[Trisquel-users] Forum synchronisation with mailing list *still* not working

For several months I have not been recieving mail from the Trisquel-users mailing list, except for those posts which have themselves been posted by email directly to the list. A few months/week ago (I forget when) there was a tentative "fix" which resulted in 8000 posts being thrown at me

Oh yeah, Mini vMac is pretty good too, and GPL. You need to source your own system ROMs though. AppleWin is (was?) my Apple II* emulator of choice back when I used Windows. I haven't needed one for some time though... *sigh*. I miss the bleep noise and the ] prompt. It is GPL. Anyone know of

You realise the vast majority of "open source" programs also qualify as free software? As for an alternative, there's always the Free Software Directory (http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page).

How much RAM are you using without suspend tabs? Open a typical multi-tab IceCat/Abrowser setup and have a look at System Monitor. If the slowness is *really* bad, this may be because you have gone into swap.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How do you remove backports updates?

One more thing- if this present system is really important to you and you don't want to reinstall, one solution is to compare existing package versions with those in the main repository, and uninstall those with higher version numbers, reinstalling them from belenos, belenos-updates, and

Re: [Trisquel-users] How do you remove backports updates?

You're stuck in something of a rut now. The way apt works is that it compares the installed versions of packages with the versions available in repositories, and updates if a higher version number is available to replace the existing installed version. Without reinstalling or manually downgrading
