using BLFS-SVN Kernel = 2.6.12.5 package = Thunderbird Installation status: OK
Currently, I am able to share my one (1) e-mail account of 3 different boot systems (Mepis, Suse 10, Windows XP). I attempted to do this with BLFS-SVN, but I made some type of error.
I googled around a bit and found where someone had posted that doing this kind of thing as a root user will make the Thunderbird package from the system I attempted this on (not BLFS specific, just in general) would be inoperable. I was able to access all of the e-mails as the root user, but not as the normal user. The only reason I was root user in the first place was per the BLFS instruction to run /user/bin/thunderbird as root "to create additional files in the usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.2 directory.
I appears that I went to far in trying to set my system up to share one e-mail account while logged in as root.
Can this be fixed? I really don't want to have a separate e-mail location for my BLFS system if I can avoid it.
All of my e-mails are in tact (they are located on a separate partition that is formatted vfat (for Windows access) so that is not the issue. I also backed them up BEFORE I tried this in case I made some error and accidentally deleted them.
Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, rblythe -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
