Guest Jestre Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I have just upgraded to Mandriva LE (downloadable edition), and I am trying to get Tbird working with Enigmail. I have installed the Tbird and mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail and -enigmime rpms, and there were no errors generated. When I go into the account settings section, I can configure Enigmail through the OpenPGP menu item, set ID, etc. The problem arises after this. I have neither an Enigmail menu, e.g. File, Edit, etc nor an OpenPGP drop down (like the security dropdown for S/MIME). Anyone have this working? Any ideas?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Make sure you have libgpgme and gnupg installed. It works fine for me. < root /home/omar/tmp > rpm -qa | grep enigmozilla-thunderbird-enigmime-1.0.2-3mdk mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail-1.0.2-3mdk < root /home/omar/tmp > rpm -qa | grep gpg libgpg-error0-1.0-4mdk libgpgme03_6-0.3.16-6mdk libgpgme11-1.0.1-1mdk < root /home/omar/tmp > rpm -qa | grep gnup gnupg-1.4.0-4mdk gnupg2-1.9.10-1mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jestre Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Well, thanks for taking a shot at it, but that too was unsuccessful. I even removed all the packages, changed repositories, and reinstalled/reconfigured. gpg works great from mutt, and I can configure all aspects of enigmail (OpenPGP) through the accounts setting, just never get the important options of using it when composing a mail. # rpm -qa | grep enig mozilla-thunderbird-enigmime-1.0.2-2mdk mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail-1.0.2-2mdk [root@romulus ~]# rpm -qa | grep gpg libgpgme11-1.0.1-1mdk libgpg-error0-1.0-4mdk libgpgme03_6-0.3.16-6mdk [root@romulus ~]# rpm -qa | grep gnup gnupg-1.4.0-4mdk gnupg2-1.9.10-1mdk I did notice, however, that you have version 1.0.2-3 of enigmime and enigmail, whereas I have the -2 version. Which repository did you get the -3 versions out of? Is your thunderbird also -3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Heh. I actually think I got mine from a Cooker source and yes, thunderbird is also -3. You can try updating to it by temporarily adding a Cooker source to urpmi and then urpmi mozilla-thunderbird so it can install all the dependencies as well and afterwards removing your Cooker source. Cooker is not for the faint of heart and mixing Cooker and Official pkgs like I do can be disastrous, as a warning. If you run mozilla-thunderbird from a console, do you see any error messages in the console you run it from as it is launching?

Guest Jestre Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 If you run mozilla-thunderbird from a console, do you see any error messages in the console you run it from as it is launching? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I will try a cooker version. As for the regular version, if I run it from a shell prompt as myself, there are no errors or other messages displayed, however... Running it from another user (root in this case as that's the only other user on my laptop), the following sequence of events occurs (as they did now that I remember the first time I ran it as myself after installing MDKLE). 1) Start it: [root@romulus ~]# mozilla-thunderbird Registering Enigmail account manager extension. Enigmail account manager extension registered. 2) At this point, tbird opens and asks if I want to import other data (or none in this case). When I click 'Next', I get the following message (see attachment): (paraphrasing) Disabling old extensions Now, since I've not installed tbird on this laptop before, there are no 'old' extensions other than, possibly, Enigmail itself. 3) When I click 'Okay' and continue, a second set of messages pops up in console so that I now have the following: [root@romulus ~]# mozilla-thunderbird Registering Enigmail account manager extension. Enigmail account manager extension registered. Registering Enigmail account manager extension. Enigmail account manager extension registered. 4) From this point on, I am able to configure tbird as per usual. I also have the OpenPGP options under Accounts, and I enable it for the current account, etc etc... My keys are available: $ gpg -K /home/sws/.gnupg/secring.gpg --------------------------------- sec 1024D/601CB97C 1998-04-15 uid S. William S <sws@domain> 5) Consider me stumped Thanks for the help Steve! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jestre Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Just as a followup to this, I added a cooker repository and installed the 1.0.2-3 rpm's from there, yet the problem was not resolved. As an imperfect, but functioning solution, I installed libstdc++5 and installed the Mozilla built Tbird and Enigmail. Everything is now working perfectly. I still have no idea why the Mandriva rpm's wouldn't work. Thanks for the assistance. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
