Comments on: Lightning 1.3 Released http://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2012/03/lightning-1-3-released/ Its about time for some news... Thu, 21 Mar 2013 20:27:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Mike http://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2012/03/lightning-1-3-released/#comment-3932 Mike Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:42:46 +0000 http://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/?p=464#comment-3932 I have the same problem as described here…

Lightning keeps switching back to 1.2.3 and getting disabled.

is this a lightning issue, or a thunderbird one?
I think it works ok on my home computer, but not on my work one where I’m not an admin. Could this be the issue?

If you haven’t switched to Daylight Savings yet, then perhaps it’s not related to that. Just thought it was a bit of a coincidence, as some of the recent changes appeared to be time zone related and parts of North America had recently switch to Daylight Savings.

Just as this time, except that the comm-beta got replaced by that strange 1.4b2 every time.

Some of the error messages I see:
- Some undefined entities in chrome://calendar/…xul files and chrome://lightning/…xul files (menu, toolbarbutton, menuitem, etc)
- document.getElementById(kWorkdaysCommand) is null
from chrome://calendar/content/calendar-base-view.xml
- LOTS of ReferenceError: calendarController2 is not defined in chrome://global/content/globalOverlay.js line 86
- Some calendarUpdateNewItemsCommand is not defined from chrome://calendar/content/calendar-management.js line 247

I also see the chrome manifest error, but it seems to be caused by the dictionaries. Looks quite similar to AJ’s. And its probably not Daylight Savings, as we still have some hours left until we switch.

I won’t list them all because there are too many, but the first few are (from oldest to newest):

- Could not read chrome manifest…(filename)

- Error: undefined entity
Source File: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-common-sets.xul
Line: 422, Column: 7
Source Code:
<menu id="task-context-menu-postpone"

- Error: undefined entity
Source File: chrome://lightning/content/lightning-toolbar.xul
Line: 125, Column: 7
Source Code:
<toolbarbutton id="calendar-goto-today-button"

- Error: undefined entity
Source File: chrome://lightning/content/lightning-menus.xul
Line: 417, Column: 9
Source Code:
<menu id="ltnTaskActionsPostponeMenuitem"

- Error: undefined entity
Source File: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-unifinder.xul
Line: 89, Column: 15
Source Code:
<menuitem id="event-filter-currentview"

- Error: undefined entity
Source File: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-task-view.xul
Line: 77, Column: 11
Source Code:
<textbox id="task-text-filter-field" type="search" flex="1"

- Error: document.getElementById(kWorkdaysCommand) is null
Source File: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-base-view.xml
Line: 289
(this error is repeated two more times)

- Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [calIDateTime.getInTimezone]" nsresult: "0×80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-base-view.xml :: today :: line 537" data: no]

There are a lot more, but hopefully that will be enough to give some kind of idea. Could this be time zone related, as we just switched over to Daylight Savings Time on March 11th?

When I click on the Calendar tab, the calendar pops up, but nothing except the hours (and only 00:00 – 21:00) on the left hand side is displayed in the “Today” view (or any other view, for that matter). No events are shown or even lines separating the hours. The Month view in the top left highlights dates that had events assigned to them, but when I click on the date, the “Today” view doesn’t change and the events don’t appear. Also, to close the Calendar tab, the cross (or “x”) on the right doesn’t seem to work. Instead, I have to right click on the tab and select “Close Tab”. I’ve tried disabling all my other add-ons, but that didn’t help. I had no problem with TB 11 and Lightning 1.4b1. Just wondering if this was the same thing that Udo was encountering with 1.4b2 or if this is a different issue?

What kind of errors are you getting?

Not sure what its named. I’d suggest creating a new profile and seeing how it works out from there.

Problem is, the nightlies are 1.4b1, and addon update always updates me to some 1.4b2 that is NOT working. Any chance to stop this update deadlock?

“Reply:
Do you get any error consoles messages? Is lightning really installed and enabled? The calendar data comes back as soon as you have a working Lightning installed. Please don’t use the reviews as a support forum!”
Lightning IS installed and enabled. I can add a new event to the calendar and it displays only that new event.

There were error messages – multiple instances of:

“2012-03-20 17:23:55 gloda.datastore ERROR got error in _asyncTrackerListener.handleError(): 11: database disk image is malformed”

I suppose that would say that the database is bad… but trying the backup copy also gave the same results. Running integrity check via the SQLITE utility shows no errors. The database seems to be completely readable. I can see my events in it.
