2013-12-16 Thread Graham Ranger
For what it's worth, I was having similar problems, and had almost concluded it was time to change an admittedly old computer (9-10 years). I had decided it was the graphics card overheating. As a last ditch attempt, I took the card out and gave it a thorough clean. This was a good month ago and I'

No, my Thunderbird overconsumed CPU, even when the indexer was turned off, the folders compacted and extensions removed. The bug appears to be tied to the ubuntu-specific version of tbird. Point taken, for comment #7... it works for me, in any case. -- Thunderbird causes high load/HD usage sinc

Well, I have reverted to tbird 2.0.0.24, available on the tbird website, after some searching. (A 3.0 version was also available, but that kept crashing...) This is a little disappointing, however, for a new version of Ubuntu and I hope it will be fixed soon. (Reversion is simple enough: sudo rm

Same here, after the update via the web to 10.10, Thunderbird is taking about 50% of CPU. I've disabled extensions and removed/ reinstalled Thunderbird... Can I revert to the previous version? -- Thunderbird causes high load/HD usage since upgrade to 10.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658195 Y

I suspect this is probably more a question for a forum than a bug report! In any case, I'm no expert, but I think you ought to be able to find this sort of message archived in syslog, i.e. /var/log/syslog which you can access with gedit or cat /var/log/syslog or, if you want to log just for erro

In response to Stephane T, when you run "killall soffice.bin", that knocks out the quickstarter. This could be tied up to the system shutdown button with something like "killall soffice.bin && shutdown -P", but it's an openoffice specific hack, and, from what I've read, the user cannot, in any case

I added Lightning 1 to Thunderbird 3 on Ubuntu 10.04, but it seems to lead to Thunderbird hanging, notably when closing the Lightning tab, or switching between tabs (via Ctrl Tab). Has anyone else noticed this, and is there a known fix? -- [MASTER] Please update lightning extension to version 1.0
