problem with starting thunderbird3
« on: January 09, 2010, 10:50:21 PM »
I am having trouble with pointing thunderbird3 to different profile directories.

Up to now, I was using tb by pointing to a profile on a ntfs-formatted usb hd. That worked just fine.

I just decided to use the local HD for the same purpose; before copying over the profile, I formatted the partition to vfat. Now, I am having tb trouble recognising what's going on. I get
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ /usr/local/thunderbird3-official/thunderbird

(thunderbird-bin:12813): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'gtk-dialog-question' for stock: Unable to load image-loading module: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I point it to the original location, it works. The new location seems just fine, I can browse it etc.

Help?

Some more info:

The directory of choice now lives on a vfat drive, previously on a ntfs drive.

Before opening tb, I mount the relevant drive, previously with
'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 /mnt/mail', and currently with
'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/mail'.
The first case worked, while 2nd does not. However, if I use rox and mount /dev/sda2 to /mnt/sda2 (by clicking on it), tb proceeds fine.

The weird thing is, /mnt/mail is available in both cases. It's as if /mnt/mail is not registering properly, so tb thinks it is not mounted.

I have started a new bug thread on this issue. I think it is a file system bug, not a tb bug.
