Hi,
I need some help: I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and can not
creating a profile for thunderbird on my windows network drive.
In 9.04 I had permanently mounted the drive by adding the folder
/media/nwd and adding the following line in /etc/fstab:
//10.0.0.2/nwd /media/nwd cifs username=un,password=pw 0 0
This worked fine and also the following line worked well:
//10.0.0.2/nwd /media/nwd smbfs username=un,password=pw 0 0
I then was able to create and use a profile for thunderbird on this
network drive and could access my mail from different computers on the
network.
When I upgraded to 9.10 I lost my read and write access to my windows
network drive and had to change the line in fstab into:
//10.0.0.2/nwd /media/nwd cifs
defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=un,password=un,umask=777 0 0
With this line the networkdrive is automatically mounted at startup and
I can read and write my files. However, I can't use or create a profile
for thunderbird on this drive. The message that I get when I use the
thunderbird - profilemanger is as follows:
Profile couldn't be created. Probably the chosen folder isn't writable.
[Exception... "Component returende failure code: 0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)
[nslToolkitProfileService.createProfile)" nsresult: "0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"
location: "js frame ::
chrome://mozapps/content/profile/createProfileWizard.js ::onFinish ::
line 233" data: no)
While I can read from and write to this drive, apparently Thunderbird
can not.
Does any one have an idea what to do to have my thunderbird profile on
the network drive?
Peter
