Thanks! I was actually preferring it. I read some instructions to do
NetInstall, but I found it confusing. How would I choose GNOME instead of
MATE during installation process?
Thanks! Yes, I can use commands in terminal. Is it safe to use that
repository? Because I don't want any non-free parts getting installed on my
device.
? I don't know what you're talking about. Trisquel isn't Ubuntu, and it isn't
Debian. It's Trisquel. The package for installing GNOME, all of it, is
"gnome". I don't understand why you think it's more complicated than that.
In fact the only hard part is removing MATE, since you need to know w
Thanks for clarification. Yet I'm still not sure whether is it possible to
(directly) install (meta) packages from Debian on an Ubuntu-based
distribution.
The gnome meta package from Debian should be "vanilla" (original).
The package is "gnome", not "gnome-desktop".
First, I'd like to install and run xinput to see whether the input device(s)
is(are) detected. If yes, follow said link to modify the configuration file.
You can also optionally enable or disable input device(s) using xinput.
I routinely use Debian (without non-free firmware or non-free repos
I did simple searches on packages.debian.org and packages.ubuntu.com. There
was no up-to-date meta package named "gnome-desktop" in Debian. However, I
did find a meta package named "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" in its "universe"
repository. Try to install it and you should have Gnome 3. Once install
I would suggest just starting from scratch with a net-install.
And I would disagree with the suggestion to use that PPA. Better to stick
with the versions in the repo.
what "software manager" are you familiar with? Synaptic or some other
"updater"? I'd fire up Synaptic, (sorry, I'm writing this from Fedora 28
beta, otherwise I'd confirm the steps with Synaptic)
If you're somewhat familiar with the command line and/or "sudo apt-get" (I
have my doubts because
I want to remove MATE completely, that is, including all it's associated
packages and software suite. Then I want to install GNOME completely, that
is, all associated packages and software suite that comes with it. Please
provide me step wise instructions as I have not done this before. Thank
I once did that :)
Hello, Aloniv! Yes, the country flag. However, I have found the solution:
right click on the bottom panel, click on "Panel settings" click on "Panel
applet", click on "Add", click on "Keyboard manager" and I have seen my
country flag on the bottom panel at right.
I understand that the terminal is intimidating at first, especially if you
don't understand what the commands are doing. Magic Banana already covered
some of this, but here's an explanation of what each command does. I'm also
adding in a few extra lines to help you understand what's happening
sometime before release of trisquel 8 there used to be a nice web interface
for searching trisquel's .deb packages, as announced here:

when I open http://packages.trisquel.info/ I get what appears to be a
barebones UI for ftp server that contains
