i updated to thunderbird 2 at the same time, so here is what i did: download http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ thunderbird2 and unzip it. copy the content (!) of the folder to your home into ./mozilla-thunderbird. open a shell and change to the mozilla- thunderbird directory. then type in ./thunderbird (not as root!). now you can leave thunderbird again and run it with ./thunderbird -ProfileManager . now create a new profile and just chose your old profile folder under "change folder". than prof that *all* files in your profile are owned by you, not root (use nautilus or ls -lha). make changes if necessary (e.g. by "chown you thefile"). run ./thunderbird.
thats all :-) please let me know if this does not work for you. -- Crash on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75286 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
