Lightning Calendar Plug-In for Thunderbird AMD64

July 21, 2007 at 9:01 am by Daniel • Filed under Lightning Plug-In, Internet Apps, Office Productivity

Mozilla Sunbird is a calendar project that's being designed as a sister program to Thunderbird and Firefox. It's now at the 0.5 version, and there is a plug-in that integrates Sunbird with Thunderbird, called Lightning. It allows you to not only have a calendar, but send and receive meeting requests as well.

I'm running Thunderbird 2 under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04) on the AMD64 architecture, and could not find a pre-compiled version of this that worked. So, I decided to give it a shot. It was pretty easy, and the result is a plug-in that works with the AMD64 version of Thunderbird! Since I had trouble finding it, I thought I would share it.

Since I have just started using it, I haven't wrung it out, or tested all the options. Use at your own risk, etc.

You can download the plug-in here. Happy storming! ;)

You're welcome.  There is a newer version, and Mozilla is actually hosting a 64-bit plug-in now - check out releases.mozilla.org/.../, and look in the contrib/linux-x86-64 subdirectory for each version.

Great stuff - I'm running Thunderbird on Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) AMD64 on both laptop and desktop. Found Lightning for the 32-bit Hardy version on my Eee, and was disappointed to find it wouldn't install on my AMD64 systems, so this was very welcome.

Any chance of an AMD64 version of the Lightning 0.9 build? I've been getting notifications of the Lightning 0.9 update lately, and of course it won't install on my AMD64 build Frown

Cheers

It looks like they're hosting them now.  You can get the version 0.9 plugin at releases.mozilla.org/.../ in the "contributed builds" section.  Smile  (How I got there was going to the Lightning Download Page at www.mozilla.org/.../download.html , then clicking "Other Systems", then "linux-x86_64".)
