[Bug 91262] Re: Thunderbird crashes soon after startup

[Gregor Zattler]

@John Vivirito:

as I wrote at 2007-03-11:
"And there is no crash report in /var/crash:

~$ ls -l /var/crash
ls: /var/crash: No such file or directory"

grfz at pingu:~$ sudo ls -l /var/|grep crash
grfz at pingu:~$

now I did:

grfz at pingu:~$ sudo mkdir /var/crash
grfz at pingu:~$ sudo ls -l /var/|grep crash
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 2007-03-16 19:20 crash


and then:

grfz at pingu:~$ sudo rm -rf /home/grfz/.mozilla-thunderbird/; mozilla-thunderbird
DOUBLE-CLICK: 400 --> -1 THRESHOLD: 8 --> -1 Registering Enigmail account manager extension.
Enigmail account manager extension registered.
DOUBLE-CLICK: 400 --> -1 THRESHOLD: 8 --> -1 /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  5488 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

and after that:

grfz at pingu:~$ sudo ls -l /var/crash/
total 0

sorry, no crash report.

When I build the package acording to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash, section "Prior Ubuntu versions" it needed some additional manual intervention:
The build dependencies were not installed automatically, apt-get throwed an error message and I aptitude installed the needed packages.  Then the build was o. k.


Ciao, gregor
