Introduction
Love Thunderbird, but also need to manage your schedule? Do it from within the popular email client. Lightning extension to Thunderbird enables a fully featured Calendar Application which also allows sending or receiving meeting invitations via email. Lightning also supports Web-based calendars, such as Google Calendar.
Requirements
Before proceeding with the installation, please ensure you've reviewed the Lightning Linux System Requirements.
Installation for Hardy Heron 8.04 + Lightning 0.8
Lightning extension is now provided by Ubuntu universe repositories. Simply install package lightning-extension, or type
sudo apt-get install lightning-extension
That will install version 0.8 of Lightning.
Installation of a newer version of Lightning or for old versions of Ubuntu when lightning-extension is not provided
This information is relevant to those who want to use the latest version of Lightning. Current version is 0.9 (November 2008).
Selecting Architecture for Lightning Extension
Lightning extension is architecture-specific. That is, if you are running 64-bit Thunderbird, you must run 64-bit Lightning. If you are running 32-bit version of Ubuntu, download 32-bit version of the extension. If you are running 64-bit version of Ubuntu,
- If you are using Thunderbird from repositories, you are running 64-bit version of Thunderbird.
- If you have used Ubuntuzilla, then you are running 32-bit version of Thunderbird.
- Swiftdove an optimized build of the Mozilla Thunderbird code is available in 32bit and 64bit versions. It has Lightning installed by default.
Do not try to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Lightning. Select one of two versions below that matches your Thunderbird application.
Downloading and Installing 32-bit Lightning
- Point your browser to Lightning :: Thunderbird Add-ons
- Right-click the green button Install Now (Linux) and choose "Save Link As..." to download and save the file to your hard disk.
- In Mozilla Thunderbird, open Add-ons from the Tools menu.
- Click the Install button, and locate/select the file you downloaded and click "OK".
- Restart Thunderbird.
Downloading and Installing 64-bit Lightning
- Point your browser to [1]
- Right-click the link named lightning-0.9-linux-x86_64.xpi and choose "Save Link As..." to download and save the file to your hard disk.
- In Mozilla Thunderbird, open Add-ons from the Tools menu.
- Click the Install button, and locate/select the file you downloaded and click "OK".
- Restart Thunderbird.
Troubleshooting
- If your Calendar buttons appear but most options are greyed out, it's likely the system|requirements were not in place prior to installing lightning. Uninstall Lightning, meet the system requirements, then re-install Lightning.
- Lightning 0.5 supports only Classic view of Mozilla Thunderbird. In Thunderbird, select View/Layout/Classic View. Lightning 0.7 adds support for multiple Views.
- If you see several colored bars instead of calendar grid, you are probably running the wrong architecture of Lightning. Verify whether your Thunderbird is 32-bit or 64-bit and download the matching copy of Lightning.
- Try looking for answers in Lightning FAQ and Mozilla Calendar Wiki.
