A fresh Trisquel Mini 11 Aramo install and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

After trying various options, I installed Aramo Mini again the other day. All went well and smoothly, no glitch whatsoever.
The only extra package I still need to install on top of a default Mini system is for the touchpad to get enhanced properties like tap-to-click: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. I am always installing Mini on the same machine, so it could be a rare specific hardware case, but I have seen Mini users inquiring about it a couple of times in the past. The touchpad experience just feels somewhat clunky without it.
As a side note, I noticed these four unheard-of services in the startup application list, and unchecked them:
GNOME settings overrides migration
Spice vdagent
Ubuntu Advantage Notification
Geoclue Demo Agent
Hello,
About the services you are mention, are installing from a LiveISO or from netinstall?
Regards.
The install was from Trisquel Mini live ISO.
I just noticed that the last three services are also present and checked by default on Trisquel (with MATE), also installed from a Trisquel live ISO.
You might like to remove spice-vdagent that package improves the interaction from the LiveISO (or installed ones) on virtual machines, I would argue is not needed on a standalone system.
About the ubuntu-advantage one, seems like we need to keep scraping ubuntu promotions from the update-manager, I'll be reviewing that issue this week, so we don't have daemons we don't use installing around.
Update: About the others I don't recognize them.
Regards.
Thank you, surely there was no perceptible difference after I unchecked them.
Some of them are likely making remote connections, though, and on Trisquel MATE, the "show hidden" box must be checked for those three services to appear in the "Startup Application" list. On Trisquel Mini, all startup applications and services are listed and visible.
UPDATE: geoclue-2.0 is recommended by redshift. I set lon/lat manually in /etc/redshift.conf, so I do not need geoclue, but that probably explains why that service is running by default on Aramo.
Removed geoclue dependency from redshift.
geoclue-2.0 seems to be used by other applications not only by redshift, most related to gnome settings present on trisquel-mini.
Please note that a clean trisquel install will not have any applications making remote connections.
So the geoclue-2.0 (and the daemon) might still be there, but should not ping anywhere.
The latest update on update-notifier will not install,
/usr/lib/update-notifier/ubuntu-advantage-notification
/etc/xdg/autostart/ubuntu-advantage-notification.desktop
We might still see some files even after upgrade, to trigger the complete removal please use,
sudo apt install --reinstall update-notifier update-notifier-common
or wait futures updates.
Also make sure to remove some config files at the home user directory like,
.config/autostart/ubuntu-advantage-notification.desktop
Regards
Thank you for these precisions.
Thank you both!!
I am planning to install Trisquel Mini and this was very helpful!
By the way, I just came across this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2611
"5 years later, everyone who’s going to migrate probably has migrated, so we can delete the script and remove a process running on every login."
So this appears to be a lonely residual process from an old configuration script, running sadly without a purpose in the background of Trisquel Mini. I believe it can safely be removed.
IIRC, the issue with conf files that live at /etc/xdg is that they get copied to the user profile, so even pushing an update will not remove that script from your current installation.
Only a clean netinstall installation or from new ISO images will prevent that scripts to land there.
I see, thank you. I unchecked the startup service, so the process is probably not running any more. My initial goal was to get an idea about what these startup processes were doing, so I could decide whether to keep them running at startup or uncheck them.
Then I discovered that long list of unchecked processes, which made me wonder why they were listed in the first place.
> most related to gnome settings present on trisquel-mini.
Is this for historical reasons, or are there specific services that require it, like screensaver, or fonts, or icons, or something? I would have thought that Openbox+LXDE would provide everything needed, but I never checked that in further details.
Sounds like a good project to dive into, anyone wanna jump in?
OK, I'll be off checking my diving suit.
UPDATE: attached my first discoveries (listed but unchecked startup apps).
