apt-cache policy thunderbird thunderbird: Installiert: 1:78.8.1+build1-0ubuntu1 Installationskandidat: 1:78.8.1+build1-0ubuntu1 Versionstabelle: *** 1:78.8.1+build1-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Bug description: Up to now I use ecryptfs for a private encrypted directory ~/Private, move the ~/.thunderbird folder to ~/Private and create a symbolic link ~/.thunderbird -> ~/Private/.thunderbird. Working fine in the past, but now Thunderbird popups a message dialog: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile." Error message is wrong, because there are no processes running. Starting from terminal shows: "JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/XULStore.jsm, line 66: Error: Can't find profile directory." When starting with option "--safe-mode" no warning is printed. When moving folder ~/Private/.thunderbird back to ~/.thunderbird (removing the symbolic link before), Thunderbird starts as desired without error. Same effect when creating a new clean ~/thunderbird. As soon as it is moved to ~/Private and using a symbolic link instead, Thunderbird does not startup. ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926258 Title: Thunderbird does not startup when ~/.thunderbird is symbolic link To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1926258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
