I started Thunderbird in a terminal with the command: thunderbird -chrome chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul A small window popped up allowing me to do the reset. The master password has been wiped. Thanks again Heracles PS. My problem with Firefox has been solved (sort of). I removed some ot the addons and plugins and reinstalled it and them and now all is back to normal speed. Unfortunately my internet seems to have slowed quite a lot. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkviC3sACgkQybPcBAs9CE/oyQCfeIYmmAlBayiYLRE8+c2dLj3W 71IAoJIToDBdWrISGtGzoCd2pmwSrygF =ZMzb -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Mythbuntu upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04
Just thought I'd relate my experiences. All in all it was fairly smooth, running from the update monitor app. Big take home message is DELETE FLASHPLUGIN-NONFREE BEFORE UPGRADING! The upgrade process got stuck on trying to remove that, and left it in a "very bad state" which required manually deleting stuff from dpkg databases and the like before it would die. The nvidia binary driver won't install by default but the package nvidia-current is up to date for newish video cards. Looks like myth might have surround sound on the zotac motherboard now. It knows about the HDMI port as well, but that machine only has analogue speakers so I cant test that. It looks like there is some issue running virt-manager (wont start complains about missing python module "version") but the virtual machines themselves are up and running ok. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Another option of course is to create a new profile. cheers rickw -- _ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right.
