Hi thanks I will try that. I am using Ubuntu because Debian 8 is such a pain when installing new software. You need to enable testing and unstable repos and then you end up with a mixed system then things break down etc. Ubuntu 16 is for sure compatible with most software oob for the next 2 years. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
