I found an easy way to crash uzbl. Mark some text you have written in an input field and right-click on it. BAM!
output:

** (uzbl-core:20040): CRITICAL **: enchant_dict_check: assertion `dict' failed

** (uzbl-core:20040): CRITICAL **: enchant_dict_suggest: assertion `dict' failed

 uzbl-browser -V
event_manager.py: will auto close.
event_manager.py: found pid file: '/home/hatten/.cache/uzbl/event_daemon.pid'
event_manager.py: event daemon already started with pid: 20513

btw, is it possible to get shift-insert and alt gr+letter (for ie åäö) working in uzbl? It only works in xterm atm.

just tried your crash method, and (un?)fortunately it did not crash uzbl for me.

the key binds for uzbl-tabbed do not work for me.
i've tried uzbl-git and uzbl-experimental-git.

uzbl-tabbed work for anyone? and if so can you explain what you did to get the binds to work.
please, ty.

while looking for help on uzbl i came across a vimperator like browser vimprobable http://yllr.net/vimprobable/ uses webkit.

uzbl-tabbed doesn't work atm. Mason-l will fix it at some point, but feel free to help out.

Is it possible to get the old default configs somewhere? When i Syu'ed yesterday my config broke, and when comparing the new example config and my config pretty much everything has changed. If i got the example config i built my own config on i could diff the files and do the same changes to the new config that i did to my old one.

easy: http://github.com/Dieterbe/uzbl/ go to any version (use the commit hash if you still have it, or use a tag) and look at the config

I've never used github before, could you tell me how? With the commit/tree/parent stuff i just get the changes to the current file, how do i get _the_ file that existed a few weeks ago?

yep. and replace '2009.11.30' by your tag or commit hash

Aha, thanks, now it's uzbl again

JackH79 · 2010-01-13 04:41:34

Hey there.

Just installed and configured uzbl-git and I absolutely love it. Great work and thanks to everyone involved. The first real alternative to Firefox since I switched to that about 120 year ago.

Two questions/problems though:

1. The middle mouse click to open a link in a new window (tab) doesn't work. I've got the

@bind <Button2> = @jsh if(get("SELECT_URI")) ... etc

from the example config file, but whenever I click on a link, nothing happens. Something simply not working at the mo' or am I missing a setting?

2. Is there a way of fooling my uni mail account into believing that I'm using Firefox? It doesn't seem to like uzbl.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Your <Button2> bind not working is a direct result of this javascript exploit we discovered in uzbl: http://www.uzbl.org/news.php?id=22

So anything that uses the Uzbl object (like the @jsh variable) will not work.

To get middle clicking working again we need to move back to the middle mouse script: http://www.uzbl.org/wiki/middle_click_links

Sure, you just need to change the user_agent variable in the config. It currently looks like:

set useragent         = Uzbl (Webkit @WEBKIT_MAJOR.@WEBKIT_MINOR.@WEBKIT_MICRO) (@(+uname -o)@ @(+uname -m)@ [@ARCH_UZBL]) (Commit @COMMIT)

@mason.larobina: Thanks very much for the quick reply!

Changed my useragent setting to Firefox and can now access my mail account. Great!

But my middle mouse button still doesn't work. Followed the guidelines on the http://www.uzbl.org/wiki/middle_click_links site and commented out the old @jsh lines.
Interestingly enough, the 'Open Link in New Window' opten in the context menu works now (didn't before), but the middle mouse button still doesn't work. I only get the red <Button2> information in the status bar when I click but nothing happens.
Now, I have absolutely no clue about java (or any form of programming), so it's very possible that I need to modify the file to suit my setup --- but I have no idea as to where to even start.
Any further enlightenment would highly appreciated.

Thanks

Try the following:

# Middle click open in new window.
@bind  <Button2>  = sh 'uzbl-browser -u \@SELECTED_URI'

JackH79 · 2010-01-13 08:30:39

Brilliant. That's done it. Thanks so much for your help!!!

Army · 2010-01-14 18:01:07

Is it only me or is the current version of uzbl-browser from [extra] broken? Right now I solved it by ignoring it via pacman.conf, but that's no real solution. I also tried uzbl-git and uzbl-experimental-git, same behavior.
When I'm on a webpage and want to put the current url to the clipboard, this is is usually done by the command yu. I also cannot put the current title to the clipboard, which is done by yt. And the status bar doesn't show the percentage of scrolling anymore. There might be even more bugs, but these are features I miss with the current builds.

I tried it by removing the config and everything else from ~, so it's no configuration problem caused by me.

Dieter@be · 2010-01-14 19:45:51

it keep surprising me how many people don't read the news.

Army · 2010-01-15 09:43:49

Oh damn :-D

What I actually wanted to say is just, that uzbl shouldn't be updated in the repo when such bugs are present. Maybe I'll give a message to Biru.

are you crazy? you would prefer to keep using the version with a gaping security hole in it?

I'm fooling around with uzbl-core and uzbl-browser and the windows never have scrollbars in either of them. Is this normal? If it is how do I add scrollbars?

Yes, it's normal.

It's supposed to be like that.

Of course you have a point here! Security is more important than complete usability.

offtopic:
i've been meaning to read about uzbl, but 30 pages?
do you not close threads after a certain amount of pages, and open a part 2 thread? would make it more readable (especially since first posts should be the most important ones, and are largely out of date here)

jac · 2010-01-16 13:46:56

@gajo: It's only 10 pages here Why not just read about it from the website or the files it provides?
