Sorry yes I'll start a new thread in the future, sorry it's just I responded while you were responding so I didn't see that you had left your message. I thought it had been published so I was busy doing other stuff and when I came back I saw that it had detected my email and wasn't actually published, which explain the time discrepancy. Thanks, will start a new thread of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
