uzbl. A browser that adheres to the unix philosophy.

Well earlier neldoreth confirmed the problem is caused my gcc 4.4. Compiling libwebkit with 4.3 (there's a package in AUR so you dont need to bother with rolling back) fixes the problem.

I was having the same problem with crashing on Wikipedia. As of today my uzbl no longer crashes on Wikipedia pages. I'm not sure why, but I did upgrade to kernel26-2.6.30.1-1 yesterday. Anybody can verify?

Thank you for sharing the fix--I really appreciate it. Have you had a problem with PDF files printed from uzbl being really badly rendered? Running the same command in conkeror to get the print dialog

javascript:window.print()

and printing the same webpage to PDF works perfectly. By badly rendered I mean the font spacing is completely off, the font is hard to read... overall, just plain bad. Don't know why conkeror doesn't have this problem, unless this problem is somehow webkit-specific.

No, I don't think it's the kernel upgrade, because I'm running the same kernel and Wikipedia is still crashing (though I'm compiling gcc 4.3 like N30N suggested). Are you running Arch 64?

[edit] Just finished compiling libwebkit (I used the ABS), and everything is peachy with Wikipedia (in surf, where I couldn't use the little fix you gave me for uzbl). Thank you so, so much N30N. [/edit]

It's probably just a lack of default printer style sheet rules (really that would be the web developers fault for relying on them). I did some tests on a alistapart article (as I knew they'd have their shit together) and the differences where minor (font sizes, padding, etc). Do you have a specific page that prints especially bad?

Good to hear.

Hm, my professor's website prints atrociously to PDF. But how would this explain how conkeror prints the same webpage without mishap?

Yup, but I found after posting this that only some pages work now (whereas before all Wikipedia pages crashed it indiscriminately). Some are still broken. I have no idea why.

I noticed the same thing too, even before I recompiled libwebkit with gcc 4.3. If some Wikipedia pages were bookmarked in uzbl, accessing them worked quite a few times. Then some random articles worked. But nothing consistent enough. N30N provided me with a temporary fix, which is on the previous page, but recompiling libwebkit with gcc 4.3 isn't too bad. There's instructions on how to change the compiler in the PKGBUILD on another http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=48645post in the forums; look for the second post by pressh, about the middle of the page. If you already knew this, well then I hope the reference is of help to someone else (took me some digging to find it).

SpeedVin · 2009-07-09 18:51:47

Someone know when we can use uzbl and libjpeg7 ?
Edit
I just compiled new libwebkit and upgraded all his depends and Uzbl are working fine

Are there some app for having a no$script+adblockplus separated from the browser? So it can be used in an entire network and avoid filling the browser with extensions.

Privoxy is an option, but I would like be able to auto-update and use Adblock Plus extensions.

What about a hight contrast/console-like UNIX way of showing sites? I like the terminal looking of Google mail and this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7166

Some way to force bad designed sites to be "HD ready" sometimes I want to read something in a comfortable and nice way on my 1920x1200 24" TFT monitor, but sites waste too much space from full screen. Maybe a similar approach like greasemoney but in a daemon way could be nice.

The UNIX approach is a collection of different apps that can work together in combination. Maybe you can convert a browser in a bunch of daemons, Imagine a daemon that saves the content of forms it received from the browser, history and such.

So, what about a suite like the following?

- uzbl: The main browser. Simple, fastlight and powerful.
- adblockd: Daemon similar to privoxy, simpler to use/configure and compatible with adblock plus filters. Spme similar software in functionality: AdSweep, BFilter, Proximodo, AdZapper (plus Squid), JunkBuster
- sitemd: Sitemodifier daemon. Similar to tools like greasemonkey, compatible with scripts from different apps and Firefox extensions. Maybe merge it with adblockd. This could be used in your OpenWRT or server, so shared between a bunch of computers and even adapted it for working within some antivirus for a computer network. Some similar software in functionality: GreasySpoon, Viralator, GrimeApe.
- blogd: Browser logging daemon. It saves history, forms, cookies and sessions in a realtime way. It doesn't matter if your system or browser crashes, your browsing will be recovered in the exact way as before.

Did any of you update and then suddenly had the follow_Numbers.js example no longer work?

The default 'F' hinting works, but "fl*" and "fL*" isn't working for me.

edit: Never mind, I am an idiot who can't type.

Hello
Today i change part of my config to that in Diterbe experimental folder and I don't see url of page currently I am I only see title of this page that part of my config that I changed:

set status_format = <span background=\"red\"foreground=\"white\">KEYCMD</span> <b>TITLE</b>
set title_format_short = TITLE - Uzbl browser <NAME>
set title_format_long = KEYCMD MODE TITLE - Uzbl browser <NAME> > SELECTED_URI

Thanks for help

Put URI in your status_format for the current page's URI to show up in the status bar.

title_format is only for the title bar, and you currently have it set to SELECTED_URI, which shows the URI for the link you're hovering over.

Allamgir · 2009-07-12 23:35:06

I think uzbl should get an Arch Wiki page that gives some instruction about what to do after installing, and perhaps a few nifty scripts for "expected" features in modern web browsers. I have a feeling there would be plenty traffic and contributions if it was on the Arch Wiki.

mason.larobina · 2009-07-13 03:35:39

That sounds like a great idea. Uzbl has a wiki on their site already and using a mix of some of the articles on that and sections out of the included FAQ & README it would be quite easy to piece together a thorough installation and configuration guide.

installed via yaourt today (which uses git, i think), does fresher code exist then?

This is a github meta-url to the maintainers (myself) latest uzbl_tabbed.py commit:

And yes a fresher version did exist (by weeks).

Hello again
For some time I want to modifete download scripts from uzbl default's scripts.
This is that's what I want to do:
1.When you try download file you give question where save file?
2.You Type path to directory where you want save file.
I one PKGBUILD in AUR i see option readchoice 1 was option yes 0 was option no.
I will give an example.

PKBUILD stuff
readchoice:
if 1 <do something>
else
if 0 <stop>

What programs I can use to do this script?
And that's all thanks for answers and help
Edit
Ohh now I see batch_download can change the direcotry of download but he can download some files at once and I only need small scripts
Edit2
For now I got this:

#!/bin/sh
# just an example of how you could handle your downloads
# try some pattern matching on the uri to determine what we should do 
# Some sites block the default wget --user-agent..
GET="wget --user-agent=Firefox"
echo -n "Where save file?"
read where
echo "$where"
dest="$where"
url="$8" 
test "x$url" = "x" && { echo "you must supply a url! ($url)"; exit 1; } 
# only changes the dir for the $get sub process
if echo "$url" | grep -E '.*\.torrent' >/dev/null;
then
( cd "$dest"; eval "$GET" "$url")
else
( cd "$dest"; eval "$GET" "$url")
fi

read won't work. you're not in a shell.
Try this:
