May I ask which website gives you the ssl errors? I am using the latest version 1.1.19 and have no ssl errors with gmail and hotmail.

Not frequently. I have experienced SSL certificate error while logging www.facebook.com etc. This may be occasional glitch. Anyway I am extensively using Slimbrowser. Thank you all.

No segmentation fault or missing libraries message in the launching console?

No message either lauching through command prompt or clicking slimboat.sh. No output at all. She is adamant!. Please lookinto this.

FlashPeak has just posted SlimBoat 1.1.20. Maybe you can try it out and see if it makes any difference.

By the way, where did you download this Arch Puppy? I might install it and try it out sometime.

I just downloaded archpup-12.12.2 from this forum post: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=671851#671851 . Extract slimboat_i386.tar.xz (v1.1.20) together with the gstream libs listed on http://www.slimboat.com/en/dlpage.php . It runs fine for me.

Anyway I may be unlucky in Arch Puppy. May be due to some conflict with other programs.

1.1.23 out, will try with mageia puppy as I have been looking for a single default replacement browser and this one looks interesting

wow! Very Impressed, the things this can do are great!

And the win$ and puppy versions actually handle the same to the user.

If Eyes-Only says it's good then I must try it Smile

Seems like some Slimboat developers found this thread so I guess it will be good if they keep it compatible with puppy from early versions.
With all these mainstream browsers going heavy on size and resources we pupians always like to find something like this as long as it has enough functionality and compatibility with current web standards, that's why I still use seamonkey but I'll test this ASAP.
Too bad it's not GPL/open source. Confused

I know what you mean Smile

OK, sooo... I tried this on my puppy, it does seem fast, flash won't work for me though I tried to copy libflashplayer.so from seamonkey plugins dir to slimboat/plugins; slimboat/libs; slimboat/plugins/codecs; and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins - is that where it's usually located in lucid/precise since I understand it works out of the box there?

Also I noticed tab names and toolbar buttons don't always update according to current page.

EDIT: Oh yeah this is on dpup485, I installed generic linux 32bit package and added gstreamer libs from squeeze repo
