You are most welcome. I'll have to load up openSuSE in a virtual machine
just to see how it goes. Glad you got it sorted out.

I have been keeping up to date using the 11.2 Evergreen Repo.  I just
checked on one of the Evergreen machines and the newest level available
there is the one I have installed.  Yes, I now see that the Opensuse
Evergreen link says 2.8 is available but neither of the standard update
tools (zypper and YaST) agree.  Nor does
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Evergreen:/11.2/standard/ia64/
- no Seamonkey at all, the i586 branch just shows the old level.


I suspect for 64bit you'd use this one:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Evergreen:/11.2/standard/x86_64/
Unless of course you are running an Itanium processor... For that you'd
have ask if anyone has built an ia64 version.

This 11.2 repo shows seamonkey-2.7.2-2.2.i586.rpm:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2/i586/
And the same for 64bit:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2/x86_64/
[seamonkey-2.7.2-2.2.x86_64.rpm]

The 2.8 Evergreen versions are here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Evergreen:/11.2:/Test/standard/i586/
[seamonkey-2.8-2.1.i586.rpm]
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Evergreen:/11.2:/Test/standard/x86_64/
[seamonkey-2.8-2.1.x86_64.rpm]

As I mentioned, I only use Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora, so I'm not familiar
with openSUSE and/or Evergreen. Sorry I can't be of more help.



In the last 10 days I have had one machine where the root partition was 
damaged, files missing in /bin, /etc and somewhere else as well.  Only

Have you checked your distro bug reports for the same/similar issue? I'm
not familiar with openSUSE (I use Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora), but it looks as
if your distro 11.2 has moved along to 2.8:

Although the abort I get is the same as in your October 2011 link, the 
circumstances are different.  The one you pointed me at was an abort as 
soon as Mail was clicked / loaded.  In my case I can read mails/news 
with no problems at all, I discovered yesterday that I can write to this 
Newsgroup (the only one I ever write to).  My abort comes when I click 
to send a mail.


Looks like I need to submit a bug report against 11.2 Evergreen, at 
least for the missing products.

Thank you for filling in some gaps - I was looking in the wrong place.

The Novell Bugzilla does not accept bug reports against Opensuse 11.2 
Evergreen.  I can't point out that Seamonkey is no longer being updated.

Sorry, I cannot give you any worthwhile advice at this time.

Would it be possible for you to clear your SeaMonkey Error Console 
(Tools-Web Development-Error Console), put SeaMonkey through it's 
paces and then after it fails again, check out the error console and 
post the results heremight give those in the know a bit of useful info!

Firstly, it appears that I lied.  Nothing significant - it is 2 x x64 
and 1 32-bit setup.  The Error Console shows nothing at all.  Nada.
This is being sent from the 32-bit system, if it works then the problem 
is specific to Mail rather than News.

As you can see, sending to a Newsgroup was successful.  I then tried 
sending a mail (from a different account to the previous abort) and it 
died again.  This time the error-console showed something, but not 
anything useful.


SessionStore: The session file is invalid: TypeError:

Yup - I did not have anything in the browser window.  This message 
courtesy of another system where I don't have the problem, it runs
