I created a file named /etc/wsconsctl.conf and added a line:
display.brightness=50
and now the screen is set to 50 % luminosity at boot. The system actually
prints the setting on the screen when booting, so it's comforting to see that
it works.
wsconsctl display.brightness

I couldn't find it in the ports or pkg_add. I did try.
There is also package xbindkeys-config - an easy to use gtk program for
configuring Xbindkeys.
There is always the possibility to go with an internal adapter but if your
machine has a wifi whitelist it might not be possible.
I installed xbindkeys and edited /home/user/.xbindkeysrc.
To create a default condfiguration file, type:
xbindkeys --default > /home/user/.xbindkeysrc

I have had that problem, let me know if you figure out how to do that. :)
Here it is. I tried before and had a hard time.
I'm on this webpage: https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_cbfs.html, and
trying to follow these instructions:
Acquiring the correct ROM image
You can either work directly with one of the ROM images already included in
the libreboot ROM archives, or re-use the ROM that you have currently
Yeah, /boot is inaccessible if you encrypt it so it defaults back to the
onboard grub.cfg which doesn't let you boot without all the commands.
Do I really need all these?
I didn't read enough about partitioning, but it seems a separated boot
partition is only interesting if running several OS. Not sure about the root
partition though.
Anyway, I tried an assisted, minimal install from the full iso (which is
different from a real
I think that the don't reflash part only applies if you didn't go with full
disk encryption. I could be wrong though.
Yes, I would consider the grub files on the disk irrelevant.
OK, I see, I was hoping the 1st option ("don't reflash") would do it, but now
I see better how things work. So I guess the grub files on the disk are
pretty much irrelevant then?
Thanks for the welcome!
Yes, that's what I followed. Unfortunately, this part is the one that's
giving me trouble:
Modify grub.cfg (CBFS)
Now you need to set it up so that the system will automatically boot, without
having to type a bunch of commands.
Modify your grub.cfg (in the
What SuperTramp83 said.
Libreboot doesn't read grub from the disk. Grub is inside libreboot. So you
need to modify your grub.cfg inside libreboot using the cbfstool. It's
easiest to flash new modified roms from inside trisquel. I'm assuming you
flashed the x200 yourself, so you don't need

I have used TestDisk to recover files on an SD card, actually.
I had an Android phone and I did rm -rf / for fun, but it deleted /sdcard1
which was where the SD card was mounted.
TestDisk is really good and easy to use.
I just installed Trisquel on a Librebooted X200, using full disk encryption.
After a couple of false starts, I now have it to where I can boot the system
using the following commands at the GRUB command line:
grub> cryptomount -a
grub> set root='lvm/[volume]-root'
grub> linux /vmlinuz

Hi all
The French dream team ;-)
Is actually testing a Framavox loomio Trisquel_fr instance to diversify ways
of communicating between ourselves and make proposals and coordinate work on
the documentation & other subjects along with Etherpads

A. You can use keyboard special keys by default. Both of my laptops' volume
and brightness keys work by default-- something that doesn't even happen on
Parabola. :p
B. Yea, if you install GNOME, KDE, Xfce, or another DE you can manage volume
and brightness with the GUI.
C. Don't think so. I
Where is the screenshot?
I'm not aware of any GUI package managers. There's no Synaptic or appstore in
the default install. You use 'pkg_add' and 'pkg_delete' to add or remove
prebuilt binaries, and 'make install' from the ports tree to build from
source.
To control the sound hardware, you use 'mixerctl'. If you
I know there was a previous posting on this subject. But I was wondering what
the most recent plans are, since Trisquel 8 must be in development by now. My
personal preference is XFCE4 because it can be used without compositing and
is in active development and more configurable than Gnome
Thanks for even more goodies :)
One question, all of those things you mention doing on the terminal (stuff
like adjusting sound, brightness, etc) can they be done either:
a. using keyboard special keys for that (not shortcuts, the keys specific for
those actions);
b. in a graphical way
ddrescue is too low level. TestDisk recovers partitions, not files. PhotoRec
is appropriate. It started as a tool to recover deleted pictures but it was
greatly extended and can now recover many different types of files. That
said, the file hierarchy and the file names are lost. I am not
It's been great fun. I swapped the hard disk in my laptop (HP) for the disk
that had win 10 setup on it, wiped it, and installed libertyBSD on it. Things
went smoothly. It just works.
To change/dim by half the screen brightness in terminal, type:
wsconsctl display.brightness=50
