Valavien Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Just installed from rpm the latest version of Thunderbird. When I click on the icon to load it looks like it's loading because it's says Starting Thunderbird with the hourglass and then nothing happens and it just goes away. any ideas?

mousematt Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 This is a known bug with the new flaming animal applications. Easy fix. Open a terminal: log in as root and execute the application. It will load up once and create the necessary files. Close it down and then execute it as a normal user. This is also true for Mozilla Firefox 0.9.1 RPMS as well. Reply if this solves your problem - or if your problem continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valavien Posted July 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Thanks for the info. Where is the default install location. I can't find it and kfind always crashes :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousematt Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 You don't need to find the file. Press Alt F2 and type: kdesu mozilla-thunderbird Enter your root password. Thunderbird will load. As soon as it has appeared: close the window... you don't need to run thunderbird as root ever again. To setup your account and start using Thunderbird: run it from the Mandrake menu.
