[opensuse] seamonkey browser and google.com site loading delayed
Hello: I installed mozilla seamonkey 2.49.5 (64-bit) on openSUSE Leap 42.2. When I try to access https://www.google.com site, it takes ~90 seconds for the browser to load the site. This consequently occurs every time after a browser restart. It occurs to a fresh seamonkey profile too, and it occours only to seamonkey. Firefox loads the site immediately. I tried to search for it but couldn't find anything. Any idea on what causes the error and how to solve it is welcome! Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Hi,
mozilla seamonkey 2.49.5 (64-bit) on openSUSE Leap 42.2.
Quoting [1]: "The following distributions have reached their end of life and should not be used: […] - openSUSE Leap 42.2 - Jan 26th 2018 […]" So please don't use openSUSE versions that are out of support for a very long time now. Almost two years is way too much for delaying a dist-upgrade! Regards, vinz. [1] https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime#Discontinued_distributions

I have no such problem. Try in in about:config switching general.useragent.compatMode.firefox to false. If that doesn't work, try adding Mozilla/52.0 for general.useragent.override.google.com Whether or not this works, upgrade to 15.1. 42.2, 42.3 and 15.0 are all security risks, out of support.

fwiw: I still have a machine with 42.2 and no such problem with seamonkey. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

42.2, 42.3 & 15.0 are OS releases. You can't get those from Mozilla.org directly or otherwise. ;-) -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Ooh.. Point taken... But 42.2, 42.3 & 15.0 OS releases don't come in ESR either :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Oh but they did. They simply lacked that labeling. They were not obsoleted at 4 to 8 week intervals: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I have 15.1 installed on another computer and I like it. Works nicely. This computer however needs Adobe Reader (acroread) that I could not make work on 15.1 Actually acroread runs OK but it cannot see the cups printers. See my thread on the issue: adobe reader 9.5 in Leap 15.1 https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2019-11/msg00332.html It seems that libcups.so.2 from previous openSUSE versions with cups 1.7.5 doesn't work with cups 2.2.7 in Leap 15.1, at least that's what I guess.

Why do you want to run Adobe Reader? There are maintained alternatives around (evince, okular, ...). thal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

None of which cover all the features that Adobe did. None supports forms with javascript, or cryptographic signature checking, for instance. Some document using forms render wrong. I am forced to use Foxit for some of them, or acrobat in a virtual machine with 42.3, or in Windows. And this has been known for ages. :-/ - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

FWIW, even though skipping versions is "not supported" for upgrades, I find it works very well if optional repos are disabled or removed prior to doing zypper dup. They can be reenabled or re-added easily enough after the distribution proper has succeeded. Most recently I went straight from 13.2 to 15.2, but 42.2 to 15.1 is among others I have done. Of course, it's also possible to go from 42.2 to 42.3 to 15.0 to 15.1 via zypper, or even offline via a burned .iso. ;-) -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

Was not supported. It is tested in QA, so it is supported. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Thank you all for your responses. After a computer and home router reboot the problem has disappeared. I tend to believe that it was a system issue, because the 90 seconds delay/waiting period is typical to system services. Anyway, it is working now. Still interested what possibly blocked/delayed connection. Thanks again, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
