I again. This bug msut have to do with some other (upgraded) package since downgrading to mozilla-tunderbird version 1.5.9 did not resolve the problem. I tried to start thunderbird as root: "sudo mozilla-tunderbird" then it did *not* crash. All files/directories in and under ~/.mozilla-tunderbird are owned and read/writable by the normal user "grfz", as I login as "grfz". But it crashes when I start it as user grfz.
I did not understand the strace and ltrace output but it crashes while calling xfree (window properties and such). If someone is able to read this I would provide the output from strace and ltrace for a invocation of thunderbirs as root and as a mere user. I wrote: "I followed the steps outlined in section "Prior Ubuntu versions" in DebuggingProgramCrash. But there is no mozilla-thunderbird-dbgsym package. Thunderbird now behaves as before and there is no /var/crash nor a core dump or something." I have compiled and installed the packages. I think the symbols are not stripped, but I do not know, what to do with this debug-enabled programs. Hope this helps and somebody helps, Gregor -- Thunderbird crashes soon after startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/91262 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
