Re: [Solved] Thunderbird restoration

I removed then re-installed Phoenity icons and they now work. I am still not happy with the placement and style of customised icons within the message body, instead of in the bar above as they were previously. I shall tinker some more. I also found that one grouped list of addresses in Address Book ...

Re: [Solved] Thunderbird restoration

That's odd. According the TB add ons page, it is waiting for the Phoenity developer to provide an update for TB 115. I'll check again tomorrow when I start the computer.

Re: Thunderbird 115 Update - Solved

I also dislike the new TB 115, which I raised as a separate thread by inadvertently reporting it as Firefox.

Re: Thunderbird restoration

Ok, Thats good to hear. No need to try anything I suggested then. Thank you for letting me know. :) Thanks for the help. Even though I discovered a way to do it without your suggestions, I find it always helps to describe the problem and any actions taken in writing, then approach it again the next...

Re: Thunderbird restoration

Before trying any of your suggestions I somehow managed to restore my old profile onto the new Thunderbird, so I now have a working email application. The font sizes had changed (an easy fix), Phoenity icons no longer work, and the layout of the toolbars does not look quite as it was. Nevertheless T...

Re: Firefox restoration

Ashamed to admit I made an enormous mistake in my first post by referring to Firefox when I should have written Thunderbird. I'll amend the title and text.

[Solved] Thunderbird restoration

Good day all. I updated Thunderbird today which lost all the add-ons etc. so I Timeshifted back to a date from when it was working correctly. That older version would not work with the new profile so I changed to the previous profile. That too did not work so I tried to set up a new profile but Thun...

Re: [SOLVED] Printer problem after update

I saw it this morning along with a couple of other updates. I'll do the other updates tomorrow, then test and take a snapshot before installing the CUPS update. I'll report back afterwards.

Many thanks. I'll see what happens at the next update. Even if it does not work at least I know now how to get round it.

Re: Printer problem after update

The plan worked. I restored to a Timeshift snapshot from when I knew the printer was working, then updated everything offered by Update Manager except CUPS. Printing now works as expected. Screenshot from 2023-09-20 08-48-29.png I have blacklisted this update so that I do not inadvertently install i...

Re: Printer problem after update

Troubleshooting this with HP diagnostics revealed that there is no queueing (a bizarre concept that I do not understand,) enabled. Screenshot from 2023-09-19 11-24-47.png I enabled sharing in the Policies setting as suggested and the printer then showed as Idle so I thought I was getting somewhere. ...

Re: Printer problem after update

There were 11 updates on the 15th September with cups in their names. Those are the most recent which occurred when I fully updated that day. Prior to that date CUPS packages were updated on 23rd June. Determining precisely when the printer fault happened is not possible as it is only used occasiona...

Re: Printer problem after update

I did not notice a CUPS update in particular, but if there was one I would have run it because I routinely apply all updates within a few days of being notified.

Re: Printer problem after update

Brian. I made some alterations yesterday before seeing your reply. The current state of play is that I have reverted to the current kernel and updated everything, then changed my Firefox profile to the old one, though that is probably not relevant to the printer problem. To answer your questions, th...

Re: Printer problem after update

I take duplicate backups of Home at least once per week using Grsync, so I should have my profile somewhere. Unfortunately I don't know where to find the profile or how to substitute it in Firefox.

[SOLVED] Printer problem after update

Good day folks. After a kernel update to 5.4.0-159.176 my printer (a HP Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M281fdw) no longer worked. I forgot to note the error message exactly but I think it was the Device URI. I proved the printer was still functional by printing from another computer running Chrome OS, so I...

Re: Password Manager

I would have done for a newcomer, but the OP having been a member of the forum for ten years I expected him to know how to search it. Is that so unreasonable?
