Otter Browser Forum / Re: Thanks and Question - PDF Viewing

2018-03-31, 09:15:46

Hey thanks, Frenzie, for the tip with the plugins! I noticed that on the home PC the packge nspluginwrapper was installed, but not on the office PC. Instead of installing the package on the latter machine, I recompiled QtWebKit with the following cmake command:

Code: [Select]

cmake -DPORT=Qt -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DENABLE_NETSCAPE_PLUGIN_API=OFF ../..

and it works. I guess that I won't need the Netscape plugin API, since I do not use Flash plugin.

What happens if you click play?

The play-icon just disappeared, nothing more.

By the way, in my package manager of the Mageia OS I noticed that it contains otter-browser. Well, it's version 0.9.12, more than a year old, but maybe some day it can become reasonable to install Otter from the repositories.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Thanks and Question - PDF Viewing

I use Otter on two computers, one at home and one at work, same OS (Mageia 6) and both with QtWebKit alpha2. On both I set in Preferences->Advanced->Downloads the MIME-type "application/pdf" to open with "/usr/bin/okular".
On my home computer, all pdfs nicely open with Okular, but somehow, on my office computer, where I work a lot with pdfs, Otter almost always shows either a black page or a large Play-icon after clicking on the pdf link. Then mostly I can save the pdf-file manually to a folder, where I have to open it separately. Changing the download setting to another option like "Show download dialog" remains with the same effect.
Has anybody got an idea what can be the reason for that unwanted behaviour?

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Not responding while page buildup

2018-03-20, 11:37:16

Very long pages have a lot of freezing time, too, like this:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.9/functions.html
On my computer I have an offline version of that page and that one even takes about a minute to build up.
I tested the page with Safari (which uses WebKit, but not QtWebKit) and there it builds up within a few seconds.
Disabling JS in Otter seems to have no effect.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: All https pages are insecure after installation of private certificate

2017-11-28, 17:50:15

Okay, from strace I did not find exactly the error, but I found that files in /etc/pki/tls are being read. For this reason I simply copied this directory from my home computer, where https works fine, to my office computer. And that solved the problem. So from now on I make backups of /etc.

Many thanks for the answer and good luck for your projects!

And meanwhile I removed the questionable certificate from the directory for private certificates, but Otter still tells the same.

I cannot find that string in the linguist, so I translate myself to English:
The certificate of the issuer of a locally found certificate could not be found.

Of course. So in English the error page would be, for this forum:
The owner of thedndsanctuary.eu has configured their page improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, connection to this website was aborted.

Otter Browser Forum / All https pages are insecure after installation of private certificate

2017-11-22, 10:32:54

Recently I tried to configure my computer to mount an NFS share (more or less without success). One of the steps was to install a pem-certificate from my employer for use with ldaps requests. In order to get it work I tried different things, like running the c_rehash command for installing the certificate system-wide.
Now, since this time Otter tells me at each https site that the owner of ... has configured their page improperly, which is not true. Firefox does not complain on these pages. Is there any idea how to undo this? Yes, this is a classical case of root not knowing what he does.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Transifex error message

2017-10-04, 16:33:59

So that was my fault, of course. I got kind answer from Transifex: I overlooked a plural translation. (Due to my small screen?)
However, the Linguist warning was somewhat misleading on that case.

Congratulations to RC1!

Otter Browser Forum / Transifex error message

2017-09-27, 21:02:03

Hi,
on Transifex I wanted to upload the Swedish language file from the Liguist, but got an error message:

Error uploading file:
  for_translation_otter-browserts_sv.ts
There was an error processing your file

Does anybody know what to do? I would really prefer not having to do the whole work again on the Transifex web editor.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Very good browser

2017-07-21, 21:48:11

After upgrading my OS to a version containing Qt 5.6, I finally could install Otter Browser with QtWebKit.
It is so great! This is what I have been looking for during the last years. Many many thanks! 
Also I am surprised how fast a browser can be still today.

I do write programs with Qt, too. Let's see if I will be able to contribute at some point.
The main thing I miss so far is a better keyboard navigation. But for browsing the Qt4 offline documentation I can still use Opera 12.
