Re: [LUG] Lightning shorted

[Rod Sheaff <rod@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm....

I meantime found the below at

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/lightning/reviews/

The one in German says: 'Ubuntu users... should remove the add-on (Lightning); close TB, install the xul-ext-lightning'.

Maybe that's what's required instead of straight re-install (which presumably might have left Lightning as it was)? I wish now I'd written down at the time what I did.

This add-on should be integrated in Thunderbird because totaly compulsory.
Since recent upgrade to Thunderbird 60 lightning for Linux doesn't work anymore... but thanks to a previous review I didn't lose my appointments !
The solution is to remove Lightning, then run "sudo apt install xul-ext-lightning"

Gutes Kalender-Addon.
Für Ubuntu-Benutzer, bei denen es seit Thunderbird 60.2.1 wie bei mir nicht mehr geht:
Addon aus Thunderbird entfernen, Thunderbird beenden, per apt das Paket "xul-ext-lightning" installieren.

I tried that, but when it didn't work I checked that the packages xul-ext-lightning, xul-ext-calendar-timezones and xul-ext-gdata-provider were installed. Then I reinstalled Thunderbird. That seemed to fix it (but I still don't understand why.)

In case it helps...
