Tips for Canaima GNU / Linux 5.0

Greetings, dear cyber-readers.

In this new opportunity I will comment on some outstanding technical tips that will allow those who currently perform tests on Canaima GNU / Linux 5.0, Venezuelan Distro based on DEBIAN 8 (Stable / Jessie).

Canaima GNU / Linux

First and taking into account that it is based on DEBIAN 8 (Steady / Jessie) You can optimize it by following the steps in any Post-Installation Guide for said Distro, such as those available right here at DesdeLinux. Net:

Additionally, it would be useful to know the following:

  • Repositories:

They no longer come by default in the sources.list file in the path / etc / apt / . If not they are on the road /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ in a separate file called «official-package-repositories.list ». I personally delete the contents of this new custom repository file from Canaima GNU / Linux 5.0 and insert into my standardized file sources.list the following content:

It is up to the user / technician to try to mix or not these original repositories with the originals of Linux Mint DEBIAN Edition - Betsy (LMDE Betsy), DEBIAN 8 (Jessie) or any other compatible. If that were the case, I leave them below for their insertion (mix):

Remember CANAIMA GNU / LINUX is a Venezuelan District created under the impulse of a open socio-technological-productive project, and jointly and collaboratively by many Venezuelan characters and institutions, centralized in the effort of the Governing body for Science and Technology (Ministry of University Education, Science and Technology - National Center for Information Technology) which collect the ideas, conceptions, tests, and other elements of a technological, community and strategic order, which give life to this Distro especially addressed to the different public, community and educational institutions of the country.

For the misunderstood CANAIMA GNU / LINUX It is a Distro that has been evolving for some time and currently in its version 5.0 (in Beta 3) it has come a long way as you can see in the following image:

Canaima GNU / LINUX release

And the use of CANAIMA GNU / LINUX in Venezuela it is very frequent in Venezuelan public schools and high schools, as well as in Bolivarian Centers for Informatics and Telematics (Cbit), and the Infocentres. In addition, the laptops of the Canaima Educational Project and Computers produced by the Venezuelan Public Company of Technological Industries (VIT) they work under this GNU / Linux Operating System based DEBIAN 6 and 7, and soon now in DEBIAN 8.

You can learn more about this Venezuelan District CANAIMA GNU / LINUX on its official website Canaima Free Software, learn more about its variants in its section flavors, and download the ISOs available in your section downloads.

If you want to know a little more about how Canaima GNU / Linux 5.0 is currently, I invite you to watch this YouTube video:

    Everything is perfect until you enter into a relationship with the Venezuelan government….

    As this is a professional learning site on Free Operating Systems, my most sincere, professional and ethical response to your comment is wise silence. Not even because I was remotely for or against what you think would I be able to answer a personal question through a professional channel. God bless you!

  3.   Miguel said

    Very good article, because of my internet connection I can't see the video, which desktop do you use by default?

  4.   Jose Albert said

    Kali Linux with Gnome!

  5.   Melvin said

    Thank you José Albert and with respect to Alejandro TorMar's comment, it is a shame that you think so, of the Venezuelan Government, because proud of being so, I tell you that the government is doing very good things that had not been remotely seen before, and that thanks to the economic war, and all the rottenness in smear campaigns poison and dissociate people but I bet on Venezuela I bet on my country, on free software and especially on canaima.

  6.   mantisfistjabn said

    To!!!! They added repositories with packages from LMDE Betsy (distro I currently use). One question, do you have Cinnamon available?
    And to think that if he were not moved right now he would be working in CANTV de Los Cortijos on Linux / Unix servers

  7.   Jose Albert said

    The 5.0 will come with Mate and Cinnamon.

    In my personal opinion I would like to see this Distro with LibreOffice 5.1, Firefox 45, Kernel 4.4 and no personal packages tied to native dependencies.

    Rest is

  8.   Jose Albert said

    I hope 6.0 is based on DEBIAN Testing so that you can use all modern plus KDE in its latest version!

  9.   José Alberto González said

    LibreOffice 5.1 does not frame (or is displayed) correctly on netbooks or computers with a 1024 × 600 screen, while LibreOffice does.

  10.   Rubén Flores said

    Hello José Albert. One question: Is it possible to upgrade directly from version 4.1 "Kukenan" to this version or can only be done a clean installation ?. Thank you

  11.   Jose Albert said

    I would never recommend that, but it is possible that by changing the repositories and updating the Operating System will survive and by running the lines recommended above and other necessary ones you will achieve the objective!

  12.   Jose Albert said

    Regarding LibreOffice 5.1 I have not noticed that, on my laptop and pc it adapts normally!

  13.   Inukaze said

    Good people, thanks for the article, I just have one question, is the "Stable" version of Canaima 5 ready?

    Well, I have made a guide for Debian Stable (Jessie) since I had it, where I never use third-party repositories (in the long run it always gives me problems, and they end up in conflicts between versions of libc, xorg, and other packages. important software), my method is to download and compile everything extra that is not in the repository manually and when compiling it takes what it detects installed in my distro of its necessary packages from its official repository, yes, if it manages to compile great it will be extremely stable 😀

    PS -> I use GNU / Linux distros since 1998, and since 2002 I use them to play XD

  14.   Jose Albert said

    Dear, time without talking!

    As you are always right, if one knows how to compile it is better to compile. Although many do not know and that is why it is better to use official repositories of compatible Distros. And pay close attention to the terminal packet dependency conflict resolution messages.

    And no, version 5.0 has not yet come out stable.

    Give us your access (link) to your guide and it would be good if you would write in this prestigious Blog. Would you like it?

  16.   Jesus Alejandro said

    Good morning, I just downloaded the cinnamon version I burned the dvd but when I started it asked for a user password, which was very strange since I wanted to install and from there I could not pass, I burned another dvd thinking it was an error but the same thing happens to me. The downloaded version is the Cinnamon ISO Image for 686-pae architecture.
    Thanks in advance

    Good Night Jesus Alejandro the key is Canaima

  18.   Jesus Alejandro said

    Good morning, yes, thank you, that's it. Coincidentally, in my state, I had a visit from Eng. Carlos Escobar "OBI WAN" that appears in the credits and he was able to advise me on the matter. We even installed your Canaima Forense package under this version of Canaima and it worked very well!
    Grateful for the help.

  19.   Jesus Alejandro said

    Señor Juan: to recover your "dead" canaima if it is 5 you must reinstall or flash the bios. there are forums where they explain how. I don't know if you can place links here, but googling you get it.

  20.   Angel said

    I installed the system but when I turn on my canaima I don't get the grub menu

  21.   Juan Carlos Soto Perez said

    Good afternoon, the article is very complete, I was able to install it on my laptop without any major inconvenience, thank you very much, but trying to install this new version in a small gutter I have come across a detail that I have not been able to get around: because in these computers it is The screen is small compared to other laptops, when starting the installation program, where the language is chosen, the dialog box does not appear complete, and it is not possible to access the lower part of it to give the option "forward" and not I have been able to move the mentioned box, so it is impossible for me to continue the installation process. Thank you very much for any tip in this regard.

    1.    jonathan ruiz said

      Hello Juan Carlos Soto Peréz. You just have to place the mouse pointer over the dialog box tab, double click and without releasing the mouse button, press the Alt key simultaneously and move the mouse to where you want to move the dialog box and it will move until it shows you the buttons that are bottom right

    Good morning I think it's excellent, how do I recover or install the elementary educational content in this version

  24.   José Bravo said

    Good afternoon friend, a pleasure to greet you, I have tried to install the Canaima 5.0 system in a Canaimita but when it finishes installing there is no load left in the booat menu, is there a solution for it? Thanks in advance. I have already searched YouTube and all over the web without being able to find a solution that works for me.

    As far as I understand, I think the Canaima 5.X repositories are not currently in service!

    Add yourself to this Telegram Group and ask about that or anything else:
