thanks fredx181,
i still had the midori 11.4.3 tar.bz2
in my downloads folder. extracted
it into /opt. then extracted 'distribution'
into the fresh midori folder. starts &
restarts without a problem.
cheers, mm

hello all,
it looks like midori 11.4.3
has updated itself to 11.5.x
it ran well but now won't start.
there is a lot of entries in the
update log
can it be rolled back to 11.4.3.
fortunately, balisk is working.
cheers, mm

mmmrr

hi muggins,
thanks for the tip about basilisk.
it has passed first hurdle: opening
the midori 11.4.3 asset list so i can
d/l the 32 bit version.

both seamonkey and light paused
with spinning wheels at the asset link.

question: how does an Appimage work?
an item on the midori asset list was one ...

hi all,
running jammypup32.
downloaded midori [.tar.bz2 de 32bits]
did not see checksum.

unpacked into myapplications.
clicked on midori folder there.
clicked on cog midori, nothing.
clicked on cog midori-bin, nothing.

tried unpacking to /root/desktop

it was easy for me to forget
that booting bionic64 onto a
linux file system a good thing,

it was also to see if it made a
difference to the super slow
portable browsers.

it did not: portable palemoon,
seamonkey, googlechrome all
are useless, i'm deleting them.

will try fresh others if needed ...

100% amigo!

actually, 110%, because when i shut
down bionic64 -ram- i was offered a
save option. named it xxx-sda7, put
it in sda7. watched it load. then pow,
perfect recreation of previous bionic.
on ext3 instead of fat32. let's see
if those slow-poke, anchor-emulating
browsers get the ...

i just realized that my saying,
'please enlighten me' two posts ago
may have seemed sarcastic.

i am deeply in the dark as to why
the universal installer should say
'press enter to continue' then vanish,
so unlike the careful instructions up
to that point.

i really want enlightening ...

as described in my post,,,press enter to continue
...continue ???

happy to do so.

just booted to ram for bionic on sda1],

[hid the savefile. tried google chrome.
flashy opening could not do anything
except make cpu load lines. made it
go away. but palemoon leapt into tasks
while lots of load lines left over.]

to be clear.. i'm running universal ...

hi mikewalsh

download, checksum of yr portable chrome
went okay. when it opened a dozen lines in
cpu monitor appeared. behaved like an anchor.

i'm going to find mikeslr's remaster of bionic64
and make sure i put it on an ext partition.

mm

mmmrr

thanks mikewalsh

i have to check...
is it worth trying a chrome browser
on this existing bionic64 os?
usually i'd say have a go
but not when i'm feeling
this way. i'm making spelling
mistakes every line.
mm

mmmrr

thanks mikeslr

bionic 64 ran very well until a few
weeks ago when browser became
so slow. os tasks like text, image
editing, were speedy as usual.

so happy to try yr remaster.
where do i find it? in the bionic64
thread? after this inspection i'm
prepping for...mm
oh..'which glibc' in console ...

mmmrr

thanks amethyst

i'll take a look a bit later.
i'm doing a major cleanup,
ahead of a visit from the
property manager.

i've used instructions from
the forum about booting with
an iso. i'll refresh that info.

cheers, mm

mmmrr

apologies
my confusion seems to be
part of my life lately.

i'm ending this thread.
it's still unresolved
as far as v slow browsers
on bionic 64 are concerned.

maybe try another os

uncheers, mm

mmmrr

@amethyst, peebee

thanks,
i'll pursue a browser for jammy32
which plays audio out of the box.
i have not found a way to get alsa
to resolve the issue.

jammy32 was/is plan b if i could
not resolve slow browsers on
bionic64.

cheers, mm

edit..i just chose pale moon off the
''internet'' item from ...

mmmrr

experiment with jammy pup ended quickly:
light browser could not play youtube & i
could not get audio on seamonkey .

so i tried putting bionic64 on a freshly formatted
usb drive. i used gparted to copy my first install
attempt & paste it to the new usb. gparted found
and corrected 6 or 7 errors ...

hello mike walsh,

over the last couple of months
three different portables:
opera64;seamonkey64;palemoon64,

all have immediately piled up lines
in cpu load display and run so slowly
as to be unusable.

the os is bionic 64. its own operations,
such as typing or ...

mmmrr

thanks, mikeslr.

if not you correct pronto.
maybe it will help another.
thanks again, mm
