Thanks to kpengboy GustavoCM there is now a fix. You can fairly easily
apply it yourself. See https://trisquel.info/en/issues/12270#comment-56900
First try running those from the terminal to see if you get an error message.
(You could hold the shift key during reboot to get into the GRUB menu where
you can choose which kernel to boot.
And if you really want you can uninstall the new kernel if it's indeed to
blame.)
From your first quotation I wasn't the only one to be misled by your
tone.
Agreed. ISTR from around 2013 Trisquel was then 7 or 8 years old. If
it's that old and the actively contributing community is small then
you've got to figure that the 'build a community' mode of some [often
successful]
How do I uninstall the kernel?
Seems like the kernel indeed is the culprit. See the terminal reports.

Oi!
I'm wondering if my wifi driver will have support on 7. Also, if there is
soemething I can do for my wifi driver to work with Trisquel/Free Software,
what is it? Thanks!
Here's my driver:

Read the documentation and you will find most software is actually in the
reps. You can install in trisquel and use it. Same goes for TAILS, you don't
need to
Hello.
I have a computer in which I will install either Trisquel or Debian (probably
Debian, but still considering) and I want to use full disk encryption.
Problem is, I have the need to share this computer with a person who knows
very very little about computers, just the basic stuff. So,
What would be the use in two passwords that do the same thing? If one
password is compromised, the whole system is compromised.
I'd assume that I'll buy on line. If so, where's the best place to get one or
some from? May it be hacking on free software, programming, etc.
You could do this:
1) partition the disk into three: a) grub-partition, b) your partition, c)
his/her partition
2) first set the grub-partition as the one to boot from
3) install your system on your patition using LUKS and LVM or any other way
you want to use with encryption
3a) configure
Thanks! Didn't find those back when I was looking for a solution.
http://shop.fsf.org has some good stuff.
It's not drivers that are the problem. It's the firmware. This is a common
misconception that it's all about drivers. :) Unless someone makes a free
firmware for it (and I don't think anyone's working on such a project but I'd
love to be wrong) the status isn't changing any time soon.
Probably the nicest way is to use the Synaptic package manager. Search for
linux-image among the installed packages.
Let's not link non-free stuff, mmk?
There is http://flossmanuals.net
Maybe the FSF could setup a crowdfunding effort to write free firmware for
various devices. This could be interfaced with h-node. This way people could
easily chip in to free software development. And firmware hackers would get
employed.
I guess the feasibility of such a scheme depends on

Thanks guys! I'm with free firmware writers to get employed to write free
firmware. Hopefully 7 supports already has free firmware for my wifi driver.
Thanks guys! :)
There are no changes in what free firmware is included in Trisquel 7.
There are two ways to replace firmware: reverse engineer it and write an
independent free replacement, or convince the vendor to release its
source under a free license (needs a business argument like a large
order if the
I upgraded to a Lenovo X60t (with coreboot and L7400 Core 2 Duo CPU),
it's much faster.
Loongson 3 computers use AMD GPUs which need nonfree software. Graphics
is slow even with the GPU driver using the nonfree firmware. Support in
FSF-endorsed distros is mostly dead, mainline kernel support is
As you can read in one comment I made above, I was only suggesting to read
the documentation, in order to use the FREE SOFTWARE that is used in those
distros. Most of it you can get in the reps. I also told NOT to use the
distros because they are non-free. So, it's not like I am linking to

How do I know which kernel I'm using at the moment? What terminal

Thanks for the info! I don't know where to start on asking the vendors for
them to release the source code. I'd gladly help to those who would be
willing help me ask the vendor for source code.
I haven't removed or done anything with kernels yet since you told me about
using Synaptic, just so I don't mess up my system. I'm waiting for your
advise, as well as others' too.
Crap I really need to have my kernel fixed! Seems like my system would be
acting like Windows soon, hanging and shit.
uname -r
Remember that even the Linux kernel had to be modified by GNU people to be
considered entirely free, even though it's GPL.
Does Lemote have any relation to Imagination Technologies? I'm asking in
relation to Legimet's post here:

I got my ThinkPenguin USB/Wifi card. Now I'm up and running on Trisquel Mini!
Its looking very good. Running like a top. You will no doubt here from me if
I run into trouble, but so far I'm extremely pleased.
Thanks for all the help.
