Only 1 email indexed: Thunderbird on Ubuntu Hardy

joeuser · 06-14-2008, 09:11 AM

Google Desktop indexes only 1 of many e-mails on Thunderbird. I have latest versions of both GD and TB installed in default locations. TB installed first and is marked as default under preferences.

I think my problem is that I have to run TB as root in order for some of my other extensions to work. I haven't tried running Google Desktop as root yet, which may be the next logical step, but that seems like a drag.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Running as root worked: sudo /opt/google/desktop/bin/gdlinux start.

I'm not completely thrilled to have to start GD manually, but I guess not that big of a deal.
