After updating thunderbird to version 68.0, the calender extension is no longer working, i.e., nothing calendar related is displayed in firefox (no tab, no menu entry, etc.). That happens even for a new, empty profile. Starting thunderbird from the command line yields: $ thunderbird #1567780722414 addons.xpi WARN Ignoring distribution: not an XPI: /usr/lib64/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} {e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} is AFAIK the id of the calendar extension.

There is still no calendar in mail-client/thunderbird-68.1.0.
I cannot confirm the problem a for a new profile. I.e. I have working lightning with >=thunderbird-68 when using a new profile. However, I have some really old test profiles created using previous versions. When I start >=thunderbird-68.0 using such a profile, lightning will be disabled for yet unknown reason. Now upgrade of lightning. PS: tka, in comment #1 you are showing that you have set USE=-lightning :-)
To chime in: For me, on several machines (with existing profiles), Lightning always loads, but in some cases remains in a broken state: - The day plan and calendars look empty. - Colours and layout of calendars and day plan are broken. Restarting Thunderbird 2-3 times usually fixes it, sometimes it also helps to switch to LANG=C. Observed with both 68.0 and 68.1.
My issue seems to be a different one and is already tracked upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1560547 Sorry for the noise!
(In reply to Thomas Deutschmann from comment #3) > PS: tka, in comment #1 you are showing that you have set USE=-lightning :-) Well the description of the lightning flag says: "Enable app-global calendar support (note 38.0 and above bundles calendar support when this flag is off)," i.e., the flag doesn't enable/disable the calender but toggles the global/bundled version. And the calendar was working for me with USE="-lightning" for a long time. PS: If this behavior of the flag even confuses a developer, maybe the name should be changed. ;)
In Thunderbird Daily 68.1.0 the add-on Lightning work right if I disable my Language Pack in Add-ons Manager Menu option.
The calendar extension works fine every time if thunderbird is run with export LANG=C Deactivating the localisation pack does not help here.
(In reply to Harald Judt from comment #8) > The calendar extension works fine every time if thunderbird is run with > export LANG=C Doing export LANG=C, I have the same result that deactivating localisation pack. That doesn't work for me.
Very strange: Background: I'm using awesome WM. Starting via o) awesome menu: fail o) konsole -> "thunderbird" (always): succes ( !without! "LANG" ) o) xterm -> "thunderbird" (first time): fail o) xterm -> "export LANG=C && thunderbird" (first time): success o) xterm -> "thunderbird" (following times): success ( !without! "LANG" ) Does these findings ring some bell for anybody? I have not found anything at all in my .bash* settings which could remotely explain this behavior to me.

Thunderbird Release Notes Version 68.2.0, first offered to channel users on October 22, 2019 -> Known Issues -> -> unresolved "When using a language pack, names of standard folders aren't localized <----- ! (will be fixed in TB 68.2.1)" To me, this seems to be completely in accordance to all of the findings above. Thus a-waiting minor version bump to mail-client/thunderbird-68.2.1 .

68.2.1 is now available in Gentoo repository.
Just having built -68.2.1 in my overlay (copy-rename was sufficient): WORKSFORME, but the problem discussed here has not dissolved: the difference via "LANG=C" still persists the same.
Created attachment 594730 [details] starting via "thunderbird --g-fatal-warnings" Started from freshly started xterm: A) first without "export LANG=C" B) export LANG=C Please note the additional warnings thrown in the first case (A) about "... Addon ...xyz... already installed, older version will be disabled" but not after (B) @ Mozilla Gentoo Team: does this provide a hint, perhaps?
I found something strange in /usr/lib64/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/manifest.json: { "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Lightning", "description": "Integrated Calendaring & Scheduling for your Email client", "version": "68.2.2", "author": "Mozilla Calendar Project", "homepage_url": "https://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/", "legacy": true, "applications": { "gecko": { "id": "{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}", "strict_min_version": "68.3.0", "strict_max_version": "68.*" } }, "icons": { "32": "chrome/skin/common/icons/icon32.svg" } } "strict_min_version": "68.3.0" is > "version": "68.2.2", maybe this causes the bug?
Hmm, changing the values to "strict_min_version": "68.2.0", "strict_max_version": "68.3.0" didn't help. Btw, even when using a fresh profile I still get the warning Ignoring distribution: not an XPI: /usr/lib64/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} on startup and the calendar does not show up. Also the warning clearly is about the extension from the distribution, not the user profile. And export LANG=C doesn't help either.

Same for RU! I don't understand that language but Thunderbird appears with Lightning add-on, both localized in Russian. So for me, Thunderbird and Lightning is working fine. I can only imagine a problem when upgrading an existing profile which I cannot test because I don't use Lightning in my normal profile.

For me, the issue with the calendar extension not always working has been fixed with thunderbird-68.3.0 and using the "internal" calendar version (USE flag "lightning" enabled). It no longer requires any hacks. Finally, thunderbird and lightning are in a usable state again. Tested on three different machines. Thanks.

(In reply to Thomas Deutschmann from comment #21) > Sorry, I don't get your point and I still cannot reproduce: That might be caused by different issues mixed into this single BUG report. CONFIRM: Within 68.3.1, the add-on itself WORKSFORME, if I opt to open-up the Calendar / Task Tab view. In earlier versions, it was possible to select the calendar being displayed as a side-bar alongside on the right - quite helpful when analyzing a longer thread with multiple project participants. AFAICR, within 68.2, this could be enabled sacrificing language adoption. Within 68.3.1, the only work-around I finally found is via . . . View -> Today Pane -> show Mini-Month The German version still fails: . . . Ansicht -> Tagesplan -> Tagesplan anzeigen (F11): works . . . Ansicht -> Tagesplan -> Tagesübersicht anzeigen : works . . . Ansicht -> Tagesplan -> Monatsübersicht anzeigen : fails <--- . . . Ansicht -> Kalender -> Seitenleiste -> Seitenleiste anzeigen : fails <--- To me, it seems that "Ansicht -> Kalender" options only work IFF you are inside the "Kalender Tab". Perhaps I succomb a fundamental usage misunderstanding? Thanks for your efforts!
For me, the issue still happens with 68.3.1 and built-in lightning, but it has become much more rare. It seems to depend strongly on how many add-ons there are, and how the CPU load is when Thunderbird is starting, and happens more often using localization. The calendar pane was always working for me - but when "loading failed", it has wrong colours, the list of calendars is empty, reminders don't fire up, and the side-bar pane is broken. Restarting Thunderbird a few times usually brings me back to functional state (correct colours, side-bar not empty anymore, reminders working). In case Lightning wrill go to functional state, it takes longer until the Thunderbird UI becomes visible - in case it will go to broken state, UI becomes visible early, but with broken Lightning. It "feels" like some race condition depending on CPU load, I/O load, number of plugins etc. At least, it has become less likely in the last releases (for me).
What is bad now in the thunderbird-68.3.1 release is that I cannot create events spanning multiple days. Whenever I want to change the end date, it resets it to the previous value, and the pop-up when I click on the down-arrow widget besides the text box doesn't even open. Don't know if it worked in any 68.* release before but IIRC it did.

I have the same issue. I suppose the problem presents itself when using any language pack (or maybe just some; I have the same issue with the Italian language pack). But i did some test (every time starting with a fresh profile): * mail-client/thunderbird-bin from portage: no problem, with and without language pack * "official build" (localized binary version from thunderbird.net) without installation, just unpacked and launched: no issues On my system: emerge -pqv thunderbird [ebuild R ] mail-client/thunderbird-68.8.0 USE="clang dbus gmp-autoupdate lightning lto pulseaudio startup-notification system-av1 system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-libevent system-sqlite system-webp -bindist -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -eme-free -hardened -jack (-pgo) (-selinux) -system-libvpx -test -wayland -wifi" CPU_FLAGS_X86="avx2" L10N="it -ar -ast -be -bg -br -ca -cs -cy -da -de -el -en-GB -es-AR -es-ES -et -eu -fi -fr -fy -ga -gd -gl -he -hr -hsb -hu -hy -id -is -ja -ko -lt -nb -nl -nn -pl -pt-BR -pt-PT -rm -ro -ru -si -sk -sl -sq -sr -sv -tr -uk -vi -zh-CN -zh-TW"
(In reply to Michelangelo Scopelliti from comment #29) I was reading my early post, and I have to apologize for the hastily way it was written. Maybe I can add some clarification. The issues I see, (with the Italian localization) are three: 1. No mini-calendar in the top-left corner in the calendar pane 2. No mini-calendar in the drop down menu in the event creation dialog 3. a weird <radio id="alarmSoundCustom" ------------------------^ in any preference tab. I've performed some tests, using gentoo-built thunderbird (from portage) and thunderbird-built thunderbird (https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/thunderbird/releases/68.8.0/linux-x86_64/it/thunderbird-68.8.0.tar.bz2), both localized. After a backup, the test (see comment #29)were $ rm -rf .thunderbird .cache/thunderbird && thunderbird snd $ rm -rf .thunderbird .cache/thunderbird && thunderbird/thunderbird (after unpacking the tarball in my $HOME) the downloaded binary worked flawlessly. I was able to get rid of issue 3 - compiled gdata-provider (Provider for Google Calendar, {a62ef8ec-5fdc-40c2-873c-223b8a6925cc}) is missing a manifest.json; writing a bogus one fixed the issue; but I had no luck with issues 1 and 2. The workaround of disabling the localization, via LANG=C and or disabling the "it" extension, makes the calendar extension fully functional again, but the localization -- of course -- is lost. I assume that the other issues are caused by errors in such an extension; if you compare it with the "official" one, you can see many missing components (chrome, components, default, modules) besides the named manifest.json . So, at the moment, I have another workaround: disable lightning in the build, and install lightning (and, if needed, gdata-provider) as external xpi. In such way, it is possible to have a localized calendar.

What did you write in the manifest.json?
btw I just opened an issue upstream: https://github.com/kewisch/gdata-provider/issues/75
(In reply to Timo Ollech from comment #32) [CUT] > What did you write in the manifest.json? I don't recall exactly, I copied it from lightning manifest.json changing application id, name, and removing non-matching fields (I took the idea from errors reported in comment #20, same errors I was reading on my system).
I am closing this as obsolete now that it is integrated in >=78.x.
