General :: Epiphany Browser 2.30 Is Noticably Faster Than 2.28?
Dec 15, 2010
I'm using Linux Mint 8. However, internet browser speed is very slow as compared to using the same computer with Windows. In Linux, I've used Firefox 3.5 and Epiphany 2.28. Epiphany runs somewhat faster than Firefox so I mainly use it for the internet.
What I would like to know is if Epiphany browser 2.30 is noticably faster than 2.28? Should I go thru the trouble of upgrading to Mint 9 inorder to be able to use Epiphany 2.3 - as well as Chromium 8?
Is Epiphany the only browser for Gnome supporting password storage in keyring?Firefox and Chromium both seem to store login credentials in own storage thus limiting interoperability.
This problem one day popped out of nowhere in my ubuntu 9.04 firefox browser that I could not submit my reply on any forums. So I changed my browser to epiphany and then to opera but all failed then I installed arora and it worked. I don't know what is the problem with other browsers I just cannot submit a reply on any forums.
The Adbock extension completely wipes out Yahoo! homepage. I think that is a little over aggresive ad blocking. Does anybody know what whitelist rule that would ?
Hi all, i used synaptic to uninstall epiphany and it also removed gnome-destop along with it, resulting in me having to reinstall(AGAIN!) Ofcourse my intention was to uninstall epiphany and _not_ gnome, so is there a way to take epiphany off of my system with out affecting gnome?
I just moved to Fedora 11 from Ubuntu and I am very happy, not even thinking to go back to Ubuntu (because of gma500 driver support). How can I clean up Fedora? On Ubuntu I could go to Synaptics, remove Installed (not residetial) packages, I coud use terminal sudo autoremove, autoclean, clean. On Fedora I found out only one so far: yum clean all. Is there anything else I should now, can you share with me how you are cleaning up your Fedora? Second thing, which is not only related to Fedora, is there any chance to make Epiphany remeber tabs after I close the browser and open it again? Don't really want to use any other browser.
Has anyone noticed an increase in runtime for sort? I'm having to sort large, 30+ GB text files, and I've noticed a substantial increase in the time needed to sort files in 11.4. Files that take maybe two hours to sort under previous conditions now take multiple hours.
I have an old laptop (PIII 800MHz, with 256 RAM) that I wish to use as my home server: it'll have to serve just two people, so I think that I'll be more than ok as for the RAM and the CPU.The issue is about data, because the internal hard disk is a 12GB, that is...ridicolous! I have more than 60GB of mixed storage and counting (images, videos and music) in an external usb hd. I could put the hd in my desktop pc just to serve the big files through ethernet or let it inside its usb box attached to the laptop.
The question is: which of these solutions will be the fastest? USB 1.0 attached to the server (laptop) or internal hard disk serving files via 10/100 ethernet to the laptop on demand?what about your experience? Is the difference based on a human notable scale?
Why is it faster to have more primary partitions when using Linux? Please give some real examples; I know some theoretical reasons but I don't understand them well.
I often have to transfer huge data over our LAN from one computer to another. The size of the files varies and can be somewhere from 2 GB to 50GB or more! The only accepted connection protocol between machines are ssh; and rsync and scp are the only options available for copying over network (unison is not installed). I usually use rsync with "-z" option to copy over network. if "rsync -z" is faster than "scp" for data transfer?
I have a 4 * 1.5TB RAID5 disk array (software linux RAID, formatted with jfs) on my Fedora 12 system and want to expand it by adding another 1.5TB disk. I have added a drive to the system and conducted a simple performance check on it to make sure it was functioning properly:
Code:
# dd if=/tmp/bigfile.dat of=/dev/sdg1 5478774+1 records in 5478774+1 records out 2805132609 bytes (2.8 GB) copied, 168.77 s, 16.6 MB/s
But 16.6 MB/s is lousy. I ran an iostat -dmx 2 on this drive at the time of this lousy performance, and typical output was:
(note that sda and sdb are a linux raid mirror set for the / filesystem that holds /tmp). I formatted the new drive (/dev/sdg1) with jfs and mounted it under /mnt2:
Code:
# jfs_mkfs /dev/sdg1 jfs_mkfs version 1.1.13, 17-Jul-2008 Warning! All data on device /dev/sdg1 will be lost! Continue? (Y/N) y
[code].....
I would like to know what the performance will be like before I add the disk to the array because I don't want to wait for the whole array to be rebuilt before finding out my array is performing badly. The array is used as part of a mythtv system and has up to 6 simultaneous recordings running on it, so it needs to perform well.
I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster.So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case?EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search.
I am using Red Hat Linux enterpriser 4 using two physical LAN cards.There are two different ISP internet lines coming into a single gateway computer. Is it possible that if in our one network we are using 2 MB bandwidth and from another network we are getting 2 MB bandwidth.(Two different Networks) and combine it into 4 MB. In bonding it combine the bandwidth or it do loadbalancing ?
The question is can we accumulate or add these two bandwidth in Linux machine and it sent total bandwidth 4 to the end users ?

Normally, I use Opera and never have these problems, but in FireFox and Epiphany, I cannot see most of the text unless I select it.
Here is an example: [url] [url]
I tried plying around with Preferences/Appearances but everything seems to be ok there. Also, if in FireFox I choose 'Use System colours' everything looks ghastly.
I have moonlight installed through the regular repository and know it works as a plugin in Firefox, but I prefer using Epiphany. How can I get Moonlight to work in Epiphany? Using the regular Webkit version of Epiphany on Lucid Beta.
I am using debian 6.0.0 Initially in firefox I used an addon imglikeopera. Its 0.6.18 worked for my iceweasel 3.5.16. Actually my internet speed is not high so I disable images by default & if need arises for any tab then images can be turned on . (opera has this functionality by default). What can I do for epiphany 2.30.6?
I have been using Epiphany for about 10 days now. It seems that suddenly my search engine was changed from Google to VirginMedia.I cannot find any option to set the default search engine, either in Epiphany preferences or in gconf-editor.Can anyone explain how this change has occurred or how I might get back to having Google as my default search engine? I am using Debian Lenny 5 and Epiphany 2.22.3
I used the Synaptic Package manager to successfully install Epiphany and Nautilus extensions. I restarted but the Epiphany extensions do not appear in the Tools/Extensions list and the Nautilus extensions do not appear in any of the commands.
how to import my FF 3.6.3 bookmarks into Epiphany 2.22.1.1 ? I tried the "Import from Firefox" feature but it doesn`t seem to work. Then I tried to import the FF bookmarks.html but Epiphany doesn`t recognize that one either.
When I open up epiphany, it prompts me to either recover or don't recover my session. No matter what the decision, it outputs a segmentation fault. I can load it with a -p switch, as well as loading it as sudo (just to test) so I'm kind of thinking if i can re set the session to default, then I will be able to get around it?
I haven't been able to test this though because I cant find where the config files for epiphany are! It doesn't output anything useful other than segmentation fault. As for openshot, I JUST installed it, and it installed with no errors, but when I try and run it, this is the output
Code: OpenShot (version 1.1.3) Process no longer exists: 27456. Creating new pid lock file. A new frmMain has been created Segmentation fault
I have been trying out several newcomer browsers (using webkit) as alternatives to Firefox, which seems increasingly slow to me.Midori and Arora both allow the back button of my mouse to work, as does Firefox.However, Epiphany, which would be my first choice, does not, and I can't find any way whatsoever of configuring it to do so.I can't see why such a 'flagship' app should lack such an essential feature.
How do I set up rc6 or whatever, so that I get a clean shutdown forFireFox and Epiphany?ireFox is started by my session manager and I often use Epiphany -b asa specialized bookmark editor on my panel. Whenever I login to start anew session FireFox and Epiphany gives a standard warning/option ofrestoring my previous session want to eliminate those warnings without having to specifically close those programs before logging out.Regards BilFedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3Evo.2.24.5, Emacs 22.3.1
I have this problem with some pages here on LQ. They just scroll way out to the right (see attached screenshot, notice the horizontal scrollbar). I have no problem browsing them with empathy epiphany, so I guess it must some setting that I am missing. Also, symbols like smilies appear very pixelated.
Most Webkit browsers by default use full page zoom, or if they use text only zoom by default, full page zoom is an available menu option. Epiphany, has text only zoom, but I can't find any option for full page zoom. How do I get full page zoom in Epiphany?
I have discovered that epiphany cannot be launched. When I try, either from the gnome desktop or from a terminal, I get a box which reports that epiphany has terminated unexpectedly, and would I like to recover the last session. If I click on either from the desktop, nothing happens. Doing it from a terminal, I get the following:
