Gmail not working with latest chrom* pets in Puppy 528

#1 Post by strategic_thinker »

I am using Puppy 5.2.8. Gmail does not work when I install the respective browsers with these pets.

From: http://www.diddywahdiddy.net/LupuNews/

Iron 13 -> http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... cid528.pet
Chromium 16 -> http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... -Lucid.pet
Google Chrome 14 -> http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... -Lucid.pet


Here is the error reported on the screen when I try to go to https://gmail.com


This webpage is not available
The webpage at https://gmail.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Error 202 (net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID): Unknown error.


It happens with all the three browsers. Firefox and Opera work fine.

Thanks and regards.

I am using google chrome version 13 (0.782.112) on Puppy 5.28.
Gmail is fine.

I think its the standard Chrome version from QuickPet

No problem with Gmail.

Searching google for error 202, it seems to be a common bug. Maybe caused by using Gmail on another computer?

No. Gmail is not fine with these browsers. The point of my bug report was to inform that gmail did not work with the specified versions. I dont agree with your assertion about the 202 error.

Yes. It does work with earlier versions.

Yep, i meant gmail is fine with google chrome 13.

Is there any reason that you need version 14?

No. I don't need version 14. This is just to report the bug :-)

The problem is much more widespread than many people realize.
A couple of weeks ago I install Firefox 8.0 on 5.2.8.
Gmail and flash caused major problems. Either crashes, or some scripts were running in an endless loop. When I unloaded flash, some of the problems went away, but Gmail still did not work properly or not at all.
After a couple of days I downgraded to Firefox 7.x. Those particular problems went away. I still get flash crashing when the network link goes down (sometimes.)

I had similar flash related problems with several of the Chromium versions.
Currently I am using Chromium 10.0.630.0 and Firefox 7.0 . The browsers are acting satisfactorily, but not perfect. Gmail is not a problem on these versions..

Interesting. We're not having any problems around here with Gmail in the very latest Seamonkey... only Facebook seems to be causing a problem.
But I do recommend Gmail's "basic html" mode - it's even a usable speed ;)
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

Ok, thanks 8)

Puppy lacks a good system for reporting bugs. :arrow:

Interestingly, I am using Chromium 15.something with Xubuntu, and it asks for a root password first time it is loaded after each re-boot. My guess this is part of the problem, though I dont really see how to tie it all together with Puppy.
Have you tried running it as user spot? su spot chromium-browser I think is the command
Spup Frugal HD and USB
Root forever!
