[Bug 1849542] Re: Thunderbird empty after update to 19.10 - corrupted global-messages-db.sqlite
I applied the same workaround and it works. I've to tell you that upgrade is not the true reason. It happened to my UbuntuStudio 16.04 with Thunderbird 68.7.0 (64bit) and I've not upgrade anything. Yesterday night Thunderbird worked as always ... this morning had the issue. Thanks a lot for the workaround indeed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849542 Title: Thunderbird empty after update to 19.10 - corrupted global-messages- db.sqlite To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1849542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1849542] Re: Thunderbird empty after update to 19.10 - corrupted global-messages-db.sqlite
Agreed, deleting global-messages-db.sqlite is not really a solution, merely a workaround that people have come up with. We should get to the bottom of the issue. So it appears that thunderbird 68.x is not liking something that it finds in the database that was considered valid in earlier versions. This would be a functional regression in upstream thunderbird. @Gabriele, would you mind filing a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi#h=dupes%7CThunderbird and sharing the link to it here? I'm raising the importance of the bug, seeing that several users are affected. ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849542 Title: Thunderbird empty after update to 19.10 - corrupted global-messages- db.sqlite To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1849542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1849542] Re: Thunderbird empty after update to 19.10 - corrupted global-messages-db.sqlite
I have a similar problem (see #1859043) but my my global-messages- db.sqlite is not corrupted: it works fine on any Thunderbird <68. Deleting it means losing useful data like contacts, threads, etc… so it really isn't a solution or workaround. I am assuming people is using Thunderbird to manage their own data and not to lose it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849542 Title: Thunderbird empty after update to 19.10 - corrupted global-messages- db.sqlite To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1849542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem here. Release: Ubuntu 18.04.1 Package version: 1:68.2.1+build1-0ubuntu Removing global-messages-db.sqlite is solving the problem. Before removing (when empty), the Thunderbird shows me 70.1 version number, after removing it was 68.2.

[Bug 1849542] Re: Thunderbird empty after update to 19.10
Googling reveals that some ArchLinux users apparently experience(d) the same problem, as this pastebin reveals (https://pastebin.com/R2GESJqV): « If you experience the following output when starting Thunderbird 68 on Linux, the solution is to delete the file global-messages-db.sqlite in your profile directory. Example output from an effected system running ArchLinux: [following is a console output similar to that in the previous comment] » I can't find any reference to similar errors upstream, so I assume this is random database corruption.

I can reproduce the problem with the corrupted global-messages-db.sqlite. When using that file, the thunderbird main UI is mostly empty, the burger menu doesn't open, and opening application preferences or account settings from a "compose new message" window doesn't work either. ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849542 Title: Thunderbird empty after update to 19.10 - corrupted global-messages- db.sqlite To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1849542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
