Could not start My computer this morning, I think BIOS has died, is there a
way to recover it?
Having googled I'm hoping it is just a dead battery, going to replace it and
give it a try.
I run Trisquel alongside Debian (duel boot) I want to do away with Debian as
an operating system and just use Trisquel.
In order to do this I need to change to Virtualbox. At present I use Vmware
to run Windows 7 ( Before people rise up and condem me for using Windows a
brief explaintion -
I'm desperatly trying to do away with VMware so that instead of dual booting
I can just use Trisquel.
I have found how to do it BUT not in total.
Problem - In vmware if I go into Snapshot manager it shows Windows 7 then a
circle saying 'you are here'
Now copying all the files/folders to
a prevailing army (of criminals) dominates citizens, effectively becoming a
government
In My opinion that sounds like the Government of the UK,witness the recent
expenses scandal.
I'm not a student of U.S.A. politics but it seems to me that they have a
better system than the U.K. where we
For various reasons I need to duel boot. I have tried many distros but not
happy with them, read up on debian and whilst everybody seems to agree it is
a bit outdated they also say it is very robust. I have installed Ver 7 with
XFCE desktop and it does every thing I want it to and lies
Testing now - seems a serious competitor to Trisquel, The only downside I
have found so far is that it doesn't have a 'software center' or forum.
Well said stefano,particularly your remarks about a *technical* forum and ,
if you like non-technical forum. I proposed this some time ago, I even
offered to pay for hosting it (and I'm still prepared to do so) but was
ignored.
Incidently I may be wrong (if I am I apologise) but it is
I wasn't making accusations -Incidently I may be wrong *(if I am I
apologise)* but it is surely against the rules to use IRC chat which does not
appear to be free software.
I agree My alternative forum wasn't very good but that wasn't the point , it
was just to show that things could be

I find this whole post interesting, jxself asks everybody to follow the
Community guidelines and yet this is a quote from them We will always remain
gentle and persistent in our efforts for a fair treatment of software users
I said in another post that one mans freedom is another mans prison -
Interesting, this morning whilst at a visit to Sainsbury's supermarket saw a
magazine called Linux Format, it came with a dvd with an interview with
Richard Stallman and on the dvd cover Trisquel, the word is spreading !
Yup - that's the one
A good read
Have now updated the website www.trisquel-users.com and added Trisquel 6 with
KDE desktop.
Hi,
If your desktop conforms to the Trisquel philosphy and you can turn it into
an .iso I would be happy to host it here www.trisquel-users.com and credit it
to you.
Regards
John
First of all you don't tell us what is on it ?
Once you have completed it, will be happy to host it for you.
Yes , as I understand it the net installer provides all the base files.
You then go into whatever package manager you installed and add whatever you
want. If you want any assistance send me a private message.
The maximum persistemce on any usb is 4 GB
He needs to be carefull, whilst 'trisquel' is a word anybody can use, the
Trisquel 'brand' is protected by copyright and requires certain conditions to
be met when using it.
Tedious , I offered help some time ago and have heard nothing which is why I
set up My website which goes some way to promoting Trisquel.
Or you could try this one http://trisquel-users.com/trisquel-downloads/

Again the Cinnamon desktop is a personnel interpretation and of course you
can set it up as you wish.
The iso was created using remastersys
Neil - understood
The .iso was built using the net installer.
There has been a lot of talk in different post about desktops and it is
obvious that there a quite a lot of people who would like an alternative.
I believe that the developer should concentrate on one or two distributions
but that alternative
The website has only just been launched so any comments (including about the
site) good or bad or suggested altrations will be welcome.
Mr. Boat - once you have got some screen shots will be happy to put them on
the website.
Have now added a cinnamon desktop which has some basic applications installed
allowing you to install your favorite applications.
Chris, I'm not sure I get the gist of your argument. I'm using trisquel 6 net
installer (bare bones) and using synaptic to install the
programs/applications, surely this doesn't 'eat into resources'?.
Then of course there is the argument that this is 'free' and we can use it as
we wish ?
Chris - thanks
Chris - thanks
Chris, not sure what you mean. Are you saying I shouldn't be doing this?
OK folks , I could never get the Net Install iso to install KDE so I thought
I'd have ago myself.
I now have an iso for distribution but don't know how to host it or where,
suggestions please.
That doesn't work, selecting all the pictures and right clicking the
permissions tab is 'greyed' out
I'm not afraid of using a terminal but My ignorance is usualy finding and
using the correct path.
However it is gratifying that such a simple problem should elicit such
generous help from forum members.
This may sound daft, I put over a thousand photos onto a non re-writable dvd.
I've just loaded them onto My computor and they come up locked.Whilst I can
change the permissions for an idividual picture no problem this will take
hours.
Is there a way of doing the whole lot in one go?
I entered this in terminal
chown -R 'john': 'john' /john/Photos/100NIKON
and got the message chown: cannot access `:': No such file or directory
Thanks, for an ignoramus like me that's easier to understand
lembas - totally agree , you put it better than me
There has been a lot of posting about version 6 .
What happens if somebody 'googling' finds it by chance - as I did.
The OFFICIAL versions are 4.0 and 5.5 , logically this will remain so untill
the 'home' page and 'download' page are updated /
Just a thought.
Some of the posts seem to inicate an AMD 64 is available
The list is NOT the same as 5.5 (will it be??) no lxde, no net install.
May seem a silly question but which folder are all the wallpapers/images for
Trisquel stored ?
The original poster does have a point in getting some type of update on 6.
For those that contribute money to Ruben every month... are any of you
worried in how your money is spent when he isn't giving you updates. He does
owe you guys some faith that this project is still somewhat active.
Thanks
I had this problem - simply go into synaptic /settings and change the mirror
to france /http - close and reload synaptic -worked for me
I'm running Trisquel 6. I have added a second user with full administritve
rights but when they try to add remove applications it asks for their
password. They enter their password and get the message
Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window' '--non-interactive'

Armworm - if you have seen no 3 as a poster - they have pinched my work.
Number 3 was made up of three paintings i did then combined using Gimp.
No1 ? could you please enlighten me as to what Trisquel's theme is ? If i
look to change my desktop there doesn't seem to be a common thread.
Having a problem with Net installer 6. I run through it and select Triskel as
my desktop. Everything goes OK untill this
' Select and Install Software' gets to 85% the freezes at - ' running
post-installation trigger libglib2.0-0 '
Is this a bug ?
If so how do I report it ?
Not tried that - how do I make sure no internet connection ?
Dave Hunt - it doesn't work without the net I've given it a try, it is a
shame really as the 5.5 version is excellent but wil have to go back to it.
Dave Hunt - I hadn't realized that the Trisquel 6.0 were only beta versions,
will wait till it appears here www.trisquel.info/en/download
I installed JUST the Cinnamon desktop and as far as I can tell that doesn't
install any extra programs, for instance the default browser is still
abrowser and there are no programs available other than the standard Trisquel
6 ones in the menu.
Just installed Cinnamon and rather like it BUT is it 'free' software ?
Have just had a very bad visit to the dentist but once I've recovered will
give it a go -thanks
Sorry ,mis-read the page , see chis's post.
Chris - I am NOT recommending KUbuntu , I'm just saying this is the only way
I can run My printer ! Thanks for the link. The next problem - in the list of
dependencies these 5 don't appear in synaptic.
cups-devel
cups-image
gs
python-xml
python2x
All required.
One thought on this 'printer'
I haven't disgarded Trisquel - I duel boot.
Chris - when you don't do a lot of printing and I can get a new printer for
£30 it's a no brainer.
I've overcome the problem by installing Kubuntu alongside Trisquel unless or
untill the driver problem can be sorted.
You could all-ways install Muon which is in add/remove applications.
I've had to buy a new printer and settled on an HP Deskjet 2510 All-IN-ONE as
it claimed to be Linux supported.
When I open System- Printing I get the message there are no printers
configured yet
I've done a search and the only reference I can find refers to Dagda's HPLIP
repository.

I meant I would like to use file manager as 'root' but I can't remember the

That command simply launched synaptic. Perhaps I didn't word My original post
correctly.
Whilst using e 17 desktop synaptic does not appear on any of the menus , as

I have a problem with Synaptic running in e 17, cannot launch it. Anybody
got any ideas ?

terminal, please elaborate.
Thanks, I thought of changing font sizes BUT on the version I have there are

@ Chris,
The email functionality is easily sorted, as far as spam is concerned - not
a problem, using Drupal gives a very secure site.
There are quite a few options , for instance at the moment My site is set up

@ Chris,
This is one of the deficiencies of this forum, there is no way to create a
poll !!!
@ Magic Banana - thanks
Contacted Ruben more than a week ago, no reply as yet.
As far as I can see is for people to register on My site and do the poll !
@ jbar ,
Thanks, will look into 'quotes' and abuse.
Well I've tried to submit a style of forum ( www.trisquel-users.com ) but for
all the people who complain nobody has yet commented on it
At aliasbody, this normal, anybody who registers a domain name has to supply
it (you could see My details by a whois for trisquel-users.com) You can pay
extra for these details to be 'private'
Use Trisquel as main and Xubuntu to run CAD programs in VMware
Well, all though VirtualBox claims to be able to run programs produced by
VMware I have never been able to make it work
I'm using the following software, out of interest do they follow the 'free'
software philosophy ?

Ubuntu Tweak
Remastersys
Thanks folks.
I don't install anything through Ubuntu Tweak ,simply for cleaning the
system.
Remastersys is an excellent bit of kit and I think the Wiki is out of date.
Shame I can't shoe this thread as solved LOL
Have been working on a Drupal site, it is by no means finished but thought it
might be time for people to take a look.
Main differences to this forum are :-
Two Sections
Help Support
General Discussion
As far as posting goes there are some changes.
Post has WYSIWTYG editor
Ability to
Of course if we had a moderatot to complain too that might solve the problem
as people would be wary of starting such threads
If there is a moderator - who is it and how do we contact them?
Thanks -
I'm not sure how the mailing list works, maybe some one can explain?
Who is quidam ? perhaps he could contact me ?
I'm looking into a lot more and will bear that in mind -
Have added a couple of posts so you can see how it works
Well said Chris
Yeehi, can you point Me in the direction of the Vanilla plugin , I'm having
trouble finding it
Some time ago I suggested that we may get more members if we had a more
'conventional' forum layout. I was challenged to submit My ideas - well,
Have a look here www.trisquel-users.com
Then post your comments/suggestions.
Sorry ,don't know the answer to either question, perhaps someone else knows
the answer.
I tried using Drupal but it was too complicated for My tiny brain lol
