Hello everyone, I installed and tried Bodhi Linux for the first time and I'm very happy with that system on my old PC. I updated and upgraded everything. I'm now using Bodhi 6.1.0.
So, I tried to install Thunderbird via Bodhi AppCenter and also with the terminal. All installations seem to be good, but after starting the app, the system will freeze. There's only a border of the Thunderbird app being displayed. Even the whole system will hang up after trying to do a restart. The PC has to be switched off.
Maybe, a package is missing or something. What can I do?
Thanks.

Best way is to run application from command line to see the output.

You could try using the Nvidia Proprietary video driver. The version for your GPU is no longer officially supported by ubuntu or nvidia, but does work far better than the open source nouveau (I use it on two of my machines) and will prevent lockups, probably this one. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/nvidia-legacy
sudo apt install nvidia-340
reboot
Reply back if it solves your thunderbird issue (or if it doesn't).

Thanks. I found out that the issues on Bodhi 5.1.0 were less as on Bodhi 6.1.0. And it works better with the Nvidia Proprietary Driver, but sometimes it still crashes. I believe it has something to do with the fact that it is an on-board graphics chip which uses parts of the RAM. I will install a separate PCIE graphics card and we will see what happens. I keep you informed.

Hey there, I just installed a regular PCIE graphics card (Radeon HD5450 2GB). Now it works perfect. Do I have to deactivate the on-board graphics chip and drivers in Bodhi? And how?
