Description Jan Van Uytven 2004-07-07 23:48:21 UTC 
Thunderbird won't start on my system (an AMD Athlon). I've tried the 0.5, 0.6-r2 and 0.7.1. I've even tried the thunderbird-bin. Trying to run thunderbird yielded the following message before it died:

bash-2.05b$ thunderbird
no running windows found
*** Global extensions loaded!
bash-2.05b$

When running thunderbird-bin, I get a different error:

bash-2.05b$ thunderbird
fgrep: /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/defaults/pref/thunderbird.js: No such file or directory
No running windows found
bash-2.05b$

If I call it from kde, it loads for a bit and then plumb dies.

Firefox, on the other hand, works fine.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge thunderbird
2.run thunderbird
3.weep in frustration

Actual Results:  
See details.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the excellent thunderbird program.

Comment 2 James Wendel 2004-08-10 19:59:18 UTC 
I noticed this as well.  It has to do when you are upgrading, and you already have a ~/.thunderbird folder created.  If you delete it and start from scratch, all will work fine.

I believe if you delete 
~/.thunderbird/default.xxx/compreg.dat
All will work.. but I think that is the main options file.  Not sure what the cause is.
Comment 3 Jan Van Uytven 2004-08-11 21:39:25 UTC 
This fix works for me. Thanks, James! This seems like a problem with Thunderbird, not Gentoo, so changed bug to upstream.
Comment 4 Wojciech Hojda 2005-03-11 11:04:16 UTC 
The problem occured again after update to version 1.0 (20050308)
