So you are saying that I need to *downgrade* to a higher numbered version of openSUSE in order to be able to use a simple piece of s/ware such as speedtest?! Basil, you only need a browser with [rd]ecent support for HTML5 to use the beta version. I ran that speedtest thingie in an elderly chrome I happened to find on my laptop. My 13.2 installation of openSUSE has the latest version of Firefox (45.0) installed together with the latest Flash Player installed *AND* it can also has the ability to "see" videos in HTML5 (this latter I use to view all YouTube videos).
But, until recently when this was mentioned by James, I am unable to use Speedtest from speedtest.net. Okay, so FF45 has an issue with http://beta.speedtest.net on your hardware - I'll have to check if it works for me. Maybe you could try chrome instead. Leap421 with FF44.0.2 - works. 13.1 with FF44.0.2 - works. 13.2 with FF42 - works.
The download/upload speeds reported vary a lot though, factor 7-8. Leap421 had much higher rates than 13.x. I don't care, but maybe speedtest would.
In which way does it not work for you, Basil? Maybe it can't find a suitable test-server for avian connections? :-)
When I go to the speedtest site I get a typical YouTube screen when a video is selected but won't play: a smallish yellow coloured screen with a big "Z" in the top left hand corner and a small "f" in a circle in the middle of the screen and if one clicks on either one the whole thing goes *full* screen -- and that's it. Except that if one then tries to exit this mess Firefox shuts down.
Try going to the HTML5 site instead: http://beta.speedtest.net -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
