Here's a useful link containing all of the tweets from the #Ubuntu / #Lubuntu user community here on Twitter, which I've tagged as #UsefulLinks during this #BionicBeaver #ReleaseParty #InstallFest.

For my next trick, I'm trying to configure #GnuPG v2.1 on my new #TrisquelGNU v8 machine, following the @GitHub instructions...

https://t.co/DKnVWF3jYQ

This isn't working for me at all. Can anyone help or offer advice please?

Yay, the networking is working in the guest OS now! I had to change the bridge from "br0" to "virbr0" to make it work. Downloading updates in the guest OS now, then I'll get the bi-di clipboard working in it.

First machine from my #Ubuntu #Lubuntu #BionicBeaver #ReleaseParty #InstallFest has been delivered as complete, but it has @TrisquelGNU #TrisquelGNU on it instead! 😆

I'm off to talk to the owner of one of the other machines tomorrow, and maybe talk him into Trisquel as well! 👌

Looks like I haven't quite worked out the networking in #qemu, #kvm & #virt_manager yet either. My #TrisquelGNU Mini guest has no Internet connection yet. I'll keep plugging on and learning with it though. Any suggestions or advice would be welcome.

@lenovo @fsf I got onto the #Trisquel channel on Freenode IRC and asked about this WIFI problem, and was told that my Intel WLAN adaptor is not fully free software compliant, that's why it doesn't work in #TrisquelGNU. Now using a USB WLAN adaptor, and it works fine!

While hoping for a reply on the video, next problem with the @Lenovo #LenovoThinkPadT420 on #TrisquelGNU #GNULinux is #WLAN driver. I have #Intel 6205, as per h-node, but it's not working yet. Any suggestions? Are there drivers on h-node?

@lenovo @Lenovo, for a definition of "#FreedomCompatible" hardware, as endorsed by the @FSF (as far as I understand it), see https://t.co/nBfXVXGfjA

I'm still learning about all of this, hardware that respects end-users' #freedoms.

@Czajkowski @leslielauralive Thanks for that, it just seemed relevant to me when I got the invite to follow your new Twitter account for your blog, while I was learning more about this #Lubuntu #FOSS dispute. Been following @lhawthorn here since I met her (briefly) at #LCA2015 #LinuxConfAustralia in AuckNZ.

On the eve of the latest @lubuntudesktop release, I'm wondering about the https://t.co/zbZXZSgoMe https://t.co/RidSQKWodu #DMCA controversy with @fossasia and @lubuntuofficial. Even Wikipedia doesn't seem to know what's going on! I've been using https://t.co/zbZXZSgoMe for years.

The limitation, from what I see on the @Lenovo website, seems to be the internal display itself, not the graphics chipset.

https://t.co/j5yFJYoPMA

External display can handle up to 2560x1600, but nothing better than 1366 x 768 on the internal display?

Before I go trying to fix something that isn't actually broken, can someone tell me please, the @Lenovo #LenovoThinkPadT420 video is currently 1366x768, is that the best it will do? Changing the #videodriver won't help? I'm using #TrisquelGNU v8.0 #Flidas #GNULinux i915 driver.

[ᏜᏠᎶᏠᏑ @Frittmann]

For myself, I'm now using #TrisquelGNU rather than #Lubuntu anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me personally, but I am keen to know what gives with the https://t.co/RidSQKWodu vs https://t.co/zbZXZSgoMe debate, with #DMCA threats being thrown around between #FOSS players.

[ᏜᏠᎶᏠᏑ @Frittmann]

I didn't get the "first subject" honoursᵃ, but maybe @leslielauralive will look at this question still anyway. I've seen other little digs between the two #Lubuntu website factions since I started this thread, and more users confused. #DevRel

@gKrishnaKS @lenovo @KeePass TBH, I haven't had a good look at the Acer for drivers yet. As long as it does FB, wifey is happy, haha. Device drivers? Who needs 'em! 😆

[ᏜᏠᎶᏠᏑ @Frittmann]

@gKrishnaKS Any advice on this please? Trying to get my video card set up in #TrisquelGNU v8, and it's in h-node as compatible for v7. I haven't done anything yet, so as to avoid having to uninstall stuff. 😆

Working on my @Lenovo #LenovoThinkPadT420 today, got problems with video & wlan in #TrisquelGNU v8. Video card is listed in h-node as compatible with #Trisquel v7. https://t.co/UCeh6SwdHd How to install drivers?

Just returned from a friend's place, who is getting the #CompaqPresarioC700 from my #InstallFest. Convinced him to change to #TrisquelGNU as well. I'm his local #Linux guru, so it makes sense to follow my lead. We all need someone to learn from. @MakerJakes taught me heaps! Thx!

[ᏜᏠᎶᏠᏑ @Frittmann]

@gKrishnaKS @lenovo Almost, but I was a good #Linux geek and used the CLI this time, using "lspci -nnk | grep VGA"

Yeah, I copy/pasted the command from elsewhere. I'm still a bit weak on my CLI-fu, but I'm saving the results of these in my hardware records in @Keepass. Easier with the text output.
