This kind of problems are fairly nasty as I believe they lead to chicken and
egg kind of situations: if the update manager is broken, no update can fix it
as those can't be installed.

The fixes reported on this thread work once but then you always have to do it
that way because the Update Manager has never gone back to normal for me.
If I start the Update Manager, I get the same screen boaz was showing above.
As far as I remember, GRUB lists all installed kernels. On Trisquel, the menu
is hidden by default and the first (and normally most recent) kernel is
booted. That is unless the system was not properly shutdown.
To always see the menu, you must change, in /etc/default/grub (with, e.g.,

I'm a new user and just wanted to say hello to the forum members.
I installed Trisquel a couple of days ago and my distro-hopping is now over.
Finally, I've found a place, where forum members say GNU/Linux instead of
linux, Free and/or Libre Software instead of open source and where people
But they're not just limiting their own freedom, they're limiting everyone
elses too. They are saying, effectively, it's OK to publish proprietary

Yes to all.

It is.

ostensibly move to freedom, e.g. by paying their owners. It just didn't work

Hi!
And Welcome!
To clarify, I don't think slavery is in general similar to proprietary
software. I just think some aspects of it are comparable.
Have you got the build-essential package installed?

You're mixing up things. Offering choices is not the same as using the whip,
i.e. actively holding somebody back.
You describe a slave owner, telling his slave:
you are free to go, but then I won't give you food
welcome!!
I think you misunderstood my mention of whipping. I didn't say that it was in
any way connected to leaving, and I didn't mean to imply that either.
Whipping is sometimes a BDSM activity that people choose to partake in.
Slaves don't have a choice in the matter; if their owner decides to whip
That documentation refers to release 6, beta 6. Older versions have

Do you think it would just be easier to use release 6? I forgot to mention
that I was trying to use release 5. No, I don't have any recovery tools. What
should I be using for that?
I'm not sure what you mean here. LibreOffice wasn't offered by Microsoft as
an alternative. Microsoft only developed Microsoft Office.
No, you got me wrong. I argued that proprietary software resembles D/s more
than slavery because - instead of real slavery - it doesn't prevent people

Just a question :
Are there ethical arguments that justify to use proprietary softwares rather
than free softwares ?
No, I don't know what that is.
For some reasons, it looks like the linker is searching for the versions 1.53
of those libraries.
Do *you* have a problem with Update Manager or do you only want to rant?
SVTony had a problem but it is not like everybody had. And if you would look
at the forums of essentially any distribution, you would find some users
having such problems.
I do not think that using proprietary software (with no interaction with
other user) is unethical. Developing such software definitely is. It however
is sad that users of proprietary software do not seem to value their own
freedoms.
Welcome and take a look around, this place is fairly active which is always
nice. And don't worry people using open source and Linux would get a kind
reminder about what the terminology means - not that I have seen it.
About the closest I can think of is the use of LGPL in software, where as
Free software can be distributed simply as a binary in a proprietary program.
Even then this is merely a compromise because the additional software isn't

The big issue is that the only distinction between
I have also experienced this issue for some updates in the past month or so,
and have had to use apt-get dist-upgrade from the terminal and reboot when it
happens.
Have better things to do with my time then rant. Yes *I* do have this same
problem. I also have that freedom to state my option. Again this is very
irritating.
It's just someone choosing to submit to someone else and taking on
the title slave. Because it's not actual slavery, you can back out
and otherwise assert your right to freedom.
proprietary software fits perfectly to this description. You _can_

Welcome to the Trisquel community.
That's not slavery at all. It sounds to me like dependence on a commune. The
problem with that comparison, though, is proprietary software creates
dependence; dependence on a commune for food is caused by nature, not people,
so a question of ethics isn't raised. The difficulties of escaping

That's not the only issue. Boost compiled for different platforms has
different names. This project's makefile or whatever is trying to link to the

be fine.

I'm not ignoring the trend, which is obvious. My point is these things
It's a collection of thing you need for building things, you should install
it if you're going to compile stuff.
I suppose this is so people can run a free version based on Slackware without
the far more difficult route of a proper fork. As Rubén can attest, there
is a lot of work completely freeing a distro. For example, I doubt all
references to non-free software are removed from the packages of
