Pale Moon for Slackware

dodoLQ · 03-29-2022, 12:35 PM

Compiled successfully Palemoon v30.0 on my P4 (khronosschoty's SB), took about ~18h

) HWA looks working for 15.0 (never tested that option before).

Just for clarity for me and my slow, damaged, not-very-swooft brain...have you officially taken over Basilisk, khronosschoty?

If you have, are you in the mood for a bug report (a failure of a web page to load anything but a blank, white screen), from my 2022.03.30 build?

Am I being too impatient and worried that Basilisk may be lost to us? I apologize for the former if true, and sure do wish there was something a simpleton such as myself could do to help with the latter, heh.

I don't know how to say this, so I haven't yet. The time line of events is basically as follows: I secured permission to take over basilisk, then Pale Moon 30 was released and the devs had a fight resulting in one of the devs leaving the project. I created an unofficial basilisk build with security back ported from the Pale Moon project after they reverted to Pale Moon 29 series. I then contacted moonchild about me taking over Basilisk (as we had previously discussed) so that I could potentially release an official basilisk update (not just the unofficial one I had). I was then informed that he wanted to enter into some kind of official contract and have me pay him $500 USD. So I have begun to fork Basilisk, basically just rebrand it. I wouldn't mind taking bug reports, however, I can't tell you how timely I will be able to respond to them at the moment.

As for the bug report, I guess starting with the web page in question is a good starting point.

I recall reading somewhere on the palemoon blog that moonchild expected some kind of payment for the brand. Forking and rebranding seems to be a good idea under the circumstances.

I hope/guess that some of us who appreciate basilisk are prepared to support/donate to your work with a new fork should you feel the need.

Well....

Yesterday I was close to saying how pleased I am with your Basilisk package, then today.....
What I'm about to report didn't happen yesterday. I don't know if yesterday's
-current updates have anything to do with it.
I check the weather a couple of times a day, usually at the Weather Underground site. https://www.wunderground.com
When the page first loads it displays a green panel, a popup about privacy, in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I always click on the X and the popup disappears. Today when I clicked on the X it locked up the entire computer. Frozen solid. The first time I didn't realize the connection to the popup, but when it happened the second and third time I finally put it together.

It is not a problem with Firefox or Vivaldi.
Oh, well.....

Not here it doesn't? I only get the omnipresent "accept cookies" thingy. Could it depend on from where you access the site - Europe vs. US? Different privacy regulations?

I can't reproduce the issue; but after I'm done with the final rebranding and making sure everything is okay, I'll revisit this more thoroughly.

Well, it froze three times in a row and hasn't done it since. I don't know what to say, except sorry for the noise.

Here's the 'bug' I get with Basilisk version 2022.03.30...

The HTML below is the source (using tools->web developer->page source) from the web page <https://portal.digitalpharmacist.com/login?pharmacy_id=07106b72-7c4a-45db-b5ee-4a4fa44f062f>

All Basilisk does is bring up a blank, white screen. I have to open Firefox <shudder> to get the page to open correctly.

Here is the source of the page, note that it is 1 single line of code!:

Code:

1 <!doctype html><html lang="en"><head><meta charset="utf-8" /><meta httpequiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1,minimum-scale=1,maximum-scale=1.00001,viewport-fit=cover" /><title>patient-portal</title><style>#root,body,html{width:100%;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;margin:0;padding:0;min-height:100%}#root{flex-shrink:0;flex-basis:auto;flex-grow:1;display:flex;flex:1}html{scroll-behavior:smooth;-webkit-text-size-adjust:100%;height:calc(100% + env(safe-area-inset-top))}body{display:flex;overflow-y:auto;overscroll-behavior-y:none;text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased;-moz-osx-font-smoothing:grayscale;-ms-overflow-style:scrollbar}</style><link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json"><link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/favicon-16.png"><link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/favicon-32.png"><link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"><meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"><meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"><meta name="apple-touch-fullscreen" content="yes"><meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-title" content="patient-portal"><meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black-translucent"><link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/pwa/apple-touch-icon/apple-touch-icon-180.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 320px) and (device-height: 568px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-640x1136.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 414px) and (device-height: 896px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-1242x2688.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 414px) and (device-height: 896px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-828x1792.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 375px) and (device-height: 812px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-1125x2436.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 414px) and (device-height: 736px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-1242x2208.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 375px) and (device-height: 667px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-750x1334.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 1024px) and (device-height: 1366px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-2048x2732.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 834px) and (device-height: 1194px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-1668x2388.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 834px) and (device-height: 1112px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-1668x2224.png"><link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="screen and (device-width: 768px) and (device-height: 1024px) and (-webkit-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (orientation: portrait)" href="/pwa/apple-touch-startup-image/apple-touch-startup-image-1536x2048.png"></head><body><noscript><form action="" style="background-color:#fff;position:fixed;top:0;left:0;right:0;bottom:0;z-index:9999"><div style="font-size:18px;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:24px;margin:10%;width:80%"><p>Oh no!

Oh, and I unfortunately barely survive on a disability check that is less than Biden gives to illegal aliens. Since I've always been a fighter for the underdog though, once you get things settled, and if you feel like it, give us a notice of how we can help donate to the cause. I might only be able to sling 20 bucks your way, but that's better than nothing...I hope, heh.

But with seamonkey, the bottom is blank

I don't see that much in Basilisk. The top of the page appears, but no panel on the left. The rest of the page is blank except for a spinning circle, as if it is trying to load something. Often I don't even see the spinning circle.

Pale Moon 29.4.6 has been released. This is a bugfix and security update.

https://www.palemoon.org/

Installed, but doesn't support any of the older plugins/extensions supported by Basilisk and, I thought, the recent versions of Pale Moon. Maybe only version 30+ supports the older plugins?
