 |
|
After a bunch of recent emerges with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" (including going to KDE 3.5, new gtk+, etc.) my thunderbird stopped working. It opens up its window, lists the mailboxex and RSS feeds, activates the STOP button, displays the busy/wait cursor, then just continues to take 100% CPU for as long as I let it to. It can only be killed... Did anyone experience this behavior? Or better yet, found the remedy  |

~x86 is as you know a bit unstable (they are always marked for a very good reason too).
I'd suggest:
Try the stable version
Set some sane CFLAGS

I did try the stable version of thunderbird but the problem seems related to some other very recent emerges that I've done.
Is there an emerge history somewhere? |

You could always try /var/log/emerge.log

| I now begin to believe that the culprit has been the state of my Mail/Local Folders. I have reinstalled Thunderbird an manually moved my inbox to the new .thunderbird directory and I can open it now (need to move all the other folders as well...) But I do not know what is the nature of that Mail archives state that makes Thunderbird loop forever |
