Also it may help to install "libgl1-mesa-dri" .

Fred

libgl1-mesa-dri 13.0.6-1+b2 is already installed.

First thing I'd do is try deleting the cache.

Just tried that. No improvement.

I don't think it is a graphics card issue, but install mesa-utils and then from a terminal window run "glxgears -info". Do the gears work? What does it say about what graphics driver is running?

Just installed mesa-utils 8.3.0-3.

Ran glxgears -info.

Yes I see the 3 colored gears and they are spinning smoothly.

Here's the output:

See attachment.

It's a screenshot from Firefox "troubleshooting information" page.

Could it be related to the Street View click-dragging problem?

Does the opengl aquarium work? How many frame per second do you get?

https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html

I still think it is a browser thing. Try one of Fred's portable firefoxes.

About 2 frames per second using firefox 68.5.0-esr1~deb9u1 and Chromium 73

How quickly are security patches updated in Fred's portable firefoxes.

.

[dancytron]

2 frames a second is really awful. That's a symptom of your issue anyway.

Fred's portables update from Mozilla as soon as the updates come out. Much sooner than the Debian repos.

[fredx181]

Problem is, Chromium won't run when booted to root unless I use the --no-sandbox option (which gives a security warning).

And if I Exit Xterm and login as puppy, it won't let me back into Xterm (permission denied error).

You can hide the warning by adding --disable-infobars, so then:

Code: Select all

chromium --no-sandbox --disable-infobars

To get back to root from logged in as puppy:
Exit X, then type on console:

Code: Select all

exit

followed by

Code: Select all

startx

About firefox, I have a built in video card too and checking with opengl aquarium I get 6 fps, not so good.
Compared firefox-esr version 68 with newest version 73 (portable) and makes no difference for me (still 6 fps).
(google streetview with firefox is usable for me, but slow)

I just installed Palemoon 28.3.1 and it works flawlessly for StreetView cllck&drag.

It's my understanding Palemoon uses the Firefox code base.

So I'm wondering why Firefox does not work properly.

.

[fredx181]

It's my understanding Palemoon uses the Firefox code base.

Palemoon still uses the Gecko engine, firefox not anymore, since "Quantum".

Thanks Fred. Where do I get this that dancytron recommended I try :

Hi Ether, see Here and Here (install script)

What file should be modified (and how) in order to boot into puppy account instead of root ?

.

The file to modify is /etc/inittab, find the line:

Code: Select all

1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f root tty6 </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1

And change root to puppy:

Code: Select all

1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f puppy tty6 </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1

I changed "root" to "puppy" in that line, rebooted, and got the attached error message, and things stopped at that point.

Sorry for the fuzzy graphic, I took pic w/ phone camera.

Can anyone tell me how to run Chromium as puppy ?

puppy@live:~$ chromium
[10235:10235:0226/220615.555747:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /usr/lib/chromium/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

For those having trouble booting with kernel 4.9, here's alternative (32 bit only), not ofiicial Debian though.
Extract This archive: kernel-4.4.87-i386.squashfs.tar.gz in the frugal installed 'live' directory.
Contents are vmlinuz1 (should be replaced) and kernel-4.4.87.squashfs
And it should boot with with kernel 4.4.87
Taken from OscarTalks's D-pup-Stretch (thanks!).

kernel-4.4.87-i386.squashfs.tar.gz in 4th post seems to be what I been looking for.

And more important you are pointing out for a good puppy to try

...Taken from OscarTalks's D-pup-Stretch (thanks!).

I am hopping to get closer to my solution in stretch. Sadly after hours building from source gcc-5! I got it working fot Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu. Hope I can port gcc-5 to Buster64, that will be a home run hit.

Below is the script for running Chrome with su and a commented out version for gsku (which probably needs to be installed).

You should be able to change the paths to point to your chromium and make it run.

I think part of the issue you are having is that you need to set the user profile and caches to be in a place owned by the right user.

#!/bin/sh

xhost +local:puppy

su puppy -c "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable "$@" --user-data-dir=/home/puppy/chrome/user --disk-cache-dir=/home/puppy/chrome/cache --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000"

#gksu -u puppy "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --user-data-dir=/home/puppy/chrome/user --disk-cache-dir=/home/puppy/chrome/cache --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000"

I've tried to reproduce both issues, but cannot, sorry, it looks like a permissions problem, is /home/puppy (and content) owned by puppy ?
(could be because of something you did (save backup or something else ?) if it's owned by root, change to puppy again (recursive), as root :
chown -R puppy:puppy /home/puppy
EDIT: and reinstalling chromium may help

Maybe best is to run chromium logged in as root like dancytron suggested, with su puppy

Ah, yes forgot about that one.
Works for me (just tested)

Good luck with your experiments !
