How to get more detailed reason for Thunderbird crashing?
- by Nick
I have a computer (10.04) that was previously running Thunderbird 12.0.1 just fine (installed via apt-get via official PPA). I don't know what happened at the time the problem started since this is a multi-user computer and I was not here. However, every time we try to launch TB, we immediately get a dialog that says:
We're Sorry
Thunderbird had a problem and crashed.
Things I've tried:
Running thunderbird from a terminal produces no output.
I tried apt-get remove thunderbird --purge and then reinstalled
Deleting the user's .thunderbird folder and launching still results in a crash
Attempting to run thunderbird -safe-mode still results in a crash
This problem occurs for all users of Thunderbird on this computer.
Is there any way to get more details on why the program is crashing? For example, the specific error that TB is encountering? I tried thunderbird -g but I'm not sure what to do with the debugger.
