WHAT IS THE LIBRARY FREEDOM PROJECT?
https://libraryfreedomproject.org/
Sometimes the touchpad comes in handy, at other times it is annoying (e.g.
when touching my mistake). So, I was wondering if it is possible to make a
touchpad on/off shortcut and found this:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of either solution, i.e. partition
vs file?
For some reason it was not activated. This is the first time I have
experienced swap not being active after a fresh install.
Actually. when I open Gparted the partition was there but indicated with
black (and a warning triangle, if I remember correctly).
I deleted that partition and created
It will work, but only if you install xfce desktop environment. This option
is specific to xfce.
Once you have the correct DE, there is nothing complicated, you'll have a
nice button.
Thanks.
Do you know what it would take to make it work with Cinnamon?
Oh ! I made a mistake : desactivating touchscreen is specific to xfce (though
some recent DE like cinnamon may offer this option too).
Desactivating the touchpad should be easy to do on every DE. Some people use

Dunno sorry. Maybe in your keyboard parameters, there must be an option as
described in your tuto for xfce.
Got it, thanks
It works
None in terms of performance. We could say that it is easier to make and
share (between systems) a swap partition as long as you have free disk space
(typically before an install), whereas it is easier to make a swap file as an
afterthought. Also it is easier to change the size of a swap fi
After restarting the computer the swap is again not active!
What will I have to do to make it permanently active?
You can first try to manually activate your swap partition (here assuming it
is /dev/sda1: adapt the command to your case; 'lsblk' helps to know what is
your swap partition):
$ sudo swapon /dev/sda1
If it works ('sudo swapon -s' shows it), you can run this command (again,
modify the partiti
My swap is on sda2. I ran your first command and when checking swap was on.
Then I ran your second command and restarted. Swap is not on!?
This is really weird. I mean, I am by no means either a savvy, a techie or
anything, but I have installed GNU/linux a lot of times (to some extend

I do not know. Is it enabled when you execute 'sudo swapon -a'?
Show us the outputs of these commands:
$ lsblk
$ grep swap /etc/fstab
$ swapon -s
sudo swapon -a
gives me
swapon: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: stat failed: No such file or directory
swapon: /dev/sda1: read swap header failed: Invalid argument
Did I mention that I only encrypted /home?
The rest of your commands return:
gnubahn@libreT400s:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE
You wrote /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab. Also you (used to?)
have your swap encrypted what does not allow (at least not naturally)
hibernation. Edit /etc/fstab to remove the line "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none
swap sw 0 0" and to turn "/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0" into "/d
I can confirm that photorec is gold, pure gold. It will recover 99% of your
data. But then again you have it backed up so I don't see how waiting 20
hours for it to finish (recovery takes a lot of time) makes any sense here.
Reinstall and profit!

instead.
Stopped reading there. This forum is against non-free software. I am pretty
sure Buguntu has plenty of forums where you can ask your questions.
Bonne fortunae!
Yeah.. Watch the vid I linked and hammerdatphoon.jpg :)
I avoid this type of mistakes using # whenever I am doing something delicate

Yep, reinstalling worked.
Good advice. Thank you.
Substitute "#" with "echo" and type enter. The command will be printed but
after Shell expansion (typically the wildcard, *, but also the variables,
etc.). Try for instance:
$ echo cp /var/log/syslog* $HOME
Here it returns:
cp /var/log/syslog /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/syslog.2.gz
/var/log
Guix was recommended to me as a solution to a particular problem in another
thread, and it seems promising in general. I have enough questions that it
seemed worth opening a new thread.

Synaptic it is immediately a
In an earlier thread a number of you recommended QEMU (+ kvm) as a virtual
machine solution. I haven't had 'time' to experiment with that until now.

After this recent thread I have decided to try to replace my smartphone with
a PDA running JMP and only free software. I'm now trying to find on a good
fully free device to use.
The Ben Nanonote looks ideal, but I can't actually find a source from which
to buy one. The wiki says that as of
1.- You have no add Guix to your PATH and reboot
2.- No this is not possible, you could install Emacs with Guix and then
launch this Emacs and it will have installed the necessary packages to use it
as Synaptic.
3.- I am not sure, it is possible. You can look for all the installed
package
You could also have a smartphone with Replicant and use it without a SIM card
I think this depends on your preferences :/ I prefer to put everything under
Documents
This is normal do a Trisquel live USB with Ubuntu and it will say "you can
run Ubuntu..."
Trisquel substituted all the "Ubuntu" for "Trisquel" so is normal.
This is more of a Libreboot problem than Trisquel or Ubuntu. So you might
want to ask to libreboot.
Thanks. I think then, that I'll do the same.
It seems to me, that mason doesn't want to be tracked. To my knowledge, a SIM
enabled device is by default actively asking to be tracked. For instance, you
are able to call emergency services without a SIM card inserted.

I didn't know this.
In my country this doesn't work :/
But it is interesting.
I do not see how it would help. You can reformat the swap partition (that
may help since it used to be encrypted, but I doubt so):
$ sudo swapoff -a
$ sudo mkswap /dev/sda2
$ sudo swapon -a
And you can try a more recent kernel: https://jxself.org/linux-libre/
It also appears that all devices supported by Replicant require nonfree
firmware to use WiFi, unless this list is out-of-date.

I thought I had found the Pandora for sale here, but not knowing German I did

However, I feel better about the Pyra after reading the link you included.

I find it not unusual that some problems which 'seem' OS related- for
non-techies like myself - get solved by a re-installation.
But I will try your advise first, thanks.
But you use a wifi-dongle working with free firmware.
That gave no change.
Strangely though, using 'Fn+F12' to wake it up does work!
Could the problem be about assignation of keys?
