Recently installed 2.53.1, and all bookmarks/tab and emails/subfolders
are in place. However, my previous install of 2.49.x had Lightning
installed, so I had the 'Events and..' menu bar item visible, to select
calendar from, etc. It is no longer displaying. It's not just
invisible and taking up space, it's not on the menu bar at all.
My install was performed while a real-time backup tool was also running,
which has a job assigned to keep my profile info updated, as it changes.
Hoping this was a minor hiccup, I restarted the PC, killed the backup
software and re-ran the installer. No errors, but still no Lightning
module items.
My profile folder still contains a 'calendar-data' subfolder, and there
are 3 sqlite database files inside. Looking at the Add-ons Mgr screen,
there was an entry for a version of Lightning that was never removed but
marked as incompatible, so I uninstalled that and re-tried the new
installer once more. No joy.
Everything appears to work normally, other than my inability to utilize
the Lightning components that have been included in this distribution.
Any suggestions on how to at least regain access to the menus for
Lightning?
See under "Known Issues" in the release notes at
<https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.53.1/>:
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.
It seems that for some reason the bundled version doesn't get installed
for some people. It sounds like you've uninstalled the incompatible
version of Lightning, but try the about:config edit. I think the one to
reset for Lightning is
"extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}".
