If like us, you try to keep the majority of the software you use open source, then Mozilla Thunderbird (with the Lightning add-on) might just be the perfect solution to your PIM (personal information manager) needs.
We use Thunderbird exclusively within our organisation for email, and with the Lightning add-on, for task and calendar management.
Recently, we have come across an issue with Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) whereby the New Event and New Task buttons were greyed out or disabled – making adding calendar entries impossible.
This was fixed by uninstalling the add-on, closing Thunderbird and running the following command in a terminal session:
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
Reinstalling the add-on after libstdc++5 was installed fixed the issue – the calendar portion worked as it should. It appears that this prerequisite was not installed on the machine we were using.
