Test build of dooble with qt5

[Mark Szkolnicki]

Heh Dave!

Hi Mark, to add favourites, click the star beside the URL entry thing.
There is no setting for restoring the previous session, there is the history.
The cookie support seems not too bad, but I notice things like having to log into os2world every time I start the browser.
Unluckily it is still a very basic browser, with I understand basically one guy developing it and there's a lot of stuff I miss compared to SeaMonkey with NoScript. It  does help to have a hosts file that blocks a lot of crap.

Thats the problem here, Sir - doesn't work (clicking the star beside the URL)

As a Beta Tester, not what we want to hear.

Still a work in progress - but it is a progression, indeed!

As always a fine weekend to you!

I guess the settings of the code page for DBCS are different.

OK, that was going to be my next question. So you're running a DBCS system? I guess an issue will have to be raised.
What version of OS/2 are you running? And which codepage?

Seems to work here, though it seems I lost earlier favourites.
I'd assume like Mozilla, the profile is fragile. You might want to reset it and retry.

Dooble is unable to open my webpage without crashing....

I disagree: at this very moment I am visiting your homepage at the URL mentioned, using Dooble for OS/2.
BTW: what are 'fird parties' ?

Youtube and Arca Noae.

(Before I reinstall Dooble, I cold open my page but since re-install, no more able to open it without a final crash

Hi All

The real downside to Dooble here is that it closes after 10 to 15 minutes use - no beeps,squeaks or log files. Dooble can be restarted immediately for another 10 to 15 minutes use.

I was presuming it is NSS/NSPR related - the same problem Mozilla has with the latest NSS/NSPR - but if others are not having this problem maybe it is not.
What versions of NSS/NSPR are other people using? - I currently have NSPR 4.23.0-1 and NSS 3.47.0-2  installed.

If not a NSS/NSPR problem what else should I look at?

 Hi Pete,

 You might want to try running Dooble from a command prompt window like this:

sh -c dooble.exe

 When dooble exits, see if there are any messages in the comand prompt window - might give a clue about what is going on. I can get Dooble to exit reliably like you describe if I try to open a private window while running in single process mode (apparently not supported so causes Dooble to close).

Morning Dave!

Hi Mark, to add favourites, click the star beside the URL entry thing.

Unluckily it is still a very basic browser, with I understand basically one guy developing it and there's a lot of stuff I miss compared to SeaMonkey with NoScript. It  does help to have a hosts file that blocks a lot of crap.

Writing this on Dooble and tried it again. I get it now - these bleary old eyes of mine were focused on the LARGE star on the right side of the page (by the menu icon), instead of the tiny little one immediately to the left of the URL Got my first favourite - namely this site!

One thing I just noted, writing this, is I was trying to eliminate an empty line and nothing happened - I can highlight and delete or cut something out but can't eliminate the empty space with the delete key.

Woooops .............. I see you can eliminate a line by pressing the backspace key ........... but thats not particularly intuitive.

I think I'm also getting extra key presses or key presses that didn't occur as I note a number of characters that I don't think I typed and some misspelled words - but perhaps its just too early in the morning ..............

As to Noscript and also Adblock, we are inseparable companions on Seamonkey - I love all that peaceful, empty space everywhere, so I can focus strictly on what I want to see or read.

Hi

I installed Dooble on a different VM with ArcaOS 5.0.6. Installed with yum with all the dependencies.

When I run dooble I get this error on POPUPLOG.

The latest libicu, 68.1-1 here, I see I still have the i686 one.

Yes, there is something wrong with the keyboard support, almost like the wrong term is used.

Hi Pete, Dooble requires the latest NSPR4 and NSS packages. It could be related as the Mozilla apps sure didn't like the updated ones. Dooble stays up for hours of light use here, I still mostly use SeaMonkey.
As David suggested, try catching stdout/stderr, I use (without the quotes) "dooble.exe 2>&1 | tee dooble.log" to redirect to dooble.log and the console.
Another possibility for everyone is problems created by too high of a VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT, I just lowered mine as a test. Values need to be X00 in hex or these, 2048, 2304, 2560, 2816, 3072. There's likely others too.

Hi,
l thank those working on Dooble, for me this is a great step forward!!

I have a x61 here with only ArcaOs installed (5.0.1), 3GB. On this machine Dooble runs well, not fast but very stable, until now. I could open any page I tried
@Remy : I can open your hompage right away and everything works, I can even look at the video concerning Warpstock and AvxCat.
The only Issue until now is setting a homepage to be opened when startting the browser.
I set this page as Homepage : https://lite.qwant.com/
The browser starts and seems to load the page but the page stays empty. Typing the address manually the browser loads the page with no obvious problem. No big issue anyway.

I have a second machine here, a X200, same installation. It has 8 GB installed, 3 GB recognized by ArcaOS. On this machine the browser starts but actually immedeately crashes when opening the most pages. I can load Os2world but as soon as I try to f.e. open a thread in the forum the browser crashes. Still working on this, I do believe it is rather a problem concerning QT5 on this machine, have to keep trying.

Thanks, my mistake. There where some libraries that were not updated on that VM. I run "Yum update" and now it is working.

Another weirdness with dooble. With Firefox or SeaMonkey, if the browser is already running and you open another instance with lets say "firefox.exe https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php?topic=3048.new#new" the currently running Firefox gets the URL and opens a new window or tab with the passed URL depending on settings. This can be bypassed with the -no-remote parameter.
With dooble, a whole new instance of dooble is started, using the same profile as well (doesn't seem to be a way to have multiple profiles) which might cause problems like when both instance write to the same file.
Anyways seems less then optimal and somewhat dangerous having this behaviour and makes it harder to open an URL from another program.

this is also happening to my Dooble
