I'm happy to help, but that's tough without knowing what specific problems you are encountering. Here are guesses, based on issues other users have encountered while upgrading from Trisquel 7 to Trisquel 8. (1) Make sure that the package "trisquel" is installed. You can install this package graphically with Synaptic or via the command line with $ sudo apt install trisquel See here[1] for information on installing software. If your system is so broken that you can't even get a terminal open, then instead of logging into a graphical session type Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a TTY. Log in there, and run "sudo apt install trisquel". Once Trisquel is installed, reboot. Then, at the login screen, look for a little icon next to your username. Click on it, and you will get a dropdown list of all of the desktop environments you have installed. One of them will be called something similar to "Trisquel" or "GNOME" or "GNOME Fallback". This was the default desktop environment for Trisquel 7. Another will be called "MATE". This is the default desktop environment for Trisquel 8, and that is what we want. After selecting "MATE", log in. If you have already done all of this and still have problems, we'll need to you be specific about exactly what those problems are in order to help you fix them. When describing each problem, tell us - What did you expect to happen? - What did you try? - What happened instead? [1] https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/installing-updating-and-removing-software
