GST cookbook/Trisquel6
Trisquel Release 6.0 (toutatis) GStreamer Build Instructions
Tested on a Lenovo x201i by GChriss / 15-April-2013
Prepare live USB key as documented:
wget "http://cdimage.trisquel.info/trisquel-images/trisquel_6.0_amd64.iso.torrent"
transmission-gtk trisquel_6.0_amd64.iso.torrent &
dd if=/path/to/trisquel_6.0_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M
sync
cd /media/trisquel\ 6.0\ amd64/
md5sum -c md5sum.txt
Boot USB key in BIOS -> Install to disk -> Manual partition
Use a smaller '/' partition (~20GB), ~2GB swap space, the remainder as '/home', all primary partitions
Run through install prompts and reboot
Works out-of-box: backlight, suspend, audio, USB, 10/100 Ethernet, graphics acceleration, Atheros AR5418 Wireless Network Adapter (168c:0024 -- BIOS modification required)
Trisquel Menu -> System Settings -> Disable screensaver, screen dimming, suspend-on-lid-close, sound effects, window animations
Open Terminal:
sudo su
