uzbl. A browser that adheres to the unix philosophy.

^The old Youtube player works in DWB, which is also a webkit browser. I am sure it's possible for Uzbl to run it too, but the question is why not now ?

I don't know if this is a bug, but sometimes when I am trying to load a page in uzbl-tabbed and it takes to long, the tab just closes. Does anyone else have this problem/know a fix?

Google · 2010-07-08 03:20:05

I use tabbed and have had it close on me once in a while. I think it was more or less a java or flash related close though.

I am still trying to learn how to speed up Uzbl.

Does anyone suggest a setup for max connections to host and max connections? I have mine set like:

max connections: 100
max per host: 35

Hmm, it seemed to be fixed (not to jinx anything!) after I adjusted the way I started my WM in my ~/.xinitrc. And who says aimlessly changing config files is bad?

Google · 2010-07-08 18:46:01

How come my tab colors won't change? I commented out the example doc, and inserted the script to change colors in my ~/.config, here is my script section for tab colors:

# General tabbing options:
   show_tablist            = 1
   show_gtk_tabs           = 0
   tablist_top             = 1

   gtk_refresh             = 1000
   switch_to_new_tabs      = 1
   capture_new_windows     = 1
   multiline_tabs          = 1
#

   tab_titles              = 1
   tab_indexes             = 1
   new_tab_title           = "New Tab"
   max_title_len           = 50
   show_ellipsis           = 1
#

#
# Inherited uzbl options:

   socket_dir              = /tmp
   icon_path               = $HOME/.local/share/uzbl/uzbl.png
   status_background       = #303030
#
# Misc options:
   window_size             = 800,800
   verbose                 = 0
#
# And uzbl_tabbed.py takes care of the actual binding of the commands via each
# instances fifo socket.
#
# Custom tab styling:
   tab_colours             = foreground = "white" background = "000000"
   tab_text_colours        = foreground = "white"

   https_colours           = foreground = "white"
   https_text_colours      = foreground = "white"
   selected_https          = foreground = "white"

# Spawn path shortcuts. In spawn the first dir+path match is used in "dir1:dir2:dir3:executable"

I can't download links with javascript, when I click in the link , it saves me a ****.aspx and when I click with the right button in "Download linked file" appears this:

--2010-07-27 00:57:37-- ftp://javascript/DownloadSubtitle();
=> "DownloadSubtitle()"
Resolving javascript... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address "javascript"

Any idea?

This happens me with jumanji and surf too.

jasonwryan · 2010-08-08 21:31:44

In uzbl-tabbed 2010.08.05-1 insert mode no longer functions as expected: I have to Shift-i to enter it (previously just "i") and then any subsequent key presses are recorded in the status bar.

Downgrading to 2010.04.03 sees the expected behaviour.

Anyone else seeing this?

jwbirdsong · 2010-08-08 22:08:03

@jasonwryan
config changes.. need to move/rename ~/.config/uzbl/config and restart uzbl withOUT a config. This will generate a new USABLE config. Then edit it to your liking.

Yes, and it's really annoying. I consider this to be a crippling bug.

Thanks jw. I had read the advisory and patched the change mentioned in the commit - I wasn't aware that a complete replacement was called for; apparently it was as your suggestion worked.

nomilieu · 2010-08-09 04:03:55

Thanks for the heads-up. I had also simply changed the config line.
A bit tedious to have to plug in all my config changes again, but oh well, it beats using firefox.

*edit* Indeed, that did the trick. Silly me for not thinking of it, but I figured it would have been stated as necessary if it were.

If you have a LOT of custom keybinds/config modifications it pays to make a diff/patch file of your current one against /usr/share/examples/config/config. Then when ever somethinglike this happens (it's happened before..it will happen again) you can just patch your local config and browse away. Profit!!
At least it seems MUCH easier to me. takes me all of 3-4 seconds to update a new config.

Just a thought

gotmor · 2010-08-11 13:38:58

A probably better and easier way is to use the "include" command and split the config into several parts (key bindings, appearance, etc.).
That way you'd just have to adjust one config file when changes occur.

teh · 2010-08-11 22:56:20

An insignificant, annoying problem happens when I do some search query in DuckDuckGo.com (JavaScript?).
A non-functional scroll bar appears in the right side. And then, after that, it prevails for all sites.

Ej: http://cyb3rpunk.files.wordpress.com/20 … ll_bar.png

How can I disable that?

StephenB · 2010-08-12 07:39:06

I get the same.

I tried DuckDuckGo.com in Jumanji and it works fine. The strangest thing is that the scroll bar stays even when you go back in history to before visiting DuckDuckGo.com.

On my machine the scroll bar looks different from the one that ussually appears on other web pages (e.g. http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/).

I'm using uzbl from experimental (from just before the latest release).
@teh I guess you are using the latest Arch pkg with latest config update applied?
(I'm thinking that this might be an uzbl bug because it doesn't happen in Jumanji and because the scroll bar never disappears no matter what you do)

TaylanUB · 2010-08-12 13:44:27

Using uzbl from the Arch Linux repos, i don's experience any problems with that site.

(It's awesome by the way, why didn't i know of it?)

jwbirdsong · 2010-08-12 13:48:02

I don't get the side bar either in either uzbl from repo OR uzbl-expermental-git from AUR
Just a FWIW.

teh · 2010-08-15 05:02:14

Well, thanks... I'm going to try with the experimental git version; I'm using the repo version.

Ok, I have another noobish question.

In my Vimperopera configuration I can type 'f' or semicolon to open any link in current or new tab respectively, Is this possible in uzbl-browser or uzbl-tabbed?
Something like:

@cbind f* = script @scripts_dir/follow.js '@follow_hint_keys %s'
and...
@cbind ;* = Script @scripts_dir/follow.js '@follow_hint_keys %s'

I'm using the default "follow" script.

Shall I post a new topic for this questions?

jwbirdsong · 2010-08-15 05:16:53

teh
Link follower is already in the default config.

 fl*  = script @scripts_dir/follow.js '@follow_hint_keys %s'

fl should bring it up. If not "reset' your config to the default and try agian.

EDIT : Decided to try the duckduckgo.com again. Today I DO get the scroll bar. But i ALSO get it in Midori. Good bet it webkit related as opposed to just uzbl then.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough

I do use the "hint mode" (customized to type only 'f'); one of the greatest inventions of humanity! And actually I 'dreamt' of that like 8 years ago :S Kinda weird, whatever... The thing is that I want to open the link I've selected in a new tab or in new "uzbl session" by typing for example the semicolon key.

Thanks for your help jwbirdsong.

I use F to follow in a new tab:

@cbind  F* = script @scripts_dir/follow_new.js '@follow_hint_keys %s'

follow_new is in my bitbucket repo if you want it...

jwbirdsong · 2010-08-15 20:48:57

yeah you were clear, what was NOT was my head after a day of golfing and drinking; plus posting at 11:30 pm didn't help either. Sorry

The bookmark fix worked. Now I just need to fix Youtube's old video player... almost there!

Certain flash elements aren't clickable because GTK no longer uses native windowing, which Flash expects.

Unless you're using nspluginwrapper, you can add this line to .bashrc to make GTK use native windowing (and make the flash UI elements work)

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

If you are using nspluginwrapper, you can add the above line to /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
