Ubuntu Lucid comes with Thunderbird 3.0.4 which has to use a beta version of lightning 1.0. lightning 1.0 is not available in the Lucid repository. You have to download the extension from the Thunderbird site:

  • The current lightning on the Thunderbird site - 1.0b2 - is not compatible with Thunderbird 3.0.4. You need to use 1.0b1 - the older version.
  • So you need to download the older version (1.0b1) from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2313/versions/

There is one more problem - The calendar display will display nothing - everything else works but not the calendar display. The problem here is because of the missing libstdc++5 which is no longer available in Lucid as it is now using libstdc++6. The solution is to add a soft link with the required libstdc++5 filename to point to libstd++6: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5That will solve the display problem.
