Trisquel 9 Issues

Both the graphical and netinstall ISO’s of Trisquel 9 wont boot if there is LVM/Encryption chosen during installation. This was not the case for Trisquel 8, just wanted to let the team know.

Hello!

I've added the 9.0 release to the issue tracker, so you can now properly tag issues related to Etiona.

Thanks for your help!

Trisquel 9 Beta - Multiple Monitor Support Seems to Be broken In Default Desktop

I can confirm that in Trisquel 8, I am able to have all three of my monitors show as separate screens. Upgrading to Trisquel 9, all of my monitors are forced into one screen, while it seems to still detect different monitors.

Screenshot I posted on #trisquel-dev: https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/veSCiHijIUNOawUUvorwRdSi

No window appears. The same error occurs when launching "Software & Updates" from the "Control Center" or from "Repositories" in the "Settings" menu of the "Synaptic Package Manager".

See here.

"Reset this panel" resets all panels. I suggest you change the English wording to "Reset all panels" or "Reset panel(s)".

Three other internationalization issues after installing a system in French (letting the installer download the updates):

• Setting up a French keyboard layout (the one proposed by default after you choose the French language) in the installer does not set it up in the installed system (only the American layout is present);
• Abrowser is in English because the abrowser-locale-fr package is not installed, but abrowser-locale-es is (and should not), and so is aspell-es (and not aspell-fr);
• Icedove is in English because the icedove-locale-fr package is not installed.

A minor piece of software, Freecol, does not run:
$ freecol
Disabling IPV6 network stack to work around bug #560056 on openjdk
If you experience problems with connecting to remote servers,
you can put it back by running Freecol this way:
freecol --enable-ipv6
Unrecognized option: -Xincgc
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Removing "-Xincgc" from /usr/games/freecol solves the problem.

Sound isn't working on my Etiona install at all. It was a clean install of Flidas using the text installer on the Etiona live disk. I immediately updated to Etiona and have kept it up to date.

Abrowser > Preferences > unchecking "When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" does not work. It has worked yesterday or 2 days ago, but it seems that it was restored.

Seems like all issues opened here were already addressed via updated and patches.
Please let me know if any of the ones you've mentioned keeps active.

Regards.

Feel free to reopen if you think something has been leaved out.

Regards.
