I'm not very familiar with firejail. How do you go about wrapping a command
in firejail, and do you have a list of everywhere you have done so?
> I thought the license name was a free text field.
I was partly mistaken. If you select "Other" you are indeed given a text
field in which to enter a different license. However, as you say, most free
addons are probably under one of the seven licenses listed, and anyone using
one of
"mate-panel", I guess. It comes as a dependence of even
"mate-desktop-environment-core": you should have it. I believe your problem
deals more with the configuration of the panel. I use GNOME Shell and cannot
really help with that.
I can't find a way to get the Trisquel panel right. I installed mate-tweak
and chose "Redmond". What's the package for Trisquel single panel?
This metapackage installs more than just the theme.
There is "trisquel-gtk-theme" for Trisquel's GTK theme, "trisquel-ion-theme"
for Trisquel's icon theme, "trisquel-wallpapers" for Trisquel's wallpapers,
"plymouth-theme-trisquel-logo" for Trisquel's Plymouth theme, etc.
Some Linux (kernel) drivers, like those for Realtek Ethernet interfaces, try
to load non-free firmware. Trisquel uses scripts from Linux-libre to disable
non-free firmware loading in its Linux packages. So that message is just
Trisquel's Linux notifying you that the Realtek Ethernet driver
The Realtek 8169 chipset of your Ethernet card would run a proprietary
firmware (a "blob") that the kernel would send to it, if that kernel was not
made to protect your freedoms. Fortunately, you run Linux-libre, which does
protect your freedoms.
>Rather, there shouldn't *be* a repo with non-free things in it. So: Copy the
free things into a new repo, and then all FSF-endorsed distros can change the
address in their copy of pypi to access the new location instead.
this.
sudo apt install trisquel-desktop-common
You used Fedora 28, which comes with Gnome Shell (not considering the spins,
akin to Trisquel mini)? That's far from minimal or lightweight.
Anyway, not many solutions :
either learn how to make a minimal install (best solution, there must be a
tutorial around the web), or maybe easier,
Thanks, how would you go about getting back the default Trisquel theme? Sorry
If I'm being nitpicky!
Prior to using Trisquel I used Fedora 28 on a ThinkPad X240. It only included
a browser, basic utilities and the software center which was great and saved
me from un-installing the rubbish I didn't want. This was just a default
install as they don't have a minimal install option. I think
I've curiosity of what's going on with that message. dmesg output:

X11 is needed and it's not installed together with the desktop environment.
It is surprising that "xorg" does not come as a dependency.
lswh gives driver=ath9k_htc driverversion=4.14.67-gnu firmware=1.4, things
like that.
I changed the Wi-Fi channel on my ISP's modem.
It seems pretty stable for now. No error messages, no disconnections I could
witness.
Hopefully it stays that way.
I'll get back to you if it gets wobbly
sudo apt install xorg
X11 is needed and it's not installed together with the desktop environment.
This is what you get after installing Xorg, Mate and Lightdm.
Using the NetInstall to build your custom system is not that hard: you only
need to know the 'sudo apt install' command. What is harder is to decide
what to install and discover the related package name. Assuming you want
Trisquel's default desktop environment, you can execute:
$ sudo apt
Mozilla requires a license statement and provides a clearly defined set of
options
I was not aware of that. I thought the license name was a free text field.
That may mean the two small scripts (in the attached archive) I wrote some
time ago may be modified to automatically list the
By the way thanks for the help you already provided chaosmonk. If you have
any other useful suggestions I am all ears :)
That workaround actually is clever, though I would prefer to really solve
things.
I would rather not install the trisquel metapackage becausew that will
require installing things like "Pidgin" and "Cheese" plus a bunch of others,
which I do not use. I have tried reinstalling caja, let's see if that works.
I think the issue is that some commands around my system are still
We should care more about bloat but I'm not sure that Ubuntu's minimal
installation reduces bloat much. It only cuts some 300 MB off the full
installation.
An amateur is supposed to not know what he/she needs, so they include a lot
of stuff. They (developers) believe that it's more
I agree with you, the Trisquel documentation could be improved for those
wishing to build a minimal system with only packages they will use but it is
a lot of work. Meanwhile, the Debian handbook is great help (with Gentoo and
Arch wiki) to learn how to "cook" your installation.
