Is there someone out there who uses Lightning on several different OS's

Set up SeaMonkey w/lighting for each OS. The install.rdf's are different
for Win and linux:
linux
{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}
Lightning

Point to the same profile (backup beforehand) and see if that solves
your problem.
I do not use the same profile on my Win10/Ubuntu linux dualboot - if I
absolutely need to ensure they are in sync I just use grsync/rsync
between them. That said, I have changed to primarily using Google
Calendar as the medium between both Lightnings (Win10-Lightning / GC /
linux-Lightning) and so far everything stays in sync w/o any real issues.
Thanks to those that replied. As I read the three responses, I started
thinking
"Am I doing thing wrong by, rather than setting up my Linux Profile and
then pointing to my e-mail files/bookmarks/etc on my Win7 drive, when I
set-up the Mail & News, I point directly to the files on my Win7 drive??"
So, that way, the Win7 Lightning would be in my Win7 Profile and my
Linux Lightning would be on my Linux Profile would be on my /home partition.

Right! Special care is needed if it comes to use one profile instance/copy for both OSs. That was solved with Reminderfox to use it with WIN and Linux (and should also work with OSX). RmFX stores the reminder ICS data as text files (.ics), so with saving we change the path notation (internally, no user interaction). With Lightning the situation could be more complicated, as said it has binary, OS specific components and the ICS data can be stored in a db. So there is no easy solution for SM/LG on Win/Linux. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Is there someone out there who uses Lightning on several different OS's that might be able to sort me out?? I'm not sure if it's still the case, but at one time parts of the Lightning were binary components, compiled for a specific OS. You'd need to install the Windows build of Lightning in the SeaMonkey profile used on Windows, and the Linux build of Lightning in the SeaMonkey profile used on Linux. The same build wouldn't work on both. There are certainly still different downloads of Lightning for Windows and Linux. Even if there are no longer binary components, there may be other things which prevent the same build from working in both OSs. While sharing a single profile between Windows and Linux installs might seem to work most of the time, as far as I'm aware that's not actually supported and can (as you've discovered) cause some issues. Another potential source of problems is that various filesystem paths stored in the profile are different on the two OSs, although from posts here it seems that doesn't generally cause noticeable problems in practice. In short, I think the problem is with neither the OS nor SeaMonkey, but with your configuration (attempting to share a single profile between the two OSs). -- Mark. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
