Description Carolyn Rowse 2014-12-01 19:37:40 CET

Description of problem:

I'm no longer able to open Thunderbird.  When I try from the CLI I get the words "Bus error".  This has been happening during the last few days, but I haven't been checking my e-mails very frequently lately so I can't pinpoint when the problem would have started.

Which desktop environment and display manager do you use?

what is the output of:

rpm -qa | grep thunderbird

What happens if you first rename 
/home/<you>/.thunderbird to: 
/home/<you>/.thunderbirdOLD and then start thunderbird (yeah, your mailboxes won't be there), or when you log in as a different user and start thunderbird?

s/or/and/

Comment 3 Florian Hubold 2014-12-04 01:41:42 CET

In addition to the rpm -qa | grep thunderbird output, please first run thunderbird from a terminal and post the complete output here (before trying to rename your ~/.thunderbird profile folder).

It seems fine now since I installed the latest update.  Thanks anyway.
