Sorry if this is a bit OT, or not Suse specific, but I have tried the

The original install of Thunderbird was from the Mozilla site
(thunderbird-2.0.0.6), just untarred and ran thunderbird. Have tried
using Smart to download and install both the 64bit and 32bit versions,
and have the same result with both, after uninstalling and
reinstalling the lightning.xpi. Sounds like a bug in the XPI, but has
anybody using this in a similar config, or had any luck, or
otherwise??
Appears that if you move your Thunderbird data location, Lightning
won't work?? Any ideas?
I have lightening 0,7 working on my SuSE released Thunderbird, with 0.5
you did have a nice little calendar window, but with 0.7 you get access
via some icons on the top tool bar which switch one into a full screen
view...
If you need to move between OSs either you need an external calendar
server of some sort, or a shared area to export and import calendars.
Lightening for some reason exports calendars as html (to be honest not
tried out this function for importing)... you will probably need to
apply dos2unix and unix2dos on the output files to make them readable to
the different systems.
Graham, My setup is: the Thunderbird data is sitting in a shared
(FAT32) partition that all my OS's can access, so I can boot into any
of them and access the data automagically. Don't have to change
anything, just have the thunderbird profile setup to point to the
shared partition - works great for Thunderbird! So I am not actually
changing anything, the data is in a fixed location, but there appears
to be something about Lightning that doesn't like the "non-default"
location... Would be great if I could get it to work.... :-(
John.
Might Lightning be creating it's own directory under .mozilla (or the
win32 equivalent) to store bits and pieces in? If so, I guess you'll
need to make arrangements similar to those you made for TB. Something in
about:config, perhaps?
Alternatively, if you have a second machine you tend to leave on, you
could run DAViCal ( see http://rscds.sourceforge.net/installation.php )
It's pretty easy to set up under Debian, but perhaps more hassle than
it's worth under SuSE. Up to you.
