Today I (finally) updated from SM 2.49.1 to SM 2.53.6 on Linux, as shown
in my sig file.
On my Win7 installation (updated from SM 2.49.5), after the update, I
had Lightning starting at SM bootup, but not in Linux which I have
updated, today, from SM 2.49.1 .... yes 2.49.1.
Now I seem to recall that in SM 2.49.1, Lightning wasn't "inbuilt" but
by 2.49.5, it was.
So, when I updated my *Win7* SM from 2.49.5, Lightning worked/works, but
in Linux (now 2.53.6), checking the Add-ons Manager, Lightning is there
but I only have the option to "Remove" because "Lightning is
incompatible with SeaMonkey 2.53.6"
How can I get my Lightning up and running??
(Note: when I say I've updated SM, I mean I have installed Linux SM
2.53.6 in parallel (new location) with SM 2.49.1, but using the same
profile!)
From https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.53.6/
section "Known Issues":
Lightning or one of the distributed extensions is not showing up or is disabled
under Add-ons.
If the extension is disabled and can not be enabled deinstall it. If it does
not show up after restart do the following:
Enter "about:config" in the location bar.
Enter "extensions.installedDistroAddon" in the search field.
Reset the key of the extension not showing up using the popup menu with the
mouse. If in doubt just reset all keys, but this might bring back previously
uninstalled distributed Add-ons.
Restart SeaMonkey.
As an aside, I consider sharing a profile between 2.49.x and 2.53.x to
be a horrible idea. 2.53.6 may well change something which 2.49.1 will
no longer understand, 2.49.1 is then liable to decide the file is
corrupt and do something about it.
