and it shares a hardware-specific bug with the other Sugar Live systems:

* 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; sudo killall Xorg [Enter] then login as trisquel [Enter] [Enter])<BR>For gory details see [http://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-live-build/issues/20 sugar-live-build issue 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

The above link is the second testing release of TOAST 9.0 "Etiona", different from [http://us.archive.trisquel.info/iso/trisquel-sugar_9.0_i686.iso the 18 October 2020 release] which only had English and Spanish.
