luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

wLee · 2011-11-02 18:36:49

It crashes at 'download linked file' or 'save picture as' from the rightclick menu.
Any ideas what causes this?

Army · 2011-11-02 20:28:33

Would be helpful if you could provide some output luakit produces when it crashes. Start luakit in a terminal with

luakit -v 2>&1 > ~/.luakit.log

and show us the whole log or the important part at the end.

So should I file a bug report about being unable to change the colour of my status bar and tab bar background? Is there something else I should be trying?

EDIT: Noticed I was having this problem with dwb as well, so I changed my GTK theme and fixed the problem.

Thanks Army, but it works again.
Part of a hide statusbar code was at the end of lua.rc, must have pasted it there by accident.

Ok I had both, thunar and pcmanfm, so I removed thunar but it still open the same window that firefox (or ahy gtk application open).
Is there a way to force it in opening something I want?

I second this question. Trying to find the right image to upload is tedious without thumbnails and random image-names.

Hi, I just installed Arch 64bit on my brother's old Macbook Pro v3. I compiled luakit-git with luajit2 like I did on my old i686 machine. It worked on the i686 one, but with 64bit luakit doesn't work with luajit2, it works fine with lua. Can anyone confirm this? There's no log etc, it just segfaults.

Can you use gdb to get a backtrace, that should narrow the issue down a bit.

Ok, the output is short

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

No (apparent) issues here with luajit2 and luakit-git on x86_64

Army · 2011-11-16 14:26:59

Ok, I found out what caused this. I changed the CFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf to (among others) -O3. I've been compiling stuff with -O3 on i686 for a couple of months now without any problems, but on x86_64 this seems to be different. Changed it back to -O2 and everything's fine.

what's the benefit of using luajit2

HI men, i've created a black theme but i have problems on luakit: the input forms are completely black and i cannot see what i write...is there a way to fix this? For firefox i've found this how-to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1715031

Same issue here.

luakit supports custom css files via the domain_props in the globals.lua. So you could try to apply the css file from the linked thread in the "all" domains section in the domain_props. There should be an example entry in the default globals.lua. If you use the domain_props for the first time, make sure to uncomment it by removing the first --[[ and the last ]]

I've just recently started using luakit and I have some questions:

1) What is preferred way to block ads? Right now I'm using privoxy which works ok, but what options do I have?
2) Is it possible to make history start appearing right away when typing an url, rather than having to use <Tab> for it to appear?
3) Is there a scrollbar to enable?
4) Is there a buffer script available? (buffer of open tabs)
5) Follow link hints seem a bit slow when there are many links. Is this normal? I'd compare it's speed with pentadactyl, while with uzbl it happens in an instant.
6) Can I have the tab bar visible even when there's only one tab open?

I'm sure I had a few more questions which I might remember later

luakit doesn't seem to respect my XDG settings, aka; my download directory. I have XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/howl/down in my .zshrc and in ~/user-dirs.dirs It keeps defaulting to my ~/ dir. I tried setting download.default_dir = /howl/down in my rc.lua after require "downloads".. but it didn't change anything either. Any ideas? Using luakit-develop-git (luakit 2011.07.22-r1-158-ga73e95e)

That was almost right. You have to set it to

downloads.default_dir = /howl/down

Ahhh, thanks, Army! I knew it would be too simple. I still thought it was supposed to do XDG dirs but maybe I'm wrong.

Just in case anyone's interested: On the mailing list there are some nice things going on. I asked for a possiblity to add something to the url for specific domains, e.g. add "&html5=1" to youtube urls. I want to use html5 on youtube without the need of enabling cookies.
This can be done with

webview.init_funcs.youtube_appender = function (view, w)
    view:add_signal("navigation-request", function (v, uri)
        if string.match(uri, "youtube%.com/watch%?v=") and not string.match(uri, "&html5=1") then
            v.uri = uri .. "&html5=1"
            return false
        end
    end)
end

Then I thought, something like this might be required to force https for specific sites (like the AUR)

webview.init_funcs.https_enforcer = function (view, w)
    view:add_signal("navigation-request", function (v, uri)
        if string.match(uri, "aur.archlinux.org") and not string.match(uri, "^https://") then
            v.uri = string.gsub(uri, "^http", "https")
            return false
        end
    end)
end

Thanks to Karottenreibe for coding this! I can only provide ideas, looks like some of them are good ones

Then another user used this to create a mailto hook for mutt with urxvtc (adjust it to what you use)

webview.init_funcs.mailto_hook = function (view, w)
    view:add_signal("navigation-request", function (v, uri)
        if string.match(uri, "^mailto:") then
            local cmd = string.format("%s %q", "urxvtc -title mutt -e mutt", uri)
            luakit.spawn(cmd)
            return false
        end
    end)
end

Guys, this browser is SO great and I really really love it! Thanks so much Mason for creating it and Karottenreibe for your great support!!!

Nice idea, though having it as a "modify_url"-module would be better, ie something like

#mode regex string
pre somesite.org https
aft foobar.baz ?foo=bar

Could you translate that into lua?

//Wie meinen?

If I could write that down as actual code? Well, I'm not that "fit" in Lua, yet, so I'll try a mix of Lua and pseudo-code.

urls_to_change = { youtube.com = { "after", "&html5=1 }, domain.tld = { "pre", "https://" } }

if current_uri in urls_to_change
then
  if urls_to_change[current_uri][1] == "after"
  then
    return current_uri .. urls_to_change[current_uri][2]
  elseif urls_to_change[current_uri][1] == "pre"
    return urls_to_change[current_uri][2] .. current_uri
end

So, your snippet was specifically for one task/url, I'd like it to be more generic, getting the values/settings for different URIs from a table or a plain text file, so there's no need to write so much code over and over again.

Army · 2011-12-07 13:34:04

On youtube with html5 enabled, there's no playback control with webkit based browsers. I only see the video screen, I can toggle playback by clicking on the video, but that's it. With firefox everything looks normal, it looks like the flash player.

Is this the same on your side?

alius.miles · 2011-12-07 20:38:27

Wich method of ad blocking is best working now?
With privoxy I've got just blank pages, long adblock.lua filter everything by "http://*" and I have no idea, how to convert easylist to adblock.blacklist.
Any recommendation? Or maybe some help with user.action or regexp for manual convert of easylist? I would convert easylist to adblock.blacklist, but need some hint about necessary changes.

Army · 2011-12-07 20:48:01

I use https://gist.github.com/1073680 and then use a VERY ugly script, because I'm really a noob when it comes to programming. I'll share anyway

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/$HOME/.config/luakit
mv adblock.blacklist adblock.blacklist.old
wget http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt
tail -n +30 hosts.txt > adblock.blacklist
rm hosts.txt
cat adblock.blacklist|cut -d \# -f 1 > hosts
mv hosts adblock.blacklist
sed 's/127.0.0.1//g' -i adblock.blacklist
sed 's/ //g' -i adblock.blacklist
sed '/^$/d' -i adblock.blacklist
cat adblock.blacklist.custom >> adblock.blacklist
sed 's/\./%\./g' -i adblock.blacklist
#sed 's/\*/%\*/g' -i adblock.blacklist
dos2unix adblock.blacklist

I know this will hurt some of you in the eyes, but it works, that's all I want

The adblock.blacklist.custom is for sites that aren't in this host file.

Using such a host file of course isn't the best way, because host files are REALLY a mess for adblocking. I'd love to know a better way to get a good list. Converting adblock-plus lists to lua compatible syntax would be the best I guess, but that's beyond my capabilities!
