Hallo from Wales.

Last night I realised that my Trisquel was out of date, so went through the full update process so I am now in Trisquel 10. Almost everything has gone very smoothly, except (perhaps) that I am now having a problem with my printer. The key indicator is (several times) a message in the print queues window : 'processing-not
connected ?'

Obviously, I would appreciate any advice about this. But perhaps the first step should be to clear my laptop of all printers ? I have deleted several old ones which were still in the "printers' window, but as I poke about trying to solve this, they do in fact still come up in some of the 'choose' screens. And I don't seem to be able to delete the sole remaining one, to ensure a complete tabula rasa before attempting a reinstall ?

Alll suggestions welcomed !

I'm looking at upgrading my laptop.

I currently use a thinkpadx200 with windows and want to migrate to gnu linux

I also have a libiquity thinkpad with trisquel but want an addional one as well.

Is it possible to have Chicago95 to run on trisquel so I still feel at home with my OS?

So my wifi card is compatible with Trisquel. I have used it on other networks no problem. At work, when connected on Android device, you have to hit an "accept terms" button that automatically appears when connecting to the wifi.

On Trisquel, I can connect to the network but cannot find where to authentication is to connect. Is this fundamentally incompatible with Trisquel or am I missing something I need to enable/allow in the settings?

especially samsung and asus. 🙏

I'm just curious as to why the main browser in Trisquel isn't firefox. I realize there may be plenty of problems with FF, but I just thought I'd ask. Perhaps something much more secure, like LibreWolf, could be used instead. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey people,

I'd like to share that the latest osinfo-db has merged the update and integration of Trisquel 10 and 11.

These are great news as you'll be able to automatically install a VM with trisquel using gnome-boxes also virt-manager will recognize trisquel correctly.

These changes have been back ported to trisquel 10 and 11, so we don't miss out.

Enjoy your trisquel VM 🍻

I have installed Trisquel 11 on my T60 and X60 (both have 64-bit CPUs, and both are using the 2023-03-19 version of Libreboot). Here are a couple things I have noticed:

On both laptops, it is taking a couple minutes to get onto WiFi, either after starting from power-on, or coming out of sleep. If I run Mutt on my T60 right away, it will fail to connect to my email until I run it again a couple minutes later.

If I power on either laptop when the battery is very low (and I am charging it), it takes two to three minutes to get from the Libreboot loading screen to the disk-decrypt password screen for Trisquel. On my T60, I fixed this (for now) by powering off the laptop, removing the battery, and reinserting the battery, now it gets to the decrypt screen in twenty seconds or so.

Last thing, and this might just be a setting that I need to change. When upgrading to 11 through the software updater, I turned off sleep-after-ten-minutes as requested. Now, the laptop just wakes up when I re-open the lid, rather than presenting the password screen. I'd really love to get that password screen back, where would I find this setting?

I don't mean to be overly critical, I'm a big fan of the Trisquel project.

EDIT: I downgraded my X60 back to Trisquel 10, and now it starts up just as quick as before.

Have to say liking the new aramo on my thinkpad L570. works really really well. I also discovered on my particular L570 I could swap out the intel wireless card for one from a lenovo B50-30 ( an atheros) so wifi is working as well!

Hello people, so I'll like to make a little bit more noise, yeah as is all over the newsfeeds Trisquel 11.0 "Aramo" is now out. \o/!

First of all, although I greatly appreciate FLOS software in general and GNU-Linux in particular I am not at all what one would call an "expert". I am just an end user but likely not as knowledgeable about it as most of you probably are. I recently downloaded Trisquel-Mini onto my HP laptop. I love it in most respects. However, I decided to sign up for some online language classes via LanguageConvo https://www.languageconvo.com/ I tested the system ahead of time. They have a test where you record a short video of yourself and then play it back However, when it came time for the actual lesson my instructor was able to see and hear me just fine but I was not able to see and hear her. Is there software I should download from the package manager to improve the likelihood I could see and hear her? Thanks!

Hello,

Great news about the aramo upcoming release,

New Aramo Beta 3 ISOs, things start to move faster now that several heavy issues have been deal with, you might like to keep an eye on the updates.

Enjoy!

I've been going down the rabbit hole of free software, I'm very committed but it's not been easy as most of my hardware; even what i thought was freedom respecting hardware turns out not to be. My thinkpad rejects none whitelisted hardware like wifi cards and these "open source" products I have such as an AMD graphics card don't have free firmware.

I was wondering about the new Intel cards, my hope is that since they're still very immature that they'll crowed source as much as they can. I hear they have "Open Source" drivers but what about their firmware? Does anyone here know? Thanks.

Today is Wednesday of Development meetings at Trisquel GNU/Linux (#trisquel-dev at libera.chat) and now after the first hour I host a small chat, if you'll be interested on talking about Trisquel Development or Free Software in general, then you are welcome to join for the next hour.

Well, it's been sometime since the release of Nabia, aka trisquel 10 back in February

In the meantime of Trisquel 11 development, upstream Ubuntu dropped the well known debian-installer since Groovy (21.10)

This text installer has been part of trisquel since the beginning so in an effort to keep the support for this installer a long journey to bring it back began.

After several months of active development, we can now see through the challenge that debian-installer has become.

The first install test got completed on a x86_64 virtualized environment, and even when it's still a good amount of work ahead, these are great news to the quite small dev team.

Also these are great news for the future release of Trisquel 11, we're getting there.

Cheers! 🥂

I'm using Trisquel 10 with GNOME on my computer. I wanted to test Trisquel 11, so I edited my sources.list to the following:

deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/trisquel aramo main
deb-src https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/trisquel aramo main
deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/trisquel aramo-security main
deb-src https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/trisquel aramo-security main
deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/trisquel aramo-updates main
deb-src https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/trisquel aramo-updates main

After that, I run sudo apt update as usual, and did a dry run to see what would happen if I ran sudo apt upgrade. The number of packages to be upgraded appeared to be much less than what I had expected, and if I dry ran sudo apt dist-upgrade, many of my installed packages were to be removed outright. I re-checked the list of packages to be upgraded, and for some reason, GNOME was not among them. So I tried to upgrade GNOME explicitly:

jakob@deskob:~$ apt --dry-run upgrade gnome

	  apt needs root privileges for real execution.

	  so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome : Depends: gnome-core (= 1:42+3+11.0trisquel3) but 1:3.30+2+10.0trisquel3 is to be installed
	     Depends: cheese (>= 3.38) but 3.34.0-1ubuntu1 is to be installed
	     Depends: file-roller (>= 3.38) but 3.36.3-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed

	     Recommends: gnome-games but it is not going to be installed
	     Recommends: gnome-remote-desktop but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

It seems as though the gnome metapackage has the dependencies, notably gnome-core 42, built-in already, but the packages that can be installed still have the old versions. The version numbers of the installed packages in Trisquel 10 are the same. Is GNOME 42 just not ready for Trisquel yet?

Or did I make a mistake in my sources.list. I remember from when I used Debian that you had to disable the -security and -updates repositories if you wanted to run Testing, but I don't know if the same applies to Trisquel.

I recently switched to Trisquel on my work machine and would like to do so with my home desktop too, but I'd like to retain the option to play (nonfree) games. I know this generally goes against the spirit of a distro like Trisquel, but what can I say, we all contain multitudes.

My question is: can I do this with Trisquel + Wine? Is Steam an option? Is this all too misguided and I should just be happy with fully libre games?

Today we have the trisquel devel meeting at the IRC channel (on going at the time of writing).

I'll be hosting a live session to talk about development of trisquel and Free Software in general, as I've announced here.

Wednesdays 12:00 hrs – UTC -5 aka Mexico City time.

https://meet.switnet.org/TrisquelySL

Hear you there.

After a couple of weeks of work, we will soon finally see the update for icedove 102.x on trisquel aramo(11.0), following nabia (10.0) and etiona(9.0)

Major upgrades always come with some tricks under the sleeve and it takes a lot of testing to figure them out.

Enjoy!

So I'm looking into making a collection of older versions of GNU+Linux distros, and I have been trying to find the very first release of Trisquel 1.0 (I think is what it's called), sadly all I can find online are broken links or dead torrents. So where could I get an iso of Trisquel 1.0?

TLDR:Where could I find a iso of Trisquel 1.0?

I'm trying to install wine32 on my amd64-architecture laptop running Trisquel 10 Nabia, but I keep getting the following error:

I have installed WINE for amd64, and I have enabled the i386 architecture:

$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures 
i386

So far, I have tried to explicitly install the packages that are missing for libwine:i386, but, alas, there does not seem to be an i386 version of libpulse0? All of the installable packages are amd64 architecture?

$ apt list -a libpulse0
Listing... Done
libpulse0/nabia,nabia-updates,nabia,now 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.13+10.0trisquel1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libpulse0/nabia-security,nabia-updates 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.8 amd64

There appears to be an i386 version of libpulse0 in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories, but obviously I'm not going to make Franken Debian install.

When I try to install the i386 version of the other missing package -- libfaudio0 -- I get similar output as for libwine:i386, namely that there appear to be required but not installable packages.

I see that this is caused by some broken dependencies, but I don't know how to fix it by myself. If libpulse0:i386 has been removed intentionally, is there a particular reason for it? Because I'd guess that if there were licencing issues with it, they'd also apply to the amd64 version, wouldn't they?

I need some help installing Trisquel. After flashing the usb and booting into it i was presented with this GRUB screen instead of the usual trisquel install screen ive seen on youtube. When attempting to select the function keys like the installation troubleshooting guide says absolutely nothing happens. I dont know what to do, ive attempting to reflash the USB's on different computers and reinstall the ISO's as well and nothings working, i havnt had problems on this laptop with other distro's so i dont know whats the problem,

If anyone could help that would be very appreciated.

Grub screen after booting into the live USB

What shows up after selecting any of the options
