Trisquel 8 iso images updated

Finally!!
Thanks very much. I will try it now.
Best regards

Thanks for the news! What are the changes?

Nice to see Trisquel making so much progress.

Can't install.... it gives me error as superuser at installer ... the error happened during installation and i did noting. What is the problem with installer?

I did a second attempt and what appeared is: "We're sorry; the installer crashed. After you close this window, we'll allow you to file a bug report using the integrated bug reporting tool. This will gather information about your system and your installation process. The details will be sent to our bug tracker and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible."

It is still bugged... :\

I forget to take a pic of it..

It's still in alpha, so the installer probably just isn't quite ready yet. The important thing is that you can test it, and you only need the live system to do that.

Is anyone able to download via torrents or is this a problem that only I suffer from ?

I've installed it from a live cd and it works well for me. No Pidgin or Icedove but I assume more refinements will come :-)

I was able to install it successfully! It ran well.

Also, printer support seems to be missing. All in good time!

Accessibility support also seems to be missing. Glad to know the installer is working for some, and may progress continue.

Why not trisquel version based on Devuan with linux-libre ?

I installed Flidas. Here's an early screenshot after I cleaned things up a bit. I had to grab only part of the screen because at this point the gimp is not installable so I couldn't reduce the image to get it under the 2 mb limit.

Typing from Trisquel 8 now. It is running really well. The only thing I have noticed is that `libsdl1.2-dev` is missing from the repo so I cannot compile the latest `mednafen` from source.

Hello,

I was hoping to try Trisquel 8 as a live USB (actually a live microSD), but my USB wifi adapter isn't working with it.

Dmesg says:

ath9k_htc: failed to get firmware htc_9271.fw

I bought this particular wifi adapter because I read that it is free-software-friendly. It works with Trisquel 7.

How can I get this firmware loaded onto the microSD card?

Thanks for your help.

I've three problems, (with trisquel_8.0_i686.iso):
1) Can't do text install, (he can't find casper)
2) In graphical install, the installer crash during installation of language package, (italian in my case). Same problem of user "Apprendiz_de_linux", I think, (Gnu/Linux however)
3) sorry for my english eheh

Any solutions? I tried three times...

I hoped the stable version will be released in 2016. But not. I have dream that installing trisquel 8 in my desktop starting 2017,

Is this closer to final release or is an alpha-beta version?

Sounds like you should keep it in virtual, on a flash drive, or on a machine whose hard drive contains nothing important.

What are the biggest changes so far?

Installed the alpha on my Thinkpad X61s with an atheros 5k wifi card. Details at

https://h-node.org/notebooks/view/en/1330/ThinkPad-X61s

All seems to work. On a couple of occasions the wifi did not come back up after suspending to RAM via lid close. Seems OK at present, can't reproduce the behaviour. The MATE one panel configuration and theme look great and work responsively on what is now a fairly old dual core laptop.

I'm using mtpaint/krita instead of GIMP which is not installable at present. Alpha default install does not appear to have a PDF reader installed, so I'm using xpdf and mupdf. Print to file for PDFs and other documents appears to have very limited options e.g. can't print just one page or a selection. I'm just using pdfseparate and pdfunite commands in combination - tedious but it works. No texlive, R, shotwell, VLC or darktable at present due to library issues. Audacity/Audacious working fine when installed.

LibreOffice menus have that issue where a ticked box in the menu is hidden until you mouse over the menu line that contains the tickbox, e.g. View | Toolbars you need to hover the mouse to see the Formatting and Standard toolbars ticked. I recollect seeing this on other systems and I think that it is a theme config issue. Will try to google the workaround.

I'm getting errors about keys when running sudo apt-get update this evening. I shall keep the alpha install on this old testing laptop and see what happens as the libraries are resolved.

Is there a standard set of tests of any kind? Known bugs to reproduce?
