A Testing ISO For Trisquel 11

Hooray!!!
Always great news to see Trisquel future looking brighter than before :D

Not that I will be able to test it, I need stable versions on my machine, but it's great news.

What install option would you suggest trying?

Does it matter whether the computer is using BIOS, UEFI or Libreboot grub to boot?

I burned the iso last night.

One question is what do I do with the keyring file? I haven’t used that yet. I just ran the sha256sum process to verify I received what the server had.

I haven’t installed yet but have really enjoyed the live distro this morning.

I had to mount my hard drive via command line and use Advanced Network Configuration to hook up to the network as my setup doesn’t use dhcp.

I shutoff some unnecessary services:
dundee.service, ofono.service, bluetooth.service, avahi-daemon.service

I used vlc to watch a video and saved a snapshot.
Opened the snapshot in GIMP and made a wallpaper.

Used RhythmBox to tune in to WSUM 91.7 FM (University of Wisconsin) and tuned in in time to hear Bob Dylan singing ‘Lay Lady, Lay across my big brass bed..,’ wow, my sentiments exactly!

Used Document Scanner. It picked up my HP OfficeJet 3830 series no problem and I scanned and printed a document successfully.

Also yewtubed to get some other music videos: https://yewtu.be/

I used LibreOffice Writer, Color Picker, Viewnoir, Mate Search, Mate Dictionary and Pluma

I see KdenLive is available via synaptic. I have recently been using slowmo and avidemux which aren't. I thing I got avidemux via guix before. If I install I'll try andyprough's instructions for installing guix. https://trisquel.info/en/forum/installing-guix-trisquel-10-w-luakit-and-ungoogled-chromium

I noticed firewalld isn’t installed and running by default but is available in the repository.

Though it took a long time to boot into the Live mode (not really unusual on this PC), once it was loaded, it was flawless and snappy. Overall, seems really nicely polished. So what is the time line for actual release. Are the packages available right now similar to what 10 has?

Not so fortunate ... the .ISO got burned OK; takes about an hour to start and install TQ_11_testing.

Got a couple of error messages:
"No caching mode page found"
and "assuming drive cache write through" in a few pairs; then
"failed to start CUPS scheduler"

But the local WiFi and Think Penguin's firmware weren't detected so nothing got
downloaded during installation.
Fatal error message:
The "grub-efi.amd64" packagefailed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB loader, the
installed system will not boot.

Upon shutdown and then restart, the grub menu came up without the TQ_11 operating system, but
apps featherpad and GPartEd had been lost from the TQ_10 operating system. Still no WiFi.

In order to make room for the TQ_11_testing operating system, I shrank a large data partition, then created
a 30GB ext4 partition for TQ_11_testing, and formed another ext4 data partition in the remaining space,
all with GPartEd. The partition holding TQ_10_nabia wasn't touched by these operations.

The Live ISO is working here.
I installed in textmode and got this issue here solved https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel10-skips-grub-menu
The second problem: tasksel is not working (I tried to select "Trisquel desktop environment" and/or "Trisquel mini environment") If I select nothing the installation can be finished. If i run sudo tasksel after installation and choose this two points like i wrote above it gives me
tasksel: Aptitude failed (100)
sudo tasksel install trisquel-desktop-common gives me the notice that it depends on hplip, but can't be installed. hplip depends on printer-driver-hpcups (= 3.21.2+dfsgi-2+9.0trisquel1), but 3.17.10+repack0-5+9.0trisquel1 should be installed

Bravo, can't wait for new release.

Thanks Trisquel Developers, cannot wait to test it out.

Sincerely yours,

Malsasa

Hi, I used the graphical installer on my notebook and choosed german as language and took a photo with my camera of it, because I first thought the text broke up before the sentence ends. See picture 2.
After that, I took a screenshot and opened it on my second pc. As you can see there, on picture 1 (in case your screen is better than mine on my notebook) there is a very, very light scrollbar (which is better to see when you are moving the mouse pointer over it), which is first not visible on picture 2, and I also cant see it with my eyes no matter in which degree I look on the notebook screen.

Maybe this can be solved with another theme.

The second thing: in german "Fehler"(german word for bug) must always be written with a big "F", not "fehler" as you can see on these pictures.

I wish the developers all the best, I stay tuned.

In aramo, here is what I have when I try to install evolution:

Does it mean aramo is missing some packages?

This worked after rejecting the first proposals, see log attached.

I wanted to install emacs (even for a non-programmer, it does very convenient things that other editors won't do, like rectangle area cut/copy/paste) but there is no package called "emacs".

I noticed "xemacs21" but I am not sure it is the same. I remember from a long time ago that it had extra fancy things that I did not like.

My current plan is to try using aramo as the default system on my desktop and see how it goes. Then I can report issues when they come, but apart from the missing emacs, so far it does all the things I need.
