Hello everyone!

I’m currently running Trisquel 11.0.1 without any issues, and I’d like to update to Trisquel 12, but running the new system from a bootable USB drive, I encounter 2 problems.

(1) I cannot connect to the Internet: the new system does not recognise my Ethernet connection via an adapter.

(2) There is a black frame around most windows, such as the file manager.

Follow this step-by-step (with screenshots):

Click on Trisquel Menu > System > Control Center.
Now open MATE Tweak > Windows > Window manager.

Probably "Marco (built-in: Xpresent)" is selected.

Now select "Marco (No compositor)".
After choose again "Marco (built-in: Xpresent)".

It worked on my Trisquel 12 Live USB.

Thank you, icarolongo, your instructions resolved the black border problem.

Regarding my Ethernet connection, it is now recognised, even though I didn't do anything differently; perhaps it was a glitch.
