Read this post before trying them. The installer has been reported to
work in a VM, but I have run into some issues when testing it on
physical machines.

Currently, you will get an error message during the "Select and install
software" step. When this happens, press Enter to continue. You will
see a list of installation steps. Arrow key down to "Install the GRUB
boot loader on a hard disk" and press Enter again to continue the
installation.

If installation was successful, and you want to install a GUI, you next
need to install xorg, a display manager, and desktop environment.

$ sudo apt install xorg

Trisquel's default display manager is LightDM. It currently does not
work. I hope it will be working after this Friday's meeting, but for
now as a temporary workaround you can use slim

$ sudo apt install slim

Trisquel's default desktop metapackages aren't in the repositories yet,
but several desktop environments are installable. I have tested MATE

$ sudo apt install mate fonts-ubuntu

and Xfce

$ sudo apt install xfce4

I have been told that LXDE also works. Unity is not installable at this
time. GNOME might be installable, but a few dependencies might still be
missing from the repo. Most other desktop environments should probably
work, but I have not tested them.

Some packages are still missing from the repo, notably abrowser,
plymouth, and lightdm-gtk-greeter. Hopefully most of the missing
packages will be added Friday.

Today afternoon I realize that lightdm-gtk-greeter is already on the repositories \o/!

Okay great! Then to anyone reading my OP: Instead of slim, install
lightdm with

$ sudo apt install lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter

Does this command install MATE + Ubuntu fonts, or is it installing the MATE Ubuntu fonts? From your statement above the command, I thought its for the DE but I wanted to make sure.

Also please try out with i3! (MATE + i3) if possible like you suggested to me before. I can't go back to anything else anymore, it has ruined all other WMs for me.

I'm very excited to test out Trisquel 9, thanks for the post

It installs MATE and also installs Ubuntu fonts. If you just install
MATE on its own without installing additional fonts then text does not
render properly. (This is not a Trisquel-specific issue. I've had the
same experience installing MATE from a minimal install on other
distros.)

> Also please try out with i3!

I haven't tried it with i3 yet, but I don't know of any reason a MATE+i3
setup wouldn't work at this time.

I know the feeling. I can't stand stacking window managers anymore.

Thank you very much for bringing us the testing image. However, it seems that the site hasn't HTTPS configured. I may need to first build an isolated environment (from my working environment, for security's sake).

Thanks for pointing this out. I've asked David if there's anything he
can do about this.
