Dillo and GTK+
by Attilio Fiandrotti March 21, 2006

March 21, 2006

Hi Recently the debian-installer, Debian's installation system, went graphical [1]: a GTK frontend was developed and to keep the instalation ISO as small as possible, so that runs even on low-mem systems, we choosed the DirectFrameBuffer [2] GTK backend (that has recently become part of GTK mainline to replace the old linux-fb). As the DFB backend allows multiple applications to render on the same VT, i was investigating about intergrating a web browser into the debian-installer so that the user is able to browse the installation manual while installing. As we need a very small and non X11-tied browser, dillo looks perfect for our purpose, but, as dillo is based on GTK 1.x, it's currently not possible running it on a GTKDFB system. I was wondering how hard would it be porting Dillo to GTK+, so that we can use it into our installer? Also, having dillo running on top of GTKDFB, would make it a very good solution for embedded applications. friendly Attilio Fiandrotti [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUI [2] http://www.directfb.org/wiki/index.php/Projects:GTK_on_DirectFB

It works here. Note: while typing fast I managed to "reproduce" the bug, but it was because I standed on src/ while doing make, and "dillorc" is in "../" from there! :-) If you find a way to reproduce the bug, it should be tackled before the release. > More when I've played with new-CVS a bit.

OK. I checked the patch, and recoded it to use D_DNS_THREADED, D_DNS*, and the same "./configure --disable-threaded-dns". Commited and in CVS now. Please test it. I'll make a 0.8.6rc1 after receiving your feedback with a view to a next release (its been a long time, and the CVS is stable enough). Note: I'm keeping 0.8.6pre in sync with the FLTK2-based tree. -- Cheers Jorge.-

dillo 0.8.5 / OpenBSD 3.6 help request
by Francis Daly March 11, 2006

March 11, 2006

Hi all, I have a report than on a stock OpenBSD 3.6 box, using dillo 0.8.5, the following recipe seems to reliably(*) cause dillo to cease responding. (*) Almost every time. On the few occasions when it survived, clicking one or two more links caused it to fail then. "cease responding" means "click link does not follow link. click bookmark does not generate bookmark page. back button works, but nothing else". http://www.google.co.nz/ Search for fred dagg click each of the first six links in turn, clicking "back" after each one. By the time you get to http://www.wordworx.co.nz/dagg.html dillo has become unresponsive. Nothing obvious logged to suggest what the problem is. On my Linux box, I don't see the problem. I *can* induce similar symptoms by ulimit'ing the number of open files, but doing that gives me an obvious "Too many open files" error. An explicit ulimit on the OBSD box gives me the same obvious errors. Are there any OpenBSD 3.6 users here who can run this recipe and see if the problem is reproducible across more machines? Thanks, f -- Francis Daly francis(a)daoine.org

Using Dillo as google search frontend.
by Jun OKAJIMA March 4, 2006

March 4, 2006

Hello. What I want to do is like this. 1. Googling with Dillo. 2. Then, a search result screen comes. 3. When click a result, firefox starts and shows the page. What I want? I want to google with a very fast browser(= dillo), but browse other pages with full browser with plugins(=Firefox). Is this possible? --- Okajima, Jun. Tokyo, Japan.

And now lately, almost everything > you type has a domain for sale, so it is really boring. I would think a trailing slash should indicate that the user knows what he's talking about - don't attempt completions then. Why does it make sense to assume a www. prefix and a .com suffix all the time? Maybe the "completion" (assuming the initial DNS lookup fails) should take the form of a list of all matching TLDs for the supplied partial name - which currently would mean about 200 DNS queries, unless there's some service you can request this from in one shot. (Which would be a neat idea - someone zings you with a partial name and you return a status code 300 with the list of options. I can imagine Google doing something like this and making it commercially feasible.) Inserting a default protocol (http://) when not supplied by the user is always handy though.

how does one do this in dillo?
by Globe Trotter Feb. 23, 2006

Feb. 23, 2006

Hi, One of the most convenient features in Firefox (and that is why I continue using it more than dillo) is that if I type dillo and then Ctrl-Shift-Enter it fills in the www. and .org for me. Same also for .com and .net. How do I change the program in dillo to be able to do it? Is there a simple example which someone could dig up for me? Many thanks and best wishes!
