dwb - a webkit web browser

Wow Portix!!!! That is amazingly quick reply. I just added that in and it works like a charm. Thanks for making it enjoyable to use your program. Setting the multiplier to .3 is PERFECTO.

Hi,

I have a problem with dwb. I use formfiller as password manager. But it doesn't work anymore since some days (the latest update?). If I type "eff", which toggled the formfiller+gpg thing, it only gets the "f" for showing tags next to the links on a page.

Is this a bug with dwb or my fault?

portix · 2014-03-11 11:34:26

Are you using dwb from the repos? Extensions are currently broken with dwb from the repos, i did a new release a few days ago but i don't now when/if it will get into the community repo. As long as dwb in the repo isn't working you could use dwb-git from AUR. You need the latest build because there was a bug that broke all extensions under certain circumstances which was fixed yesterday.

I have just started using dwb. I am running archlinux-lts kernel with awesome WM with nvidia-lts driver (everything is up to date). I have installed dwb-git using yaourt. I am using this on my laptop (radeon) and a VM in virtualbox (on my laptop) and these 2 work fine, but on my desktop (which uses the nvidia driver) the input boxes show up like this. I am using the defualt configs for dwb on all of them. If anyone has any idea why of it there is anymore info needed please let me know.
Thanks
dwb input box issue

I would think that it is probably nvidia, but there is a dwb thread (of the maintainer).

hudgengt, I merged this with the main thread.

@hudgengt, unless it is just at my end, there is something wrong with your link. I was about to quote to ask what you meant by looking "like this". Only when I quoted your post did the url show up - it still wasn't a link, but I could copy and paste it.

You can place the url in [ url ] [ /url ] blocks as described here

hudgengt · 2014-03-13 01:59:49

Trilby I have fixed the url (sorry about that). Thanks ewaller for merging this with the main thread.

Hi,

I use it from the repos, yes. It's not that urgent for me, so I'm fine with waiting for the next version.

But I have a question related to the git repos: Why aren't you using branches? Why are there no version tags in the repository? It is just one line of development, why? I would like to build it from source myself, but as there are no tags, I cannot find the latest version of dwb!

WonderWoofy · 2014-03-13 15:29:40

@musicmatze, just use the dwb-git package from the AUR. Portix maintains it. The one in the repos is quite old unfortunately, so imo it is probably better to be using the git sources directly.

of course. But I would like to compile it on my own, to be able to patch and debug it. And therefor, I need the git history (no problem here) and the release tags. But there are no tags, so this is not possible for me. I could use dwb-git, which is a more modern build than the normal dwb package. But then I'm not able to patch it, debug it and maybe send patches upstream...

Then $(git clone https://portix@bitbucket.org/portix/dwb.git) is your friend.

has dwb a developer console like Chromium / firefox to log javascript messages or to display errors?

Yes, you have to enable developer extras, you can then open the debugger with 'wi' or with the context menu (inspect element).

I use branches when developing dwb, i just don't push them to bitbucket. There are no release tags because i have switched to git after the 2013.03.30 release.

What keeps you away from tagging this and any further release?

Hi,

I just compiled dwb from commit e799509c61cc6dc2c33415e69e5c12d3da3d1d62 , which should be the release you mentioned somewhere here in this thread. I got the same issue: "eff" doesn't work as expected!

portix · 2014-03-15 17:40:37

That commit is the release from the repos which is broken. I did a new release on March 7th (commit 28a53a1). I also added a tag.

Does not work either.

Do you get any error messages in a terminal, and do you get the message "extension formfiller successfully loaded"?

I just did a fresh install and it works here. If you try to run a local copy
with an old installation you have to link the scripts directory to
~/.local/share/dwb/scripts/ otherwise dwb will use the scripts-directory of your
installation. The extension issue is a bug in a script.

All output what I get is the following:

Could you give some more information, are you running a git build? Have you linked the directory? From the git-repo you could also run

make runsandbox

if that works there is something wrong with your installation or you didn't link the directory correctly. But the simplest would be if you install dwb-git from AUR and test if that works.

With

make runsandbox

it works.

I think I will build it myself... I don't like the AUR, as I do not get updates with pacman. When doing it myself with git, I have it more in my mind to update my installation. Thank you for your help!

I have an issue where the cursor will be stuck looking like it's hovering over a link. I'm not sure what triggers the change, but some days I never see it while others it happens several times.

Only fix is to restart the browser.

Notice: The cursor will change appropriately if it should be something other than the default arrow (ex. if I hover over a text field, the cursor will change), but when the cursor should be the default arrow, it's the pointing finger as though I'm over a hyperlink.

I think that's a webkit issue. Webkit has issues. Oh yes it does.
