The OP is new Trisquel, so I understood, and he asked for a package manager.
In most modern distros, Synaptic is not installed by default. Trisquel has it
buried in the control panel in Menu --> System Settings.
There are many other options to install software. One can use aptitude, apt
or
"where I can hook up an actual phone and receive and send calls."
So what you want is something called an Analog telephone adapter:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_telephone_adapter and then use a program
like Asterisk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk_%28PBX%29) - which is

Yes, that is better advice if I were suggesting synaptic (which I was).
However, I think add/remove programs is more user friendly. It is easier to
find and easier to use.
For myself I always try to use apt first. I run synaptic from a terminal when

Which is better for privacy when making calls from home:
1.) Mobile phone with Replicant.
2.) Landline phone with Verizon.
3.) VOIP phone with Comcast
My guess is that number 1 is at least as good as the others.
So ultimately my improvement in my phone use is that I will avoid non-free
Synaptic is in the System Settings control window. Open System Settings from
the Trisquel menu.
"Is there a package manager that comes with Trisquel?"
1.) Click the Trisquel symbol in the bottom left and choose "add/remove
applications"
2.) In the top right there is a search box. Type "envy" and hit ENTER.
One package called Mudita24 should come up and you can install it.
hmmm... "No ICE1712 cards found"
The card that appears in the audio mixer is:
VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller Analog Stereo
(PulseAudio Mixer)
From what I can tell, I don't have synaptic or any other package manager. Is
there a package manager that comes with Trisquel?
Thanks

I also have the issue. I'll try the downgrade trick.

I'm not an expert in hashing functions, but it's my understanding that an md5
function returning different values on the same data is just about always due
to a hardware malfunction. Thus Magic Banana is insistent on doing the tests
on your disk (and you were right to run a memory check).
De gustibus non est disputandum, but it is without any doubt the worst thing
I've ever seen on a screen :)
Jitsi has done me well for a few years. The repo version is buggy, but if you
install the newest stable .deb it works fine.
GNU Bash and GNU sed are in Trisquel by default. The version of AWK that
comes by default should be OK. Unless the AWK program in the script uses GNU
extensions. If so, the script would return an error that starts with "awk:",
you would have to install 'gawk' (in Trisquel's repository) and
Simplifying, if there is one single disk in the system:
$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda
$ sudo update-grub
Again, self-test the disk:

I installed the mini version of Trisquel and then Xfce4, my preferred

I really don't have anything against Unity or its users. I simply am not one
of them. I'm sure if I used it for a couple of weeks, it'd grow on me. My
initial reaction to Gnome 3's shell was one of repulsion, but I ran it for a
month or two and almost came to like it -- or at least got used
I really like Unity, even though everyone hates on it. The version in
Trisquel 8 should be much better as it is leaner on resources and has the
online services disabled by default.
I installed unity just installing the regular unity packages, without
following those instructions in the link. Although I did that after
installing standard Trisquel, as suggested above.

To be honest, I think I prefer the weird patterns to these corporate logos.
They feel a bit uninspired, the exception being the dolphin for MySQL (which
is merely cute).
Thanks, I have sent you an email to discuss how I can purchase the game.
I would like to support your video game. It looks fun.
If still not working, you could try GNOME Shell, they are similar in some
ways.

As disappointing as it would be, I have to admit, it would be insanely funny
if you submitted the only 5 entries and won the entire $100 by default.
There should be a Libre alternative to the site

users.
I use https://translate.g00gl3.*/ to translate. Could you recommend something
similar?

Actually, between all these non-free systems you used so far, I
recommend that you make Trisquel's GRUB the default.
To do so, boot Trisquel, and do:
df --output="source,target"
This'll give you a list, and when using Trisquel, the "/" mount-point
("Mounted as") must be something like
Solaris wavy line backdrop. This is from a Wikimedia Commons screenshot.
Hello.. I want to change to trisquel from ubuntu and I wonder about unity.
I saw that there are ways to install unity together with the default UI, but
i was trying for some days to (on a virtual machine) install trisquel without
any UI and then install unity. what happens after install is
It had to be changed there because, just as "update-grub" gave you the
expected results only in Ubuntu, it means that Ubuntu's GRUB is in
effect.
This means that you must keep Ubuntu in your computer, otherwise it
won't boot. Unless: You ask another system to install it's own GRUB on

You could try keepassx (sudo apt-get install keepassx).
You can add a configuration in the comments section and set it to auto-type
for you. For websites with a login auto type of login can also be configured.
In your case, since you only need to input the password you would type:
So, after hours of work the SMART-Test successfully runs. It detected no

Thanks for that, I got it working, though the grub file had to be changed in

My setup worked like that with three entries. Windows was installed first,
then Trisquel. Changing '0' to '2' made Win start first by default.
I wonder if this works.

Thank you Magic Banana, I didn't expect it to be so easy.
Would you know how to make Trisquel the default in the GRUB menu?
Also Trisquel currently narrates everything I do with a synthesized voice how
do I turn it off. :/
Hello,
Thanks for your replys.
@pragmatist: yes, i regular do a dist-upgrage on my system

GNU/Linux instead of only linux). But i sadly find
Of course they are better. A Retina display is overwhelmingly good to look
at. I'm not saying screens shouldn't be sharp. The same way a good soft couch
is eaiser to sit at than a hard surface. I just don't need that bling.
I'm pretty sure it already is installed by default. However, it can only be
used if the graphics card is supported. That excludes Maxwell- and (soon)
Pascal-series NVIDIA graphics cards.
What desktop environment do you use (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, …)?

I disagree with this. There's a reason the industry is pushing for high-DPI
monitors: pixelated fonts are just ugly and harder to read than crisp,
anti-aliased fonts.
