Winning Line of Effort

  1. Install latest Thunderbird
  2. Install net-tools – in order to be able to run netstat command
  3. sudo netstat -plant | grep 80   –  to see what is hanging out on port 80
  4. Saw nginx on port 80
  5. sudo systemctl stop nginx
  6. this time when I entered the credentials and gave permissions there were no problems and setup completed

 

Process Notes

  1. Installed latest version as of 7/14/2024 – has problem allowing me to give permissions for the various services on Google.
  2. Tried downloading v91.1.2 from Research Link #1 below – would not install due to dependency issues.
  3. Tried downloading v91.1.2 from Research Link #2 below – program lit up but had same sort of issue "Secure connection failed" – this looked like same issue as with newest version step #2
  4. How to install Thunderbird with Terminal  –  sudo apt install thunderbird

You will have to download thunderbird-dbg from the repository you linked to BEFORE you can install Thunderbird itself. You may find there are other things you'll need to track down too.

A better bet would be to get it from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/91.1.2/linux-x86_64/. Choose the language you want and click that then thunderbird-91.1.2.tar.bz2. That is a tar achieve file so when it's downloaded open it and you'll find a folder called thunderbird. Copy that wherever you like. To run it either open that folder with your file manager and click the file called thunderbird. You can also add a custom launcher for it to your menu and/or panel.
