Nice! Also I notice the Trusty kernels are available in Toutatis.

Installation on real hardware went smooth, autologin feature after reboot into system won't work (not a critical issue after all); since Mozillian browser won't make use of Gstreamer1.0 plugins properly in ver. 29 (just starting with 30), I'd recommend obtaining multimedia plugins bundled with totem dependencies.

Seems like there is CPU powered desktop accel @ HD4200 IGP Radeon thanks to llvmpipe (Gallium 0.4, LLVM 3.4, Mesa 10.1), although I would rather have just a 2D accelerated environment making use of full HD resolution (1920x1080) provided by my Samsung screen. Perhaps I'll try toying with xrandr and stuff. ;D

PS: Missing sys-settings GUI & tray bar needs more tweaking (e.g. Guake icon)..

I've just installed the trisquel_7.0-20140519_amd64.iso image on my laptop and everything works fine so far.

The text installation failed in the hardware detection step, but I could installed it from the live session.

After installing open-ath9k-htc-firmware my USB wifi card (TP-Link TL-WN821N v3 802.11n) works like a charm.

The only issue is that system config window is too large, being overlapped by the panel (the window is not resizable).

Good work, trisquel team!

Glad to hear that; Rubén, Jason, Chris.. cheers! (=

Ad.: RS880 chipset with HD4250 + HDMI & Gallium's llvmpipe won't make good friends. KMS module for Ati blacklisted..

Try resizing the panel instead of system settings window. Right-click on the panel and slect properties. I also find that we can now add applets from there which I would have never found that out otherwise. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Currently testing Trisquel 7.0 amd64 out on a very new Acer Aspire E1-570 and it works like a charm.

I'm loving the look and feel of it!

Keep up the great work!

Steve

Hey again,

Just noticed there being multiples of the same alpha images of Trisquel 7 on the images page linked above by jxself. Only difference is the dates and size.

For example:

trisquel_7.0-20140515_amd64.iso 15-May-2014 20:25 517M

&

trisquel_7.0-20140518_amd64.iso 18-May-2014 18:11 855M

I have installed the image from the 15th but have been keeping up to date via 'apt-get' so does that mean I am up to date or is a reinstall necessary?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Probably you should reinstall; the May 18th image has lots of new packages... just "diff" the "manifest" files for the ISOs and see the differences.

Installed the trisquel_7.0-20140519_amd64.iso on my Toshiba Satellite L500 today. Been running for several hours without any problems:) Thanks to Ruben and all for the great work!

Edit: Rarely use Friends (previously Gwibber) so didn't notice before, but there doesn't seem to be a way to enable online accounts via the menu or system settings - and Friends requires this. Installing gnome-online-accounts does not help. Unless i'm missing something i'll report it as an issue.

I'm not quite at the level to test, but I just wanted to say I'm looking forward to the official release of 7...and playing with a more stable version of the newer Pitivi!

I briefly ran the AMD 64 Trisquel 7 live image on a Toshiba Satellite, for which I have to get a free software-compatible wifi card; the included Intel is not supported. The wired connection works fine. I'm writing this from a netbook, on which I have installed the image, and have a fully-functioning system (almost). There is trouble connecting to a wifi spot for which there is a security key, using the network manager applet. Once I choose a network, I am never prompted for the key. I was able to open the Network Connections option in System Settings, and add the key that way. Once I connected, I did a bit of exploring and discovered that Orca screen reader cannot access the window list (I thin it's called)? I can access the menus and indicators, though, and this is more important. While I ran the installer, I had to frequently toggle the screen reader, in order to read the pages; the webkit slide show ran with no issues. The included gnome sound recorder and totem media players don't seem to work; the former will not record sound; the latter won't play '.pls' audio streams. Vlc and gnome-mplayer can play these, however. More observations to come, as I make them.

Hi Dave! What wifi card or adapter are you using on the netbook? You might need to install some firmware for it - if a libre one is available. Thinkpenguin have some good choices if you need a new adapter/card. I had to install firmware for my usb wifi adapter (in my case carl9170 from the Trisquel repo), it now prompts for the key and connects fine. I can also play pls streams on both totem and rhythmbox - try adding the bad and ugly gstreamer plugins.

Thanks for the reminder about the good, the bad, and the ugly gstreamer plugins; I forgot those! Maybe that will make Sound Recorder work, as well? Easy enough to try. The netbook is the Asus 1015PE, and its wifi card is well-supported by Trisquel. I think my key prompt problem is something involving Orca not seeing the dialogue. It happens on my Toshiba, that runs Arch GNU/Linux and with a non-free blob for its Intel wifi thing. I may buy a TP dongle for the Toshiba, and switch the internal Intel thing off; there's a switchon the front of the box. The Toshiba is a hand-me-down, and I want to keep it; It's faster and bigger than the Asus. Incidentally, do you use Orca?

Thanks,

Dave Hunt

I tested the latest image. Graphics are horrible on the nVidia card im using, and I get a lot of errors from the kernel.

Further testing on both my Asus netbook and my Toshiba Satellite laptop shows that, on the Toshiba, with a Core 2 Duo processor, system monitor has both cores used at nearly 100% and the fans are running at full speed. On the netbook, the average load on each core of the Atom processor is between 20 and 30%. With both machines, I see an error about leaking memory, on the first run of
sudo apt-get update
or
sudo aptitude update

in post @15, I reported a nearly 100% cpu load on both cores of an Intel Core2 Duo cpu. Further testing shows this to occur only when the Intel wifi radio is switched on, mechanically. When I switch this radio off, the load is more like 5 to 10% on each core. Does this kind of loading happen whenever an unsupported bit of hardware is in a box running Trisquel 7?

Installed on my desktop PC - dual core 1.3GHz processor, 2GB RAM. Runs very well. I was amazed by how it worked just as fast even in the live boot and during the installation too!

And, a small observation - Update manager shows Ubuntu 7.0 instead of Trisquel 7.
