Aramo ISO Beta 3
Hello guys,
As the development start to polish more and more details here and there, after several fixes we have now the 3th (and very likely last) beta ISO image for Aramo.
The main changes from Beta 2 ISO,
- console l10n/kb layout issue has been fixed.
- wpa_supplicant is now on every trisquel-meta desktop package (wifi is back on liveISOs)
- gnome-online-accounts, no longer promotes by default questionable third party services.
- new fully supported and accesible display manager greeter, artica-greeter
- trisquel-sugar fixes applied, still pending work.
Known issues,
- As any other beta, artwork is pending.
- One Trisquel Sugar activity still pending.<(li>
- Multi arch installer support for arm/ppc64el still pending.

All the feedback is welcome, current and new issues will be followed/tracked at the Trisquel's GitLab instance, please ask for your account at the devel mailing list or the #trisquel-dev channel.
Thank you all for all your previous feedback to all early testers and the community in general.
Cheers!
May the 3th be with us!
Successful installation on NovaComputing NV41 laptop here -- https://configurelaptop.eu/nv41-series/ -- using trisquel_11.0_amd64.iso beta3 both via Try before install (no LVM) and direct Install from boot menu (with LVM). Wired network connection with builtin RJ45 using r8169 driver. Wireless (technoetic TET-N150) works fine both on installed system and on the live trisquel, but did not work from netinst (complains about missing firmware?). With netinst, when I select LVM it hang running 'lvcreate' for some reason. Anyone tried LVM installs via netinst? I want a GNOME desktop environment, so the netinst approach would save some unnecessary packages from being installed for me. Will try netinst more to see if I can debug the problem further.
Update: netinst without LVM was successful, but the Swedish keyboard layout I chose was not configured properly on consoles after first boot.
Update^2: netinst with LVM fails due to locking. Even booting netinst on a system with LVM partitions fails during partition detection when LVM hangs.

what console-setup version is running your system?
The system is now running '1.205ubuntu3-11.0trisquel5'. Indeed, it could be a mirror issue, I'm using http://ftp.acc.umu.se/ as the apt mirror.
Btw I blogged about my experince with Trisquel 11 on this laptop: https://blog.josefsson.org/2022/12/10/trisquel-11-on-nv41pz-first-impressions/

Hmmm, this version was supposed to fix the issue, could you try,
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
About LVM that might have introduced on later changes, as we used, LVM, LVM + Encryption successfully on earlier versions.
Thanks, that solves it after the install. LVM issues only happened with netinst beta3, it worked fine with the live DVD.
Yeah before the Beta2, 3 or 4 (09-Dec-22) we were working to release the netinstall, successfully installing LVM and LVM with encryption.
So, maybe it got introduced later on.
This has been fixed on the latest netinstall images for aramo.

Cheers.
Jas/Simon, I was afk on IRC when you showed up, you can also request the gitlab account at the trisquel-devel mailing list.
Or maybe next time we can meet at the Wednesday development meetings hosted at #trisquel-dev.
Thanks for bringing those details.
Regards.
Just checking in to say that I have taken beta the 3th for a spin and it is a very sweet ride so far. I avoided the Cthulhu tentacles of the Yaru theme thanks to Prospero's reports from the 3th circle of Yaru hell. Great job devs, I gladly accept this wonderful Christmas present from all of you.
Does 'ifup' and 'ifdown' work for others? It does work fine for me, but it does print an error message as well:
/etc/network/if-up.d/resolved: 12: mystatedir: not found
This is via a minimal netinst installation (beta3) but with many other packages installed afterwards.

Seems to be a known bug affecting from upstream,

Will check it this week.
Regards.
I reported a bug in Mate-Panel, but it might appear that it is centric to Trisquel 11.

I've since installed Trisquel 10 on my system, and haven't had any issues. My apologies for the brevity, but I'm fairly new to the Trisquel distro. The system I'm currently testing on is an X200.
