 |
|
When I run thunderbird I get the following error:
| Code: | $ thunderbird
/usr/lib64/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to send command: 500 command not parseable
Browser doesn't understand command |
This only happens running as ordinary user. Root has no problem. |

I just developed the same problem, did you ever find a solution?
Here's another thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-534855-highlight-thunderbird+mozillaxremoteclient.html
Basically, re-emerge openldap, I'm trying that now.

It was some combination of emerge openldap / revdep-rebuild that fixed it. Very strange problem.

Bah, this error just started happening after upgrading tightvnc and k9copy:
| Code: | emerge -uD k9copy tightvnc
media-libs/libvorbis-1.1.2-r1
virtual/jdk-1.6.0
net-misc/tightvnc-1.3.9
media-sound/lame-3.97-r1
media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc1_p20070622-r4
app-cdr/k9copy-1.1.3 |
I don't know wtf any of these have to do with openldap or thunderbird, but this is the second upgrade in a row that has caused some sort of system breakage.
I ran revdep with no results, rebuilt openldap, and ran revdep again, again with no results. Anyone else?
[edit]
Turns out a prior thunderbird process had not exited correctly as discussed in this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-515141-highlight-thunderbird+mozillaxremoteclient.html
in short:
then kill the process number(s) that show up
| Code: | kill -9 process_number
|
[/edit]

The same results can be achieved by using killall -9 -r '.*thund.*', though more complete specification of the name of the processes to be terminated is recommended. |
