Hi, Houston, we've problems...

I've never ever performed a GNU/Linux system upgrade.
What I would try is to test the live CD/USB you used to install. I mean maybe you didn't check, and it's corrupted.

Else, maybe it's just a matter of upgrading something (the system or even the kernel). Hopefully.
That's all I've got :/

How do you connect to the internet? (like with Wi-Fi or a cable or something) If you can get any internet connection working in some way, try installing Linux-Libre with the instructions provided here.

Do you actually have connected to your network? You can do this from
GNOME Control Center -> Network. Abrowser and `ping` can't access the
network if your computer is offline.

Believe me, what you advised is what I always do in the first place with any distro.

Although I can use the Wi-Fi, the updates I do through a wired connection, it is more secure. I did my step from Trisquel 6.0 to 7.0 that way.

“That's Logical, my dear Watson” :-)

"What does (in a terminal)

$ ifconfig -a

return as an answer ?"

I'm going to try. Then I'll tell you that happened.

Sorry to hear the Trisquel 6 to 7 upgrade didn't work so well. Me, I would either start over by reinstalling the good working Trisquel 6, or burn a Trisquel 7 'mini' install to a dvd and try installing from that directly.

But

You might try this regarding Internet connection
(you can do 'ipconfig \all' in Windows to learn what ip is working in Windows and repeat that with the gateway most likely being xxx.xxx.xxx.1 whereas your ip is xxx.xxx.xxx.not 1. My example below uses a fairly standard default home network - 192.168.0.0 but others certainly exist.)

In terminal:

$ ip link
---just to make sure what eth0 is called,
Mine is called enp2s0 but ifconfig -a shows that also so since ifconfig -a in yours shows eth0 I will assume it's safe to assume dev name is eth0.

$ ip link show dev eth0
---just to make sure it's UP,
---if it's not, try
$ ip link eth0 set up
$ ip addr 192.168.0.100/24 broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev eth0
---Guessing about your network. .255 is usually the broadcast address
---Also guessing that no other device already using .100.
$ ip route add default via 192.168.0.1
---in the above example, the router/gateway's ip would usually be 192.168.0.1

Then you need to add nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf, I use openNIC name servers but you might work to use your gateway as nameserver also. Additions made to /etc/resolv.conf may only be temporary as it says in mine at the top of the file:
"# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN"

if all that worked, a '$ ping -c 1 google.com' should resolve to google's ip address more or less instantly.
( I did an install recently that needed for me to perform these steps and I am reading from the notes I made, three other commands I noted I will pass on just in case they would be needed: $ ip addr flush dev eth0 - $ ip route flush dev eth0 - $ ip link set eth0 down - these will erase what you've done so you can start over)

Seems like some daemon that is supposed to set up your Internet connection isn't starting. NetworkManager maybe. If the above works you might have to do it every time you reboot because the service that is supposed to take care of it isn't running.

I thought it seems to be multiple issues and appears way above my pay grade although if it was me, I might choose to play around with it till I broke it completely. Thank God it usually all comes out in the wash with a fresh install! Heh, heh.

“Seems like some daemon that is supposed to set up your Internet connection isn't starting.”

@Magic Banana 170301 20:54

“I believe the service in question is "networking". ”

Your analysis and solutions often give results – in the theory and the practice - because I've done it with a couple of distros in the past. But this is not me with Trisquel 7.0.

“Seems to me that the configuration files are messy, so a clean install of Trisq 7 is IMO the fastest and best way to go.”

@Geshmy 170303 02:25

“Thank God it usually all comes out in the wash with a fresh install! Heh, heh.”

Heh, heh… }:-( That is what I did, buddies: Via torrent and from the official mirrors I downloaded the full ISO of Trisquel 7.0. Results: Download perfect, MD5 Sum, perfect, burned, perfect, and the report of the analysis of the resulting DVD – made before installing - declares that “there are no errors in the disk”. Everything is OK.

My mood deteriorates when I try Trisquel without installing. The same thing that happened to me with the distros that I mentioned at the beginning, it happens again: there is no connection to the Internet and it is not possible to use the optical mouse.

Even so, because I believe in miracles, I installed it and… NADA! The problems are increasing, we must now add a problem more: Trisquel 7.0 does not detect the USB.

MUA HA HA HA HA HA...! ( Again the devil laughs ).

I do not want to continue with this thread, that nothing is going to reach, not for lack of will of the some members of the Forum, but by the sad certainty that the developers of operating systems, applications, and cyber-security – very excited about the x64 – are deposed their interest in the hardware x32.

My computer was manufactured in January 2003. Yes, it belongs to the Jurassic, but still its components work quite well, and the same thing happens with hundreds of millions of computers all over the world that are still useful and which may work as always if there is software that is suitable to the characteristics of the hardware that operates in the realm of the 32-bit.

The sad fact of the matter is that most of the friendly people of the FOSS movement are already with the same trend that drives the developers of the closed code: To give preference to the x64, and sometimes with results that are regrettable.

It is impossible to talk, I think, about friendly and compatible operating systems with old computers like mine when this not is complying with the reality of the facts. Compare Trisquel 6.0 with the 7.0 one and you will see how much of Ubuntu there are between one and another. It is not negative take advantage of the free software from Canonical, the bad thing is - I believe - in do not check properly what it is that is being taken from them and to what extent is affecting a distro that is aimed by equal to new and old computers.

For now I want to leave my sincere thanks to those who took the time to read my case and contribute their ideas.

I very well know that is not advisable to do it, but while I am looking for an alternative amongst the diverse GNU / Linux distros offered in the Web, I must confess I came to the Forum thanks to Trisquel 6.0 newly installed on my computer...

MUA HA HA HA HA HA! ( Now I'm the one who laughs at the devil ) ;-)

Oro-san,
I appreciate your sense of humor in the face of frustration.

More than once I've just given up on a distro and moved on to try something else so I can relate. If you come back, we'll probably be here. MUA HA HA HA HA HA! :)

re dpkg -i

He has no internet in Trisquel 7 so there be other steps to get the kernel from 6 - off a Trisquel 6 install disc? Use 6 to download to a usb, oh no, he has no usb in 7. Could partition HD to accommodate dual boot, install 6 and 7 side by side, use 6 to download kernel (kernel, headers, what exactly) then boot into 7 and mount the 6 partition to get at the kernel. Just a little work that. Surely there be an easier way?
