I saw that there are new ISOs up here
http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/
and decided to test the 64-bit one.
I was not able to get a working display manager or desktop environment from the text installer or graphical installer. The text installer couldn't complete the step where I select a DE. The graphical installer appeared to work, but upon rebooting I got a black screen with no display manager. I opened a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and was able to determine that MATE was installed.
I have submitted a bug report and reinstalled Trisquel 8 from the previous ISO from 6/19. However, if I can I would like to test the new ISO to verify that these issues
https://trisquel.info/en/issues/23511
https://trisquel.info/en/issues/23470
are indeed fixed (23470 did not appear to be, as once I had a terminal open I could not find the firmware package via 'apt-cache search') and see if any other issues have been resolved.
Has anyone successfully installed Trisquel 8 from the 12/24 ISO? If so, what did you have to do to get it working.
The title of this thread was supposed to be 'trouble with new Flidas ISOs from 12/14)
Has anyone successfully installed Trisquel 8 from the 12/24 ISO?
I have. And both issues you listed are fixed. See https://trisquel.info/forum/testing-trisquel-8-upgrade-process#comment-125668 and below about that experience (trying to have a usable GNOME Shell). Above for my failed attempts to upgrade from Trisquel 7.
Do you have any idea what I might have done wrong?
I burned the 64-bit ISO using
$ sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M;sync
and attempted to install on a librebooted X60. When that didn't work I started over with a fresh download of the ISO.
The exact same steps work fine with the 6/19 ISO.
Those steps look correct. As I wrote in https://trisquel.info/forum/testing-trisquel-8-upgrade-process#comment-125646 :
I "burned" [the amd64 ISO of December 24th] on a USB pendrive (the FSF member card actually) using Trisquel 7's graphical "USB Creator" (or whatever it is called). Although it looks stuck at some point (at 42% and at 99%, when creating the permanent file), it all ended well.
I tried again with Startup Disk Creator and had the same problem. I just get a black screen with a cursors. Sometimes I get an iwl3945 missing firmware message, but I don't think that's the issue because it always happens in Trisquel until I blacklist the non-free WiFi device.
I tried running startx from a terminal and got 'xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused'. Then I tried 'sudo lightdm' and just got the black screen + cursor.
This time I also tried running live with 'Try Trisquel Without Installing' and even then had the same problem: just a black screen and cursor.
Could it be a libreboot issue? Is this the link you downloaded the ISO from? http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/
I did download http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/trisquel_8.0_amd64.iso
Instead of 'sudo lightdm', you should have executed something like:
$ sudo systemctl start lightdm.service
Not that I expect that command to yield a different outcome though...
The name of the package with the ath9k firmware (issue 23470) is open-ath9k-htc-firmware. It was added to the meta-packages and it was present when I lived-tested the ISO image, that's why I closed it. If you don't happen to have it, something strange might be going on.
Ruben was asking a couple of weeks ago about feedback from both the new beta images and the upgrade process. If you have the logs of your tries, it will probably be much appreciated.
I tried 'apt-cache search ath9k' and got no results, but given the other issues I was having I doubt my experience is representative of a working install.
I can't afford to go too many more hours without a working system, so I've installed Trisquel 7 and will use this as an opportunity to test the upgrade process to Trisquel 8, since I don't have enough RAM to test in a virtual machine. Next weekend I'll give the new ISO another shot. How would I go about saving logs of future attempts?
If you want to test the upgrade process, try to remove plymouth-theme-trisquel-logo first. Because last time I tried it, it had been fixed in the beta image but not yet recompiled for the repos, so it will probably still break your upgrade process.
I believe the insllation log should be in /var/log/installer/debug. If you find something outstanding, create a new issue or send it to the devel mailing list.
I thought the developers would read https://trisquel.info/forum/testing-trisquel-8-upgrade-process
Am I wrong? I found, among other things, "something outstanding". I wrote about it in https://trisquel.info/forum/testing-trisquel-8-upgrade-process#comment-125668 :
Now the weirdest thing, which may be a freedom issue: my internal Wifi card works! I do not need the USB adapter with the AR9271 chipset! As far as I know there is no free firmware for the chipset in my internal card:
$ lspci | grep Network
01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
That post is also in the list, for sure.
I have found that two new packages where added to dependencies before the last update: the open atk9h and another one named Linux-free-firmware. Try removing the second one and checking if the adapter works. If it still does, probably that means that the firmware comes with the regular Linux firmware and had to be debloobed but something went wrong. You probably should check with jxself, with quindam or someone with more understanding than myself.
