I believe it will, unless you execute 'sudo apt install icedove=' to install  
it, as chaosmonk told you.

Thank you!
I will, for now, stick with it. At some point will have to think about  
finding another RSS solution (one that works well with Onion Services, and  
has good privacy settings).

Debian no longer has 68.x binaries for x86 architectures.

I guess you meant 60.x.  Anyhow, it looks like packages for both versions are  
available behind your link.   
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/thunderbird/icedove_60.9.0-1~deb9u1_all.deb

To be honest I was using it mainly for RSS... I had an email account there  
but it was already available as a JS-free webmail (danwin1210.me, great  
webmail service, available as Onion too).
As for RSS reader, I thought the Torbirdy addon was the safest way to use  
RSS. Guess I will be back at square zero :(

Maybe Mozilla has old releases of Thunderbird available for download, but  
after reading the issue you linked to, it sounds like your best options are  
to use Tails when you need to send an anonymous email, or to use JS-free  
webmail via Tor Browser.

It's no use, the same versions appear as they do in Synaptic.
Guess I could try downloading the deb file from Debian website, remove  
Icedove from my system and install it from the deb file... Dependencies are  
met already, so... Could work maybe...?

Thanks I will try that.
The link above explains the current situation for Torbirdy and 68.x
It might work in the future, but not anyone is able to solve it now.

Lucky for me, I always play things safe... The emails and RSS feeds I had,  
were all pointing to Onion services. At worst, my ISP DNS knows that I wanted  
to reach certain onion sites but not the specific pages I wanted to access  
(at least I hope so). AND the onion sites themselves didn't get my IP making  
a connection with user/password, so cannot disclose my identity.


[Trisquel-users] Re : Import public key

2020-04-25 Thread lcerf
I faced the same issue but found an imperfect workaround.  I downloaded  
https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/downloads/latest/enigmail/addon-71-latest.xpi  
and, in the gear menu of the "Add-ons Manager" (that you can display from the  
main menu, with the three stacked segments), I chose "Install Add-on From  
File...".  Although Enigmail appeared enabled in the add-ons manager, it was  
not.  The weird thing is: clicking the "Disable" button and then the "Enable"  
button that replaces it does enable Enigmail, which appears to be properly  
working.  Unfortunately, Enigmail has to be disabled and then enabled  
whenever Icedove starts.  I have not checked whether the same problem occurs  
for other (any?) add-on: I only use Enigmail.


At least on my system, the newer version of Icedove (which comes from  
flidas-updates, not flidas-backports: we have here, after Abrowser, a second  
exception to the stability rule) suffers from other issues.  There are  
display glitches in the list of emails.  Probably not Trisquel's fault.  On  
the contrary, the Trisquel project is responsible for substituting in  
inappropriate places several "Thunderbird" with either "Icedove" or  
"Trisquel".  Only in the "Add-ons Manager" tab:


The preference button is named "Trisquel Preferences";
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unable-install-add-on-extension-theme-icedove  
leads to "Page Not Found" because it should remain  
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unable-install-add-on-extension-theme-thunderbird
The text box to "Find more extensions" sends the search to addons.icedove.net  
which does not exist.



Nothing deal breaking but, well, it would be nice to fix those issues for  
Trisquel 9.

If you have not run "apt clean" you may still have the old version cached.   
Run


$ apt policy icedove

and see what versions are listed under "Version table:".  If you see a 60.x  
version, you can install it with


$ sudo apt install icedove=

You can then use [apt pinning][1] to prevent Icedove from being upgraded  
again.


> But I still need to get to 60.x since I need Torbirdy to work and there is

Why doesn't Torbirdy support 68.x?  Thunderbird 68.0 was released 8 months  
ago, and Debian, on which TailsOS is based, replaced Thunderbird 60 with 68 a  
while ago.

I suspected as much.

At least for now. Hopefully the TAILS team will be able to merge enough  
patches to upstream and things will be smoother in the future.
I was just mentioning that if for some chance some updates came along I would  
want them to be installed.

Why does Trisquel include older versions such as 45 and not have the version

First see whether the old version is still available in the repository.

Then you can try to freeze the version of certain packages using the package  
manager. However it is possible to cause dependency problem when upgrading  
other packages.


If you can't reinstall the old version, then try to contact the developers of  
the plugin to see whether they can update their plugin to support new  
versions.

Obviously, your USB drive was indeed "bootable", otherwise you wouldn't see  
syslinux's error messages, only that you have to correct the configuration  
files.


You may need to read syslinux's documentation. I recently tried to remaster a  
Debian Live USB and managed to make the persistence partition working under  
either BIOS or UEFI. To achieve this, I plowed through both syslinux's and  
grub's documentation, and succeeded on the second try.

Hey everyone,

Today I had some updates available, one of them being Icedove. I was using

how do I downgrade to 60 (to the latest version available if possible) ?
And how do I prevent it from being upgraded? I still want to get updates if  
it's 60. but not 68.xxx

[Trisquel-users] remastering trisquel 8 iso (having a problem with it)

tried to "remaster" trisquel 8 iso (64bit, default 2.6 Gb edition) using  
these instructions:

https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/customizing-trisquel-iso

resulting iso was only 2.2 Gb (the only change I made is installing tiny  
2048-qt package, to test if remastering process works)
after making bootable USB flash drive from it (trie twice: with rufus and  
trisquel's own "startup disk creator") and tried to boot from it


drive written with startup disk creator it refused to even start to boot, as  
if the drive was not bootable


with drive written with rufus got this error (instead of # and $ were "table  
corner" characters, no idea how to type them):

USB drive's root folder which references /isolinux/isolinux.cfg but after  
changing this reference according to changed folder/file name  I got exactly  
same error


any pointers on what may be causing there errors and what can I try to fix  
them?


or maybe alternative remastering tool or process?

The Fn+F5 only works when the hardware switch is on. Since the imperfect  
connection is a common problem with X200 series, it's recommended that you  
short the hardware switch. Do you still remember any details in the guide?
