Topic says it all... Starting thunderbird, I get a window 'X' showing only this output:

<window id="messengerWindow"

----^  <menu id="menu_File" label="&fileMenu.label;" accesskey="&fileMenu.accesskey;"/>

running thunderbird 2.0.0.22-1 with thunderbird-i18n 2.0.0.22-1 german locales on kde 4.2.3
reinstalling and even downgrading to the previous version of -i18n (this was updated today) did not fix this
puzzled...

I can confirm the problem.

Harey · 2009-08-02 08:37:38

Meanwhile I see thunderbird again
As a workaround I did

pacman -R thunderbird-i18n

to remove the -i18n-file, which seems to be the culprit.

I have the same issue, downgrading to the 2.0.0.21 version doesn't work whereas it worked before. Uninstalling i18n package is a temporary solution.

thunderbird's working again after i edited the pkgbuild and rebuild the package :>

bernarcher · 2009-08-02 16:51:13

Package thunderbird-i18n 2.0.0.22-2 is out. This solves the problem.

tigersuit · 2009-08-02 16:53:47

Not for me. Still the same problem

amen · 2009-08-02 17:44:56

Hello.

[2009-08-02 18:27] upgraded thunderbird-i18n (2.0.0.22-1 -> 2.0.0.22-2)

and still the same problem.

Skatox · 2009-08-02 18:05:47

Same here

Hello together,

obviously a corrupted file was written in the profile-directory.

Rename your .thunderbird directory, e.g. to .thunderbird_org,
after you start thunderbird and close it again.

Now you can delete the new created .thunderbird/ and move your old profile back.

mv .thunderbird_org/ .thunderbird/

Is should work now.

Doesn't work.

What's the name of this file?

Hi,

What's the name of this file?

I don't know exactly. Try to find a hidden file like this: /.thunderbird/.file

Otherwise move your old profile, start your thunderbird, delete the content of the new created thunderbird-directory. Copy the content of your old profile in it. Another solution mentioned in the german forum is to NOT copy back this two files:

XPC.mfasl
XUL.mfas

Solved. Thanks!

Myzu · 2009-08-03 17:37:11

Hi,

removing "XPC.mfasl" and "XUL.mfas" solved this problem for me too.

Thanks a lot ! Bye

jaymz_64 · 2009-08-04 18:37:07

Yes ! Thanks a lot
