Midori

I just started using Midori. It tends to crash a lot but it passes the Acid3 test and it's lightning fast.I know it uses the webkit, but so does Arora but Arora doesn't pass the Acid3 test.

Anyway, is anyone else using it? The only way I can get it to start is running it with sudo. It gives me an error if I run it as a regular user:

The following error has occured:
The history couldn't be loaded. Error opening database: unable to open database file

This is the terminal output:

(midori:3649): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "thinice",

(midori:3649): Gtk-WARNING **: The session couldn't be saved. Writing failed. Segmentation fault

Ouch. Try putting that one on the Midori bugtracker.

Re: Midori

Couldn't it be, that this is just a rights problem? You said you started midori with sudo, so your config files belong to root, not to you as user, so you cannot start it as user. I would recommend to 1. use midori-git from AUR (if you don't already) and 2. to remove everything in your home folder, which belongs to midori (is in .config/midori )

Re: Midori

Thanks for the advice. I copied the files over from the root .config directory over to my user directory and everything is fine now, except that gtk theme error. I downloaded the thinice theme engine and extracted it to /usr/share/themes but I'm still getting the error. Any ideas as to why?

Re: Midori

No ideas to why it happens, but have you tried changing gtk theme?

I don't remember what I did, but it started working fine.

Re: Midori

Have you tried midori-git from AUR?

Re: Midori

I just installed the git version but it's not working as well as the version in the repository.

Re: Midori

With the git version, you need libsoup-git and webkitgtk-svn.

As for thinice, the engine does not go in /usr/share/themes. That is only a theme file, not the engine itself. Messages about themes like that are usually harmless though.
