- On the text consoles and on reboot for some settings changes, there's a login prompt at which one has to guess that the username is trisquel and the password is [Enter]. Autologin would be better.

- With some nVidia video cards, Xorg's "nouveau" DRI driver bug which makes  github.com/login go all gray and affects other websites including gmail.com The simplest and least invasive fix is to delete ```/usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_dri.so```<BR>Hot fix on Live System: ```CTRL-ALT-F2 trisquel [Enter] [Enter] sudo rm /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_dri.so; killall Xorg``` then login as ```trisquel [Enter] [Enter]```)<BR>For gory details see github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-live-build/issues/20

- The alsa "Headphone" control is muted, so no sound comes out of external speakers. "alsactl init" fixes this but also halves the main audio volume, while "amixer set Headphone unmute" makes it work. That leaves the Headphone volume at 0 but some sound still comes out of the headphone socket.<BR>Hot fix: ```CTRL-ALT-F2 trisquel [Enter] [Enter] alsactl init [Enter] CTRL-ALT-F7```
