[Bug 274797] [NEW] Upgrade makes thunderbird unable to open compose message window
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: thunderbird Just did the automatic update (Ubuntu 8.04) and now clicking the Write, Reply, Reply All and Forward buttons does nothing, nor does selecting Reply to Sender, Reply to All, Forward, or Edit as New from the context menu. Selecting Address Book from the tool menu gives the following error: XML Parsing Error: syntax error Location: chrome://messenger/content/addressbook/addressbook.xul Line Number 1, Column 3: url += SendChatInvite?listofscreennames= + screennames; --^ selecting anything else from the tool menu returns similar errors, with different XULs and XML extracts. About Us under Help does the same thing. I cannot find any XUL files in the Thunderbird profile tree. The problem is likely with the profile for this set up being kept in a non-standard location -- the .mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini is set to [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=0 Path=/home/x/profile/thunderbird/xxx.default This is in the local filesystem. I've had Thunderbird configured this way for the better part of a year, and have successfully sent email as recently as last night. I'm going to try to uninstall and reinstall, see if it fixes the problem.

PS: Get Mail works fine, as well as viewing mail and opening messages in new windows. -- Upgrade makes thunderbird unable to open compose message window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Standard uninstall/reinstall doesn't work. Will try uninstalling, clearing the profile.ini, and moving existing mail. -- Upgrade makes thunderbird unable to open compose message window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 274797] Re: Upgrade makes thunderbird unable to open compose message window
Reinstall with cleared profiles.ini and reboot gets a fully working Thunderbird. Changing the profile path in profiles.ini to the proper absolute path *does* get me to where I want to be -- my profile set up correctly, all my mail available, and I can send email. I'm wondering -- was it the reboot that did it? After the update this morning there was a message saying that Firefox needed to be restarted, but nothing about Thunderbird. I restarted them both anyways, several times. Anyhow, I'm back to where I should be, but I am now unable to test possible solutions to this problem. -- Upgrade makes thunderbird unable to open compose message window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
