Fedora :: Installing Thunderbird 3.0.10 On 12-64 Bits?
Nov 3, 2010
recently the update notifier get me the news that I have to uptdate my Mozilla Thunderbird mail client (now version 3.06) to the newest version 3.0.10. Well, no problem I say to myself and I click in "Install updates" as I usually do. Well, the problem appeared: for this v. of Thunderbird I need the package nss-3.12-8 the update manager somehow does not retireve it and I have the last (not testing version ) of nss-3.12.7-6.
I thought then to install manually and downloading nss-3.12.8-2 from RPMfind and also its dependencies nss-softtkn-3.12.8-1 , nss-softkon-freebl-3.12.8-1 and nss-util-3.12.8-1 (all the versions for my version of fedora 12, and my architecture x86-64). All went well installing the dependencies of nss, but when I tried to install nss-3.12.8-2 I get the following message
Quote:
Errorrs in the proof of transaction: package nss-softokn-3.12.8-1.fc12.x86_64 (which is newer than nss-softokn-3.12.7-6.fc12.i686) is already installed
package nss-util-3.12.8-1.fc12.x86_64 (which is newer than nss-util-3.12.7-2.fc12.i686) is already installed
Well, in this way I could not get install nss and therefor also can not install the last version of Thunderbird!
when I reformat ubuntu, I use AptonCD to save packages and then restore them without downloading anything over again. what I want to know is: I have the 32 bits ubuntu installed and then I downloaded the 64 bits version. If i reformat to the 64 bits one, would the DVD saved aptoncd packages from the 32 bits work on the 64 bits installation?
I am wondering if I can install a 32 bits guest Windows XP in VirtualBox in my 64 bits Ubuntu Natty host? I need a 32 bits Windows to run some programs.
I'm quite new to linux and I recently (and courageously) upgraded the computer of my work from opensuse 11.0 32bits to opensuse 11.2 64bits.
Well, everything would be quite fine except that I still have some softwares 32 bits that have the 64 bits version available. I know that because, using YaST, I can see by the Installed software section that there are 'choices' of versions for some programs; these versions are 'i586' and 'x86_64', and many of them have the i586 version installed.
So, I wonder if there is some type of auto upgrade all programs which are i586 and have the matching x86_64 avaliable...
I just create a vm image with 2 CPUs to be used on a one CPU machine. it works great. Now, i am thinking about creating a 64 bits Redhat VM image to be run on my 32 bits machine. Is that possible?
About 7 years ago I setup a Redhat system with 8 serial terminals and 8 serial printers, this is still running but I need to get another system running so the original can be taken down for maintenance. The printers are ancient Newbury data dot matrix wide carriage with 7 data bits receive 8 data bits transmit Xon/Xoff flow control. Now I remember setting the transmit and receive data bits as above but after 7 years can't remember where.
I got heekscad_0.10.1-svn974_i386.deb to install on a Kubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.31-16-generic. 64 bits version not found. [URL] Of course I could compile ... If I knew where to find the source and the makefile...
Since I cannot find a deb of thunderbird 3.3, I would like to find another way to install 3.3 on maverick. I have no experience installing from source, so I may need to be coached through it step by step, but I am eager to learn and VERY motivated Why? I am trying to switch from gmail webmail to thunderbird, because of enigmail and privacy. However, I have been spoiled by gmail's elegance, and in order to get the conversation view add-on, so thunderbird still looks like gmail, the add-on requires the 3.3 version of thunderbird. The latest stable version which is in the repos (maverick) is older (3.1). I have already have done the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
then i downloaded the files and extracted to my home directory.now, according to the ubuntugeek, I should execute the following commands:
Code:
./configure make sudo make install clean install
but I have a few doubts:
1) Should I first uninstall thunderbird 3.1? and enigmail?
2) Where do I install it, so it can still find my mails and work as now?
3) If it doesn't work out, can I go back, and if so, how? Once installed, will it be uninstallable from apt or synaptic?
4) Will Ubuntu continue to upgrade my thunderbird once a newer version is available at some time in the future?
If anyone has any tips about building a pc I would be most grateful.
I am a bit concerned that the cd supplied with the motherboard may not be compatible with the linux system, and therefore I shall have to go on the 'net' to download the drivers.
I'm running Maya 2009 64 bits on Fedora 13 64 bits in GNOME Desktop and it's run perfectly, but the thing I cannot believe is the openmotif UI. I can't believe that a software like Maya on this gorgeous OS looks like a '90 MS-DOS program. Is there anything we can do from GNOME/Linux to change this? or this is a Autodesk lazy programmer that cannot rewrite their UI in at least GTK.
iomega prestige 1TB fails to mount on Fedora 15 32 bits. that machine has a USB2 port. /var/log/messages reports this in a loop:
[Code].....
on my Fedora 15 64 bit laptop, it crashes the whole box. (I'll post later the /var/log/messages extract). That machine has a usb 3 port. I'm most interested in making it work under Fedora 15 32 bit, but the crash under 64 bit may give other insight
I had a portable apps version of Thunderbird (windows) that runs off a thumb drive and wanted to take the settings and transfer them to my Thunderbird that's on my Linux computer.
This is what I did:
First, I installed thunderbird on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux box and opened it, and closed it (so that it would create the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder in the user account).
Then, I renamed the linux /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder to .thunderbird_ORIGINAL
Then, I created a new /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder
Then, I took the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableDataprofile folder and copied it to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
Then, I looked into the /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL folder and wrote down the name of the folder with the ".default" extension.
Then, I renamed the profile folder (that came from the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableData folder) "<name-I-wrote-down>.default".
And then, I copied the profiles.ini folder from /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
I opened up Thunderbird in Linux and everything seems fine! (I'll definitely be keeping a backup just in case)
My question is: is this fine and dandy, or a recipe for disaster?
Thanks to Lucid not working properly on i845, i855 and other 8xx chips, had to re-install Karmic on my mum's computer.I saved all the data from her old install and I ve managed to get all her old emails from thunderbird, but I cant import her address book.In Thunderbird/tools/import/addressbooks it only allows importing of LDIF, .tab, .csv and .txt files, but I cant find any of these files in any of the Thunderbird, .Thunderbird, Mozilla-Thunderbird or Mozilla folders in Home folder or anywhere, all I can find is "abook.mab" which IS supposed to be her address book, but when I try and import it the entries are blank and/or indecipherable (prob cos not a compatible file type).
Its one of those "simple" things to do, thats taken hours and hours of time, but that I cant actually find out how to do.
I run version 10.04 GNOME. My problem is (after substantial searching) that I need to have both users ('juliusz' and 'sarah') running Thunderbird but with the same profile (settings, email, accounts etc. preferably of 'juliusz'). The only results on the internet are share Thunderbird between Windows and Ubuntu.
I have two users juliusz and sarah. I need either of them to have the same profile, always in synch whenever they logon to own account. When I tried to edit sarah's /home/sarah/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini by inserting: Path=/home/juliusz/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default after i run Thunderbird for 'sarah' I get message: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." I checked with "ps aux" there is no Thunderbird running in sarah's session. There is no Thunderbird running in juliusz's session when I reloged to juliusz.
i finally tried to use a mail client other than gmail, and can't figure out how to Bcc someone. Evolution has a CC field, but i don't see how to make a Bcc field. Thunderbird doesn't show either one. Anyone know how to do this? Btw, it took me about 2 or 4 minutes to setup Evolution, but Thunderbird just asked for my email and password, and set itself up in seconds! I guess that i will be using Thunderbird, since it seems that they're not messing around.in thunderbird, once you already have an email address in the "To" field, you can click the "To:" label, and it opens a drop down menu, and then you can select Bcc.
I have installed 11.4, and it seems (seemed) to work OK so far. I installed Thunderbird via the opensuse "1 click install". the installation ran smoothly, but now a click on the Thunderbird icon does not activate any mail client; the only success is that Thunderbird icon jumps joyfully and then disappears.
grabbed the latest from mozilla... thunderbird 2.0.0.22 i run: ./thunderbird and get this: ./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
yesterday I updated Thunderbird3 beta 3 to beta 4 from yum. Then it doesn't seem to work well. Running Thunderbird, after some seconds, it gets freezing...
Is there anybody same with me? under 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE
I'm running F12 LXDE on one of my laptops and run Thunderbird as my preferred email-client on that laptop. But I can't seem to find a way, in Thunderbird, to change my preferred browser to Opera. I must be overlooking something..
When I double click a WMV attachment in an email, nothing happens.When I right click and save it to desktop, I can double click it and it runs!WMV is nowhere to be found in the list of applications of thunderbird..No option to add any new extensions, of course
Code: /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.1/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 10857 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$prog" ${1+"$@"} $prog is obviously 'thunderbird-bin'. I guess I should wait for an update?
EDIT: This happens due to a bug in gtk-oxygen-engine.
I have Thunderbird installed and I really enjoy it as an application. I would like to set Thunderbird to start on boot. I tried to locate the binary for it in /usr/bin/ but was not able to. Has anyone done this before or does anyone know how I might go about locating the binary for it?
I'm not a fan of Evolution. However, I like how it integrates with Gnome 3's UI. Is there a way to replace evolution with Thunderbird and still have it show the calendar when you click on the time?
