Trisquel gnu linux libre

Trisquel gnu linux libre

2015 foi un ano de calmo pero continuo progreso para o proxecto Trisquel. Non tendo programada unha nova versión durante ese periodo, centrámonos en mellorar o sistema de desenvolvemento e a infraestructura dos servidores, facendo a distribución máis confiable por mor das actualizacións máis rápidas e informativas. O noso veterán administrador de sistemas Santiago Rodriguez encargouse da dura tarefa de coller o código que produce os nosos paquetes de software e encaixalo nun sistema de integración continua, e mellorou o entorno de desenvolvemento con pbuilder -para os paquetes- e live-build -para os cds en vivo.

Ésta é unha versión de actualización progresiva, incluindo todas as melloras de mantemento y corrección de erros publicadas desde o lanzamento de Trisquel 6.0. Os usuarios da devandita distribución non precisan reinstalar, simplemente con empregar o xestor de actualizacións ou o comando apt-get dist-upgrade terán o mesmo resultado.

A versión 6.0.1 tamén incorpora algunhas novas características e melloras:

• Soporte para a instalación en máquinas con UEFI (versión amd64).
• Abrowser actualizado á versión 28, con mellores axustes de privacidade por defecto.
• Engadido o paquete co firmware open-ath9k-htc.
• Engadidos todos os ficheiros de.

Despois dun logo tempo de agarda, xa está dispoñíbel esta versión de Trisquel, baseada en Ubuntu Precise, e como ven sendo habitual, cheo das bondades do software libre. Continuamos proporcionando unha experiencia de usuario de escritorio clásico sinxela de usar e completa con todo o preciso para disfrutar e traballar con internet, ferramentas de oficina e comunicacións e utilidades para a rede social. A por ela, ¡antes de que arrefríe!

Novas características

• Linux-Libre 3.2
• Xorg
• Abrowser 19
• GNOME 3.4.

Hola, queridos amigos de Trisquel!

Fai dúas semanas enviamos por fin o primeiro lote de chaves USB de Trisquel aos nosos membros asociados. Enviamos unha mensaxe de confirmación ao ter os sobres listos, porque pensamos que algúns poderiades ter mudado de lugar de residencia dende o voso rexistro. Visto que soamente a metade das mensaxes obtivo resposta, agora sabemos que a xente tamén muda de dirección de correo electrónico 😉

Chegou por fin Trisquel 5.5 STS «Brigantia»! Esta edición levounos algo de tempo extra, pero valeu a pena, xa que pese a que pasamos por un grande número de cambios en varios dos compoñentes clave, acadamos moitas melloras ao tempo que preparamos o sistema para a imminente nova edición con soporte ao longo prazo. A xeito de compensación (moitas gracias pola vosa paciencia!), e debido á importancia da seguinte versión, escomenzaremos o traballo nesta antes do habitual, máis ou menos nun mes.

Northeast GNU/Linux festival

Programa

No que xa podemos considerar unha tradición, celebramos o Día da liberdade do software publicando Trisquel GNU/Linux 5.0 STS, a nosa última versión de nome en clave Dagda.

Hoxe lanzamos a versión estándar baseada en GNOME e a lixeira Trisquel Mini sobre LXDE. Os usuarios de Trisquel 4.5 poden actualizarse empregando a aplicación update-manager, sen necesidade de reinstalar o sistema. As implantacións avanzadas -servidores, RAID/LVM, cifradas, etc.

Logo de máis de dez mil descargas directas dende o lanzamento da versión 4.5 fai agora dous meses, agora publicamos unha actualización incremental incluindo toda-las actualizacións de seguridade e correccións de erros aplicados ata a data, ao tempo que expandimos ó conxunto desta edición cos sabores Mini e Netinstall.

Algunhas das melloras incluen un soporte mellorado de software para RAID e módems 3G, clientes fixos de transmisión de vídeo en líña, soporte para tarxetas Atheros USB-802.11N, e moitas otras.

Os días 1 e 2 de Xuño celebrase en Zacatecas, México, o II Congreso Internacional de Software Libre, no que o director do proxecto Trisquel falará sobre como se desenvolve e manten a distribución.

Trisquel gnu linux libre

They say that good things come to those who wait, and for this release there has been a lot of waiting but also plenty of good things. Trisquel 9.0, codename «Etiona» is our most polished release yet, thanks to the contribution of a very committed team of volunteers. This release comes in several flavors:

• MATE desktop, the default. Based on the popular fork of GNOME 2.x, this edition provides a classic desktop environment matching the user experience of previous Trisquel releases.
• Trisquel Mini, a lightweight version for older machines and netbooks. Based on the LXDE desktop environment and a selection of resource-saving applications to bring new life to your hardware.

We write today wishing you all a happy GNU year and to announce a great milestone for the Trisquel GNU/Linux project.

A couple of months ago, we were honored as one of the recipients of the Handshake Free and Open Source Software Community Grant, an amazing initiative of the Handshake Project which means that the Trisquel Association received an USD 100.000 donation.

These funds come from the contributions received by the Handshake project from their sponsors, which were pledged to be distributed among Free and Open Source Software projects and come with no strings attached. For those who are new to the Handshake project, you can read more.

Just as we release Trisquel 8.0, the development of the next version begins! Following the naming suggestions thread I’ve picked Etiona, which sounds good and has the fewest search results.

We currently do our development in a rented dedicated server in France, and although it is functional it has many performance and setup issues. It has 32 gigs of RAM, which may sound like plenty but stays below the sweet spot where you can create big enough ramdisks to compile large packages without having to ever write to disk during the build process, greatly improving performance. It also has only 8 cores and rather.

Trisquel 8.0, codename «Flidas» is finally here! This release will be supported with security updates until April 2021. The first thing to acknowledge is that this arrival has been severely delayed, to the point where the next upstream release (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) will soon be published. The good news is that the development of Trisquel 9.0 will start right away, and it should come out closer to the usual release schedule of «6 months after upstream release».

But this is not to say that we shouldn’t be excited about Trisquel 8.0, quite the contrary! It comes with many improvements over Trisquel 7.0, and its core.

Last week (on 12/08/17) we reinstated the Freedom Fridays, a tradition in which we hold periodic development meetings and post updates about the project at the end of each week. These updates were long overdue but since we can now consistently dedicate more time to the project, we hope to make fast progress on all fronts.

The main topic for this meeting was the status of the Trisquel 8 release, which is close to ready but still pending some important tasks. The most visible ones are the outdated Trisquel metapackages (essential for the netinstall and distro-upgrading processes to work) and.

2015 was a year of quiet but continuous progress for the Trisquel project. With no major release scheduled for the period, we focused on improving the build system and server infrastructure, making the distro more reliable through quicker and more traceable updates. Our long time sysadmin Santiago Rodriguez took on the big task of taking the original build scripts that produce all our packages and fitting them into a continuous integration system and improved the build environment with pbuilder -for packages- and live-build -for images.

This year will bring us Trisquel 8, codename «Flidas». We have already started the.

As in previous years, Ruben Rodriguez will be representing Trisquel at this edition of FSF’s annual conference LibrePlanet. The event will take place this weekend 21st-22nd of March at the Stata building at MIT in Cambridge, Massachussets. Ruben will give a talk entitled Browse in privacy and freedom with GNU IceCat. Special thanks to FSF for covering the trip expenses with a Scholarship, and to ThinkPenguin for doing so with the accomodation.

The Youtube channel LinuxActionShow will interview Rubén Rodríguez, Trisquel project leader, this Sunday 25th at 10am PST. You can suggest questions for the show at https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxActionShow/comments/2t7qwq/sundays_las_will_feature_a_trisquel_developer/

The show positively reviewed Trisquel in 2012.

As you may know, Trisquel is sovereign over its infrastructure. This means all of the services offered by Trisquel are managed by us, humans. We only rent the hardware and do everything else ourselves. Until now the git repositories were exported using gitweb and updated using shell accounts on the development box, but that has changed and we will be using gitlab for managing core repositories for the Trisquel project from now on.

These are exciting changes, specially the ability to allow developers to host their git repositories in the Trisquel infrastructure. Gitlab also allows for requesting merges of contributed code (also known as «pull requests» in the github world), so.

Version 7 of the Trisquel GNU/Linux distribution, codenamed Belenos after a Celtic sun god, has been released. Belenos is a Long Term Support release that will be maintained until 2019. Relevant new packages and features include:

• Kernel Linux-libre 3.13 with lowlatency and bfq scheduling by default.
• Custom desktop based on GNOME 3.12 fallback.
• Abrowser 33 (a free Firefox derivative) as default browser.
  • GNU IceCat 31 available as single-click optional install from Abrowser’s homepage. Complete with many extra privacy features.
• Electrum.

Update the Linux-Libre kernel

This tutorial points to easy and fast ways to upgrade your Linux-Libre kernel to a newer version, that may offer libre support to more pieces of hardware than the default kernel shipped with Trisquel, and possibly increase performance.

Using Trisquel-provided LTS enablement stacks

This upgrade method is probably the best one, because the packages distributed are adapted to Trisquel (based off Ubuntu) by its developers, who also ensure the packages are GFSD-compliant.

Citing from Ubuntu wiki: In an effort to support a wider variety of hardware on an existing LTS release [all Trisquel releases are LTS now], the 12.04.2 and newer point releases will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default. These newer hardware enablement stacks will be comprised of the newer kernel and X stacks from 14.04 (Trusty).

As these stacks are «comprised of the newer kernel and X stacks from» STS Ubuntu releases, that appear six months apart from each other, it may happen they are not up-to-date enough for some Trisquel users; if so, we suggest them to try the FaiF jxself’s Linux-libre repositories (see below, «Using jxself’s repository»), which will not necessarily support Ubuntu/Trisquel default configuration (e.g., AppArmor) or perfectly match their Xorg stack, but may run normally nevertheless.

Stacks for Trisquel 9 ‘Etiona’ (18.04 ‘Bionic Beaver’)

Linux-libre version: 5.3.0

$ sudo apt-get install —install-recommends xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 linux-generic-hwe-18.04

Stacks for Trisquel 8 ‘Flidas’ (16.04 ‘Xenial Xerus’)

Linux-libre version: 4.13

$ sudo apt install —install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-8.0 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04

Stacks for Trisquel 7 ‘Belenos’ (14.04 ‘Trusty’)

From 14.10 ‘Utopic’

Linux-libre version: 3.16

Little bash function

/.bashrc : and, after reloading

/.bashrc» or logout/login, or open new console window), run, e.g., «lts_enablement_stack utopic» to install the Utopic-originated HWE stack.

Stacks for Trisquel 6 ‘Toutatis’ (12.04 ‘Precise’)

Right now there is one supported LTS enablement stack, the one from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty or Trisquel 7.0 Belenos. The kernel and X stack that comes with Trisquel 6.0 (from 12.04 LTS) is also supported. If you installed an LTS enablement stack from 12.10, 13.04, or 13.10, you should upgrade immediately to the Trusty stack as those stacks are now unsupported.

From 14.04 ‘Trusty’

Linux-libre version: 3.13

If you installed an older LTS enablement stack, that command might fail so take a look at this bug for a workaround.

Verifying the support status

Run the following command. Note: HWE end of life is 2017. In Toutatis, with a Trusty enabled stack, the output is:

Using jxself’s repository

A big thanks to jxself for his work on maintaining this repositories (More information here: https://jxself.org/linux-libre/ ).

Add the repository:

Using add-apt-repository

2. Add the repository to your sources.list file.

Type in the terminal: $ sudo add-apt-repository «deb mirror://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freesh/mirrors.txt freesh main»

3. Download and add the Repository Key:

And after the download check that it’s the right key: $ gpg —with-fingerprint gpg.inc

Make sure that you see: Key fingerprint = F611 A908 FFA1 65C6 9958 4ED4 9D0D B31B 545A 3198

If it matches add the key like this: $ sudo apt-key add gpg.inc

4. Update the repositories:

We need to update the repositories in order to install the new kernel, so just type this in the terminal : $ sudo apt update

Installation of the new Linux-libre Kernel:

1. Run: $ sudo apt install linux-libre

2. Updating Grub: This is the last and most important step, for the simple reason that, if you don’t update the grub list, then you will not be able to see the and launch Trisquel with the new kernel installed (and that would be very sad after all those steps). For this last step just type the following in the terminal: $ sudo update-grub

Wait for it to end and just reboot your computer !

You are now running Trisquel Gnu/Linux with an awesome new Linux-Libre Kernel freshly installed.
