User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100915 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.10
Build Identifier: TB 3.1.4 + Lightning 1.0b2

Hi,
I have a laptop in dualboot with Vista and Ubuntu 10.04 (french versions) .
In order to share Thunderbird with these 2 OS, I have my profile in a FAT32 partition.
All work perfectly with the 2 OS except the Lightning module.

With the Lightning 1.0b2 win version :
Not problem under Vista, but under Ubuntu, my calendars aren't displayed at all: the list of calendars is empty (there's nothing). Besides I can't create a new calendar or import one.


With the Lightning 1.0b2 linux version :
The calendars aren't displayed under the 2 OS.

Regards,

Thierry

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Under Vista, install TB 3.1.4 + Lightning 1.02b win version. Create a new profile on a FAT32 partition. And create a calendar
2.Under Ubuntu 10.04, install TB 3.1.4 and with Profile Manager choose the profile on the FAT32 partition in order to have the same profile under Vista.
Actual Results:  
Under Ubuntu, the calendars created under Vista aren't at all displayed.

Expected Results:  
Under Ubuntu, the calendars created under Vista should be displayed.

Besides, under Ubuntu it's impossible to create or import a calendar.

It happens with 32 bits systems.

Expected behavior because Lightning is platform dependent. If you install the Linux package in Ubuntu it won't work in Windows. Vice versa if you install the Windows package.

It isn't an expected behavior because with the Linux version of Lightning nothing works : in Vista (normal for a platform dependant) but in Ubuntu too.

Currently you can't share the entire profile unless you create your own lightning package that contains both windows and linux files. Or install lightning globally instead of per-profile.
