How can I get my Lightning up and running??

(Note: when I say I've updated SM, I mean I have installed Linux 
SM 2.53.6 in parallel (new location) with SM 2.49.1, but using the

Thanks for this, Don.

When I entered "extensions.installedDistroAddon" in the search

So I reset the third and fourth keys and, when I restarted 
SeaMonkey, I had just the first two keys left  and still no

Should I try resetting the first two (even though they appear to be 
totally disconnected with Lightning/Calendar)??


Did you first uninstall any version of Lightning currently installed 
in your profile?  It might show up as disabled in the Add-ons 
manager, but still needs to be uninstalled so that the new bundled 
version can be installed.  I think once the bundled version has been 
installed by one version of SeaMonkey, it gets automatically updated 
in future, but not sure if that happens if you already have a version 
installed from before SeaMonkey started bundling it.  So uninstall 
any existing version of Lightning, then reset the pref (it looks like 
{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} is the one for Lightning), 
restart SeaMonkey and hopefully it will install automatically.


If that's still not working, the XPI file for the extension is 
installed along with SeaMonkey, so you might be able to install it 
into your profile from there.  From the add-ons manager, click the 
cog near the top-right corner, choose "Install Add-on From File" and 
select the XPI file.  On my Linux system, it's at 
/opt/seamonkey/distribution/extensions/e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}.xpi, 
so I'd guess on Windows the path would be something like "C:\Program 
Files\SeaMonkey\..." or perhaps "C:\Program 
Files\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\...".


Lightning is quite closely tied to SeaMonkey, so you need compatible 
versions.  Aside from the other problems with sharing a single 
profile between multiple SeaMonkey versions, you may find that 
Lightning only works in one version, since you can only have one 
version of Lightning installed in that profile.  I think Lightning is 
also one of a few OS-specific extensions, so you might also find that 
it only works in whichever OS you installed Lightning for even if the 
versions are otherwise identical (I'm almost certain that at least 
used to be the case - not entirely sure whether it still is).



Thanks for that, Mark.

As I just replied to Don, I downloaded the xpi file from the 
Thunderbird Add-ons page and was going to install it later, but given 
your suggestion of the cog near the top-right corner, I just gave it a 
go  and failed.


Maybe I'll have to look harder for the SeaMonkey Add-ons page (which I 
thought was hosted by Thunderbird) or, maybe, fed the Thunderbird 
extension through the SeaMonkey Extensions convert page.


Still sharing profiles?

I think that is your problem and you might want to try a new test 
profile on each platform.


Here I am, back on Linux SM 2.53.6, and when I started, just the "Mail & 
News" screen initially came up (no Lightning/Calendar or Chatzilla). 
Then I selected Tools -> Add-ons

No version of the Lightning extension listed for Thunderbird is suitable 
for SM 2.53 because the new versions use WebExtensions while the version 
5.4 that you need is limited to SM 2.49.x. The Add-on Converter could 
change that, but you ought to be using the version distributed with the 
program.


In the Release Notes 
:



-   Lightning or one of the distributed extensions is not showing up or is 
disabled under Add-ons.
If the extension is disabled and can not be enabled deinstall it. If it does 
not show up after restart do the following:

Enter "about:config" in the location bar.
Enter "extensions.installedDistroAddon" in the search field.
Reset the key of the extension not showing up using the popup menu with the 
mouse. If in doubt just reset all keys, but this might bring back previously 
uninstalled distributed Add-ons.
Restart SeaMonkey.


This causes the extensions distributed with the program to be 
[re-]installed. In Debian-style Linux they're here:


$ ls -l /opt/seamonkey/distribution/extensions
total 2012
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  399843 Jan 17 16:53 
{59c81df5-4b7a-477b-912d-4e0fdf64e5f2}.xpi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1305192 Jan 17 16:53 
{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}.xpi

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  351730 Jan 17 16:53 inspec...@mozilla.org.xpi

The Lightning extension is the file
"{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}.xpi"

I expect that that there is a directory branch 
"distributions\extensions" under the SeaMonkey program directory in Windows.

On my Win7 installation (updated from SM 2.49.5), after the update, I 
had Lightning starting at SM bootup, but not in Linux which I have 
updated, today, from SM 2.49.1  yes 2.49.1.


Now I seem to recall that in SM 2.49.1, Lightning wasn't "inbuilt" 
but by 2.49.5, it was.


So, when I updated my *Win7* SM from 2.49.5, Lightning worked/works, 
but in Linux (now 2.53.6), checking the Add-ons Manager, Lightning is 
there but I only have the option to "Remove" because "Lightning is 
incompatible with SeaMonkey 2.53.6"


How can I get my Lightning up and running??

(Note: when I say I've updated SM, I mean I have installed Linux SM 
2.53.6 in parallel (new location) with SM 2.49.1, but using the same 
profile!)


 From https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.53.6/ 
section "Known Issues":
Lightning or one of the distributed extensions is not showing up or 
is disabled under Add-ons.
If the extension is disabled and can not be enabled deinstall it. If 
it does not show up after restart do the following:


    Enter "about:config" in the location bar.
    Enter "extensions.installedDistroAddon" in the search field.
    Reset the key of the extension not showing up using the popup 
menu with the mouse. If in doubt just reset all keys, but this might 
bring back previously uninstalled distributed Add-ons.

    Restart SeaMonkey.


Thanks for this, Don.

When I entered "extensions.installedDistroAddon" in the search field, I 
had four keys listed 


extensions.installeddistroaddon.debu...@mozilla.org;modified;true;boolean
extensions.installeddistroaddon.inspec...@mozilla.org;modified;true;boolean
extensions.installedDistroAddon.{59c81df5-4b7a-477b-912d-4e0fdf64e5f2};modified;true;true 

extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103};modified;true;true 



So I reset the third and fourth keys and, when I restarted SeaMonkey, I 
had just the first two keys left  and still no Lightning/Calendar!! ;-(


Should I try resetting the first two (even though they appear to be 
totally disconnected with Lightning/Calendar)??


Did you first uninstall any version of Lightning currently installed in 
your profile?  It might show up as disabled in the Add-ons manager, but 
still needs to be uninstalled so that the new bundled version can be 
installed.  I think once the bundled version has been installed by one 
version of SeaMonkey, it gets automatically updated in future, but not 
sure if that happens if you already have a version installed from before 
SeaMonkey started bundling it.  So uninstall any existing version of 
Lightning, then reset the pref (it looks like 
{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} is the one for Lightning), 
restart SeaMonkey and hopefully it will install automatically.


If that's still not working, the XPI file for the extension is installed 
along with SeaMonkey, so you might be able to install it into your 
profile from there.  From the add-ons manager, click the cog near the 
top-right corner, choose "Install Add-on From File" and select the XPI 
file.  On my Linux system, it's at 
/opt/seamonkey/distribution/extensions/e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}.xpi, 
so I'd guess on Windows the path would be something like "C:\Program 
Files\SeaMonkey\..." or perhaps "C:\Program Files\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\...".


Lightning is quite closely tied to SeaMonkey, so you need compatible 
versions.  Aside from the other problems with sharing a single profile 
between multiple SeaMonkey versions, you may find that Lightning only 
works in one version, since you can only have one version of Lightning 
installed in that profile.  I think Lightning is also one of a few 
OS-specific extensions, so you might also find that it only works in 
whichever OS you installed Lightning for even if the versions are 
otherwise identical (I'm almost certain that at least used to be the 
case - not entirely sure whether it still is).

As an aside, I consider sharing a profile between 2.49.x and 2.53.x to 
be a horrible idea.  2.53.6 may well change something which 2.49.1 
will no longer understand, 2.49.1 is then liable to decide the file is 
corrupt and do something about it.

ymmv


mmdv!!

For years, I've been sharing a profile between my Win7 SM and my Linux 
SM (even since Mozilla Suite!!)  against the advice of those in the 
know!! Guess I've just been lucky  and my luck continues!


Sharing profiles between different versions on different OS's should 
compound those risks ... but it has worked  so far!! ;-P


Don't know, all I have is
extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} 
which is set to true
(2.53.6 under Linux), Lightning has always worked for me, even when I 
moved from 2.49.4 to 2.53.3.
