[Bug 1797945] Re: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1
Comments #17 and #24 closed this bug report as being invalid but it was reopened as many users required a version of Lightning in a language other than English which could at the time of reporting only be obtained from the Thunderbird web-site. There have been no comments here for almost a year. The release of Thunderbird 60.9.0 includes translations in the Lightning package (xul- ext-lightning). This package is updated each time Thunderbird itself receives an update. Bug #545778, referring to Lightning being in English only, has been closed as being fixed so this bug report should be closed as being fixed too. ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797945 Title: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1797945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hey, Thunderbird maintainer here. While Ubuntu can of course keep the packages for thunderbird and lightning separate, please make sure to at least add "Recommends: xul- ext-lightning" to the thunderbird package as this is the expected configuration. (Or whatever makes it install lightning at the same time by default.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797945 Title: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1797945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

EN: Note:
This may be fixed in some Weeks, Months, or Years, so maybe you can try first:
> Thunderbird > Add-Ons > Extensions > Search for: Lightning > Install.
Problem:
If you use Ubuntu-Linux or another Debian-Derivative, Lightning is not included
in Thunderbird 60+ and the Update will break your Calendar (incompatible, not
compatible). xul-ext-lightning is not international. There is no Language-Pack
for Lightning available. The normal Search for Add-On leads to an incompatible
Version. Someone told me, the Beta was not recommended.

Workaround:
1.> Lookup your Version of Thunderbird:
> =Menu > Help > About Mozilla Thunderbird
2.> Download the same Version of Thunderbird fitting for you from here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/
3.> Open File with an Archive-Program(Unzipper)
> (Usually just > Double-Click or > Right-Click > open ..)
4.> Goto > thunderbird > distribution > extensions >
5.> {e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}.xpi (=Lightning) > Extract
6.> Open your installed Thunderbird > Add-Ons > Extensions
7.> (Remove unwanted english Version of Lightning: )
> (Terminal > sudo apt remove xul-ext-lightning)
8.> Gear-Wheel-Button next to the Search-Box
9.> Install Add-on From File
10.> Select Download-Folder and the .XPI-File > Install
=> All your Calendar-Data should be back. :-)

DE: Hinweis:
Dies mag in einigen Wochen, Monaten oder Jahren behoben sein. Probiere zuerst

Problem:
Wenn du Ubuntu-Linux oder einen anderen Debian-Abkömmling benutzt, ist
Lightning nicht in Thunderbird 60+ enthalten und ein Update wird den Kalender
abschalten (inkompatibel, nicht kompatibel). xul-ext-lightning ist nicht
international. Es ist kein Sprach-Paket für Lightning verfügbar. Die normale
Suche nach Add-On führt zu einer inkompatiblen Version. Jemand sagte mir, die
Beta sei nicht empfohlen.

Hilfs-Lösung:
1.> Sieh nach, welche Version von Thunderbird du hast:
> =Menü > Hilfe > Über Mozilla Thunderbird
2.> Lade die selbe Version von Thunderbird passend für dich von dort:

When I tried installing xul-ext-lightning , I got blocked, whether via the Synaptic Package manager or Software Center or using apt from the command-line. The essence of the error message was: xul-ext-lightning: Depends: thunderbird (= 1:38.6.0+build1-0ubuntu1) but 1:60.2.1+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 is to be installed I think I noticed that 1:38.6.0 was the version number of xul-ext- lightning; maybe somehow that got copied over into some field that describes the version of Thunderbird? I don't know, but in any case, that did not work for me. I followed Jeffery To (jefferyto)'s advice in #12, #15 and #21 (which are repeated in #28 and #32 (except step 5 is not as explicit as Jeffery's) and, I'm relieved to say, that worked. This is really a dreadfully convoluted way to handle the matter. I'm sure only a very persistent few will find it, and the rest will be bemoaning loss of important functionality.

It was broken for me also and comments from #3 and #4 helped. Calendar is very important functionality and sudden disappearance was very problematic. May be work with Mozilla and ask them to update documentation for Ubuntu so that others facing this problem will have a quick solution.

Hey, in my case the steps to fix it were as follows:
1. Download thunderbird tar.bz2 from https://www.thunderbird.net/
2. Extract it wherever you want
3. In extracted thunderbird folder you will find lightning xpi file compatible
with TB 60.2.1:
distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}.xpi
4. Open your Thunderbird 60.2.1 installed from Ubuntu repo
5. Go to Addons -> Install addon from file and choose xpi file from point 3
6. Restart Thunderbird and enjoy Lightning once again :)
Hope this helps.

[Bug 1797945] Re: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1
I'm affected too and thanks to the users here - especially piraten-kris
- we got an overview about the workarounds.
It was a bad suprise to start Thunderbird after regular Ubuntu update
with missing core-functionality. And it is very hard and time consuming
for an user to discover which SW-part is responsible for the misfunction
(normally you start with the plugin or the host program).
Therefore it was a surprise that Ubuntu is responsible for the error and
it is pretty annoying that automatically the responsibility will be
denied ("it's not our bug...").
Ubuntu must really asap correct this bug, because it breaks core
functionality of an application which Ubuntu take care of!

[Bug 1797945] Re: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1
Recent versions of Thunderbird (at least the version packaged / distributed by Mozilla) has come pre-installed with Lightning; this is why the extension hasn't been updated on addons.mozilla.org. The version of Thunderbird installable from the standard Ubuntu repositories is packaged by Ubuntu. They have chosen to package the extension as a separate package (xul-ext-lightning), so the most "correct" solution to this issue is to install that package. (xul-ext-lightning being English-only appears to be long-standing issue (#545778); if this affects you I suggest contributing to that bug report.) If you would still like to install the .xpi file (perhaps because of the locale issue): 1. Visit the Thunderbird site (https://www.thunderbird.net/) and download the Linux / Linux 64-bit version of Thunderbird, matching your installed version (60.2.1 in this case) and locale. It should be a .tar.bz2 archive. 2. Extract the archive, then inside thunderbird/distribution/extensions there should be one .xpi file.

[Bug 1797945] Re: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1
The solution with installing the package xul-ext-lightning definitely works, having one issue: the only language it contains is English, which looks very uncool to have a mixed language Thunderbirds for users using that in other language than English. Solution B: As we have already learnt, on the official add-on page of lightning there is only a version being 18 months old. This is strange, when you look at the new homepage of the add-on: https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Mozilla/Calendar/Calendar_Versions There you see the list of the add-ons for each new thunderbirds. At least their bug list references. If you continue searching, you find this link: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/ You may think, wow, we're done. No, not really. Check out releases: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/releases/ The latest release is the one being on their add-on page in Mozilla (4.0.3.1). Check out the candidates: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/candidates/ Candidates there for all new versions. Even 6.2.2.1 there for each language! Ok, we're done, since there is the 6.2.2.1-hu what I need. No, we're not done. There you only find the candidates. Stop searching for the releases, they are not there, and even not there the latest candidates which are listed on the projects home page (remember? the first link I showed). So, download the beta6, then you have a version which is usable - and having 'only' 21 bugs. https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/candidates/6.2b6-candidates/build1/linux-i686/ I'm using it, it's _quite_ OK, and Hungarian.

[Bug 1797945] Re: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1
One (temporary) option is also to downgrade Thunderbird back to the previous version (in my case 52.7). I used 'Synaptic Package Manager' to downgrade and lock in the old version. I'll wait a while before updating. There may be better solutions posted already but this is also one possibility for those who don't mind to wait a while. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797945 Title: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1797945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1797945] Re: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1
Same Problem today after "sudo apt upgrade" => from Thunderbird 52 to 60.2.1 (64-bit) In all my 3 Profiles Lightning had stopped working / disappeared. The First Profile had Lightning 5.4 installed as Add-On and now showed: incompatible .. deaktivated Second and third Profile: In the Past, Lightning had been automatically integrated by clicking "keep it" and now it had disappeared. Trying to install via search Add-Ons in Thunderbird only led to the incompatible 5.4. Also NOT helpful was: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/calendar-updates-issues-thunderbird (Entry in Config did not exist at all) There was also no change, when i started Ubuntu-Languages or so (DE: Sprachen) and let install additional Language-Packages including one for Thunderbird-EN automatically. (DE, which i use, did not show up as missing). What then helped in all 3 Profiles, was the manual Download and Install of a Lightning-Beta-XPI into Thunderbird: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/candidates/6.2b6-candidates/build1/linux-x86_64/lightning-6.2b6.de.xpi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797945 Title: Lightning incompatible with Thunderbird 60.2.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1797945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
