking for is up? Can you connect to it using some other device? What's havlet? If it's proprietary software which we disapprove, don't link to it.

Oh good! I'm perfectly happy with that, and IIRC Linux Action Show described it as 'one of the best Gnome 3s we've seen.' YMMV.

Netinstall? I prefer debootstrapping :) Having said that I think it'd be great if Cinnamion is the default DE in Trisquel, just open up a new repository for trisquel (other than edition, edition-updates, and edition-security) and title it belenos-Cinnamon! As for hardware acceleration I

The GTK+ theme there was supposed to show Trisquel ('s current default theme) - Unfortunately it got covered in the screenshot by a menu. Oh, and the shot actually shows Trisquel Dagda.

I think the beauty is important too, because it can show to new people that a truly free system can be wonderful in a glance. Although is important to worry about desktop environments that require too much memory: many people outside Europe and North America still have computers from five

You can do software. I have an Nvidia card that works with free drivers and has 3D acceleration, so this isn't a problem: http://h-node.org/videocards/view/en/232/NVIDIA-Corporation-GF108--GeForce-GT-430---rev-a1-

Their new function (applets, panels, docks etc) would have to have it enabled/coded in. Gnome 3 had a special fundraiser annd year of accessibility. Accessibilty is one of Rubén's key factors when he decides. Support from ATI/AMD users with no hardware 3D is another. However, as I've

I still think Trisquel should use GNOME Shell by default and offer LXDE (Trisquel Mini) for those who want a lightweight system. The big reason GNOME is being used is accessibility, right? Wouldn't GNOME Shell be better for that? I guess it might be just knowing how to use it, but it seems

@onpon4 I think the main reason GNOME is still used is the accessibility. GNOME Shell's accessibility is much improved since version 3.4 (as in Trisquel6), so, Shell with llvm pipe, or something, for accelleration should, perhaps, be the new default. Shell is slow, especially with

I like the default desktop, at least after I've changed the background image to one matching my screen resolution. It's clear, clean and simple. I don't like Windows-like eye candy being added to cinnamon. It serves no useful purpose.

If you messed around with blacklisting drivers and things like that then its possible you disabled the driver. You might have done this if you were attempting to load a MS Windows driver via NDISWrapper for instance- or had some other conflict. There are also some other things you might
