Thanks. I wonder what that message meant then?
By the way, the command you gave me is slightly different from the one in
text you linked to. Is there a good reason/explanation for that?

No I didn't use a password to protect grub usb-boot option. I would have no
idea how to do that even. I may try another usb stick to see if that works
along with using another method. Do you think that the usb being a Sandisk
brand rather than say a ThinkPenguin usb could be the problem?
can you stream content with owncloud?
The following command returns the number of processors which are currently
online (i.e., available):

Can you boot a previous version of Trisquel's kernel from the "Advanced
options" of GRUB's menu (you may have to press a key, shift maybe?, to be
displayed this menu right after the computer powers on)? The user and
password you will be asked to enter are (unencrypted, if I properly

I don't know the answer to your question but just by replying hopefully
someone will see that you need some help. ;)
I really think that would be a bad idea. I could understand the reverse

Hello everybody,
disclaimer first: I dont have any business toying with such voodoo magic like
encrypted file systems. Yet, I did.
I love Trisquel, and when making a fresh install of my favorite libre distro,
I chose encryption option. Not sure if only home folder or whole file system,
Hi strypey. I sent a mail to the developer. If I receive an answer I will
update you.
Half Life is wow.. I will never forget when it came out, the game blew my
mind. I think I finished it 20 times. I know it by heart, each texture, each
sound, and still I want to play it again and again.
It was in fact cognitive dissonance of mine. Sorry I was wrong, you are
right. Sorry, I got it know!
It worked now. Updating kernel + Installing xfce power manager (turns out it
won't come installed as default). I'm working on the audio controllers now.
Did you protect grub usb-boot option with a password?
If that's the case, and if you're not able to correctly put the password in,
then there's only one chance, and it's to reflash libreboot and its grub
payload the hardware way..
If you didn't, then you should be able to boot from usb.

Cinnamon is packaged in Trisquel 8.0. Can I install it on Trisquel 7.0 from

what company is the device and what model might help to answer if you can do
something about it or not...
It is an error related to the EC firmware within libreboot.
yeah... I understand if you avoid those two.
personally, I have very little trust for amazon myself.
I changed to XFCE, might give it try,since I see you frequently talking about
it so good, right? Unfortunately, bright controllers and audio controller

So far I tried only LXDE and XFCE. None of them worked. This might suggest it

Use 'ssh -X'. It can be too slow though.

Thanks for your advise, but I will absolutely try to avoid those two.
by the way, is x200 the only libreboot device that leaks battery life when it
isn't on?
I haven't heard about that. What does it mean?
You could buy one on lenovo, amazon,
or you can do a search via duckduckgo/searx
regardless, I understand if you hate the idea of buying from amazon or
lenovo.
but do what you think is going to be best for you and your conscience.

I bought a new laptop. On debian 8 64bit brightness controls worked. On

Thanks for doing this. This is all useful information. The main thing missing
from libre systems that we need for GOLD is at the UX level. I haven't had a

I suggest you have a close look at the way "commercial use" is defined in
version 4.0 of the CC licenses. It is a very narrow, very specific
definition. For example, an ad-supported search site where torrent files or
magnet links can be found to download works under an NC clause does *not*
If those commenting here are really keen to understand the ins and outs of CC
licensing, I highly recommend getting involved in the community consultation
for the next version of the licenses. These involve users of CC licenses from
different communities based on artistic, governmental, GLAM

they have a FAQ somewhere? I've heard great things about HalfLife and I'd

Give Zotero some time. My fiancee used it while writing her Phd thesis.
Although she was quite new to free code software at the time, she found it
superior to EndNote, which is what she used before. She paid the very

Well, I haven't used LXDE a lot but I can confirm I did not have the issue
which is affecting OP with it. Must be specific hardware related.
A DE that is as lightweight but more 'complete' is Xfce. You can install it
very easily on Trisquel.
(And here I go again advertising Xfce, heh)

I say this because none of my computers have had this problem.

It's certainly possible to make them work. Unforunately, in cutting back on
the excesses of the major DEs, LXDE has thrown the metaphorical baby out with
the metaphorical bathwater- implementing that functionality is left to the
user.
In terms of the actual process of doing that, there's
