One thing you can help with now is assembling a list of packages that need to
be blacklisted from Ubuntu bionic. You can use the xenial list as a base.
What is the output of `cat /proc/cmdline`?
You can also run update-manager -d, which allows you to upgrade to prerelease
versions
Some results I have found:
- Upgrading from Trisquel Mini works
- However, you can't log out because the lxsession-logout package doesn't
get installed like it should
- The following packages also get left around:
libass4/now 0.10.1-3ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,local]
lib
Alternatively you can install the linux-lts-generic-xenial package. Really
everyone still using the default kernel ought to do this, the default kernel
no longer receives updates.
Try running the package helper scripts according to the instructions. Some
scripts will succeed, while others will fail with an error or produce a
package which fails to build.
Thanks for your interest! Another major thing that needs to be done before a
mature release of Trisquel 8 can happen is to update all the [package
helpers](https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers) for flidas.
The package helpers are scripts we use to edit packages in order to rem
Newer versions of kdenlive require KDE Framework 5, which is only coming in
Trisquel 8. You can try an oldish version if packages still exist or you're
willing to compile them...
Great to hear this update.
Looks like the firefox job built correctly. But the package hasn't been
pushed to the master repository yet. The trisquel-repo-update job still
hasn't been fixed...
I'm making unofficial Docker images for Trisquel available at
https://hub.docker.com/r/kpengboy/trisquel/.
Docker's a way to make containers for testing things in isolated
environments; you can read more about it on various places on the web. I've
found it pretty convenient to, for example,
Perhaps you can try using the libvirt backend for vagrant. I've never tried,
though, so I can't say more about that.
Goodbye Taranis. You were my first version of Trisquel.
We should have a coherent policy for upstream keyrings. Currently we have all
of the Debian keyrings in our repository except the debian-edu ones, and all
of Ubuntu's keyrings except ubuntu-keyring. We even install
ubuntukylin-keyring by default (I'm pretty sure that's a bug). One argument
FYI, it seems like you're making a new FUSBi... [1]

Has anyone else had a problem where, in Trisquel Desktop, clicking the option
in the battery panel's menu to display the percentage remaining, and clicking
it again (to hide the percentage) makes the battery panel disappear?
It seems to be some nasty package rename issue. I fixed it for myself by
force-removing (with dpkg --force-depends) ubuntu-release-upgrader-core and
ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk and installing in their place
trisquel-release-upgrader-core and trisquel-release-upgrader-gtk.
In the GNOME Classic menu in 7.0, it is no longer possible to drag menu items
between folders using the menu editor. Not sure why it had to change.
> Slackware, which is known to be very slow to adopt new technologies, is,
to the best of my knowledge, the only major distribution that did not
announce the switch. They will certainly make it later.
Then again, Slackware doesn't even use Sysvinit (they use a BSD-style init)

So ironic...

When I start on AC, /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode remains 0 when I unplug the
cable. But upower --monitor notices that the battery changed and the icon in
the Panel changes too.
I have a similar setup. (Yes, what now...)
I usually boot into Trisquel in legacy mode, and when I need to use Windows I
switch into UEFI mode. I've tried to get Trisquel to boot in UEFI mode by
default, but most UEFI implementations these days are crap and only useful
for booting Windows.
I set my power settings to suspend if my laptop is on battery power and the
lid is closed, and to hibernate if it is plugged in and the lid is closed.
This works fine when I boot with the AC disconnected. However, if I start the
computer when it is plugged into AC power and then disconnect th
Thanks. I ultimately did a horrible hack by creating a new X session that
uses env to set all the locale-related environment vars before launching
gnome-session. It works for now.
Hi,
I have the English and Chinese languages installed on my system, and I'd
like to be able to choose which one to use from the login screen. Currently,
if I want to switch the language I'm using, I have to open up Language
Support from the System Settings, drag Chinese to the top or the
