Hi,

I have just install Edgy on my Dell Inspiron 9100. All is working
well, even the Broadcom wireless card is detected. However Thunderbird
is a problem. I have kept my old profile (in fact my whole /home
partition from Dapper) and I am getting this message when I try to run
Thunderbird

"Mossilla Thunderbird is already running but is not responding. To
open a new window, you must first close the existing mossila
thunderbird process or open a restart your system"

No other Thunderbird instance is running and restarting does not help.
Any suggestions as to what I should do?

Try:
$ killall mozilla-thun <tab>
(i think it is mozilla-thunderbird-bin, but i am not at a ubuntu machine
right now)

$ sudo chown -R USER\: /home/USER/.mozilla-thunderbird/

$ cd /home/USER/.mozilla-thunderbird/_RANDOM_/

$ rm compreg.dat XUL.mfasl

$ mozilla-thunderbird


Regards,

Paul Thompson


let me know if it helps

bye Thilo
