Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot install iceowl-extension

...I didn't see that there were other versions of the add-on for download. ;)  
Thanks a lot for the link, it worked, now I have my calendar back. :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot install iceowl-extension

I've tried that before but to be sure I tried again with the link you've  
provided: I've downloaded the XPI and tried to install it in Icedove via  
"Install Add-on from File". Unfortunately still the same problem: I get the  
error message "Lightning could not be installed because it is not compatible  
with Icedove 60.9.0.".

Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot install iceowl-extension

[damaddin]

No, neither calendar nor lightning are listed under "Extensions". I used to  
have the icon in the upper right corner to switch to calendar. But that is  
gone since lightning got disabled for the recent Icedove version.

[Trisquel-users] Cannot install iceowl-extension

[damaddin]

Hi all!

After the recent update to Icedove 60.9.0 in Trisquel, the Lightning add-on  
became disabled. So I tried to install iceowl-extension through apt, but that  
doesn't work because of not resolvable lightning dependency.


How can I install iceowl or get the calendar back in Icedove?
Thanks in advance! :)

Sorry for the delayed reply, I was traveling. Thanks, Magic Banana, the  
manual download method worked. Problem solved. :)

No, it seems I don't have these buttons. See screenshot:

Lightning doesn't show up under Add-ons either, if that helps in any way.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How connect to Nextcloud Calendar & Contacts with Icedove?

[damaddin]

Thanks Magic Banana, installation of the CardBook add-on worked! :)

I just checked and the package "xul-ext-lightning" was already installed.  
Maybe I'm just missing something very obvious here, but how do I access the  
calendar in Icedove then? I cannot find an entry like "Calendar" or similar  
in the burger menu...

[Trisquel-users] How connect to Nextcloud Calendar & Contacts with Icedove?

[damaddin]

Hello all,

I'm using Icedove on Trisquel 8 and would like to integrate my calendar and  
contacts on Nextcloud with it. My preferred way on other linux distros with  
Thunderbird was to simply use Lightning and install the CardBook add-on, but  
I found no (obvious) way of installing these calendar and address book  
add-ons in Trisquel.

So I'd be happy to get hints from you about how to achieve this.

Cheers & thanks in advance!

Re: [Trisquel-users] How unpack RAR v5 in Trisquel 7?

Perfect! Downloading und building from the source of unar 1.10 from here did  
the trick. Thanks a lot! :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] How unpack RAR v5 in Trisquel 7?

[damaddin]

That was my initial approach, but as described in my original post, I did not  
succeed in installing the current version of unar. Any hint on how to do  
that?


Btw, as I'm new to this forum two little off topic questions: How can I quote  
and how can I format text as code?

Re: [Trisquel-users] How unpack RAR v5 in Trisquel 7?

[damaddin]

Thanks for the hint, I just tried that: I uninstalled unrar-free via synaptic  
and opened the RAR archive through the file manager. Unfortunately Archive  
Manager cannot open the file. 

Re: [Trisquel-users] How unpack RAR v5 in Trisquel 7?

[damaddin]

p7zip doesn't work ("unknown suffix -- ignored"). Tried 7za then, but no  
success here either ("Error: Can not open file as archive").

[Trisquel-users] How unpack RAR v5 in Trisquel 7?

[damaddin]

I'm trying to unpack a RAR archive in Trisquel 7. I assume it is the current  
RAR format version 5.


I'v tried both unrar-free and unar. The former reports back...

   "unknown archive type, only plain RAR 2.0 supported(normal and solid  
archives), SFX and Volumes are NOT supported!"


...while the output of the latter is:

   "Couldn't recognize the archive format."

Then I tried to install the debian Stretch package of the current version of  
unar (unar_1.10.1-1+b1_amd64.deb) which should be able to handle RAR v5.  
Using gdebi, it refused to install, stating unmet dependency:  
libgnustep-base1.24 (>=1.24.7)


I'm running out of ideas. How can I unpack a RAR v5 archive?
Thanks in advance for your help.
