Maybe try forcing a reinstall in Synaptic? Or aptitude will do it at the command line, not quite sure of the command if you don't have aptitude.

I don't think you've messed up the install just because one app is not running. Does it run from the Applications>Internet menu? Does it run if you use the full path (/usr/bin/thunderbird) ? Do you have any additional repositories active which may have installed a different version of Thunderbird to somewhere else other than /usr/bin/ ? Another possibility is the Thunderbird profile is corrupt. You can check this by running it with: thunderbird --profilemanager --no-remote That should bring up the profile menu in Thunderbird, and you can see from that if you already have one or more profiles, and create a new one to see if that works. If it does, chances are there is something wrong with your profile. -- JimP -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
