G'day All,

For what it is worth, several of my older computer single core systems exhibited the freeze up and on occasions displaying the black squares in the four corners of the screen. My solution search returned a recommendation to disable hardware acceleration in the browser "settings". Since this was easy to do, I gave it a try and have had improved results for playback and stability. The black square issue appears to be eliminated. There are still some news web sites with auto loading flash video feeds that occasionally still lock things up to the point of a power cycle but those are much less frequent.

Cheers!

There is this one:

chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_50.0.2661.102.files
I'm not sure if this is interesting at all but I would like to report chromecast works with this browser via the following extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... fd/support

One downside is that when you share a tab with chromecast it stops the audio on your local computer and sends it to the TV. I would like to be able to choose which device (or possibly have both) play/s the audio.

Also it is supposedly possible to share an entire desktop. I haven't figured out how to do this yet.

edit: I found a solution but the task bar comes partly off the screen when I do it.

From redit:
Figured it out.
1) Go to "Back to the Device List" on the Google Cast button in your browser.
2) Click the little chevron/down arrow
3) Click "Cast Entire Screen." Now the audio should play through your laptop; this means you can play it via headphones, or through BlueTooth audio as I'm doing!
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this is fixed in the newer releases but the history feature (either cntrl-H or via the menu) is shutting down the browser.

Morning, peebee.

I'm guessing this is to do with the glibc issue again, yes? I've just packaged Chrome 53.0.2785.101 for 64-bit Tahr/Slacko, and it's working fine. I'm posting from it now.

As we all know, specific versions of Chrome have always been taken from the equivalent version's Chromium project source code.....and then re-compiled against an older version of the glibc. At least, that's how it seems to have been done for several years now.

I'm guessing Google have always employed this practice to ensure Chrome's 'use-ability' on the largest possible number of machines.....

How long this practice will continue is, of course, anybody's guess..! We shall see. I never thought I would see the practice evolving (on the Linux side of the fence) where the user has to upgrade the entire OS just to be able to continue to use their favourite browser safely..... :roll:


Mike. :wink:

Hi Mike

Yes

AlienBob (who does the chromium compiles) only seems to have the effort available to compile Chromium-53 for slackware-14.2 / current - maybe somebody else will take up the slackware-14.1 update....we shall see...

..and unfortunately for alienbob and his family and the greater community that effort may be cut short as Eric has received notice from his employer.

Ouch..!

Alienbob's the same age as me. It's no fun trying to re-engage back in the jobs marketplace at our time of life..... :shock:

I wish him the best of luck. He's going to need it.

Alternative version for tahrpup etc.

#293 Post by peebee »

UPDATED 11-oct-16

chromium_53.0.2785.116+pepper_23.0.0.185.sfs

This version of chromium comes from the OpenMandriva project

It appears to work on:
tahrpup-6.0.5 and derivatives (LxPupTahr-15.12.1 and X-Tahr-2.0)

It also works on "2016" era pups such as:
xenialpup-7.0.4 and derivatives (LxPupXenial-16.08.2)
slacko-6.9.6.1
LxPupSc-16.09.3

It sadly doesn't work on:
slacko-6.3.2 and derivatives (LxPup-s-16.07.1 and X-Slacko-4.2)
LxPupPrecise-15.09.1

It's also a bit smaller (10MB) than the AlienBob Slackware builds.

Please test and report any issues.

64-bit version in later post

Since Brave is a Chromium fork - any chance of it for Puppy via a PET or SFS, please?

Thanks ...

Only available as 64-bit....
Brave for Linux comes in two versions:
64 bit .deb for Debian/Ubuntu and 64 bit .rpm for Fedora/openSUSE.
Would depend on what dependencies it had been compiled for - if systemd or pulseaudio is a dependency then its a NO-NO....

I've tried several Search queries & so far nothing re. Brave & either pulseaudio or systemd have shown up.

When I get some time I'll have to try the Brave user forum & ask there.

Thanks ...

Quick test on slacko64-6.9.6.1 converting .rpm to .pet shows no missing dependencies however running gives errors:

Is it a complex process to make JavaScript available where it's looking for it?

I'm a long way from even elementary coding any more - beyond some HTML & CSS.

EDIT: Just posted a question to Twitter copied to Brave - hopefully someone there will look here and offer a solution.

Chromium 53 hangs when trying to print

#300 Post by MagicZaurus »

I'm using chromium_53.0.2785.116+pepper_23.0.0.162.sfs (from the OpenMandriva Project) on Tahrpup 6.0.5.

I observed that Chromium will hang when I try to print a page from the browser directly. Choosing to save as PDF in the print dialog is fine and later printing the PDF is also fine. Maybe a newer version of CUPS is required. Here CUPS is 1.4.8.

No big issue, just in case somebody else experiences the same problem.

So far everything else seems to be working fine.
