I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Several diffrent types of attachments seem to cause this. Thanks!

Try uninstalling java, this seems like a java plugin error to me.

Thunderbird worked just fine w/o j2re package installed. pacman -Sy and pacman -S j2re and poof problem is back.

thunderbird works just fine for me with j2re installed, my guess is that your prefs are broken.

Try moving .mozilla-thunderbird out of the way and see if it starts, if it does, you can either reconfigure your settings, or move it back and try to manually edit files in the configuration directory to get it to start.

Same error w/ j2re installed and no .mozilla-thunderbird directory.

I found this while researching this:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223600

tsykoduk,

Please try this 0.7 package and see if it fixes your problem. This package (or a very similar one will be released in the next day or so).

http://dale.velocity.net/~dale/arch-testing/mozilla-thunderbird-0.7-1.pkg.tar.gz

0.7-1 is now commited to current...

please -Syu and see if it still crashes

I just got back into town... installed it and now it will not even start running :/

Ran Mozilla as root, and then again as myself. Still errors out with same error code.

As per http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223600 , created link in /opt/mozilla-thunderbird/lib from thunderbird-0.7 to mozilla-1.6b. Seems to work just fine now. Thanks!

hrm, can you try the 0.7-3 package without the symlink and let me know if it works?

Thanks

Ok... sucess was not as good as I thought to begin with. w or w/o symlink 7 is much better - but it still crashed with the same error when opening an email with an MP3 attachment. >:(

w/o j2re installed works fine.. and it was a .wav not an mp3 (hard to tell when I cannot open the email - lol).

can you uninstall j2re and forward the message to dale@archlinux.org (if it's not personal) and I'll try to reproduce it?

It's on it's way... :)

hrm, it doesn't crash my thunderbird and I have j2re installed... however, it's not a straight .wav or a straight .mp3, it looks like a combo of some sorts:

$ file vatican.wav
vatican.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, MPEG Layer 3, mono 11025 Hz

My guess is that you possibly have some java mp3/wav/audio player installed that is associated to either the extension or mime-type of the file, and that app is crashing, or thunderbird is trying to embed that app. This is really strange.

It is not a question of the attach but it is more related to the content of the message.
I had this problem with normal message, deleting the two file mentioned in thunderbird bug solved the problem.
Basically there are some message that have thunderbird look for jvm and it crash.
Now I'm testing thunderbird 0.7-3 without removing the files.
I'll let you know if I encouter any problem.
Anyway it is surpirsing that they didn't solve the problem, it is affecting the program since version 0.4

hrm, do you have any java plugins installed in ~/.mozilla/

hrm, maybe it's reading MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH too.

try running:

MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/mozilla-thunderbird/lib/thunderbird-0.7/plugins/
mozilla-thunderbird

and seeing if it still crashes.

I had the exact same problem, and by issuing the command:

env MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/mozilla-thunderbird/lib/thunderbird-0.7/plugins/
mozilla-thunderbird

the problem went away.

so a possible solution would be to set MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH in the mozilla-thunderbird script when 0.7.1-1 is released?

http://dale.velocity.net/~dale/arch-testing/mozilla-thunderbird-0.7.1-1.pkg.tar.gz

can someone who's having the problem try this package (with j2re installed), and let me know if it's still broken?

I just added to the moz path - I will d/l and install right now.

Gosh.. broadband is nice. Downloaded, and it seems to work just fine now.

try removing your MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH changes and see if it still works please.

0.7.1-1 has been released to current/, please try it.

I've tried the standard 0.7.1-1 in current, and I experience the same problems as before. If I add the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH as above to the executable, then everything works perfectly.

same exact output as before? 0.7.1-1 from current actually has OJI enabled to support a JVM plugin.

Could you comment if this is working now?
