Forgot to mention thar in 3. it works fine, when you close it (normal program exit) it segfaults. thunderbird-2.0.0.4-0.rc1.fc7 still has the same problems. I'm having the same problem... using Fedora 7 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.5. Still no solution... I must use only one profile with Thunderbird on Fedora! :-( As a note, multiple profiles is sort of unsupported upstream. There's some lingering code there which is intended to go away. The preferred solution is to have a different user. With fast user switching, this should be made easier. Though I wonder if this is a side effect of bug 244901. I do not think it is related to #244501 - although that bug made Thunderbird not start at all. I can start Thunderbird with multiple profiles if I select the profile from commandline: thunderbird -p default thunderbird -p work This seems to work (after rpm -e thunderbird and rm -Rf /usr/lib/thunderbird-2.0.0.* and yum install thunderbird again) Using Fedora 8 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (20071115). Having the same problem, 1.- $ thunderbird -ProfileManager do not run nothing 2.- Runing thunderbird with a profiles.ini with more than one profile $ thunderbird seems to run but closes. 3.- Specifing a profile of a profiles.ini with more than one profile $ thunderbird -P profile01 workd fine At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test with the latest version of Thunderbird (2.0.0.12) now available for your distribution and provide feedback as to whether the problem still exists so we can file a ticket upstream as soon as possible. thunderbird-2.0.0.12-1.fc8 -ProfileManager results in a very fast exit. The last part of the messages from strace looks just the same (components/xpti.dat.tmp)... The options --sync --no-xshm -safe-mode have no effect. The thunderbird binary (2.0.0.12) from mozilla.com works just fine on the same machine/session. I used that to create some profiles. When the checkbox to not ask about profile on startup is checked fedora's tb starts the last selected profile, but if it is not checked exits as fast as with -ProfileManager. Should we update the version to 8? The "I am providing the requested information for this bug." checkbox did not work, retrying. This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Just tried with FC8 - the same problem. Can reproduce with thunderbird-2.0.0.16-1.fc9.x86_64 Cannot reproduce with thunderbird-2.0.0.17-1.fc10.i386 -- it just works as it should. Yep, it's OK with 2.0.0.17. |
