[ubuntu-za] Help for two programmes: Geary Mail and Lightread RSS Reader

Wed Jan 16 12:49:42 UTC 2013

Hi all

Nope don't have two step verification which Lighted doesn't support. Its
already filed as a Launched bug.

I don't know how to compile from source but would be willing to try if
complete steps are given for both Geary and Lightread.

Thanks for the help
