Nope that is how it looks like for me too when it happens. Every youtube I test just show the black screen. Sadly I fail to remember exactly when this happen. Si see no pattern to it. I usually just try to get rid of the block by restarting the xorg. Sometimes that work and sometimes not . I have noscript on my and have accepted youtube and those sites that usually are related to it. And most of them time it just works but when the error or lock happens then nothing helps. _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum |

Yes Semme I did that and followed instructions and got it installed and recognised by firefox . So I now have Version 11.2.202.228 to be exact. No change !!! Bugger Semme the ".so" file I downladed came out extracted as 17 Meg Yours came out as ....17Meg Sorry to doubt but you have to be careful in these things _________________ Neither my Family nor my Property are Government issues.

At this point. hate to say it but. I think I will dump Firefox and stick with SeaMonkey or re-investigate the old Opera or other browsers . This behaviour with mozilla is not acceptable no matter what their justification is. End of story. Semmes suggestions of toggling "blocklists-enabled" in about:config did nothing Also the start firefox in "-safe-mode" did not work I also tried nooby's suggestion of restarting the xserver and that closes the internet connection and reconnects it if you have it set on automatic load on bootup. -that did not work for me. _________________ Neither my Family nor my Property are Government issues.

Ty, does Slacko ship with a particular version of FF or did you have to grab it from the repos? If the latter here.. which version did you start with and how'd you get to eleven? Can you recall the build you might've installed.. such as i486 or i686..? Does Slacko offer your system an updated graphics driver or not? Have you adjusted any of these global settings? Is it only when you're signed in? |

OOOPS !! My mistake I put Firefox in its own directory and started it with "firefox" I found out here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=77341 that I should have started it with "exec /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox "$@" This makes all the difference but I don't know why . Guess it is running the shell file first ? Hope Nooby and Semme will forgive me wasting their time. _________________ Neither my Family nor my Property are Government issues.

Maybe I do something unusual too having very similar problem. So I don't mind. So if it works now then you maybe should change the title to Lost UTube and other video playing [Solved] No criticism just a friendly reminder ) _________________ I use Google Search on Puppy Forum |

Hmm I thought it was solved but it isn't Just fiddling I brought a new shortcut for Firefox onto the desktop . Edited it and it was linked to just "firefox" without the shell script start up. I used it to open firefox and it went to my home page and also played a Utube video perfectly. So I am at a loss to explain this now? _________________ Neither my Family nor my Property are Government issues.

Ty, it only shows from where my executable's called. Note mine doesn't go through run-mozilla.sh and videos play fine. If I plug: ldd /usr/lib/firefox/firefox she'll shows the libraries.. To make sense of it all you'd need to know from where your non-working executable was called from, you know.. prior to the change you made in "defaultbrowser." Reset that'n, from a shell load htop (grab the title bar once launched, pitch the whole window left until you're showing only processes, then extend the rt window bar rt to expose paths).. Based on both files playing video- I think the key aspect is that it's called from its own lib.. How your system was calling it is for you to share.. |
