So this appear to be using the RTL8188SU chipset which is not free software
friendly. It'll be a no go in Trisquel.
Alright, no surprise there. I'll come back to trisquel at my first
opportunity.
Thanks again everyone.
Hello,
I am new to working with free software in any detail, was a moderately
advanced computer user years ago (mainly on windows, also on macs), and am
rusty now.
I came across a give-away computer with Opensuse, and was motivated to read
up on gnu/linux distros again, after intending
I am not used to terminals and have no assistance from anyone I know IRL.
Trisquel uses Synaptic Package Manager to install new programs, libraries,
etc. It has an amazing GUI that looks great and is easy for anyone to use.
Because of this, for the most part, you do not need to know how to use
Thank you.
After a moment, I was able to find a tip online about the su command for
super user privileges. Anyway, here is the output:

Yes, there is a way to make a USB installation device. Use UNetBootIn
(available in OpenSUSE's repositories as I found with Google) to put the
image onto a flash drive which then works exactly like a CD.
By the way, I'm not sure you need to switch. The sole reason the FSF doesn't
endorse
OKay... is there a noob-friendly step-by-step guide somewhere (using
unetbootin)?
I have not gotten my bearings in opensuse yet, I don't even know how to run
an .exe on this system (such as the installer for unetbootin), and I still
want to go ahead and install trisquel as the OS on this
Here's a newbie-friendly page I wrote on using unetbootin for another
wiki; hope it helps!

cyinn, .exe is Windows, DOS, OS/2 executable file. In GNU system with Linux
kernel it doesn't works.
Try to find this software in OpenSUSE on YaST Software Manager.
Or you can download the Unetbootin binary from official website for GNU/Linux
systems.
The command you ran will not tell us about your ASUS USB wireless adapter.
You would need to run a similar command though:
lsusb
That said it is probably not compatible. Wireless is a weak spot with
GNU/Linux and free software. The companies that design the chipsets are
mostly hostile to
Thanks everyone.
Dave, I get this message:
sudo: unbetbootin: command not found
Thanks Chris, for now I have no money to put towards my computer, but if that
proves to be the way to get wireless onto trisquel I'll get one of those when
I can.
Here is the output from the corrected command:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I happened to be using Open Suse when I wrote that page. Unetbootin
wasn't in the repos, as of 12.3; I got the binary from the unetbootin
sourceforge pages. There were a bunch of dependencies that were in the
repos, however. I apologize for any typos in that wiki; the whole thing
