I like the solution in your first link, altough I would also add the update
"-u" flag to those commands to make sure that newer files (newer by
modification date) don't get overwritten by older files with the same name.
So, if you have source folders named folder_a and folder_b, and an empty
>What's the equivalent of drive C:\?
On Windows, partitions have labels like C, D, E and so on. There is no direct
equivalent in Gnu/Linux. The a system like Trisquel does however allow you to
open, inspect and manipulate partitions (like those on flash drives) like
you'd expect on
Just as Piriponzolo said, you can check if there is any damaged partition,
and try to repair it.
Similar as in https://trisquel.info/en/forum/unable-boot , are there any
error messages? Do any show up if you use the "exit" command?
Looks like version 52.3.0 of IceCat is still in the repo, but it is not
listed in "Add/Remove Applications", which displays outdated data.
The same with Abrowser. Both can still be found and installed using the
Synaptic package manager, or just with apt directly in the terminal.
Ah, I remember that there was a bug where, if you enable portal detection,
Abrowser would always crash on startup, but only for some people. Apparently
it is still there. In that case, your only option would be to keep a second
Browser on your system for captive portals until the bug is
Login screen? You mean a captive portal? In Abrowser, captive portal
detection is disabled by default, which might cause your problem.
There used to be a checkbox on the main page that allowed you to enable
portal detection, but it seems to be gone now.
You could try enabling it manually: Go
To see a list of all installed packages, use the command:
dpkg --get-selections
You will get a list of packages. Packages with "install" (or whatever it is
in your language) are fully installed on your system. There may also be other
packages that you removed, but those will be marked with
After entering your error message into a search engine, I found several
people reporting the same problem with Ubuntu 18.04, which is the version
Trisquel 9 is based on, if I remember correctly. In the cases I found, a
critical component (libblockdev-crypto2) was missing because it did not
So one account works, but the other doesn't.
Did the same account work on Icedove before but only recently stopped
working? If it did work before, what changed?
Did you make sure that you entered the correct user name? (some server
software and setups require your log-in user name to be your
The qemu package got another security update recently, but it still seemed to
work for me. Is it just old images that don't work or do newly created images
also fail? Can you still load CD live images? Are you using bare Qemu on the
command line or are you using something like
Whoops, I meant to say that GpgME enabled clients are not vulnerable to
SigSpoof. I mixed that up.
The GnuPG package in Trisquel 8 does not seem to be vulnerable to maliciously
crafted embedded filenames anymore (which is the vulnerability that enabled
SigSpoof, as far as I remember). At least when I tested it, the embedded
filename got sanitized correctly.
I also checked Enigmail, and
Maybe this is the same problem as in the other Abrowser thread:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/abrowser-7201-wont-load-after-update

false in your ~/.mozilla/abrowser/[your profile]/{prefs.js,user.js}

Although the version of qemu in the Trisquel repo is a bit old, it is still
getting security patches, it's gotten one by the end of the last year, for
example.
It seems to take a few weeks for upstream (Ubuntu 16.04) to create those qemu
patches though, probably since 16.04 is no longer the
So /dev/sda5 may contain a damaged filesystem, and it might be an important
one. There are some posts on the Internet with problems kind of similar to
yours. Most of them recommend trying to fix the damaged partition, which
fixed the problem. Did you try running "fsck -y /dev/sda5"?
However,
Are the DVDs encrypted using the DRM scheme CSS? (see
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/enable-dvd-playback , however I did not check
if the instructions there still work right now)
If you already bypassed CSS, then I'm not sure what's wrong.
Could this be a device dependent problem?
One of my installs on an old second hand laptop works fine with the newest
Trisquel updates. (I don't have access to any other hardware right now)
What kind of device are you using? Is it an X200, like bsharp1157? Does it
have libreboot installed?
An SSD usually has more internal memory than advertised, so that wear
leveling (you can read more on "wear leveling" on sites like Wikipedia) can
be performed. This means that when you "overwrite" a specific address of the
drive multiple times, the SSD may write over different internal
I've just used Abrowser 72 on a fresh Trisquel 8 install and an old one, on
different machines, but it worked both times.
Did you try to delete Abrowser's config and cache files, to check if some old
plugin or setting is the problem?
Alternatively, does Midori (the default browser on Trisquel
