Ubuntu :: Latest Thunderbird On Lucid Lynx From Stable Mozilla Channel?
Nov 11, 2010
I am using Lucid Lynx (10.04.1) and I use Thunderbird from the official Ubuntu-Mozilla PPAs:
[URL]
I see that each release of Ubuntu has only one supported version of Thunderbird - in case of Lucid Lynx it is 3.0 series. Is it possible for me to upgrade to 3.1 on Lucid Lynx through this official channel? I don't want the other two solutions to achieve this:
1. Download the latest Thunderbird directly from Mozilla website (No. Updating it manually for the next release is a pain and I don't want to get into it)
2. Upgrade to Maverick (No. I prefer LTS releases and want to stick to Lucid)

I have been doing periodic net-based dist upgrade since 7.10. Currently I use 9.10. Now that 10.04 is out, I want to upgrade to the latest LTS version by doing a clean install, instead of using net-based dist-upgrade.
Since I use Firefox, and Thunderbird, I want to keep the passwords/bookmarks I have stored in firefox, and mail/account settings (for multiple email accounts) that are in Thunderbird.
While I know I can copy the hidden profile directories for each, and back them up for recovery after the upgrade by copying them into the new 10.04 after install is complete, I don't know if this is recommended, prudent, or if pitfalls await me. Since I want to do a clean install, and, since 10.04 uses different versions of both Thunderbird and Firefox,
1. Would it be prudent to back up/use the existing profiles I have in 9.10, or should I bite the bullet and just start fresh with new profile setups when I finish installing 10.04? 2. Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of if I will be restoring a profile of each from 9.10?
3. Or, should I continue to do net-based dist-upgrades to 10.04 so appropriate profile changes can be made by the new versions of Thunderbird/Firefox software?

Is it safe to put my old .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird folders from xandros 4.2 into OSS 11.3? I have apps, emails, and settings that I would like to keep. This might seem like an over precautious question, but I've broken Xandros more than once. I would hate to do it to OSS.

i have ubuntu 10.04 installed and i haven't touched anything apparently relevant in its configuration. many times, when an application opens a new window and this should receive focus, it doesn't. for example, i'm in mozilla thunderbird and i click on "write" to write a new message, and i keep waiting, "why does it take so much to open???" - until i realised that the new message window was immediately opened but it didn't get focus, it is just blinking (in a barely pereivable way) in the panel on the bottom and i have to click on it to give it focus. it is not just thunderbird - just about any program, but not always. sometimes the same happens when switching some flash player web application to fullscreen mode (such as videos or megavideo): the full screen does not appear, i have to click on the icon on the panel on the bottom.
sometimes, even more weired behaviour are observed. for example, let's suppose i have windows a, b and c open and none of them is minimized. i'll call "icon" a window's button on the bottom panel. i click alternatively on icons of windows a, b, c, a, b, c and so on. expected: every time i click on a window's icon, the window should get focus and be brought to the front. observed: when i get to window a, it toggles its state from open to minimized and viceversa, that is, when i switch from c to a, it does as if i was already on a, so instead of bringing it to front, it minimizes it; then next time i come back to a, it gets restored.

"requires installation of untrusted packages" roadblock in updating Ubuntu10.10, I downloaded and installed 10.04 LTS, hoping it would be reasonably hassle free. I've used it prior to my 10.10 upgrade, so I was very surprised to learn it doesn't support Mozilla Thunderbird email client, which I've been using on every Ubuntu version since I started with the 9.0x series.
Does any body know how to get around this? According to the Software center, Thunderbird is available for installation, but the install fails saying (no surprises!!) "Requires installation of untrusted packages"

I'm running Mozilla Firefox 3.6.17. Can someone tell me the easiest way to upgrade to a newer version? When I search on Google, I get ;lots & lots of pages & they give me 20-different instructions on how to do it & i'm confused. Not sure which command to use (There is no "upgrade" option in the "tools" area of Firefox.) Do we upgrade in the command-line?

On my previous release *cough* if inenslave was needed, bonding instructions didn't work through aggregation did.
cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 192.168.1.149
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1
broadcast 192.128.1.255
post-up ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1
pre-down ifenslave -d bond0 eth0 eth1
#auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
#netmask 255.255.255.0
#wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
For some reason the unmentioned former disto, I could not get wireless networking under this configuration and a simple wlan0 interface, in case either cable were to sever it would retain a wireless. The bonding was done for speed, and I believe I can't get faster than mode=4.

I am attempting to install the latest Mozilla ActiveX control in order to install need for speed carbon. When I try to install the ActiveX control, it runs successfully for a bit, then says: Code: The Mozilla control was unable to detect where your Mozilla layout libraries may be found. You will now be shown a directory picker for you to locate them. It pops up a directory listing, but no matter what I pick, it returns:
[Code]....
I googled for "Mozilla layout libraries" and saw that apparently the win32 ActiveX build has a problem, but the thread appears to be from 2005, so, although it is the same error, I doubt if it is the same problem. Not just that, I don't have a windows compiler anywhere, so I couldn't recompile anything with that fix anyway.

Installed Tumbleweed today and was disappointed to find the latest stable KDE not installed.
4.6.2 is running fine on my 11.4 install.
I would like to use 4.6.2 in my Tumbleweed install.
Can anyone recommend the appropriate KDE Stable repo for Tumbleweed?

I use openSUSE 11.4 64 bits with KDE. For a specific reason (incompatibility with our internal revenue website) I'll have to downgrade to the latest stable FireFox version, 3.6 or something. I however do not know how to :
1. find this repository
2. when found, install it over my current 4.0.1 version.

Ubuntu 10.04 is unable to set up my Canon Pixma IP 6000D printer.So earlier tonight when my wife wanted 2 recipes she saw on this am's Today Show, I had to restart my computer with a Fedora 13 live CD in the drive. F13 quickly installs my Canon printer and I am able to print the recipes.But this sure is a convoluted way of printing 2 short text files.to get my printer to work with Ubuntu.I've been using Ubuntu almost 2 years now, and love it, love it, love it, except for this one little thing.

The new Wacom Bamboo Pen (CTL-460) doesn�t work in Ubuntu Lucid out-of-the-box. You need a newer kernel module than the one that comes with Lucid by default. It�s pretty easy to get it working though, you just need to know how.
First, install some compiling tools and header files:
Code:
Code:
Now unpack, configure compile and install it:
Code:
# I know this is the wrong version, but it's the highest available and it works
Code:
The tablet should work now. You can also add the module name to /etc/modules to automatically load it on boot.
He also says (and I can confirm) that the gray lines are the new borders of the tablet. A little annoying, but I imagine one could configure that, too.
