When you call cat without arguments, it expects to get the input from standard input, which means from your keyboard.

Not serious: "This morning after a good old apt update && apt upgrade" Seriously: The last "system" update was in April 2018 when trisquel 8 was released. If you are in trisquel 8 individual applications could be updated if there is a new version of it in the official repo (Updates are only f

I'd recommend dwm. It's not the easiest one but it's lightweight and you can learn some C in the process.

Hello, Today I updated to Trisquel etiona. Apparently all updated correctly with the exception of the resolv service. After update my computer cannot resolve any domain names.

I searched on the internet and found a solution that works for me. 1. Modify `/etc/nsswitch.conf` to include your hostname in the hosts line 2. Point your /etc/resolv.conf to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf with `sudo ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf resolv.conf` 3. Restart resolvconf

Lets see if I get it right. But basically there are hackers and users that loathe systemd. The main reason is its scope. It does too many things. this is contrary to the unix philosophy "Do one thing and do it well". You can find some of the complains here: https://suckless.org/sucks/systemd/

Hello George. There are several factors that can impact your network, usually the chain goes computer -> router -> modem -> isp I'd think the network card on your computers (ethernet or wifi) should handle more than those speeds. Are you using wifi or copper (ethernet cable)? Depending on y

That seems to be the case. I'd change the mirror to one of these https://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/ Free Software Foundation. Boston, MA, USA. http://in.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/ KMEA Engineering College. (https://kmeacollege.ac.in/). Kochi, India. https://mirror.

I think that is correct. The runit project has been stalled since 2014. I think it's a good init system. To include runit Trisquel would have to: 1. Change ubuntu even more. I'd think that may take time and effort. 2. Decide what init system would replace systemd. I don't think it's critical t

I'd agree with you. The answer to the first question may be "no". I don't think there is a drawback. Most arguments against systemd are preferences like following the unix philosophy. But you can argue the same about emacs and that doesn't change the fact that emacs is a great piece of softwa

This seems to be more a hardware issue rather than a software issue. I'd try another distro just to confirm this behavior is the same with any other distro (debian or trisquel live should do the trick)

Interesting you find the trisquel-app-install utility of no use. Why do you think it is a bad joke?
