Recently installed 2.53.1, and all bookmarks/tab and emails/subfolders
are in place. However, my previous install of 2.49.x had Lightning
installed, so I had the 'Events and..' menu bar item visible, to
select calendar from, etc. It is no longer displaying. It's not
just invisible and taking up space, it's not on the menu bar at all.
My install was performed while a real-time backup tool was also
running, which has a job assigned to keep my profile info updated, as
it changes. Hoping this was a minor hiccup, I restarted the PC,
killed the backup software and re-ran the installer. No errors, but
still no Lightning module items.
My profile folder still contains a 'calendar-data' subfolder, and
there are 3 sqlite database files inside. Looking at the Add-ons Mgr
screen, there was an entry for a version of Lightning that was never
removed but marked as incompatible, so I uninstalled that and re-tried
the new installer once more. No joy.
Everything appears to work normally, other than my inability to
utilize the Lightning components that have been included in this
distribution.
Any suggestions on how to at least regain access to the menus for
Lightning?
See under "Known Issues" in the release notes at
<https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.53.1/>:
Lightning or one of the distributed extensions is not showing up or is
disabled under Add-ons.
If the extension is disabled and can not be enabled deinstall it. If
it does not show up after restart do the following:
* Enter "about:config" in the location bar.
* Enter "extensions.installedDistroAddon" in the search field.
* Reset the key of the extension not showing up using the popup menu
with the mouse. If in doubt just reset all keys, but this might bring
back previously uninstalled distributed Add-ons.
* Restart SeaMonkey.
It seems that for some reason the bundled version doesn't get installed
for some people. It sounds like you've uninstalled the incompatible
version of Lightning, but try the about:config edit. I think the one to
reset for Lightning is
"extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}".
Thanks, Mark, that 'reset' trick worked. All the items under that
config area are showing boolean 'true' which I took to mean 'enabled',
but using the Reset context-menu action cleared it back to default, and
now all is well again.
