Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1082728] Re: The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird
Hmmm... Dear Philip, So it actually is a bug in Ubuntu Thunderbird -- Thunderbird has problems running zimbra email. Also, the messages almost definitely have to do with the lag that i am seeing -- they occur at exactly the same time. Only one thing wrong with that: Thunderbird on my wife's Windows computer has no trouble with exactly the same zimbra mail account. So, if the bug is in Thunderbird, then it's only in Ubuntu Thunderbird. Nikki thought that it was a bug in Ubuntu's Glib. She directed me to emails indicating a similar problem with Firefox and Ubuntu glib -- but that's been fixed. -- Saul On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 10:00 PM, Phillip Susi ps...@ubuntu.com wrote: The messages come from glib, but indicate an error in thunderbird.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1082728] Re: The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird
Initially this was a question that I posed on Launchpad. I was asked to put the content of .xsessionssomething into a pastebin, as well as the output in a terminal when I started Thunderbird in the terminal. The output in the terminal had the error messages for Glib calls. Nikki from Ubuntu Launchpad told me to close the case with this solved my problem, and to make a bug report about the Glib problem. I have. BTW, there appears to be a new version of Ubuntu. How can I upgrade to that? Maybe that will solve the problem? -- Saul On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 11:00 PM, Phillip Susi ps...@ubuntu.com wrote: I am unable to reproduce this on 12.10.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1082728] Re: The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird
I just downloaded the new version of ubuntu. (BTW, i have loads of spare memory and disk space). I started Thunderbird in a terminal. Here's what shows in the terminal when I double click on an item; and then I double clicked on another item: saul@NullA:~$ thunderbird (thunderbird:3175): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.32.3/./gobject/gsignal.c:3393: signal name `selection_changed' is invalid for instance `0x958b87c0' (thunderbird:3175): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.32.3/./gobject/gsignal.c:3393: signal name `selection_changed' is invalid for instance `0x88d090a0' According to Nikki (and it seems very believable to me), this is the source of the bug in Thunderbird -- actually a bug in Glib. (I was hoping it would be fixed in the new version of Ubuntu -- but, no change). Balsa mail works perfectly. (Also, I should note: Thunderbird has no trouble with my gmail account. The problems occur with my zimbra mail account (my business email: z.rochester.edu)) Hope that you can hep, -- Saul On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 11:00 PM, Phillip Susi ps...@ubuntu.com wrote: I am unable to reproduce this on 12.10.
