Is this updating from an older 2.53.x to 2.53.3? If so, and if you
have a language pack installed, that could be the problem causing
the blank panes. There's some issue with the version compatibility
indicated in the older 2.53.x language packs, so SeaMonkey doesn't
realise they're incompatible with the newer version and
automatically disable them. I gather from previous discussion here
that the language packs for 2.53.3 should have this fixed - but that
only helps when upgrading FROM 2.53.3 to a newer version.
Yes, upgrade from 2.53.2.
Start in safe mode (`seamonkey --safe-mode` from the command-line if
you can't do it via the UI) using your original profile. Then open
Tools > Add-ons Manager, select "Languages" on the left side and
remove any language pack there. You can then install the
corresponding language pack for the new version (at the bottom of
the page at <https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.53.3> for
2.53.3).
Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, removed the english_UK language
pack, removed Adblock+ and the old pdf reader, disabled a few other
things. Unfortunately, when I restarted in normal mode, no change at
all - still a blank pane. The command I use should have started the
mail client, but it came up with the calendar instead, but nothing
working. So for the moment, I'm back with the new profile. I do seem
to have managed to get the saved passwords migrated. Well, all but
one of them for some reason.
If it works in safe mode, that does suggest some add-on, or perhaps
some other setting causing a problem (I gather safe mode also
temporarily resets some other things, not just disabling add-ons, but
not certain of the details).
You say it comes up with the calendar, which suggests Lightning is
still enabled. Have you tried disabling that? It's quite tightly
coupled to the version of SeaMonkey. Being bundled with SeaMonkey
now, I'd expect Lightning to get updated at the same time, but just
wondering if for reason it hasn't been updated in the profile, and
perhaps an older version of Lightning might be breaking the newer
version of SeaMonkey...
I've created a new profile and it is working well. Now all I need
is my bookmarks and saved passwords.
Trouble is, I'm not sure which files I need to restore from the
backup. I _think_ I need places.sqlite and logins.json, but I'm not
sure, nor am I sure if I need anything else. Long time since I last
had to do this...
Can anyone tell me what files I need to copy over? Thanks.
As above, it might be possible to fix your existing profile, saving
the need to port anything to a new profile.
:( So far, no go with the old profile. Still need to know if there is
any way of bringing the old bookmarks back.
I thought bookmarks were stored in places.sqlite, but you've already
mentioned copying that across...
:) Found it - there are two other files places.sqlite-shm and -wal.
Missed them the first time. Copied them over and I've got the bookmarks
back as well.
Apart from one email account which is timing out, everything is now
working. I'll have to check that mail server, but otherwise things are
back to normal. Liking the new version so far. If nothing else, a fresh
profile gets me a few things I've not seen.
