I'd love to contribute; just don't see how it's feasible. I've tried Trisquel
on macs many times in the past and now with the latest ISO. Etcher is no
magic silver bullet. DD, my personal favourite, or any other program is
capable of writing the ISO to disk but they won't show up. There's

OK, so at least two of us have access to Macs for testing (my wife's is an
older MacBook - about 7-8 years old), that's great. It would be great to come
up with a fairly reliable set of instructions for installing Flidas on Macs.
Shall we start a separate thread to focus on this?

No, it doesn't. I'm not sure what part of my posts you got that impression
from, but PlayOnLinux is libre. What it has is installation recipes for
proprietary software, since that's the job it's

libre would be to remove support for proprietary games. onpon4's point is

Exactly.

Hi Everyone
I used to be able to rotate my Linux console so that if I typed ctrl-alt
F1 thru F6, I could access virtual terminals that were also rotated
vertically with my monitor.
I tried to run this:
sudo update-grub
And I am getting errors.
I altered my /etc/defalt/grub file before
Same with Hyperbola. only systemd is now effectively gone.
:)
Devuan init freedom/stability/security + Parabola libre importance =
Hyperbola's way
My point I guess is Hyperbola has all those advantages.
Although it does have some weaknesses too of course... but for me they are
well worth
Ah, Okay then.. welp I am confused... you said it had proprietary binaries in
it I thought.
Well either way, I still find it good to use playonlinux or winetricks rather
then use straight forward windows or other proprietary oses.
Take it for what it is worth. :/
My proposal for a masculine name :
Mabon: Welsh god of freedom, harmony, unity, music and youth, known as the
son of the Great Mother.

I really like Etiona so I upvoted this post.

Oanuava: ancient Gallic earth goddess, a mother goddess who is regional
revered as the source from which all life flows.

Yes it's not yet come with the full OpenRC in Devuan, but in Parabola the
full OpenRC is available as an independent init system other than systemd.

I understand your confusion.
Let me explain in another way:
I love FLOSS culture.
I love DotA 1.
Being able to play DotA 1 entirely through free software would make me very
happy.
Before Wine, the only method of playing DotA 1 was to have Windows.
Wine is a step towards the desire of
I had this issue with a x200 flashed to Libreboot two years ago.
When I ran qemu with --enable-kvm or when I used libvirt (with virt-manager),
it freezed and I was forced to hard shutdown.
The x200 had a a P8400 Core 2 Duo, I don't remember the batch.. but on my
current x200 (with a P8600)
Trisquel 8 doesn't work. Burned an ISO to DVD using Finder's built in burner.
All is fine but the disc won't show up at boot.
At the same time, Debian 9 and Puppy Xenialpup boot just fine.

> You see. My favorite game, the game I grew up with and I love is DotA 1.
This game is a game inside the Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne. This game is
proprietary and it is made for a proprietary OS.
And what's going to help you install that is PlayOnLinux. Not a "libre"
version that strips out
If it is free software and more user-friendly than "Burn", then it is indeed
a good idea.

proprietary at all.
Don't you see the contradiction in this? You want to make it possible to play
proprietary games "without... anything
Devuan made this choice to install OpenRC during the installation, but in
Devuan Jessie i had no problems installing OpenRC with apt-get, maybe some
work with the services but it worked. I don't understand what do you say with
SysV deps, OpenRC it's not a complete init like SysV or SystemD,

Trisquel 9 will be based on the as-yet-unreleased Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic
Beaver". Including systemd.
I wonder if Red Hats's Fedora Media Writer could be modified to download and
write Trisquel ISO to USB. It's available for Win/Mac/Linux.

Select expert mode installation at the very beginning to install OpenRC with
Devuan? This is quite simply running pacman in an arch-chroot session in
Parabola that there is not a pain.
But for the currently installed Devaun systems (yes I have one) any measures
to get the full OpenRC like

Just tried using the Flidas USB I successfully used on my AA1 to boot up a
live session on my wife's Mac (El Capitan). No dice. I held down the Option
key, and got a screen allowing me to choose boot sources, but it didn't pick
up the OS on the USB.

Hey onpon, it's good of you to say this, and I'm happy to be part of a
community where we value being friendly and welcoming, and where it's ok and
earns respect to admit when things go wrong. Respect.
For the record, I sympathize with the point you were making. As you know, I'm
pretty
Hi John, I also own an AA1, although mine is a bit older than yours (click on
my name next to my comment to see the specs). Mine was originally sold with
XP on it, and it runs Trisquel 8 nicely (running it off the USB as I post
this), so I'm sure it will work fine on yours. Feel free to DM

Your difficulty actually has nothing to do with GNU/Linux and everything to
do with the piece of software on the motherboard that takes care of
initializing the hardware and booting the operating. It needs to be
configured to boot on the pendrive rather than on the hard drive. To enter
Success! Today I:
* used wget to download trisquel_8.0_i686.iso - check!
* checked the md5sum - check!
* used Startup Disk Creator in Belenos to create a bootable USB - check!
* rebooted using the USB - check!
* checked the integrity of the USB - check!
* rebooted and launched a live session
Yep, mhm I have had experience with this.
A bit of a pain but doable completely and totally.
I disagree strongly with this, our first goal as a libre community is to get
people off of... PROPRIETARY OPERATING SYSTEMS!
Such as crapple, winblows and google crapbooks...
Your context is meaningless for this reason. Such purity is admirable for
libre culture, but it is harmful to expect
You are both saying things like "things is great", "this is bad" like you are
some sort of authority. Please be more specific and explaining.
> but it ain't so.
Why? Why not?
If you want to install OpenRC in Devuan ascii you have to choose expert mode
installation, then you will have a dialog to choose OpenRC, it's pretty cool.

Feel free to feel but it ain't so. Onpon4, in my books, is one of the most
proficient contributors to this forum. You should pay attention to ewhat she
has to say.
The way I see your behaviour is that you are comming into posts and comments
and just comments negative things.
I have a suggestion for you :
Look at the titles in the forum, do you see a title where you can contribute
to thread topic or help the OP, please contribute.
If you see nothing
What if I feel that your comments are spam?
Your language is very ultimatistic. You are using words like "there is", "it
is", and forgetting that not everybody shares your opinion.
For you, there is no point in having a libre playonlinux. For me that would
be totally awesome and definitely something to strive against.
You see. My
I would like to see if Trisquel 9 is to liberate Devuan 2 "ascii" main, or
simply importing OpenRC to the system from Devuan codebase.
But anyway you are of course free to install your favourite desktop using
apt, simply you are not forced to be stuck at LXDE if uncomfortable. I would
like to recommend LXQt.
In different libre system I run very different desktops, just a kindly
