Select all files in the ~/.thunderbird/fault folder Open it with rox (or other filemanager), place next to the ~/.thunderbird/fault folder (see pic) (if it already exists, it's OK, but better make it empty by removing the files inside) Create in the extracted portable directory (where the tb script is located, e.g. Open with rox (or other filemanager) the (hidden) folder ~/.thunderbird/fault (in my case it's fault, see pic) If you have thunderbird setup on your system the standard way (account made, mails in inbox, sent etc.) then you can synchronize it with Mike's portable. Make sure you have a back-up copy of your Thunderbird profile before you try this. Thunderbird will be finding two identical sets of data, in two different locations, both with the same 'profile identifier'.and it's getting confused. I'm thinking the two are interfering with each other.the more so if you copied the thunderbird stuff from that Puppy into the 'portable' version's 'profile' directory. You may actually need to delete the existing 'thunderbird' directory in /root/.cache. ![]() (Shows as an orange triangle with an exclamation mark ("!")) Deleting that was all it took to get things working again as they should. Take a look in /root/.cache in my case, I'd got a dead thunderbird sym-link, hanging around in there somewhere.I sym-link a lot of stuff remotely. In this case, the problem was with Firefox, but FF and TB both use pretty much the same internals. I had that exact same problem with 'missing or inaccessible profile' last week, when I was setting up a second Puppy on the ancient Dell lappie. ?Įverything is working fine after reboot backi:. Inside Folder Thunderbird-60.5.1-i686-portable.gz.extracted somehow a Folder mnt was created after Thunderbirds first run.with Folders and Sub-Folders mentioned above. Sdb1 is the Location where i store my normal/non-portable Thunderbird now on this Laptop where i actually performing all those Tasks i am describing now.īit confusing i have to admit. thunderbird before on another Laptop using Thunderbird. This sda7 was the former Location/Drive/Partition where i placed (hidden) Folder. īoth are containing (hidden) Folders named. i found a new Folder inside of Folder Thunderbird-60.5.1-i686-portable.gz.extracted. ![]() waiting for download of all my Mails etc.waited till finished. and then started thunderbird from Folder thunderbird32.clicking tb. Inside this Folder one will find the Folder thunderbird32. Inside of this Folder is Folder Thunderbird-60.5.1-i686-portable. so let me try to explain.ĭownloaded and extracted Thunderbird-60.5.1-i686-portable.gz.Ī Folder Thunderbird-60.5.1-i686-portable.gz.extracted was the result. If it doesn't find what it's looking for there, it'll then look in the system files, and find the ones installed from the PPM.and use them instead. If that's the case, install GTK3 from your Puppy's PPM, and rename the 'extralibs' folder to something different, so the script doesn't find it. The set I've included in each build won't necessarily work for every Pup on that platform. This creates your profile within the directory.and by starting with the 'tb' script every time, will continue to use that profile.Įdit:- If you find TB-portable won't fire up, it's almost certainly due to the GTK3 libs. Then start by clicking on the 'tb' script inside. (32-bit).and Xenialpup64 7.5 (64-bit).Īs with the other portables, untar 'em, then place the resulting thunderbird32/thunderbird64 directory anywhere you like. Tested as working in Tahr 6.0.6, Slackos 560 & 570, and BK's 'masterpiece', Precise 5.7.1. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, I don't like SeaMonkey.!! (I don't think I'm alone, either.)Īnyway here is Thunderbird 60.5.1, packed as a 'portable'. Yeah, I know a lot of you will say, 'Why not make a portable version of SeaMonkey? It's all in one application'. Ok, it's probably been done before - many times - but a portable version of Thunderbird sounded like a good idea.Ĭarry both browser & e-mail around on a flash drive wherever you go. Having tried my hand at a couple of 'portables', after Fredx181 showed the way with 'FF-Quantum portable', a thought struck me.
