Re: [Trisquel-users] what's the difference between 2.5 and 5 ghz for wifi?

2016-06-16 Thread danigaritarojas
Short answer is 5GHz is faster but has shorter range. 2.4GHz can reach farther and it's older so there's more devices out there that support 2.4GHz than 5GHz. The fact that there's more devices using 2.4GHz also mean that this frequency has more noise. Which could derive in bad signal

I've made progress, but problems don't end: I've done the whole process again, updating grub for good measure. it told me there was something wrong with the config: GRUB_TIMEOUT wasn't null (was at 10), which is not allowed anymore if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is defined. So I've put it back to 0.

It doesn't have to be intimidating and the new users, if they are intimidated, don't have to utilize the configurability. It can be set up to look and act just like gnome fallback. If you don't like it that way, then you can learn to set it up the way you want.

2016-06-16 Thread ewlabonte
You can make xfce look almost exactly like the traditional Trisquel Gnome desktop. It looks a lot better than fallback. The panel can actually handle transparency. The same is true of Mate, of course, but there are a few things that I can't get Mate to do that are easy in XFCE.

I guess my fear was that I would be condescended upon :) I'll give it a shot. I think its probably best for me to start by initiating my own project first. I think there is a thread somewhere in the forums about setting up your own code project page. I'll get on that.
