Title: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on February 20, 2023, 02:17:05 am
Hi here's the latest release of Dooble compiled for Qt5. See the release notes under Help for what's new.

Is see only one single file in the zip - Dooble.exe. Do you mean starting this dooble.exe (not tried until yet) and look at the Help menu?

Hi

I renamed the old dooble.exe from c:\usr\bin and included this one. For the moment seems to work fine.

Thanks Dave

Regards

Maybe it's just me, but I could not download with Firefox 45. I could and did download using an older dooble build. The new build runs fine, but lacks a program icon on my system. That maybe the fault of Dynamic Icons. I like the improved history and bookmarks.

You are right Neil, that service (https://c.gmx.com/) does not work with Firefox 45. I had downloaded it with Dooble.

It is not executing for me. Kind of hard to read the help file when it is in the app that will not run.

Did you have the RPM version of Dooble installed? If not, you should install
It is not a help file, just what has changed.

Dave Yes I did have the RPM version installed.

Follow Tellies advice and look in popuplog.os2, it should have the same requirements unless I picked something in netlabs-exp, in which case there should be an entry in popuplog.os2

Meanwhile here's the icon that Paul has been distributing.
Edit: now the icon should be attached

Hello,

seems to work pretty good. Youtube plays smoothly for me, including sound. Sometimes websites stay white (going through google works then) and sometimes the programm doesn't close properly and i have to kill dooble.exe.

I notice "Open File" does not work, i tried with jpg and png files. Also in Textfields (like this one) the Del does not work. I can only delete using backspace. In the URL field Del works.

Thanls for the work done!

Yea, most of these problems are actually Qt5 or the Qt5webengine problems. Good to keep the official Bitwise RPM version around for comparison, at some point will have to open issues at Bitwise, it is still more Alpha quality. I see most of the same issues with the official Dooble-OS2 release.
As for work, Paul got the OS/2 patches accepted upstream, some of us and others have opened issues that the developer implemented, such as the tab fixes I asked for. So basically I'm just building the latest.
Edit: Fix typo

have to say a much better-stable version than my previous installed.
Opens/supports a good choice of sites as linkedin, youtube, gmail, my company organization email, OS2 World Forum ad others.
2-3 browsing windows opened same time smoothly running, and when it reaches the maximum work limit (4-5 browsing windows same time) program just quit, no system traps as it did before.
Also when exit/close the program no system traps as it did before.
Good job, right direction.

Hi

As far I can test, this version is for Qt5. I'm NOT putting Qt6 on my path, and this version of Dooble is running fine here with Qt5.

I  installed it.
- Missing icon
- After system reboot, I always have to kill Dooble to close it (hung at close time) after using it
- Clock checkbox for 24h not visible if checked or not

- Clock checkbox for 24h not visible if checked or not
 

I posted the icon upthread.
Closing seems to work better when using File-->Exit Dooble, though not always.
Never noticed with the clock, I note that the RPM version has the same problem, likely a Qt problem.

Good job, right direction.

this above was a successful test on a virtual machine (Virtualbox guest Warp 4.52) where I separately installed all QT5 environment and latest Python needed, with a standalone Dooble version learned on this forum in 2022 (not rpm). Swapped that executable version with this latest one , now well working as said.
Tried on another virtual machine with no previous QT5 environment installation wich now came by installing Dooble rpm package, and then swapped its executable with this latest, it normally opens/navigate any site after first run, but next time it does not resolve IP addresses anymore, like something prevents the translation. Do not understand which could be the cause.

hi Mauro

Just in case I checked it out with the Windows version of Dooble, and it works, (check image) will this be an issue with the OS/2 port?

Weirdly, I get a blank page at repubblica, trying the Qt6 version, I get the same issue with some characters not displaying. Unluckily Dooble doesn't have much in the way of troubleshooting stuff.
Simplebrowser has the same issue

I see.
Does it lead to a fix ?  Otherwise for me it is accettable also like this, as issue rarely occours in some pages header/title, not missing much.
Thanks

Nothing simple that I see as it is a subtle bug, works in the svgviewer but not in Dooble or the Simplebrowser so guessing it is a Qtwebengine issue. In the fullness of time, an issue should be raised at Bitwise but as it is minor, no rush and maybe other fixes will fix it.

Hello Dave!

The DELete key doesn't work in text forms like the one here for typing a reply. Windows version from December and with QT6 doesn't suffer from this problem.

Greetings,

Hi Sandra, known issue and exists in the simplebrowser as well, so a webengine issue. IIRC, there's other keys that don't work.
Simple browser is at @unixroot\usr\lib\qt5\examples\webenginewidgets\simplebrowser\simplebrowser.exe, good for double checking if an issue is a Dooble issue or the webengine. There's other examples that are handy, tried the textfinder and delete key does work there.

I downloaded Dooble from ECSoft dooble_2023_02_25 and installed the prerequsites with RPM. It's looking for qt5webw, where can I find it at?
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on March 01, 2023, 09:22:14 pm
Hi,
Code: [Select]
yum provides qt5webw.dll
qt5-qtwebengine-5.15.2-1.oc00.pentium4

Easiest is to just install the RPM version of Dooble, rename it to something like dooble_rpm.exe in case you want to compare and copy mine to @unixroot\usr\bin.
Note that you need to be using pentium4 as your platform, so might need to change that,easiest in ANPM under Manage-->Platform...

The RPM for Dooble is only available for pentium4, so not for i686.
Try using the Arca Noae Package Manager (use Manage --> Platforms to add pentium4, and make sure it is listed at the top).
After that you should find the dooble package under Available in the left window of ANPM.

That did the trick. Dooble work for me now but I am getting a bunch of certificate errors when browsing to sites. Dooble 1.53 is also doing the same thing.

Have you installed and updated the ca-certificates package?
There is a setting towards the bottom of Web to ignore ssl errors, though it is safer if you don't need it.
Might also be worth trying to delete %HOME%\.pki and let it rebuild. First run of Dooble will complain.

Seems to load here, lots of books, a load more button, a contact form wit a submit button and a map showing it at 12330 1/2 lake City Way.
Try removing your profile, %HOME%\.dooble.
I see it hang a lot here when exiting and then when restarting, things break. Why it hangs when exiting, I don't know.

Deleting %HOME%/.double allows me to see the page. If I exit, dooble hangs, but responds to window list->close. If I start double again, the page still renders fine.

Oddly, Windows 11/Edge does not properly render the page, but only gets the last entry field and button.

I've also uploaded all the dictionaries, probably overkill. https://c.gmx.com/@744346040190108571/VIwdo3n4RpCjtRqwQ-FebQ (https://c.gmx.com/@744346040190108571/VIwdo3n4RpCjtRqwQ-FebQ)
For Dooble to find the dictionaries, the ones you want to use need to be installed in the directory qtwebengine_dictionaries which must be a subdirectory of the directory where you have dooble.exe installed, here @unixroot/usr/bin/qtwebengine_dictionaries. Just unpack the languages directly into this directory, not subfolders.
These are good for Paul's Qt6 builds of dooble, same rules. Same with the blocklists, work the same whether Qt5 or Qt6 build.
PS, don't forget to enable spell checking languages in the settings.

Perhaps a bug when trying to download to a directory, likely in Qt. Try letting it download to the default, %HOME%\desktop.
Hm, testing, Qt6 version of Dooble just stalled after trying about 4 times, each said stalled. Qt5 version of Dooble worked fine with the default, here W:/Home/Desktop. Possible needs to use / for a directory separator and it might even be case sensitive.
If you keep having problems, I can put a copy on Google Drive.
Edit: Looking at your screenshot, the PATH seems fine. You could temporally try a different profile.

Could be, have to be both the version that Qt5 uses as well as Qt6.
Playing with wal (write ahead logging, https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html (https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html), while things work, I get no wal files, do get shm files.
Code: [Select]

shm never worked for Mozilla as we were lacking the mmap support. We also had to get Ihle to add the wal support to sqlite for OS/2 when Mozilla started using it. That was before sqlite removed OS/2 support.
Thing is really how we're maintaining our fork by maintaining the old code isn't ideal. What should have been done was someone writing a  vfs for us. https://www.sqlite.org/vfs.html (https://www.sqlite.org/vfs.html)
As our wal support was added at a time when mmap shared memory wasn't available, perhaps it has introduced a bug now that the build process finds it.
I will note that sqlite seems fine here with wal turned on.
sh script to enable wal when run in .dooble,
Code: [Select]
ls *.db | while read filename;
  do sqlite3 $filename 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;';
done;
change the WAL to delete in the PRAGMA line to turn it off.

Hi Holger, not much changed but code does keep getting added to Dooble. I think these SIGTRAP's are caused by lack of resources. If you haven't marked the QT5 dll's to load high, you could try that. "highmem -c qt5*.dll" ran in @unixroot\usr\lib. Otherwise not sure.

It is strange. Something to do with the sqlite3 database's I guess. You could try vacuuming them, under Edit, though probably won't help.
It's surprising the differences between builds. My environment hasn't changed so I guess just the Dooble code changes are triggering the results. Here, the latest is closing like it should, unlike the last few versions, and the first tab doesn't load, have to open a 2nd one to load a page.

Hi Dave

What I see as common to all builds of Doodle to date:-

Takes around a minute to load and become useable

First tab never loads anything but about:blank which I have set as homepage

Browser use lasts between 3 minutes and around an hour depending on use. Playing videos generally gives short use. When browser crashes it often takes the system down as well requiring a press of the system box Power Off button.

As svg support is missing bits of websites can be invisible eg ebay has a sort order and list or gallery view options that are not visible using Dooble.

Your builds: Only difference that I have noticed is that it is necessary to press Enter after selecting a url from the url history dropdown list in order to load that page - other browsers and earlier builds of Dooble simply load the selected url without the need to press Enter.

Is the above behaviour common?

You can also add for example

&_sop=10

after the URL in order to switch the sort order to 'newly listed'. And there are other sort options that can be added after the URL, like &_sop=1 for 'ending soonest' etc.

Not actually sure why svg support is missing - pretty sure qt5 includes qt5svg.dll - unless the webengine doesn't use the qt provided version of svg?

I'll have to test with a Qt6 webengine.

It's not totally missing, just some SVG's aren't rendered. https://www.repubblica.it/ (https://www.repubblica.it/) is a good testcase, at the top of the page is "la Repubblica"  rendered by svg. Dooble renders "l   e   li". I captured the svg code in SeaMonkey and fed it to the svgviewer example, which displayed it fine. This is the same for the Qt5 and Qt6 based Dooble. At that many of the issues I see are the same for Qt5 and Qt6. Be nice if Dimitriy's life settles down to the point where he can work on these bugs, many which are likely in Chromium.
I attach the svg testcase.

Hi Pete,
Hi Dave

What I see as common to all builds of Doodle to date:-

Takes around a minute to load and become useable

I don't see this, it becomes usable pretty quick here if the tabs aren't being restored, if they are, once loaded it is usable.

Quote
First tab never loads anything but about:blank which I have set as homepage

Seems it used to work here, but yes, the first tab looks like it is loading the page but doesn't render it. Open a new tab and it works fine. Later the 1st tab does load pages, at least some times.
I see the same on the Qt6 builds

Quote
Browser use lasts between 3 minutes and around an hour depending on use. Playing videos generally gives short use. When browser crashes it often takes the system down as well requiring a press of the system box Power Off button.

I get longer use, have left it open all day. But I'm still mostly using SeaMonkey and only lightly using Dooble and eventually the system will lock up. I avoid videos as often they don't play. The Qt6 versions seem more crashy, especially when it comes to video.
I think the biggest problem is memory, all browsers are dropping 32 bit support due to being too crashy. The web. as rendered by modern browsers, has become very memory intensive.

I don't seem to have to press enter to load a page, in the current tab, when accessing history in the History menu.

The other behaviour I see is sometimes clicking the exit button on the frame rather doesn't work or leaves a zombie process that can easily be killed. Latest build is better but still sometimes leaves the zombie. True for both Qt5 and Qt6 builds. At that the builds seem to share most bugs, excepting Qt6 likes to crash on AV1 videos and seems to use more resources and dies sooner.

Hi Dave

Not the History menu, the dropdown list on the url entryfield ie click down arrow at end of url entryfield and select from that list.

Hmmm... wonder why it takes so long to become usable here... It has been like this since the first release.

What I see once Dooble is onscreen is the browser trying to load the homepage  which is what takes most of the "startup time". The browser is not usable until the url entryfield shows the homepage about:blank. I can open a new tab using the + during this time which ends up waiting for the about:blank homepage or try loading something from Favourites or History in a new tab which results in the url showing in the url entryfield and the browser pretending it has loaded the selected page.

If I do not wait for the first tab at startup to actually load the about:blank homepage Dooble simply does not display any webpage until restarted and about:blank has finally loaded.

All libs involved are up to date - unless Dooble needs something later from netlabs-exp?


I think we all wish Dimitriy the best and hope that he will be able to look into the various bugs with qt5/Chromium in the (near-ish) future.

Pete

I just went to Settings-->Display and pressed the X (looks like its in a stop sign) at the end of the Home line which erased about:blank and then pressed the Apply button. Opening more tabs do show about:blank but the first one just has "Enter Address" in the URL bar
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Pete on April 19, 2023, 07:36:43 pm
Hi Dave

Yes, that gets rid of about:blank as the homepage.

Trouble is it "moves " slow loading to the next tab opened which then fails to display the webpage - in this case https://www.os2world.com/cms/ - although Dooble behaves as though the page has loaded.

Opening a third tab and entering a url works.

Think I'll revert to about:blank as homepage and cut out the middle stage above.

Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Pete on April 20, 2023, 02:43:56 am
Hi Dave

Had not investigated Profiles but on looking it seems that deleting the .dooble directory is the way to create a new profile when dooble is next started.

Well, that worked, Dooble starts much more quickly and is ready for use immediately - as long as I open a 2nd tab to enter a url into. If I try to use the 1st tab nothing loads.

So loading problem solved - wonder what was in the profile causing the problem.

I then discovered most of the text is missing from webpages and had to rack my brain to remember that it was necessary to select a different Sans Serif font to that pre-selected. I opted for Droid Sans, reloaded os2world.com and all the missing text appeared. Just documenting that here for when I cannot remember the font trick again  :-)

Seems the sqlite3 files can get corrupted too easily when a crash happens, I've had to start over a few times with a new profile, and also keep the Qt6 profile separate from the Qt5 one.
Interesting about the font. I have a lot installed here and it generally defaults to various Bitstream Vera ones.
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Pete on April 20, 2023, 02:28:07 pm
Hi Dave

I have not added to whatever fonts got installed by 5.0.5 - no Bitstream fonts installed. Dooble had defaulted to mainly Helvetica. Guess I should have a look at extra fonts.

Dooble rarely gets closed - it usually crashes taking down the system - I should probably use a cmd file to start Dooble with the first line deleting the .dooble directory to avoid possible profile problems.

OK, looking at Dooble on the last beta, the fonts it uses are, Arial, Courier New and Times New Roman. Doesn't look quite as nice as on my usual install but works satisfactory.
Problem with deleting the profile regularly is you lose too much, history, some logins, the block list and anything you've personalized.
You could set up things how you like, install the block list etc, and the block list helps a lot with stability by stopping a lot of ads and their JavaScript, back up the profile and restore regularly.

On my second machine everything worked right out of the box.

Hi Dave
Your new version was very pleasantly surprised. It is for now the best I've tried.
But within a few minutes it is blocked, and the first page is loaded to the fourth tab I open.
When the Shared High Memory will be done at 650 to 700Mb the game is over.
I have the last version of Paul of the FFMPEG installed, and it works very well,
 I can watch full screen videos with your Dooble QT5.

I attach a patch that I have been using to unlock the memory, which I find interesting.
It helps to extend the time of use. In the YOUTUBE ads it fails, so it is better not to click on the red icon,

My patch also fails when after opening the YouTube, you open www.ebay.com, a sound error is created,
 which is repeated, you have to pause the video, wait for the noise to stop and give the play again.
But despite these failures, the DLLs that I comment on the patch should be checked.

I have to use the QT6 build of Dooble sometimes as the QT5 build is getting ancient, Chrome 83 while the newest is Chrome 114. With sites mostly caring about the most recent version and version-1, more and more sites will break. The Qt6 build that I'm using isn't much newer either but does seem to work on the odd site where the Qt5 one doesn't. Seems the Qt6 version I have is Chrome 90, still old but Paul's newer builds are really unstable or I lost track which were stable.
Most of your sites worked with the Qt6 build, unlike the Qt5 build at least until sigtrapping (memory?) though I never logged in and some like the super market flyer were still somewhat broken.
All versions have a bug too when it comes to displaying SVG images.
The problems, besides straight bugs like the SVG one, is that Dmik seems to busy, doesn't like to update and the newer the chrome version, the more memory hungry it is in this 64 bit world, which is screwing up with Paul's progress.

Hi Neil,

this is what I get when opening, for example, nextdoor.com. At least no blank page, same with paypal or ebay. I played around with ebay a little bit, I am able  to start a search, but then things slow down
Over all, David's last version of the qt5 dooble is a great improvement for me and my needs. I must admit that I mainly stick to only 3 or 4 sites which I visit daily, but these work well.

Regarding Nextdoor.com, Displaying the login page is trivial. Actually logging in is needed to derive any of the gain of using their website.

eBay and PayPal can actually log in and do some things, but not the things I'd normally do on those web sites.

This is not meant as criticism of the dooble porters/developers. I'm documenting what is broken at this time. I'm hopeful that development will continue and improvements will be made.
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on May 09, 2023, 06:08:44 am
The problems are, most of the webengine is in Qt, and that's where it needs to be fixed, Dooble is sorta like a skin over Chromium/Qt. Dmitriy is the only active developer with the needed skills and he isn't too active lately. There's other weird problems, perhaps with the compilers optimizations, Dooble and especially optimize things to the max, which seem to introduce subtle bugs. Consider Mozilla, the minimally optimized i686 builds are way more stable then the more optimized builds.
All the versions of Dooble I've built have been on top of the same Qt5 and yet they've surprisingly varied in stability considering most of the code hasn't changed.
There also seems to be problems with the profile getting some type of corruption with time and crashes, which means having to test with new profiles regularly, a hassle. I've been using wal on the sqlite3 files, which seems to help as it makes it more likely that corruption caused by crashes can be rolled back. Here's the sh script to turn it on, run in the profile
Code: [Select]
ls *.db | while read filename;
  do sqlite3 $filename 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;';
done;
Change WAL to delete and rerun to turn it off.

Hi Neil, did not think you were criticizing, sorry if my reply sounded like that! I just wanted to stress the fact that everyone of us is having different experiences with dooble for many various reasons. I just feel lucky and happy to be able to do the few things I like to do when using a browser, but it looks like I am having luck and I do not know why some things work here at least to some extent.

Hi here's the latest release of Dooble compiled for Qt5. See the release notes under Help for what's new.
https://c.gmx.com/@744346040190108571/HQZnnDywT-ejiK1nqp1OYw (https://c.gmx.com/@744346040190108571/HQZnnDywT-ejiK1nqp1OYw)

testing (QT5 environment on OS2 Warp 4.52 in Virtualbox guest, with 4Gb RAM), it opens the pages efficiently as before and I can run at least 3 pages same time on different "resource demanding" sites as Linkedin, Youtube, Gmail, Newsmedia. It also keeps same unstability issues which happen randomly, or at least I cannot tell when/why : cpu usage on Dooble instance goes at 100% (seen with Top), site pages not responding and almost everything slowdown in the system, but I can still operate Top to kill the process.  Guess memory usage matter

Hi Dave,

Here's the latest release. This time I built an RPM and this is the resulting zip. Perhaps I should revert to how I was doing it previously? The RPM itself has a link on the other thread.

My browser Seamonkey does not open this link. Is it possible to place the archive somewhere else or give recommendations for downloading?
I can also offer my server to host the archive, if that's interesting.

And yes, it would be good to have somewhere better to host the files.

Hi Dave, thamk you for the new release.

Installed today on one of my machines (x201s) and found a strange issue.
I had your previous release installed before but never noticed this: When setting a Homepage in settings-display-home the homepage does not load after dooble has started. It seems to load, but then I get the message *the page could not be loaded* (previously I had a blank page set as homepage). I switched back to you last release, deleting all dooble directories before starting dooble, same result. If I click on the homepage icon after the error message the page is loaded at once.
On my second machine (x61) I have your previos release installed, same homepage set, works very well, loads the page without any problem.
I played around with dooble on the x201s, trying different pages as hompage.  It seems that when changing the hompage, closing and restarting dooble, the hompage is loaded once. Afterwards, after closing and restarting I again see the error message as mentioned with 1 exeption
The page I usually define as homepage is
https://lite.qwant.com/
The only page that works on the x201s installation  is
https://www.spiegel.de/

Any idea what could be the cause for this?

Thank you once again for your work!

Holger

Hi Holger, it seems to be a common problem where the first tab does not load whatever you try to load. Create a new tab and use that and it is fine. No idea what the problem is except it seems to happen to most of us.
Work around, start Dooble with your homepage as a parameter,
Code: [Select]
dooble https://lite.qwant.com/
works fine here, simplest is to add it to the program object.

Hi Dave,

I had tried this before, but it only works one time when closing and rebooting dooble, the next time I start dooble I have the same problem as before.
I now installed the new release of arcaos on the x201s. I have a lot of problems with this relase, but dooble works fine. I can set the homepage in dooble, it loads every time i start dooble, it even shuts down every time with no problems.

Hi Holger, on the new install, did you also have a new Home directory? If so, you've done the equivalent of creating a new profile.
Get a crash/freeze at the wrong time and the profile could get corrupted.
BTW, I added lite.qwant.com to my Dooble program object. When starting, it takes a surprising amount of time to load, but does load. Nice search engine

Hi Dave,
on the new install I first had to install qt5 using anpm, then I installed the dooble version from anpm too but did not start it. Instead I replaced it with your most recent version, so yes, this was a completely new profile.
By the way, yes qwant light loads slowly in dooble, loads a lot faster in firefox, but I like this search engine. I even defined it as the seacrh engine to use in the search bar of dooble.

Another Dooble release, this is the 2023.07.15 release though I had to patch it as our local sockets do not support permissions, and as the tag was already used, I tagged as 2023.07.16.
Biggest change is the --attach parameter, along with the --listen parameter.
Code: [Select]
dooble --listen
dooble --attach https://arcanoae.com https://nasa.gov
Will open dooble first and then open the URL's in the same instance. Don't mind the 2nd splash screen, dooble needs to do some house cleaning before attaching.

Hi there and thank you for all the replies.
To put it more precisely: there is no problem when it comes to loading the page. It loads well and ( as a subscriber) I can log in. I literally meant that I can't read any articles. I can click on any header  but then nothing happens at all. It seems like no links are recognized by dooble, so there is nothing to open, with a few exceptions.

For the german readers:
Hallo und vielen Dank für die vielen Antworten.
Um es genauer zu sagen: Es gibt kein Problem mit dem Laden der Seite. Sie lädt relativ schnell und (als Abonnent) kann ich mich einloggen. Ich meinte wörtlich, dass ich keine Artikel lesen kann. Ich kann auf eine beliebige Überschrift klicken, aber dann passiert gar nichts. Es scheint, als ob dooble keine Links erkennt, so dass sich bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nichts öffnen lässt.

How would you install the new dooble build?

It sounds like it requires QT6. Does the VOICE repository have QT6? Are any .exp repositories needed?

The version I built is linked against Qt5, just the possibility of linking to Qt 6.5.2 was added to Dooble, so the source supports building against Qt5 or various Qt6 levels.

When I try to get the dooble at ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/rpm/, I get password required.

ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/rpm/ (http://ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/rpm/)

Is there something wrong with link above?

Nope, the link is correct and has the username already in it: dry (the string before the "@" in the url).
You only have to supply an emailaddress for the password. Dave already explained that in a previous post (reply 123 in this thread, from July 27).

Neil, you should also have access to the rpm's on arcanoae-exp. They're the same rpm's, just that the Arca Noae repositories are the only ones I have access to and it was requested to use arcanoae-exp for these.
Need to look into making them available on the Netlabs server.

Hi!

How to correct this error I have since several dooble drop (it worked with older one)
As well, translates files aren't found too ! 
dooble needs a lot of time to establish a session and load first page at startup ! (more than 10s after dooble is up)

Regards

Update:  about translates, I found that the location under RPM is share/dooble/translates while dooble is looking under usr/bin/translates (added this dir resolved the translate error message but dict isn't resolved yet.

Hi Eugene, did you test the spell checker and/or the translations?
BTW, interesting that YouTube works for you, here when playing AV1 videos, which seems to be most of them, video playback pauses after a few seconds and stays stuck.
You can right click on a video and choose "Stats for Nerds" to see what the video/audio formats are.

Hi Remy, thanks for the report. Guess I need to test on a virgin system. For now, move the dictionaries to @unixroot\usr\bin\webengine_dictionaries.

This path is taken and found.
Now, dictionaries have to be in .bdic binary format while those insalled using ANPM only have .dic and .aff  (.bdic missing)
I found the .bdic at :  https://github.com/cvsuser-chromium/third_party_hunspell_dictionaries

enabling the use of the added dic, as soon as I try to update a form field, it fails.
e.g. adding my userid into the userid loging field for os2world forum.

Note: other bug, the suppr key doesn't work in a form field...

Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on December 01, 2023, 05:46:23 pm
Something else to add to the readme. @unixroot\usr\lib\qt5\bin\qwebengine_convert_dict.exe will convert the myspell dictionaries. Run with no parameters to see how to use.
I had no problem logging on here with Dooble and posting this shows lots of words such as Dooble that aren't in the dictionary. Perhaps something wrong with your profile or the bdic dictionary is broken.
The suppr, or delete key not working is a known Qt issue.
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Remy on December 03, 2023, 08:03:33 pm
Ok, I build the dictionaries and set one dictionary to use.
I tried again to loging to os2world, first form (userid) was ok but as soon I click in the psw field, the page failes ! (replaced by a full grey page and have to reload it to get back)

This build, ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/dooble/dooble-2024.12.06-Qt5.zip is the same as the previous build except it has fixed window title and window list for non-English titles, best shown with Remy's page, https://remydodin.levillage.org/en/ (https://remydodin.levillage.org/en/).Other languages depend on the window title's font having the correct glyphs. Example, https://ru.ecomstation.ru/ (https://ru.ecomstation.ru/), which here shows the Russian in the title bar and question marks for the missing glyphs in the window list.
Also need ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/Qt5libs-2024-12.06.zip I'd advise backing up the original DLL's in @unixroot and replacing them. Don't lxlite the plugin (qos2.dll) as there is metadata that will be lost if using lxlite on it. Qt5core.dll has debug data that should probably be kept.
Thanks to Rich for coming up with the patches.

Strange. My fonts are attached. Does "fc-scan -b X:PSFONTS.PFB" (change to your boot letter) display info about the font? Could try clearing the cache, "fc-cache -r", takes a few seconds.
Edit: That should have been "fc-scan -b X:/PSFONTS/TNR.PFB" Not sure how that got truncated.

Could some of you give a try adding Dooble parm (QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS):  --audio-process-high-priority
Does it have an effect ?   positive or negative ?   (youtube, other audio src type)

Note: Since having added this parm, I'm able to listen music (web radio) under a tab, open a second tab, do scroll down or up or add a fird tab and view a  youtube video having then both sound (radio + youtube) mixed together and not get freezes or hung for longer time ... (get any since several hours)

I attached my updated qt6env command file to start Dooble (using my priority settings and flags including  --audio-process-high-priority)
Update it to your environment, your best priority settings (change idle-time or may be time-priority) etc...

I was able to choose a font that made the text visible. Now configured:
  Sans Serif: Droid Serif
But with most of the fonts I choose the text becomes invisible.

Now there is a new problem - I can't enter text in my language in the address bar and in forms on websites. Only English works. The text is not being entered, this is not due to the fact that it is invisible.

Can you test with the simplebrowser? Should be at @unixroot\usr\lib\qt5\examples\webenginewidgets\simplebrowser\simplebrowser.exe. There's other example programs if you want to test other things such as form entry.

Were they working for you before? Did you update the Qt5 libs that I posted?

I mentioned this in an email to Dave and Paul last week: composing an accented character using Alt-Gr doesn't work. Instead, the menu gets the focus when releasing Altr-Gr.

However, composing a character that uses a diacritical that is already a dead-key on the keyboard does work. For example, a tilde (~) + 'n' produces 'ñ'. (I'm using the US International keyboard layout for testing so YMMV.)

I just restored the original QT5 dlls and the original version of Dooble, and Alt-Gr didn't work with them either so this is nothing new. I'll look into it.

Here is a tip for those that do not like the command  prompt window for dooble starting up and staying on the desktop.

1. Left click on the Dooble program icon.

(2. Under the Program tab, delete the last charactor in the the Path and File Name box  e) changing dooble.exe to dooble.ex

3. Select the Session tab.

4. At the bottom of the tab, check the Start Minimized.

5. Under the Program tab, add back the e in the the Path and File Name box changing dooble.ex to dooble.exe.

6. Close properties session.

7. Start Dooble.

You should not see the command prompt window as it is started.

Hi Dave,

with the latest version German Umlaute ä,ö,ü,ß are now working again.

Greetings,

Good to hear. Rich redid his previous patch.

Yes, muscle memory made me write 2024 instead of 2025. I see I did it multiple times too.

OK, please test ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/dooble-2024-01-09-Qt5.zip also need ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/Qt5libs-2025-01-09.zip
After installing the new dlls, it is possible to enter diacritics in the navigation bar in all versions.

Dooble QT5 2024-12-31 does only show the mobile ersion of Google Calendar. If I switch to the desktop-version, there are only the frames on the sides.
Where can I get the languages-files?
Thank you for your work!

Hi cbx, welcome.
Problem is that the Qt5 build of Dooble is based on an old Chromium, the Qt6 build is slightly newer but still old.
I uploaded the translations to ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/dooble/Dooble_Translations.zip password an email address.

Hello Dave

OK, please test ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/dooble-2024-01-09-Qt5.zip also need ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/Qt5libs-2025-01-09.zip

I tried Dooble on Qt5 and works here as expected. I'm running it with the replaced files from "Qt5libs-2025-01-09.zip". What improvement does "Qt5libs-2025-01-09.zip" has? I just ask this because if it is working fine, it would be great to put those on the Qt5 rpm if there are no complains.

Regards

What improvement does "Qt5libs-2025-01-09.zip" has?

1- an improved method for displaying UTF-8 in the titlebar. Dooble enables this feature automatically.

To enable it in other QT apps (not necessarily a good idea) use this new environment variable:
    SET QT_UTF8=[ 1 |  Y | ON ]
(the old variable, "QT_PM_CP" has been abandoned)

2- composing characters using dead keys and AltGr should now work correctly.

Post by: Dave Yeo on January 18, 2025, 01:29:39 am
Here's the patches. Note the Dooble patch was on top of Rich's previous fix, easy to see how it applies.
Also the otter-browser in the ftp's tmp directory has the same fix. The next drop of Qt6 that Paul does will have the same fix and that will enable the Qt6 version of Dooble that is in tmp to do the same.
Be good to have updated Qt5 qtbase RPM updated

Yes, something seems broken with the ftp protocol. Here with the Qt6 dooble, I got a blank page, Qt5 dooble closed.
Tried ftp://ftp.os2voice.org/dooble/ too, Qt6 dooble kept reverting to about:blank, Qt5 dooble gave me an error about the site not being reached.
Tried ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/dooble/ and got a popup to enter user and password, after entering the info, dooble-qt5 vanished., dooble-qt6 gave a blank page.
These failures also don't get saved in the history, just the ftp://ftp.os2voice.org/dooble/ with the not found error got saved.
I'd guess the ftp problem is in the Qtwebengine.
OTOH, gopher works, eg gopher://magical.fish/

Yes. Skia, which Qtwebengine uses, seems much slower then Cairo at drawing the canvas. Cairo's OS/2 surface is meant for 2D acceleration while Skia likely expects 3d acceleration. Skia might be able to be tuned for faster rendering on our platform but looking, the main reason it is faster is it uses the GPU rather then the CPU like Cairo. That seems to be the reason that most everyone has moved to Skia. Even our Firefox has a configure option to use Skia and does on Windows and Mac.

That's strange and doesn't happen here. Looking at the documentation, we have,

Supported Schemes
Dooble supports the FILE, FTP, GOPHER, HTTP(S), and JAR schemes.
So Dooble should open the FTP//: links.

put link ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Major/ + enter

It looks like Dooble is opening ftp link but not into its browser nor into a new tab and cmd is resolved as system browser to open

Have your default ArcaOS set to firefox and firefox not started
then, start Dooble and give a try to the link

Hi Dave !

The test you can try:
Start Dooble, open this os2world web page and then clic on above FTP link ...
Always start my default browser firefox. 

I found some information about FTP no more supported under Chrome since 88... like current firefox windows 64 no more supporting it.
Is the case for Dooble ? If yes and at least, I expect a popup menu to select external ftp compatible program to use and route the link to it  ::)

I wonder why passing an NSPR4 argument has an effect on Dooble? It is an OS/2 thing and as far as I remember only the environment variable has an effect.
Dooble --help 2> dooble.hlp gives this for the list of dooble specific arguments,
Code: [Select]
Dooble
 --attach
 --disable-javascript
 --executable-current-url PROGRAM
 --full-screen

 --reload-periodically 15, 30, 45, 60
 --test-aes

 --test-threefish

Chome has a huge list of arguments, which I assume the Qtwebengine also has, see https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
They can usually passed in the environment set QTWEBENGINE_FLAGS=

Hello

Today I was trying Dooble (Qt5) with Element (chat program). In the past it used to load (good or bad), but now it says the software it is incompatible.
- link: https://riot.im/app/#/room/#os2world:matrix.org

I thought it was something about the App, I visited their chat, and they told me that it may be something wrong on the React component of Dooble. But at that moment I tried Dooble for Windows to see if has the same issue and it don't. It loads Element without any issue and without any warning.

Is it something that we are missing on our port, something qtwebengine?

Post by: Dave Yeo on February 19, 2025, 10:08:16 pm
The Qt5 Dooble is simple, download, ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/dooble-2024-01-09-Qt5.zip unzip and use, or first install the rpm, latest is in the Arca exp repository that you should have access to as a tester. The zip is newer and can jsut replace the rpm binary. There is also some updated Qt5 DLL's to fix the Window Title in other locales in the same directory, only works with the latest.
For Qt6, you need Paul's Qt6 stuff installed, see https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,3252.0.html (https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,3252.0.html) which includes Martins script for starting Dooble.

With the "simple download" and QT from Arca Noae/Netlabs release, some websites work. This one, https:\pge.com, gives a blank page. Because many modern websites yield a blank page under both dooble and firefox, I thought I'd ask if there is something I can do to get a page like this to render?
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on February 22, 2025, 06:04:01 pm
Well https:\pge.com will never render, https://www.pge.com/ (https://www.pge.com/) almost works fine in SeaMonkey here though I don't have an account to log in and the report outages thingy fails. Dooble_Qt5 does work better and seems functional.
The Qt6 Dooble uses a newer Webengine and will display more sites but both are based on old Chromium versions and will fail on sites that expect the latest. Sometimes changing the user agent helps, funny enough I use Dooble_Qt5's user agent in SM sometimes and pages start working. Still there's a lot of newer JavaScript stuff that our old browsers won't display.
Edit: adding that Dooble_Qt5 has a bug where often the 1st tab displays a blank page, open another and try again.

FWIW,

After correcting the URL, the PGE site seems to render fine with both firefox and dooble5.  I've not tried dooble6.  Both the firefox and dooble.  This box is not quite fully updated.  Both browsers are not the most recent versions.

With firefox, I typically recommend testing with a fresh profile, just in case.

Thanks! I had not bothered to check with Firefox for several years. The pge.com website had not worked for a long time. Today it works in Firefox. They do fix these websites, apparently, sometimes.

After succeeding in Firefox, I tried agian in dooble, but this time I deleted %HOME%\.dooble. Dooble is able to operate the website, aslo.

I'm sorry to have to delete my profile all the time, but since dooble does not have much for bookmarks and nothing for passwords, deleting the profile doesn't have much of a downside.

Hi Neil

You could try exporting your whatever browser current bookmarks to eg bookmarks.html then open that html file in dooble - Voila! bookmarks!
Come to think of it do *not* save the bookmarks.html to the .dooble directory because dooble will not let you open files in that directory.

I can't recall the last time I had to completely delete a production profile in firefox or dooble.  There have been a few times that I needed to restore the profile from a backup.

I use rsync with a few filters to exclude the cache directories and other transitory data such as firefox telemetry pings which is of no use to us.
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on February 23, 2025, 07:00:23 pm
For the Mozilla apps, I keep the cache on the ramdisk and regularly use rsync to backup my profile, keeping 2 generations. I also haven't had to restore a profile in ages.
For Dooble, I turn on wal (write ahead logging) which in theory should help with crashes corrupting the profile.
To turn on wal, run this sh script in your profile,
Code: [Select]
ls *.db | while read filename;
  do sqlite3 $filename 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;';
done;

to turn off

Code: [Select]
ls *.db | while read filename;
  do sqlite3 $filename 'PRAGMA journal_mode=delete;';
done;

Dooble, both Qt5 and Qt6 display archive.org fine here.
I recently zapped my profile and let Dooble create a new one. After I did disable WebGL and WebRTC, both in settings at the bottom of Web. Don't forget to press Apply after changing.
I also imported both ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/dooble/dooble_accepted_or_blocked_domains.zip and ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/dooble/dooble_filter.zip (unzip first) using Tools-->Accepted / Blocked Domains and then the import button. Doubt that made much difference for archive.org but may have.

ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/dooble-2025-04-06-Qt5.zip has some fixes.

Both recent builts (2025-04-05 and 20205-04-06) are defenitely slower than 2025-02-28 version on my TP X250.
I downgraded back to 2025-02-28 and now it is working smooth again.

Interesting. I also found it a bit slow but blamed my internet connection. Latest fixes from upstream seem to help. Some NLS fixes too, see release notes. ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/dooble-2025-04-07-Qt5.zip
BTW, I deleted 2025-04-05 as it was broken with fixes applied to the latest by upstream.

Works well too.

A problem never was resolved into QT5 nor into QT6 build or may it be a webengine issue
The "suppr" key isn't working into form fields like website search field etc... , I have to use the backward key always
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Remy on April 10, 2025, 02:43:25 pm
Hi !

A problem I just noticed.
At Dooble start, a lot of low shared memory is use.
Opening a web page, again shared memory is use

But then (a very ease case to check)

Under Dooble QT5:
Opening more tabs with different web pages from different site doesn't need more low shared memory
Under Dooble QT6:
Each new loaded web page from different site under a new tab decreases shared low free memory size until no more available shared low memory size !
(and then crash)

Could it be corrected to act as Doodle QT5 (possible QT webengine issue)
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on April 10, 2025, 04:38:31 pm
Hi Remy, both the "suppr" key problem and the shared memory problem will be QtWebEngine or other Qt lib based, probably QtWebEngine. Unluckily the webengine, basically Chromium, is huge and I don't know my way around it. Very hard to compile too.
With Dooble, both Qt5 and Qt6 are built from the exactly the same source code.

The URL's don't seem to work for me.  And when I downloaded a prior dooble zip there wasn't a complete set of instructions how to get it to work on my Arca 5.1.1 computer.  Can someone give me some tips, as I had previously gotten dooble to do some sites FireFox wouldn't run.  Thanks for any help

Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on April 10, 2025, 11:34:09 pm
Hi Matt, the simplest way is to start out with one of the RPM builds such as ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/rpm/dooble-2024.11.23-1.oc00.pentium4.rpm and then replace dooble.exe with the one in the zip file. You can use ANPM to install the RPM. Manage-->Yum Tools-->Install Package from File.
What FTP client are you using? With SeaMonkey or Firefox, the URL should work, when it asks for a password, enter your email.
For other FTP clients, you may have to go to ftp.os2voice.org. log in as dry and enter your email address as password, then navigate to the right directory. How you log in will vary on client. Anonymous log in will take you to the regular os2voice ftp site.
Sorry for no recent RPM builds, something broke here and I haven't chased it down.

Under Dooble QT6:
Each new loaded web page from different site under a new tab decreases shared low free memory size until no more available shared low memory size !
(and then crash)

Worth checking that \qt6-6.2.x\lib\qt6web*.dll are marked high. I've screwed this up in a couple of releases.
highmem -c \qt6-6.2.x\lib\*.dll

Reboot done, dooble not started.
In case of doubt having it correctly done, I run the command again (all modules are high)
First dooble start following high setting:
I run a new test and have the same result (each new additional tag with a different link) uses more and more shared low storage until 0

Could it be a webengine spawn issue or something else ? no idea

I tried Brave browser under windows7 using chromium too (109.xxx)
No issue under windows and not "suppr" pb too

Code: [Select]
highmem -u \qt6-6.2.x\lib\*.dllShould undo the marking. Shouldn't need to reboot either if nothing is using the DLL's.
Perhaps jsut try marking Qt6WebEn.dll at first.

There is no raison to try this !

Same QT6 DLLs as I have set for QT5 are set highmem (no differences between QT5 or QT6)
QT5 = ok
QT6 = memory issue  (may be this could explain many crashes or silent close all seems to have !)

Who verified if the problem is similar on they system (not into VM machines and been under a real hw system)?

I doubt this is the cause of the crashes/silent closes - qt6 webengine builds have been out for ~2 years now and nobody has commented on low memory being exhausted previously. Not saying you're not seeing the behaviour.

99% of the OS/2 specific code is the same between Qt5 and Qt6 - so I'm struggling to explain this, hence my suggestion to ensure the DLL's are marked high. Which Qt6WebEn.dll build are you using, and do you see the same behaviour with all releases?

I use the latest QT6WebEn.dll  for 6.2.x   (2025-01-19)
https://smedley.id.au/tmp/qt6-6.2.11-qtwebengine-6.2.6-os2-20250119.zip

How many tabs are user openning under Dooble (before, I only opened a mximum of 2 tabs and because it worked, I didn't check meomory use but after openning more tabs and having silent Dooble close many times, I begin to check what happens about memory use and then, I saw this ! (have silent close as soon no enough memory is available)

It looks like none tried to open more tabs and check memory use. Who did it ?
Which QT6WebEn.dll do you suggest to use ? Thanks


Update:
Tried QT 6.2.9 (2024-11-25), QT 6.2.10 (2024-10-11) and currently using 6.2.11 (same issue under all 3 qt environment)
As soon I see free memory decreasing to below 10M, I stop Dooble

I will (almost) always recommend the latest qt6weben.dll. Does the same occur with simplebrowser.exe? (I think that's the right name)
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Remy on April 12, 2025, 01:09:49 am
I tried otter browser and same issue.

Here are several screenshots with the corresponding free shared low memory value (between eatch screen capture, I only opened new tabs....
To get memory back, closing a tab has no effect and only closing Dooble will free used memory


Currently using latest Dooble build which was done on QT 6.2.8 !
Previous one was on QT 6.2.10.
 
A little change but same amount of storage is taken.
- Dooble QT6.2.8   -  opening the second TAB didn't take memory until I load a page
- Dooble QT6.2.10 - opening the second TAB without a link will take the same amount of memory than under QT6.2.8 and loading the same page didn't change this value  (both uses same memory once a page is loaded)


Tried: https://smedley.id.au/tmp/qt6weben-6.2.6-20250124.zip  same issue

Under QT5, low shared memory decreases at first opened tab than, only free high shared memory decreases for any other opened tab

Now, tried simplebrowser from QT6.2.11
(I set correct environment and run simplebrowser)

At open time + initial link page load, it took about 30M of shared low storage
I check QT ver and 6.2.11 is displaied

Opened, 2, 3, 4 tabs with link, no shared low memory decrease ! it works

Was this with single process?
Here I don't find Dooble-Qt6 keeps using up lower shared memory, it does eat up high shared memory. Also at one point I lowered my VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT from 3072 to 2944 which cured a lot of the hangs here. Might want to try lowering it depending on what it is set at.

I had lower VIRTUALADDRESSLIMITE and I increased it until 2944 for best overall results.
Currently, using 2944.

Dooble.exe --disable-gpu --log-level=1

Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on April 12, 2025, 04:58:05 pm
I meant was the simplebrowser in single process mode to make a better comparision.
Code: [Select]
set QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--single-process" simplebrowser.exe
You might want to try even lower on the VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT, perhaps 2560 for a bit.
The potential problem is if PCI address space on your machine is larger then expected.

It was at 2560 before I push the value up to 2944 (increased by step and checked if all works as usual before trying next value)

interesting !
- Simplebrowser start in single process mode  (free shared low storage decreases as well but less than under Dooble)
- Tried Dooble removing single process mode : free shared low storage is nearly stable, after opening 5 tabs with links, only 30M more shared low storage was taken
  (the minus 30M occurs opening third tab or changing link from within tab2 loaded page) 

Dooble QT5 has the single process mode on but no problem (free shared memory is stable)
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Remy on April 13, 2025, 12:24:04 am
Dooble without single process mode is not usable.
When opening web pages, often the page start to load and then, it goes full grey and nothing more...
Back to single process mode but then, free memory issue....
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Dave Yeo on April 13, 2025, 01:33:30 am
Yes, multi-process mode on OS/2 is broken. It's a shame as single-process mode is only supposed to be used for debugging and it is quite possible that Qt6 is different with how it handles single-process mode.
Did this memory problem start happening with the recent releases or was it there before for you?
Title: Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds
Post by: Remy on April 13, 2025, 03:27:14 am
The problem exist under QT6.2.8 (test done yet) and up

I meant Dooble releases. This one saw using a profile on Qt6 to fix the visited links colour. Qt5 always used a profile.
Also how is the French translation working for you? There was an update, attached.

OK, nothing recent. Here, I don't really get the low shared memory dropping, just high shared memory dropping, but I do have the DLL's marked high. I'm using Qt version 6.2.8 (runtime 6.2.11).
It still locks up too much for me to use it much. It's a shame dmik has moved on.

As you could read from the post - (all QT6 6.2.x and Dooble at latest available build level), I already posted a screenshot with build version 

Duckduckgo and Google are only removed from been used by the url input link or browser direct search entries but it isn't if you go to duckduckgo or google site and issue a search. You have the same result in any cases and no need to use a search engine, just type in the direct link of the site.
