Hi!

This sounds like an exception in libvoikko not in Epiphany. Epiphany is
not even linked with libvoikko so the problem may be in webkit,
webkitgtk or even in enchant.

Cheers

epiphany throws an exception at startup

Francis Moreau — 2012-04-16T18:08:56

Hello,

I'm getting a exception when starting epiphany.

Here's the trace:

GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings
will not be saved or shared with other applications.
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'libvoikko::setup::DictionaryException'
terminate called recursively

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Could anybody tell me what could be wrong ?

Thanks

gnome 3.4 smooth scrolling

2012-05-01T20:19:44

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to Gnome 3.4 and I'm pleased to see the improvements of epiphany.
Gnome's smooth scrolling is awesome on gedit and nautilus, but it seems to be missing on this web browser.
Is there anything planned about this?

Cheers,
Clément Guérin

Re: Adblock broken after 3.4 upgrade

Xan Lopez — 2012-05-01T20:17:25

There's a completely new adblock extension in 3.4, but you need to
install epiphany-extensions 3.4 to get it. Are you using this?

Is there a reason why a Chromium license was imported into the repo 3 years

GSOC Introduction

William Ting — 2012-05-01T06:56:33

Hi everybody!

I was lucky enough to be selected by GNOME to work on Epiphany for Google
Summer of Code this year. I'm responsible for implementing browser
synchronization and look forward to working with you guys over the next few
months. :)

I've posted a project page here:

    http://wting.github.com/epiphany/

Feel free to comment on any items within Wiki or Trello. I will be working
on feature branches and pushing to my copy of Epiphany on GitHub, before
submitting patches to the team when I have a section finished.

I've provided some preliminary mockups of the planned interfaces:

    https://github.com/wting/epiphany/wiki/User-Interface

I look forward to any comments or suggestions.

Cheers,

William Ting

Adblock broken after 3.4 upgrade

David Thomson — 2012-05-01T03:13:09

Hi all

I have recently upgraded epiphany (and the rest of gnome) to 3.4 on my Arch
setup.

The new epiphany is great but the adblock extension has stopped working...
any ideas?

It been a long time since I've used the internet without an adblocker I
didn't realise how many annoying ads there are!!!

cheers

Re: Epiphany crashes reliably

Carson Chittom — 2012-04-28T12:40:23


Sorry, I'm no longer using Epiphany (or even GNOME).  There were just
too many gotchas and segfaults--granted I was using an older version on
a non-Linux OS.

Re: Epiphany crashes reliably

Xan Lopez — 2012-04-28T10:27:15

Hi, and sorry for the late reply,

the error seems indeed to come from libsoup, but getting a trace would
still be useful. Also, the version you are using is pretty old
already, so using 3.4.1 would be recommended. It's quite possible that
the bug has been fixed since.

Re: GSOC Conflict?

Xan Lopez — 2012-04-24T13:24:01

Hi William (and Yann, who I'm CCing)


Yeah, I was informed about this in case I thought it would be a
problem, and I answered that I think we could manage. We have two
options, as you suggest:

- We can have you both work on the Data Sync project, trying to either
have you both cooperate closely on the same tasks or split the work in
a way that allows you to work more or less independently.

- One of you can choose to work on the other idea we sent to SoC, a
security daemon to warn users about dangerous content. You can see the
proposal here, http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2012/Ideas, name is
"A service to prevent phishing attacks".

I think both are reasonably similar in terms of complexity and the
skills needed to develop them, so that should not be an issue. If
either one or you wants to do the security daemon and you can agree
about that I think we are settled (and we would deliver more features
in the end), otherwise if you both prefer to work on data sync we
could try to make the scope a bit more ambitious and have you both
work on it.

I can give you one day or so to talk among yourselves if you want.
Otherwise I'll meet with the rest of the Epiphany team and we'll
decide what to do.

Hope this sounds fine, looking forward to work with you!

Xan

GSOC Conflict?

William Ting — 2012-04-24T05:18:27

Hi,

I'm excited to be working on Epiphany in the next few months. However I
noticed in the accepted student proposal list there were two projects both
implementing Epiphany synchronization:

   - https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/wting/8001
   -
   https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/yann_soubeyrand/11001

Will Yann and I be working together on one project or developing our
projects individually? I'm fine with either prospect, but would like some
clarification.

gsoc proposal

calvin — 2012-04-06T15:42:15

Hi,
This is my proposal for the gsoc:

     What is your e-mail address and IRC nick?

Email: chenmingyang.ict< at >gmail.com

IRC nick: calvin

·     Do you have a web page, blog, or microblog?

Yes, this is my blog:http://blog.csdn.net/lishirui

·     What is your academic background?

I'm a graduate student in Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese
Academy of Sciences, China. My research interests focus on computer
graphics and computer architecture (especially the memory systems).

·     What is the ultimate goal of your proposal?

Append “data sync” feature to Epiphany:

    1.Make it possible for different instances of Epiphany and Firefox to
share user data.

    2.The data includes bookmarks, history,session state and cookies

·      What components/modules will the proposed or modify or create?

We will create a sync module for the client, which will store   user data
to the server and download it from the server.

·      What benefits does your proposed work have for GNOME and its
community?

My work will append “data sync” feature for Epiphany.

·      Why are you the right person to work on this project?

I have researched much on this project. I have read much on Mozilla’s sync
service. After some study on Epiphany’s code, I have understood the overall
structure and some critical classes. In addition, having developped several
related projects, I am familiar with C and GTK+.

·      How do you plan to achieve completion of your project?

           1. The structure of our project is as follows:

            Client:

· Store

· Translate data to Firefox’s format

·  Encrypt data

·  Send record to server

· Update

·  Retrieve record from server

·  Decrypt data

· Translate data to Epiphany’s format

Server:

                   Use the Firefox sync server.

2. Steps:

·  Find out sync mechanism and implementation details of the Firefox client.

·  Read documentation and code of Epiphany to learn about the data
structure of bookmark, history, session state and cookies. Find out
corresponding “get” and “set” methods.

·  Develop the sync module.

·  Integrate the sync module into Epiphany and do integration testing.

·  Fix bugs reported by users.

·     It really helps to see a schedule with dates and important
milestones/deliveries (preferably in two weeks increments).

Week 0 – Beginning 21st of May

 Read Mozilla’s sync service documentation [1]. Look through the code of
the client’s sync part. Discuss in the mail list about details of the sync
client and server.

Week 2 - Beginning 4th of June

Read the documentation and code of Epiphany. Learn about the implementation
of funtions. Find out data structure of bookmark, history, session state
and cookies. Keep discussing with mentor and developers.

Week 4 - Beginning 18th of June

Develop the translater which traslates Epiphany’s bookmark, history,
session state and cookies data to Firefox’s format. Connect the translater
and the sync module in Firefox to make an Epiphany’s syncer.

Week 6 - Beginning 2nd of July (Includes Mid-Term)

Design the UI and integrate syncer into Epiphany.

Week 8 - Beginning 16th of July

Test and fix bugs. Deliver, ask for feedbacks.

Week 10 - Beginning 30th of July

Modify according to feedbacks.

Week 12 - Beginning 13th of August

Documentation, any left over work.

·      What will showable at mid-term?

Two clients which can sync data with each other through Firefox sync
server. Because the UI is in development, data retrieved from server will
be printed just for demonstration.

·      What are your past experiences with the open source world as a user
and as a contributor?

I have been an open source software user for several years. I like to
spread open source softwares among my friends.

·      What other relevant projects have you worked on previously and what
knowledge you gained from working on them?

     I have finished the “Component-level Power Monitoring System” project
in my lab. The system uses a GTK+-based client to monitor the realtime
change of the power. I’m familiar with GTK+, C, and Linux programming.

ruby

Eike Dierks — 2012-04-08T01:07:31

Dear people at the epiphany list,

I'd like to suggest to bring ruby in the house.

Obviously a lot of discussion has been done about this topic,
wether we should bring this or that scripting language in here.

We have this very same topic on the freebsd list.

I want to opt for ruby
to make this a well known language within webkit

Because ruby rocks!
And I believe ruby1.9 to be somehow stable.


So let's work together,
to make ruby2 the common language
of webkit and freebsd.

Re: gsoc proposal

calvin — 2012-04-06T15:50:57

I'm looking forward to your comments.

Best regards,
calvin

Re: Some questions concerning GSoC 2012

Phitherek_ — 2012-04-03T16:36:23

Thank you for your help. I think that the Gnome 3.4 Live under VirtualBox
option will suit me best, because I do not build much from source, rather
from Arch repos, where all the programs have been also defaulted to Python
3, so the VirtualBox option is just safer for me.
I am still waiting for an answer to my 2 other questions, though. And I
still hope to get answer from you.

Re: Some questions concerning GSoC 2012

William Ting — 2012-04-03T12:14:48


ArchLinux defaults to Python 3. This causes a problem with older
Python programs since they link to the Python 3 interpreter when
they're expecting a Python 2 interpreter. Newer scripts should be
using `#!/usr/bin/env python2` (or python3) instead of `#!/usr/bin/env
python`.

Since pretty much all new Python 3 programs refer to the python3
interpreter explicitly, you can safely default your system back to
Python 2. In other words:

sudo rm -v /usr/bin/python
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python

This is a much easier alternative than modifying all build scripts to
use the Python 2 interpreter.

Some questions concerning GSoC 2012

Phitherek_ — 2012-04-02T22:25:42

Hello,
I am a student, who is considering taking part in Google Summer of Code
2012. I have chosen your organization as probably a future mentoring
organization. I have not submitted the proposal, as I want to ask you some
questions about your expectations. I am posting this on the epiphany list,
because the idea of Epiphany Sync interested me as the project I maybe
would like to work on. And as the #epiphany channel on IRC seems dead, I
decided to try with a mailing list, as I heard they are the most commonly
used tool to communicate in bigger open source project.
1. I want to know, what time would you expect me to spend on the project (I
mean kind of schedule). The problem is, that I have my exam period when the
first period of GSoC programming starts, and as I am on my first year of
studies, this period will be very hard and I will sure have to devote much
time for it. Is it possible for me to do less coding on the start and then,
after my exam period, do more? I know, that GSoC is supposed to be a
full-time job, but I am worried that I will not manage to deal with both my
studies and GSoC. Or maybe should I wait until next year? I would be
grateful if you could give me some advice on that.
2. The requirements say, that I should know C and GTK+/GLib. I have done
some programming in C++ and I have started C in my studies, I also created
some smaller programs using GTK+ 2 (and GLib in the amount I needed it to
do simple actions in my programs, so very little in fact). I do not know if
these skills are enough and I hope, that you will give me some clue on
that. Also, I would like to know in what fields I should look for some
knowledge and learn before start of coding (I mean e.g. network in C?
ciphering algorithms?). Or maybe I should choose what to learn and how I
want to do it?
3. In your GSoC info page you say, that I should fix some minor bug before
applying. I planned to try it, but I could not build Epiphany with JHBuild.
The main problem is, that I use Arch Linux, where since some time ago the
default version of Python is Python 3 (and this is "python"), and Python 2
is executed by "python2". The buildscripts are written in Python 2, but
they all have "python" and not "python2" in the #!. This is, however, kind
of easy to fix. I got stuck when I tried to build glib and I had to remove
more and more lines in the script to work - in the end that had not worked
anyway. It was something with "parser.py". Could you help me also with that?
Ok, I know, this is quite a lot and maybe not everything in the right
place, but this is my first time I am contacting a bigger Open Source
developer community (until now, I have only been using the software and,
sometimes, take part in user' s community, but that was all. I also created
some projects on my own but, obviously, these are small projects and do not
have the community (yet?)), so I am quite confused.
I hope that you will help me.
Greetings,

Re: jhbuild error

Adam Dingle — 2012-04-02T15:58:37

Sakshi,

what operating system version are you running?  Which module set (http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild/Modulesets) are you attempting to build?  Can you send the last lines of the build output that precede the error you're seeing?

Re: Preferred build environment? Development branch?

Adam Dingle — 2012-04-02T15:38:27

I think that's really up to you, and what's easiest will depend on what 
operating system version you're running.  If you run a leading-edge 
distro such as Fedora 17 (currently in alpha) or Ubuntu 12.04 (currently 
in beta), all the dependencies you need will be there already - you can 
simply pull the Epiphany sources and build.  If your operating system is 
one release older (e.g. Fedora 16 or Ubuntu 11.10), you'll probably need 
to build WebKit and possibly other libraries as well.  I personally find 
it much easier to run a new-ish operating system, where almost all 
dependencies are built for me, than to wrestle with jhbuild.
