Bump
I can't seem to fix it... I think it's not reading gconf.
I can use gksu and gksudo from the console but I need to be able to run apps
from the Activities overview (I use GNOME shell).
I read somewhere that every package is a vunreability. Should this principle
be applied to home/office workstations?
(if I installed gnome instead of gnome-shell, or if I even installed a X.org
server at all...)
I can't seem to get gnome-panel to reset to default without the Trisquel
panel layout.
I'm attempting to install Trisquel 6.0 (amd64) on a Lenovo Ideapad P500. I'm
attempting to connect to the internet before installing (on the Live CD) but
it doesn't seem to want to connect to the wireless network, it just wants to
stay on eth0. wlan0 doesn't exist, so that could explain
I think it might work if I installed the kernel from jxself's repository, but
it's on a CD and would be impossible.
I've been installing KDE packages, and i'm running out of disk space on my
root (/) partition. I've made a pastebin with my currently installed packages
here: http://pastebin.com/WTsPF4eR . I don't want to remove all of KDE and
install kde-standard but I want to remove all parts of KDE that

Since LightDM is near impossible to install I made a script to install it.
#!/bin/bash
echo Please type in your password:
sudo echo n y y aptitude install lightdm
sudo cp /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.old
sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --greeter unity-greeter
Add ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10.Try ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 if you want the
beta.
Sorry. I meant running free software that hadn't been ported to linux yet (or
ported but left unchanged otherwise.) I guess Minitube won't work?
I'm trying to mean I might add a DE every so often to the VM ( see one of my
previous posts ) so that whenever my friend hears linux my friend will not
think about a panel at the bottom, a trisquel button and a system tray.
I mean free software that hadn't been changed ( i.e. to change the OS of a
web browser so I could run windows executables ( free software of course ) ).
I'm sorry, it's just that most windows runtimes can be supplied in
linux/trisquel.
java = openjdk
flash = gnash ( maybe not though)
html5 = well, html5
.net = mono
shockwave = probaly not.
And also send the template at
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/recommending-trisquel to my friends email?
So I should first tell my friend to use Free Software Applications, wait
about 3-5 weeks, grab the ISO and make a VM, wait a week, give my friend a
LiveUSB and tell my friend to use the LiveUSB a couple times, wait 4 weeks,
and finally install?
I am not trying to move my friend to Trisquel 6.0 for the freedoms (well
atleast not just because of the freedoms) but for the fact it might be better
for my friend. My friend /*isn't that smart on computers*/ and finds Windows
too complex. My friend is looking for a laptop more simple; it's
I think it's still under the mozilla license.
My objective: to create a working Trisquel 6.0 install with enough to play
videos, view samba shares and manage files and browse the web. I could start
by using the commands on http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelubuntu , but I
don't really know where to start from there. How would I
And I could install the default settings a desktop environment anyway.
And a VM/wine works right most of the time anyway. Then again, every package
is a vulnerability.
Couldn't you just use a) Wine to run Skype (or run it in a (legit) VM) and b)
use Gnash?
It uses NetWorkManager. If I remove lxde and install openbox... BAM. Internet
breaks.
A friend of mine (who uses Windows 8; I know that's awful) for some reason
doesn't understand that Windows 8 is not what my friend should have because
my friend is trying to find some laptop that's simple; my friend just doesn't
understand that Windows (or Mac) is NOT /*caps intended*/ the
I'm using unetbootin because FUSBi gave error messages. I'll tell when it's
finshed the results.
It works! Just not with FUSBi, but with Unetbootin.
Exact same problem. See first post...
It sees it as 1 drive and won't let me click Create.
yup.
Do I have to DD the image to /dev/sdb1? Both partitions are blank (except for
the filesystem, of course.)
The system I tried to run it on gave me a error saying:
isolinux.bin missing or corrupt
The only explanation is that the whole image didn't get copied. How do I
install isolinux on the USB?
Now after re-DDing the image, I DON'T EVEN GET A SINGLE CHARACTER OF TEXT!
/* caps intended (not yelling) */
(BTW, I did choose USB boot.) The laptop runs Windows XP (not very sure why,
meant to be win7) and I have a text file full of the info of the laptop (with
lines removed for privacy.)
BTW: The flash drive I'm using is supposed to be 2 GB.
After creating a ext2 partition of 1.27 GiB, (according to gparted) and a
ext4 partition of 619 MiB with a label of casper-rw without the qoutetation
marks, i get the same result (as superuser.)
I cannot define reserved space with the i18n iso (it's stuck on 0.0 MB) and
cannot click Create.
