Hi, all!
I wish to thank the developers of this distro for putting the
accessibility, provided by the Orca screen reader, into the cd-sized
version, thus, no longer requiring that people download the whole I18N
in order to have accessibility automatically turned on when they use the
live media for testing and/or installation. Thanks, also, for
preserving much of the look and feel that Trisquel users have come to
know, while offering the improvements offered by Ubuntu 12.04.
After burning this image to a flash drive, I started it. The
introductory music seems to be missing, but Orca comes right up! While
I was exploring the bottom panel, particularly the indicator applet, it
crashed, rendering the whole system unusable via only the keyboard.
that is, I couldn't switch applications, use any of the shortcuts, or
activate the menus; only the application that happened to have focus
when the crash happened was accessible. I restarted the system by
mashing the power button. On the second run, the indicator applet did
not crash. I was able to check battery state, connect to my wired and
wireless networks, and explore the 'messaging' menu. Also, I could
navigate the rest of the panel, all with Orca support. I connected to
some web sites, banged some text into a gedit file, listened to a
favorite radio station, and shut the system down (properly, this time).
Startup and shutdown times are faster than in any previous Trisquel.
I urge the curious to check this out and report experience to these
lists. I can't speak to any visual issues, but would suggest that the
release looks nearly ready. My only issue is the instability of the
bottom panel. Perhaps I'll install this release to my hard drive and
give it more of a pounding.
Cheers,
Dave
I did try trisquel 6.0 on my PC it sems quite nice though in alpha stage...it is very light compared to Kubuntu 12.10
Well done Trisquel soldiers of offering the masses fully free OS.
Thank you all.

Although I found some bugs, such as a conflict between gnome-shell and gnome-session, it seems pretty stable! :-)

Hi,
I have just installed this version to my hard drive, and noticed that
the installer seems to have trouble contacting the Trisquel mirrors. On
the first two installation attempts, I had connected the machine to my
network before proceeding. I tested the connection by visiting some web
sites, and it seemed to work. After going through all the installer
pages, I noticed that the progress bar, on final screen, was stuck at
7%. I opened a terminal and looked at /var/log/syslog. Near the
bottom, I noticed all the "testing" lines, with the addresses of the
mirrors. For the third (and successful) attempt, I installed without
plugging into my network. All went well. On restart, after install, I
did a "sudo apt-get update", and noticed that all the mirrors were
reached, but transmission seemed slow. Maybe the installer hung up on
some time-out?
Best,
Dave

Hi,
Now that my new system is running from the hard drive, I have a problem
with the language support applet that seemed to launch automatically,
with a message about support for my language being incomplete; this must
be a consequence of my having done the install without a live network
connection. The applet is not accessible with Orca, and I cannot seem
to get rid of it. My language is US English, and I have yet to find any
gaps in the system's support for this. I'll look for something in
System Settings; maybe there's a way to disable this check?
Best,
Dave
