[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2062133] Re: Migration to the snap issues
As mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/2056434/comments/15 , if there is not enough free space for copying the .thunderbird folder to its new snap location, then the migration will not be done, thunderbird will open as new, and the user will not be notified at all. Creating a soft link will not do. Moving the folder from ~/.thunberdird to ~/snap/thunderbird/common/ did work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062133 Title: Migration to the snap issues Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: After migrating to the snap, I noticed the following: - the launcher icon disappeared (I guess it’s because the .desktop file is now "thunderbird_thunderbird.desktop" - the snap migration took a good 5 minutes on my machine (I guess it’s the copy of the email folder), without any feedbacks that something is happening if you don’t look at ps output. You don’t have any visual feedback about the migration and we should have a progress window (maybe zenity?) to reassure on this one time transition - all unread emails triggered notification (I guess it’s because the state is considered "New") on any folders. - I know have 2 15G folders now: ~/snap/thunderbird/common/ and ~/.thunderbird. I think the latter was the old one which is unused right now and it should be cleaned up after the migration to the snap?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2056434] Re: Thunderbird profile not migrated to snap
Thanks for your answer, Sebastien. I think you nailed it. There was not enough free space to copy the profile and the profile was not copied. I had tried to softlink my old profile from .thunderbird info snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird but that did not work, as I described, and it still doesn't. However, moving the thunderbird profile instead of softlinking did solve the problem. The maybe a problem, though, since some people like myself have massive profiles with years of emails, and users are warned about the root space they need for the upgrade, but not the space in the home directory. Specially if several users share the computer.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2056434] Re: Thunderbird profile not migrated to snap
Hello: Thunderbird still does not migrate my profile. My system works fine after ``` apt remove thunderbird snap remove thunderbird dpkg -i ~/software/thunderbird_115.9.0+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1_amd64.deb ``` but thunderbird gets updated every day (unattended-upgrades?, snap refresh?) and starts fresh, ignoring my profile. I have tried to delete the ~/snap/thunderbird folder, but it still does not migrate the profile correctly. Any ideas?

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 2056434 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056434
Hello:
I started with the same proble.
By following that advice:
`ln -s /home/pang/.thunderbird /home/pang/snap/thunderbird/common/`
my profile does appear in the list when I run `thunderbird -P`, but then
1. I get the following output
```

```
2. then a popup window appear with the text
```Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird,
you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or
use a different profile.```, and an "ok" button
3. When I click the ok button, the window closes, and thunderbird does
not raise.
Is this the same bug?
