Re: [Trisquel-users] journalctl complains bios is broken

This is normal and shouldn't cause any problems (note that it's only a warning). Linux detects that the Direct Memory Access (DMA) Remapping ACPI table (part of Intel VT-d, the IOMMU) is initialized wrong. This will be fixed in a future release of libreboot.

Finally, I have tried just now and the problem is still present. In consequence, the 4.4.0-154-lowlatency release did not resolve the problem :-/ I do not have any clue why it was working when I tried it on the beginning of this afternoon... Best regards.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat seems very outdated, what browser *should* one be using?

2019-08-07 Thread lovexdrew
I tried this with the latest Icecat with a fresh install of Trisquel Mini. I'm happy to report that it does in fact work, but with one extra step, you have to reboot before Icecat shows up anywhere. Once you reboot, it's fine.

Hello people, I have tried today the suspend / hibernate functionality and it worked! I haven't change anything since the beginning but now after regular system updates it seems to be OK. My system is now: $ cat /proc/version Linux version 4.4.0-154-lowlatency (jenk...@devel.trisquel.info)
