Thunderbird using 100% CPU on newly installed ArcaOS 5.0.6

(1/10) > >>

Bennie Nelson:
Today I migrated to ArcaOS 5.0.6 from v5.0.4. I copied my Thunderbird content from the old machine and dropped it into C:\HOME. Thunderbird starts OK, but after about 5 minutes, it starts using 100% until I kill it using top.

I have been using this method for email migration on OS/2 and Linux since the Netscape days, and I've not seen this before. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and I how I can remedy this?

Thanks,
Bennie Nelson

Dariusz Piatkowski:
What version of Thunderbird are you running?

Dave released an update a couple of weeks ago, you can find it on Hobbes. I am running 45.8.0 which came from thunderbird-45.8.0.en-US.os2-Pentium-m-17112020.zip, so far no problems, the update went fine although I did have to add LIBVPX RPM package I think.

Dave Yeo:
I take it that the profile was previously in C:\home? Did you try looking in the activity monitor (under Tools) to see if there was any activity?

Bennie Nelson:
I should have given the system specs:

Thunderbird 45.8.0 was installed with ArcaOS. I zipped the contents of C:/Home/Thunderbird, including the subdirectories on the prior VM and unzipped them into the same location on the VM. Regarding libvpx: version 1.6.1-1.oc00 is installed, but yum lists both older and newer versions (1.4.0 and 1.8.2).

ArcaOS is running in a virtual machine under VirtualBox 6.1.16, with the Guest Additions installed by the ArcaOS installer. The virtual machine was set up using the instructions provided at the link below:

The VM has 1 CPU, 2 GB RAM, and plenty of disk space (12 GB free).

I cannot find a folder called 'Tools', but I did run the CPU Monitor and it shows the CPU at 100%.

Thanks,
Bennie Nelson

Sorry for not being clear, Tools is the Thunderbird menu item. With only one CPU is Thunderbird at all responsive?
