GNU isn't an entity, it's an operating system, and the FSF is responsible
for its development. The GNU Project is that development.
Hi jsebean,
I just tried to search your graphics card from www.h-node.org and it seems
that it is not reported. Could you report it? It would be very useful to
other people. Your comments would be especially useful in the comment section
since you managed to solve your problem.
t I would feel much happier to donate to the FSF if it actually looked like
they were working on an OS distro like Trisquel or even an official GNU
distro and keeping up with the new hardware that comes out.
GNU Guix?
FSF doesn't develop software, I think, GNU does (both are tied to RMS but
I am really disappointed by this. The FSF should build or stand behind in
some way and help fund an OS that keeps up with hardware support as the
drivers are released to make it easier for people to switch to free software.
If they did this I would go out of my way to try to support the FSF
jsbean, my recommendation is never to buy recent hardware as it isn't always
well supported by free software when it is released (not all bugs are ironed
out yet or it isn't supported in older software or the older software
requires configuration in order to use the new hardware). You can
You don't seem to understand though. If I do not install linux-libre's latest
kernel then the Xorg server will not launch. Trisquel 6 as it is does not
work whatsoever. And even after I update the kernel, I get no 3D acceleration
due to configuration issues that I have no idea how to
The bios issue is one that I would like to overcome, but I guess it's not
necessarily important as it's not something I change. I don't want an old
outdated system that doesn't have any 3D acceleration (I don't know the specs
on the Gluglug) but I know there are systems that do, such as
The gluglug X60 also supports 3D acceleration. I personally don't understand
the hype surrounding new processors - for me a computer from 5 years ago is
good enough as long as the screen has high enough resolution (your Acer
laptop I would find unusable because of its low 1366x768
You don't need to downgrade what you already have (just waiting will give you
support from the stable systems), but when it's time to get a new PC, getting
something that's been out for a while is going to be a lot less hassle than
something very recent.
Thanks for that, I wish they would elaborate more on the site as I can't find
specs specifically as to what type of CPU and hardware they have.
I don't look for fancy, I can't afford it anyway, 1366x768 works fine for me,
I just don't want something as slow as something like the Lemote haha,
Well with such a low resolution screen you are limited to other things, e.g.
you cannot view 1080P movies without downscaling them, you cannot edit and
view high resolution pictures since most of the information will not be kept
at that resolution, you cannot write documents or surf the web
1080p is not happening here. I barely get 1Mbps anyway, haha so typically I
can hardly watch a video on youtube at 360p, let alone 1080 or even 720. 480
doesn't even work :P. Torrents do not work well on this connection so I don't
do that, and I have no intentions of buying BluRay discs. I
You also should be carful about kde offering some media codecs or widgets
(don't know about this in detail) which might be proprietary.
I've heard that kde is doing this from time to time.
But beside of this you should be fine with debian jessie.
I never install anything that is from non-free and contrib, if it involves me
having to add those repos then I don't do it. That said I'd like to know if
anyone knows what kind of proprietary codecs KDE may suggest, I believe it
may suggest flash player on it's browser but that can be
About whining: I don't think he was talking to you. He was talking to
quantumgravity.
It makes no sense to me to tell people to switch to free software when the
majority of PCs out now cannot run it not because the hardware isn't
supported in free software, but because the latest releases of free software
OSes are behind in adding support for the hardware.
Yeah, I feel the
Keep in mind, the timing of the Ubuntu 14.04 release is pretty crucial in
this case. It sounds like you need a very recent kernel, and it sounds like
you also need a very recent version of some other software, like X perhaps,
that Trisquel 6 doesn't have. Basically, you need a bleeding-edge
Whining doesn't help. I don't see either of your names on the Trisquel donate
list.
You will never seen them on this list if certain things don't change;
as soon as I have a decent income (at the moment I don't) I will at first
donate to some much more fundamental projects like gnome or debian;
then I will donate to people who are working on free firmware and free
drivers as

Good to know that your problem is solved without having to use nonfree
software :)
Debian does a much better job than Ubuntu at separating free and nonfree
software (and that's why it's my distro of choice on arm, which none of the
FSF-endorsed distros support)
Not really solved perfectly but it'll do for now I guess until Trisquel 7 is
out, haha.
I'm hoping the Trusty enablement pack might fix the issue but I don't know.

Reinstall Trisquel as it is. avoid using the linux-libre kernel, this kernel
is not that well supported.
In my opinion is just a shaby kernel. Use the main one from trisquel cd

Sure, Ubuntu can be used in freedom, it's just not like that by default.

Quick Side note regarding the kernel version. The ValleyView drivers were

have no idea how.

I should point out that the FSF expresses no interest in developing its own
distro:

As for developing a distribution of GNU/Linux, we already did this
once, when we funded the early development of Debian GNU/Linux. To do
it
Try the LTS enablement stack from saucy. Simply run:
$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends
{linux-generic,xserver-xorg,libgl1-mesa-glx}-lts-saucy
Wow, lots of relies. Let's start top to bottom haha. :)

Just a curious sidenote getting back to the real issue. The installer of
Trisquel actually shows, that is how I can install trisquel (I don't use any
text based installer, not sure if there even is one?), however, it boots to
console after installing until updating the kernel. It also boots
Saucy has 3.11, but if it doesn't work, jxself said he's working on the LTS
enablement stack from Trusty.
Thanks for that. I installed the Saucy enablement stack but it utterly broke
the system haha. Black screen, I could hear Orca come up but I couldn't even
get to a console. So back to square one again, gotta reinstall. The farthest
I got was with the linux-libre repo.

Hello folks. So I have an Acer Aspire E1-510-2821 PC I bought from walmart.
It has Intel graphics and Atheros Wireless, but came with Windows 8 :/. I
wanted to liberate it so I figured Trisquel would be a good choice, but much
to my suprise, when I booted Trisquel it only booted to console.

Are you certain the Intel 2000/3000 works with Trisquel? I've got two laptops
with Intel HD 3000 and they can't decode 720p when I run Trisquel on them, at
least not 'out of the box'. The newer of those two is a Dell 15R, which also

To decode 720P via GPU using Intel graphics you need to use (for example)
MPlayer with Video Acceleration API (VAAPI) as the output driver. If the
version of Mplayer shipped in Trisquel isn't compiled with VAAPI support you
will need to compile a version of MPlayer yourself (in Parabola the

The GeForce 9500 from libre.thinkpenguin will work with 3D acceleration as
well. If you will buy that, you will not be restricted to Intel CPUs. If you
are not restricted to those, you can obviously take an AMD one, which will:
a) cost you a bit less for the same performance
b) allow you to
I believe the nVidia chipsets using the nouvau driver is for the most part
free. Trisquel supports it. I've been told that this is not 100% free though
and it relies on something that isn't free. I have not talked to Rubén about
it although I assume he investigated it and has removed any
Porting coreboot is a non-trivial task. It takes a long time and by the time
a board gets support it is not readily available.
AMD has cooperated with the coreboot project so the boards with AMD
technologies are better supported. The problem is AMD has not cooperated with
the free software aspect though and so the 3d acceleration won't work.
Intel on the other hand has cooperated with the free software movement in
