How to Install Thunderbird 3 Shredder in Ubuntu 9.10/9.04/8.10

Newest Mozilla email client Thunderbird 3 was released a few days ago,and now only the tar file available for download.However,I’m not like compiling this from the source code.This post will show how to install thunderbird 3.0/3.1beta from the ppa.

For Ubuntu 9.10,add the Mozilla PPA by typing this in terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa

For Ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10,add following into /etc/apt/source.list by this command to edit it:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

for 9.04:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

for 8.10:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

and add the gpg key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE

Finally,use this command to install 3.0 or 3.1 version:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get update
