Great news a. When I upgraded in the same manner as you have, I had to copy my T-Bird and Firefox profiles into their respective locations in order to get my mail, etc. to show up. I'm really glad you have a functioning system now and that Jason burned the midnight oil! That's dedication so congrats!

NMGLugers & a & Jared, this is not so hard. Debian even with sudo added may not allow a user to escalate privileges. It is all working well. But the User must be aware of privileges. a, you can call if this is still an issue. Ted P.

Hi a,

Sometimes you get good info about why a program crashes when you open it from the terminal.

pkexec synaptic

Give us the output if you see errors.

To install synaptic:

sudo apt install synaptic

I didn't understand the issue under the "ALTERNATELY" section. Have you tried to create a test profile?

thunderbird -p

I'm glad you had fun at the Santa Fe meetup!

Regards,

Jared
