In my perception Thunderbird, after having been 10+ years a highlight of my desktop, has become so unstable (even deleting its local folder after an Arch upgrade one time) that i now have constantly SeaMonkey -- statically linked -- as backup Mail User Agent. Each Arch upgrade has become a hit and miss in that regard, a real lottery: what surprise will Thunderbird have this time? I don't use the RSS functionality, but I use heavily the calendar. On Thunderbird i can't use it anymore since approx. two weeks because the calendar view flickers, making it unreadable. Daniel David C. Rankin a écrit :
All,
In Thunderbird 128.3.3esr if I check the RSS Recent Package feed from Arch, Thunderbird hangs showing the check is continually ongoing and never finishes. This takes a continual 143% CPU (about 1/3 of the 4-core i-7)
It gets the Recent Packages just fine, but never stops.
Checking with tcpdump the connection to 95.217.163.246 initializes just fine with the QUIC protocol and then continues with the data transferred.
The last message from 95.217.163.246 is a TCP ACK and then nothing else. Thunderbird just shown the little icon next to the feed as busy (little ball going back and forth) and the CPU is pegged at about 150%.
(other than just looking at the tcpdump data in Wireshark - it's pretty much Greek to me)
There is no way to cancel the check except to "Pause" the RSS feed and then shutdown thunderbird and restart it. If I then "unPause" the RSS feed after restarting tbird, the same thing happened.
I've been subscribed to the RSS feed for years. This just started a couple of days ago. What should I check or look for to try and figure out why the RSS feed check never finishes and shuts down?
