(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Just installed the 2.5 mb static version in quirky006 just for a test. It works pretty good. Am using it to post this.
Works well with privoxy 3.0.12(localhost:8118).
Occasionally I lose the scrollbar when maximised but returns when windowed and remaximised.
Live audio stream via flash is working as I post now and seamonkey is running concurrently.

ADDED for Dpup484b4:
In dpup484b4, one needs to place the symlinks to /lib/firefox/plugins in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder via: select all while in /lib/firefox/plugins, ctrl-shift-drag to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Then all existing plugins are enabled and working. My /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins happened to be empty to begin with here, but other dpup systems may be different, so check it first.

While posting to forum, the processor would peg at 100% so had to kill. Trying now with JSCRIPT toggled off. This seems to eliminate the crashes from pressing back button as well.

Moans: using light house 4.3.3-f

I'll repackage it when I get home tonight along with gnutls and the header files - It was really late (or early) and I had to manually build the package because new2dir(installwatch) doesn't pick up waf installs... still - can't believe I missed the midori binary. I applied a patch to remove libIDN requirement from webkitgtk as well (the patch to allow glib instead of libICU is already applied in webkitgtk-1.1.19), so I'll post the -IDN patch too. I just ran out of time and got in a hurry.


Read the Midori website faq regarding the icons - you need a large appropriate icon theme (tango etc...) to remove the messages - should not affect operations though

I reposted the shared midori with the dependencies included - turns out I packaged my working directory by accident. Afterwards I noticed that the icon does not show up in the jwm menu (even though it is displayed in ROX and other window managers)

Fix:
replace the following line in /usr/share/applications/midori.desktop
Icon=midori
with
Icon=midori.png

This will be fixed in the split package.

I am running the first package .So far it plays well with e17 in Foxy 3. The only issue i have found is that you need to enter the url twice to add a page to the speed dial.

The new Midori-shared is working, although it's crashed on me twice already and sometimes the scrollbar disappears. I'll keep playing with it, but I don't know if it's stable enough, it sure is fast though.

I didn't use the "stable" versions of webkit or midori since the glib unicode functionality is less than a week old (I've been tracking it), so any bug reports that you can post to their bug tracker could help it become stable (if it is unicode related it is probably webkit)

DEV files and split libraries are here:
http://code.google.com/p/puppy-developm ... loads/list

Ok, I'll calm down and wait a bit.
Both crashes occurred when I pressed the Back button, so I don't think it's a unicode problem.

has anyone tested this on a variety of unicode sites - one of the big arguments against using glib was that the unicode conversion would be slow compared to libICU

It does not load fro me at all thats why I posted the error log in the hope that you had the icons so I don't have to download a very load icon pack. Sorry.

abushcrafter:

It installed and worked with LHP 443F basic pfix=ram but I got same error when I installed and started it with save file and KDE sfs and Mariner sfs. You should try the same. It is possible that something with those sfs interfere with Midori.

I do though.

if you have already installed the updated glib (required), then try running strace strace is the poor man's debuggerhttp://linux.die.net/man/1/strace
the culprit should be somewhere near the end of the file.
if you can't identify it, gzip midori_log and post it.

i have segfaults in quirky 006 if i open a new tab

Here is the log. I have decided to just get on with downloading the tango icons which will probably be useful to have any way .

the last thing that tries to load in a rhapsody plugin

/root/.mozilla/plugins/nprhapengine.so

google turns up a lot of segfaults with it

I tried it but I'm apparently missing a file called libenchant.so.1. Has anyone else had this problem?

@colonel panic
use petget to install enchant and either ispell, aspell or myspell - these should be included on pretty much every puppy, so you must have a stripped down puplet

Thanks for your advice. I've got enchant now, but the puppy repo doesn't have any of the spell packages - at least, they aren't visible in the petget listing.

I think that the enchant package has 1 or 2 smaller spell packages already (probably ispell?) The important thing... is it working now, regardless of spell check?
