Salix Forums

I am having problems with Google Chrome certificates. I can't sync to install my bookmarks and while visiting the google chrom extensions website, I got another message regarding the certificates. What might be the problem??????

thanks.

Do you have Firefox installed?

Firefox is the defacto browser in Silux and it works perfect. I think there is problem with the Google browser, maybe is not communicating very well with the kernel. Also, I installed the Opera browser and Flash did not work out of the box. And...acidrip did not work at all....I am working on this one because I had the same problem with Zenwalk.

Flash: http://salixos.org/wiki/index.php/Flash ... _or_midori

Acidrip: Was not updated since 2004 and as far as I remember it needs a bunch of perl dependencies. There are modern tools that could do this task, e.g. Handbrake.

Chromium: I've asked because Firefox is a dependency for these repackaged Chromium packages. It may use Firefox' NSS: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ Or perhaps you need the seamonkey-solibs.

I think that there is a problem also with nss. I haven't looked at it yet but I will. I love Chrome...It would make
Salix a super light distro....I think Abiword should be the defacto word processor....my .02 cents.

thanks....

Abiword: Users often need a complete office suite. This is why we have OO. BTW: I've heard a lot good stuff about Softmaker office, but did not test it myself.

Chromium: I want to correct you: Chromium starts fast and renders fast, but it's not lightweight in any way. It eats my RAM at least as much as Firefox or Opera do.

Now that you are bringing this up....I play Poker on Facebook and my computer was using about 750 megs yesterday which caught my attention. When I was running Mint it went up to 450 megs max....why???? memory leak somewhere????????????

I would offer light apps in Salix and it would be up to the user to install heavy apps if desire. Have you tried Aurora browser???

Haaaaveeee youuuu a problemmmm withhh yourrr keyyyyboaaaarddd ????

Yes, I've tried Arora and Midori, too. Result: Every modern browser uses a lot of RAM.

To see the top memory consuming processes type:
ps aux | head -1; ps aux | sort -rn +3 | head

Note that chromium uses many processes and every process uses memory.

I don't mind if Chrome is a memory hugger too as long as my browser doesn't crash. I hate when my browser crashes specially during a bank transaction...nothing worse than this. ...and then the OS sinks too!
