Trisquel 4.5 beta testing report (Jan. 14 .iso)

Another minor issue, related to branding:

• Evolution includes a .py scipt called "Ubuntu" that contains the simple signature "Sent from Ubuntu". We should have our own .py script, call it "Trisquel", and it should contain the signature "Sent from Trisquel GNU/Linux".

Suspend and hibernate work for me (intel graphic card).
I also have a boot splash, but I didn't make a clean install but an upgrade.
Exaile is now fixed.

Do you still see a boot splash when booting from the Live CD? I have not installed 4.5 yet, only tested it from a USB.

I confirm the suspend/hibernate problem. As soon as I installed Trisquel 4.5 on my laptop 2 days ago, suspend/hibernate stopped working. Whenever I open my laptop lid or start the computer after suspend/hibernate I get a blank black screen which does not go away. The only thing I can do is restart the computer from the power after this happens. I guess that is why you don't install development versions of the OS on the computer you use normally. :) I guess I should go back to 4.0 until this is fixed :(

Do you have an ATI/AMD Radeon card on your computer?

I'd like to know if this problem is linked to certain video cards.

Major issues:

• Suspend and hibernate (including suspending when closing the laptop lid) do not work correctly. Possibly this is dependent on my graphics card, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400. Can anyone else duplicate this bug?
• No boot splash

Minor issues: Fixed (Tested by me):

• Startup disk creator needs to be rebranded (not sure about this one did you mean the install CD? - SirGrant)
• Multimedia player in 'Preferred Applications' is set to 'rhythmbox' instead of totem or exaile
• software-properties-gtk (Software Sources) is installed but missing from the Main Menu.
• DuckDuckGo is not in the browser's list of search engines
• Pidgin IRC points to the ubuntu one (irc.ubuntu...) needs to be irc.freenode.net
• No file backup app in the default installation (I suggest Déjà Dup)
• gloobus-preview and handbrake should be added to the repos, as enough money has already been pledged for these crowd-funded tasks (Handbrake has been added to repos so that is fixed. Crowd funded tasks aren't automatically done just because they are funded. If they are never completed the funds are never collected - SirGrant)
• Evolution includes a .py scipt called "Ubuntu" that contains the simple signature "Sent from Ubuntu". We should have our own .py script, call it "Trisquel", and it should contain the signature "Sent from Trisquel GNU/Linux".

Fixed (Reported):

• Exaile crashes when you try to add any drectory to the collection

I am changing the priority to normal since the majority of bugs reported here have been fixed. I can't confirm the suspend/hibernate since I don't have an AMD/ATI video card or a laptop. However regardless support for slaine ends in approximately 4 months from the time of this posting. At this time this bug report should be closed.

Regarding the suspend/hibernate issue w/ ATI card:

Try editing (as superuser) /etc/default/grub and add nomodeset to the parameters, e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="whateveryouhadtherebefore nomodeset"

Then run (as superuser) update-grub and restart. This will disable kernel mode setting (KMS), which allows me to suspend/hibernate but does give me some graphical artifacts on my

ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) [1002:5955]
   Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:30a4]
   Kernel modules: radeon, radeonfb

Closing this issue as Trisquel 4.5 is out of beta.
