I should have looked first, of course. No Trisquel version exists based on Ubuntu 18.04, so I shall have to wait. Drat.

[Trisquel-users] Possible to trisquelize Xubuntu 18.04.2 LTS ?

2019-05-12 Thread brashley46
I just invested in a new laptop, built on an Acer Aspire system by TheLinuxLaptop. I really wanted to get Trisquel installed but had to settle for Xubuntu. I'm thinking now of Trisquelizing the Xubuntu partition on the machine now (80% of the hard drive, the other 20% is a Windows 10

Hi ... I have tried the upgrade-via-software-updater repeatedly, and it refuses to get beyond telling me I can't because I have software from other sources installed. This makes no difference when I am installing an update to xUbuntu on my desktop; as Trisquel is also debian-ubuntu based I

I personally avoid using Paypal, for one supreme reason, which is political: The Israeli settlers in the internatilally-recognised-to-be-illegal settlements on the West Bank are allowed to use Paypal. Palestinians legally resident in the West Bank, in those areas remaining to them, are not.

I agree ... I use Xubuntu on my desktop, and it has got a bit porky. The latest install erased all my saved data, luckily I had backed up most of the really essential stuff to my cloud servers. (I use 3 of them.)

I run Trisquel 7 Mini on my old EeePC HD1000 netbook. Works fine, although the wifi antenna is no longer working ... I use an ethernet connection at home, and I can tether it to my phone when I am out of the house with it.

That depended critically on who exactly were the /Demos/, the people. You were not a member of the demos unless your grandfather had been, and you were male, and you were free. No /metic/ could vote in the Assembly, i.e. those who were not citizens by birth and descent; they were considered

Yeah, Abiword is twice as fast as LibreOffice in opening a .doc document on this netbook ... makes no difference to me, LO can do so much more that it is worth it.

Icecat works, at least on this site, and it runs on my old EeePC, so will probably run well on your old netbook too. That is interesting about the Midori version in Trisquel 7 ...

In Midori it won't get beyond the certificate issue. Screenshot attached. If I click on "trust this website" I get sreenshot2.

Yesterday and today I get that response in Midori; in Icecat it works just fine. Other sites are loading well in Midori. Maybe the website certificate is incompatible with Midori/Abrowser? -- running Trisquel Mini 7 on my EeePC.

I'm using it too. I downloaded the version for Ubuntu 14.04, asa that is the version Trisquel 7 is based on, more or less. I had to download the .deb on my desktop and import it to my netbook, as neither Midori nor Icecat will connect to mega.nz .
