I have done something else...

Anyway this was a 3 day installation, I've saved before all the home directory and all selections in Synaptic. So, no real problems for recovering it all.

Frist, I tried to modify the /etc/fstab with a live usb bu doing

sudo mount /dev/system_partition /mnt

then

sudo pluma /mnt/etc/fstab

which worked pretty well.

But still no grub at all.

Back in the USB live, i've lauched Gparted and saw exclamation marks in the lines of the system, swap, home partitions.

In fact, not having any Grub at all when switch on the computer was a problem with... Bios !

The operation of modifying the fstab had changed the start of the SSD and HD drives in bios !

But I thought this was not the best way to use a computer an SSD and a HD drive on a computer.

So I decided to reinstall it all, which allows me to have extra space on the SSD to install other OS (this is what it's made for) and I've formated the HD in Ext4 (more stable than XFS upon your advices in a previous talk) and choose a /home mount point.
The whole HD drive is now dedicated to Trisquel.

I know I will have to keep a little space for a /home partition in case I'll install other os' because it can cause problems with preferences' softwares I'll launch with them.

I still can modify fstab partition in those future OS for having all privileges on them.

Do you have any advices to give me (making a sudo mkdir /media/user/hard_drive ???) ?

Thanks anyway
