is parabola down ?
Hi everybody, I am a user of both trisquel for stable servers and parabola for my home, but it seems they have problems. They dont have a forum and every pages redirect to the wiki, we even dont have the possiblity to download the iso :( .
I am sorry to bother you with questions for another distro but parabola was good for my nvidia card because it installed the latest nouveau drivers, with trisquel I cannot manage to find a good tutorial step by step to install them. Even ubuntu people dont bother to make tutorials for nouveau, they say install the nvidia drivers (non-free).
I also think that the help in freedesktop.org is too complicated for me, I tried many times but I seem to do something wrong (or forget something) in the process. I dont understand very well how to modify a kernel etc.
So thanks, in advance for your answers I hope that parabola will comeback someday.
I noticed that a few days ago when installing Parabola. Apparently, their main server is down. I don't know why, but the repos still work and you can still download the iso here.
If you want a newer version of Nouveau and you're on 6, you can try installing the Trusty LTS enablement stack. Otherwise, you might have to compile X.org from source and/or use jxself's kernel.
Hey, thanks for your answer.
I already tried jxself's kernel without success. I didn't know about Trusty LTS enablement stack , and I really dont know how to compil xorg from source.
If you have some links, tutorials etc. that will be great.
Thanks again.
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty
You can get the parabola ISO's from here:

At the beginning of July their main repository had an extended maintenance, and about a few weeks ago their homepage started to redirect to the wiki. I have not heard of the reasons for doing so.
