QtWeb - fast portable browser

[mikeb]

illegal instruction means its built for a newer cpu than the one you tested on. Either need a build made for older cpu or an older release.

I use precise puppy 5.7.1.

QtWeb 3.7 :

Odd ..that first one has gtk errors but its a qt4 application... window manager?

second... glibc hostility.

I use 3.7 on puppy 4 and no errors. Does look like precise has some backward compatability problems as problems get reported about other apps and from info gleaned from this forum glibc is involved.

Lynx and Opera work. Did I set something wrong?

[sindi]

I could not post to this forum using QtWeb - no Post Reply button
Or Quote or Edit buttons. I am posting with Opera. Lynx also works.

Fastmail (which was owned by Opera for a while) just made some changes and no longer works with Opera - something about a security certificate. Opera is not being updated for linux. (Also I somehow broke flash in Opera and it never worked all that well - cuts off the tops of videos sometimes).

Fastmail still works with lynx.

Fastmail works with QtWeb. QtWeb ad blocker blocks some non-ad sites.
pup-advert-blocker works with pulp03 4.1.2 puppy.
(Do not choose the first list MVPS- it downloads but gives an error message instead of
adding a list of URLs to /etc/hosts; second choice systcl does work).

Hopefully QtWeb will fix the missing buttons problem eventually. I am a convert.

Tested ad blocking at youtube - no more commercials before the videos.
Flash 10.1 works, as suggested in the pulp discussion. 10.3 does not, in pulp,
despite no obvious missing dependencies.

Flash 10.1 works, as suggested in the pulp discussion. 10.3 does not, in pulp,

Installed pulp (4.1.2) and pup 4.3.1 retro on a different computer (1.4GHz Gateway 200ARC - hardware works perfectly with these and Lupu 5.2.8.6) and the Post Reply and other buttons are there. I wonder what I screwed up on the first computer (DELL D600).

Opera still not working with Flash on either computer. Firefox libraries are on path in /etc/profile.

Pup 4.31 works with Flash 10.3 in QtWeb and pulp does not, as usual.

[mikeb]

opera...flash 10.3 ... was a while ago but think it demanded 24bpp video to work...discovered after much messing about.

That fixed it! I tried numerous flash versions first.
10.0 rc32 works with qtweb and opera, Xvesa 1024x768x24.
10.1 also works with qtweb in pulp linux where 10.3 does not.
qtweb works with flash in 16-bit color.

Any advantage of 10.1 over 10.0 (which is smaller)?

If I have several later versions in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, as soon as
I add 10.1 flash starts to work in qtweb.

There seem to be two qtweb pets. The smokey01 version is 3.7.2 (2011)
and displays buttons. Don't know where I got the broken one from. Is
there a later working pet?

[mikeb]

advantage of 10.1 over 10.0 ... not that I am aware of that affects usage. I believe both download videos to /tmp if you use that.

Very pleased to report that the QtWeb 3.7.2 pet
installs and loads and appears to
work properly on a 1997 Gateway.
So does DILLO 2 but not Opera 12.16
or Firefox 17, with upgraded
glibc 2.11 and libdbus.
P54C or P55C support must have
been compiled into QtWeb.
Using pulp03. High end small
(11"?) laptop with lovely screen
and keyboard (but the opl3sa2 sound
is very buggy in OSS and ALSA).
192MB RAM (upgraded from 48MB)
but too slow for flash at any
resolution.

[sindi]

12.10 and 11.64 illegal instruction
mplayer tells me I have a P55C
QtWeb and Opera 10.63 are usable
in 192MB memory, tho slow at some sites.

[sindi]

Tested on a P55C 166MHz 192MB
Firefox 3.8.6 (2010) 53-94% RAM, 88% CPU
Opera 10.6.3 (2010) 54% RAM, 90% CPU
QtWeb 3.7.2 (2011) 37% RAM, 90% CPU

Tested at google.com with the animated logo.

Firefox takes forever to load.
Opera messes up ebay and google voice.
QtWeb works at both and loads fast.

Again, many thanks for the pet.

I am not sure if this thread is still active. If it is I am looking for some help. I downloaded version 3.8.5 which is the latest version from http://www.qtweb.net/download.html I unzipped it outside my save file. I made the resultant QtWeb executable. However, If I click on this the browser does not open. If I open it in a terminal I get a very long output, most of which I don't understand, then "end of script press enter to exit". I see somebody else reports this earlier in the thread. Has anybody found a solution? I can run the .pet offered in the thread but cannot import favorites in the form of .html. Has anybody got a solution for this?

Regards,

Ken.

QtWeb is still active, default browser in unicorn puppy LegOpen from Hungria, for instance.
QtWeb is part of many Quickpets. This browser is light when Qt is already part of the Puppy (Tahrpup, Vividpup, and so on)
Check missing dependancies via the menu 'setup'

[Flash]

I tried QtWeb too, in Werewolf64, with the same result as keniv.
"Check dependencies" in the Setup menu only works on installed packages, which QtWeb is not, at least not when you download it, make it executable and click on it. There is a command that can be used from the console to check dependencies, but I've forgotten it. Can anyone help me out here?

[Semme]

ldd? No, it's NOT dynamic. And if it's not Werewolf's libc version, it may need gconv.

In fact, since 528 can't run the latest, I make due with this version.

HTML files can be drag'n dropped onto Qt's bkmrks bar.

[keniv]

That's the same one as I run. It has a few problems but loads very quickly and is fast when browsing. With some sites it seems to stop loading and leaves an incomplete page. At first I thought it was the amount of stuff being downloaded from the site but the wifi try icon stops flashing as well. I am using a low spec machine and so it could be that.

Regards,

Ken.

A workaround for this problem is when you "Import from HTML" go to the directory with your bookmarks file, all you need to do is manually type in the bookmarks.html (or whatever the file name is) to the file name box and then hit <Enter> and it will import the file.

[Semme]

Bravo!

Thanks for that I'll try it. I've found it will import as .xbel so once you get a bookmark list it's easy to import if you install qtweb in another Pup.
