luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

alius.miles · 2011-12-09 14:58:03

any advice about how to convert easylist for adblock.lua?

and another problem -- luakit doesn't remeber history at all. Any suggestion about what to do / where to look?

Army · 2011-12-09 21:43:55

It remembers history very well here! Did you try without any custom config files? Do you use luakit-git from the AUR or luakit from the repos?

About easylist for adblock.lua, maybe the script from the AUR-package privoxy-blocklist might be a good starting point. Maybe I'll look into it a bit.

alius.miles · 2011-12-09 22:46:45

Yes, default configs solve the history problem. I've just modified rc.lua and golbals.lua again -- change useragent and hint symbols.

Adblocking currently works via privoxy, which finally starts at boot. Used adblock2prioxy.pl for converting easylist into adblock.action. Loks like it is the best option.

So there are another questions:
- is there any way to make PASS THROUGH mode on gmail/google.reader permanent?

- I'm using dark gtk theme, but a lot of input fields in luakit has black font on dark barckground (arch forum included). Should I change gtk theme, or maybe just css?

- how to implement vim-like shortcuts in Insert mode? Simple copiing from cmd to insert section in binds.lua didn't work.

And what happend to wiki section on luakit.org? Some pages got 404, some are old and code doesn't work. For example, way of changing hint symbols I'e found on Issue section and it's just two lines, while on Wiki there is a lot of unusable code.

When I try to open AUR link https://aur.archlinux.org/ luakit crashes:

luakit: relocation error: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiognutls.so: symbol gnutls_certificate_verify_peers, version GNUTLS_1_4 not defined in file libgnutls.so.26 with link time reference

Is it possible to fix it?

I use:

luakit-git 20111204-1
gnutls 3.0.8-1

Did you try to rebuild luakit?

Next7 · 2011-12-10 11:30:26

How should I rebuild it? I have compiled luakit-git just a minute ago and it still crashes when trying to enter bbs.archlinux.org and AUR.

Army · 2011-12-10 12:50:01

Ok that's what I meant. Are you on 32bit or 64bit? I'm on 64bit and everything works fine. Do you use libwebkit from the repos or a custom build?

Next7 · 2011-12-10 13:22:25

I'm on 32bit. libwebkit 1.6.1-1 from the repos.

milomouse · 2011-12-10 21:33:51

@Next7: Which version of glib-networking do you have?

Next7 · 2011-12-11 08:24:14

milomouse
I had glib-networking 2.28.7-1, but now I have upgraded to 2.30.1-1 from repos and the problem has gone. Thanks for helping!

Army · 2011-12-11 08:48:33

Of course you should always be on the latest version of packages. If you aren't and something breaks, it's very likely that this is the reason!

Hi everyone. I love this project! However, I'm having trouble seeing the changelog for some kernels on the kernel.org website with luakit. The statusbar is telling me the site downloads fully, however, all I see is a blank page. My guess is that luakit is looking at this as a mime-object, which, albeit, I don't have set up in my mime-types settings on my system. Nevertheless, it seems strange to me that this is indeed the case as the site I'm interested in is just a bunch of raw text...

Can anyone help me out with this?

Did you try this site with another webkit browser like jumanji?

mtrokic · 2011-12-11 20:47:09

I think I figured out what was wrong and at the same time might have figured out a bug... Ok, so the other day I followed the luakit wiki on "How do I change/stop the white flash during the loading of a page in a new tab." This requires you to put

webview.init_funcs.set_win_trans = function (view, w) -- show GTK the background color
    view.transparent = true
end

after require("webview") in your rc.lua file. It seems that this code was causing trouble. After removing the code the page I wanted loads fine. It seems the transparency was preventing the page from loading properly. I think this may be a bug of sorts. In any case, I solved my problem but this may be of interest to the developers.

hi man, how can i start luakit in a fullscreen window?

Maybe your window manager is capable of handling this.

Here is a script I made for playing videos from youtube, vimeo and others using mplayer without need of flash. It requires quvi to be installed.

Save it as quvi.lua in your luakit config directory and add a line

require "quvi"

in your rc.lua.

You can then access video menu by pressing V or with the :videos command.

Though it is far away from perfect, it is usable.

The problem remaining is that all the urls from video website domains are seen like video urls. So, all urls matching 'http://*.youtube.com/*', 'http://*.vimeo.com/*', etc. appear in the list.

Do not hesitate to point out errors.

Nice, I'll test this right away

TheImmortalPhoenix · 2011-12-18 17:14:22

@ PotatoesMaster: i have this error:

Error: In bind call: ~/.config/luakit/.quvi.lua:188: attempt to index field 'view' (a nil value)

What i have to do?

PotatoesMaster · 2011-12-18 17:42:48

@TheImmortalPhoenix:
This script is for the development version.
If you have installed the luakit package from community, you have to replace this line 188 with

local url = w:get_current().uri

TheImmortalPhoenix · 2011-12-19 05:56:48

Thanks, it works...it's a bit slow, but it works

TheImmortalPhoenix · 2011-12-19 14:28:17

i have problem also with line 148: capi.luakit.selection.primary = row.url

PotatoesMaster · 2011-12-19 20:11:04

You can replace it with

capi.luakit.set_selection(row.url)

TheImmortalPhoenix · 2011-12-19 20:35:01

Thank you

mkaito · 2011-12-21 05:37:07

Would anyone know why I can place

webview.init_funcs.window_decision = function (view, w) [...]

in rc.lua and have it work just fine, but it won't work in mine.lua (required from rc.lua)?
