I've been trying for days to configure thunderbird to run, if I install and run the icon it just kills.

When I use the:

System->Administration->Add Application
System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
or when I install with "apt-get" through term

I get:


seth@InsoBox:~$ mozilla-thunderbird
selected locale: en-US
/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/run-mozilla.sh: line 159: 10909 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
seth@InsoBox:~$


or some other similar error always a segmentation fault.

Under term I get this when installing with "apt-get"



seth@InsoBox:~$ sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird

Hi, I got the same error but I didn't get segmentation fault.
Did you find what's wrong ?

Yeah I went and removed everything completely and reinstalled and went to the Thunderbird Profile Manager setup my profile then went to run Thunderbird and got it fixed. works great@!

By "remove everything" I assume you mean ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/. I just renamed it to get it out of the way, uninstalled via synaptic and then ran 'dpkg -i mozilla-thunderbird'. No joy. I'm stumped by the same problem as josir.

FWIW, I uninstalled mozilla-thunderbird via synaptic, then I installed thunderbird 1.0.7 manually in /opt/thunderbird/. Now it's working fine.

i had problems trying to use my old thunderbird settings from hoary. I tried to keep the dir from /home and install thunderbird and everything broke.

I removed it all, and re-installed and all is fine now.
