    Thunderbird will not what-so-ever configure properly???

    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:
    Code:
    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"

    Code:
    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 ?

    Unhappy Re: Thunderbird will not what-so-ever configure properly???

    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.
