Trisquel 10.0 RC feedback (3.0)
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
Hello and a great 2022 for you all,
I'll like to thank again for all the previous feedback in the previous 2 posts.
In the last weeks we have been reviewing and fixing the reported issues so this is a Release Candidate, so new and updated feedback is welcome.
The new nabia isos set are dated 26-Jan-2022,
In case you still experience details with downloading iso images, again, you could make use of lftp,
sudo apt install lftp
lftp -c 'set net:idle 10
set net:max-retries 0
set net:reconnect-interval-base 3
set net:reconnect-interval-max 3
pget -n 10 -c "http://cdbuilds.trisquel.org/triskel_10.0_amd64.iso"'
Where triskel can be any version you want to try.
Thanks in advance for your attention and we have to release nabia very soon.
Cheers!

Thank you for all the amazing work you guys are doing.
Is there any more danish translations needed? Like in the grub menu ect?

I decided to try installing it on my desktop.
At first, I have
graphics initialization failed
error setting up gfxboot
boot:
I typed "help" and enter, then I saw some text that I could not fully read as Trisquel 10 started. A little strange but ok.
My desktop main disk has (no encryption used):
- an ext2 partition holding /boot of Trisquel 9
- an extended partition holding a logical volume group in which there is
- a volume for swap
- a volume for root of Trisquel 9
- a volume for root of Debian 11
- spare space
I created a 30 GB volume for root and a 150 GB volume for home.
I launched the installer, selected the volumes and, when asking to proceed with installation, had a message:
No EFI System Partition was found. The system will likely not be able to boot successfully and the installation may fail.
Please go back and install an EFI system partition.
Currently, I have Debian and Trisquel 9 in the boot menu. This was done automatically after I installed Trisquel 9 and then Debian. fdisk -l says:
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 931.51 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos

/dev/sda5 1501184 1953523711 1952022528 930.8G 8e Linux LVM
Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Do I really need this EFI system partition?
If so, I am not sure what its size should be and how to create it without disturbing Trisquel 9, which uses /dev/sda2 as /boot. I also hope I can still boot Trisquel 9 and Debian after I installed Trisquel 10.
Do I really need this EFI system partition? If so, I am not sure what its size should be...
I received that same message months ago, when I tried to install Debian 11 on my current laptop. Looking at my partitions now, I apparently created a 536 MB (weird choice!) EFI partition... and 531 MB of them are free. That is why I guess you could create a smaller partition than I did (not that I really miss the free 531 MB: they are on a 120 GB SSD I only use for the system and the swap; /home is on a separate disk).
... and how to create it without disturbing Trisquel 9, which uses /dev/sda2 as /boot.
I would either try to do that from the installer ("Something else" type of installation or whatever it is called nowadays) or use GParted. I do not remember what I did, but certainly one or the other. Terminal programs (parted or fdisk or...) can certainly be used too.

Thanks for the advice.
Mistake: /boot of Trisquel 9 is /dev/sda1, not /dev/sda2.
When I installed Debian 11 on this desktop, I was not asked for that. I think I used what is called "text mode installer" (some kind of curses display).
On partitioning, I was thinking to make a choice between:
- split the space of current /dev/sda1 in two, one piece for the EFI system partition another for /boot of Trisquel 9
- move /boot of Trisquel 9 to the root logical volume of Trisquel 9, or a new logical volume, and use the space it was using for the EFI system partition
- trash Trisquel 9, i.e. use the space of /dev/sda1 for EFI system partition
I was thinking about 2. or 3. in order to avoid renumbering of devices but then I looked at Trisquel 10 mini that I installed on an old laptop, it has
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 4095 2048 1M BIOS boot
/dev/sda2 4096 1054719 1050624 513M EFI System
/dev/sda3 1054720 30351359 29296640 14G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda4 30351360 488396799 458045440 218.4G Linux filesystem
So perhaps this installer will even want to have a "BIOS boot" partition.
My current Debian system is my main computing system now, there are too many unknown things now, I won't try installing Trisquel 10 before I have a better understanding on how to do in order to avoid problems with my current system.

I upgraded Trisquel 9 on my desktop successfully.
Nice thing: with Gajim 1.3.3 from Guix, the OMEMO shield icons are displayed correctly, unlike with Trisquel 9.
Very unpleasant thing: this morning, very quickly, the Mate session froze, same thing like I had with Trisquel 9.
So I'll go on using Debian on my desktop, and Trisquel on my laptops.

Hello. I can see a build from yesterday with a FSF (trisquel_10.0-fsf_amd64.iso) variant. What does this mean?
It is probably related to this:
I am a member!
Oh, is that what it is? Like Markmus, I had also wondered about the FSF thing, so I took the .manifest files of the "FSF" ISO and of the vanilla ISO and diffed them against each other, and if I remember correctly the "FSF" one lacked some packages for LibreOffice help (in many languages) that the vanilla version included. So I assumed it might have something to do with those files or their licenses, but now that I think about it, it would be out of character for the Trisquel project to handle any such problem by offering two flavours.
A small note about the battery monitor on Trisquel Mini: as mentioned in the previous feedback thread [1], the battery monitor must be added to the menu bar. Once that is done, the alarm needs the libnotify package to work:
sudo apt install libnotify-bin
