  • Latest Trisquel 6.0 LTS Toutatis development builds are downloadable here
  • Current release roadmap and related information can be obtained here
  • This page is forked from this thread for easy maintability
  • This wiki page is a duplicate of the official one available here
  • A List of bugs that threaten Free System Status can be found here
  • Minor bugs

  • Menu Bar icon background isn't transparent (Image)
  • Menu Bar text is hard to read (Image)
  • Text overlaps with the icon on the panel (Image)
  • Missing icons for some apps (Image)
  • "This system is based on Debian" text line is misleading (the correct sentence should be: Trisquel is based on Ubuntu which is in turn based on Debian) (Image)
  • Sudoku doesn't start at all (easily fixable by installing gir1.2-launchpad-integration-3.0) (FIXED in 20130302)
  • gnome-shell and gnome-session are conflicting packages (fixable by enabling the official Gnome 3 PPA as suggested by Magic Banana) (FIXED, probably in 20130301, but both packages have to be passed together as a parameter or gnome-session will treat unity as a dependency)
  • Occasionally when gnome-panel is first loaded on startup it will be invisible. Pressing ALT+F1 will show the Applications Menu above the invisible panel (could be related to this bug report)
  • #7753: Midori private browsing doesn't work
  • #7474: VPN connection missing the lock icon
  • Open Sound System (oss4-dkms) fails to install. This can be corrected by adding dpkg-dev to its dependency list and adding the following line to the prerm script (package control data): sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r|sed s/-generic//` /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
  • Feature requests

  • Include the latest Abrowser 19.0 (for out-of-the-box WebRTC support). This adds a video-calling functionality and serves as a proper Skype replacement while requires no extra space (FIXED in 20130224)
  • Backport Lightspark 0.7.1 into Trisquel repositories and include browser-plugin-lightspark package in the default install (for proper Flash support, including AVM2 and SWF 10). This can be easily accomplished by merely doing a copy-paste of packages from the official Launchpad repository
  • Trisquel uses old "Users and Groups" instead "Users" from GNOME System Settings like Ubuntu 12.04
  • Missing Power Manager Inhibit Applet from the Gnome Panel's Add to Panel menu list (important when watching online videos and don't want to be disturbed by the active screensaver). Compared to Gnome 2, other missing applets include Brightness Applet, Dictionary Look up, Drawer, Dwell Click, Lock Screen, Pointer Capture, and User Switcher (Image)
  • Missing System option on the Menu Bar applet (Image)
  • Other reports

  • Newly created accounts set as administrator do not have sudo access (easily fixable with 'sudo adduser NEW_USER_NAME admin' as suggested by Magic Banana)
  • Changing the Text scaling factor value in Advanced Settings makes long app names in System Settings to be cut off (System Settings just needs a restart) (Image)
