While I am not technically new to the group. I haven't been posting or reading posts for awhile. My planned move to Linux kept getting put off, until now that is.
I recently did a dual-boot install of Mint 10 on my HP G71-340US Notebook. I had been using Thunderbird 3.1.8 w/Lighting 1.0b2 in Windows 7. So I thought that this part of my switch to Linux would be easy. Not so! When I tried to use Lighting on the Linux side nothing. No calendar, tasks or events. Not even a view of a calendar.
I tried to uninstall Lighting and reinstall it. When I do I get the following message. ["Lightning" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Thunderbird build type (Linux_x86_64-gcc3). Please contact the author of this item about the problem.]
I never had any problems with Firefox or Thunderbird in Windows and I am very new to Linux. So I have yet to report any bugs. IF in fact this is a bug and not an error on my part. Being an ex-programmer I know the fastest way to get a problem fixed is to give the programmer all the pertinent information the first time.
So my questions are:
1. Has anyone encountered this problem?
2. Is this a bug?
3. If it is a bug, how do I go about reporting it?
4. Is there a work around?
TIA
Sue
