[SOLVED] Thunderbird-12 does not play new mail notification

mlangdn · 04-29-2012, 05:47 PM

I did the upgrade to TB-12 in -current, and I finally noticed that the new mail notification does not work. I reverted back to 11.0 and the notification plays just fine. A google search turned up all kinds of stuff for this issue in the past, but none of it seems to apply to now.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Same here.
I had to down grade tbird and Seamonkey in 13.37
In current I had to also downgrade seamonkey-slolibs

Is it just the audio notification not working? If so I've the same issue under Debian. I've been having some sound problems recently though so I put it down to that.

Yep, just the sound.
However I did have trouble forwarding email with tbird in -current but that was also fixed with the downgrade.

Then looks like I am having the same problem. For the record I use Thunderbird current binary from Mozilla kept up to date through its own update mechanism.

I hadn't yet tried to forward anything, so I have no idea if that was working. Replies were fine. I can live without sound, the popup alert works fine, its just that I like the audio alert when I'm in another room.

TB-12.0.1 is in -current. It was supposed to fix new mail notifications. It didn't - still doesn't play sound.

i think it requires a new dependency: libcanberra

libcanberra was already installed on my system. However, I rebuilt the package through sbopkg and now the sound works. Go figger....

Anyway, thanks Willy!
