Hi,

I messed up a bit with the 4.0/ and cooking/ mirrors, and I think some libs are inconsistent: Midori (0.4.6) crashes whenever I try to open a PDF. I get the popup window, but it crashes as soon as I click any button (even Cancel).

So I thought I might as well upgrade everything to cooking, if it is not too unstable. So how stable would you say cooking is? I won't be updating packages constantly, maybe would it help?

Thanks.

Midori is not compiled to open pdf files.
This is what should happen:
Open midori,File,Open,Open file,navigate to pdf on hard drive,hit Open button,box opens with buttons for save,save as,open,cancel
I choose open button,epdfview auto opens and displays the pdf.
Open pdf files with Applications/Office/ePDFView PDF Viewer
You can't upgrade from SliTaz-4.0 to cooking.
If you can get cooking to boot to the desktop it's stable.
Burn it to a live cd and try it.
Download http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/rolling/slitaz-rolling.iso
Use the bootcode sound=noconf if it halts at searching for soundcard window.

Same in Slitaz-4.0 with local pdf, there are problems with mime association or other breakage in liev's install.

Let's experiment. I've googled for pdf file. Here it is:
http://www.linux-magazine.com/content/download/62192/484164/file/SliTaz_Review.pdf
No problem to save it, then click on 'Open' icon on bottom panel and it's opens. No crash!
But can't open directly (from [Save] [Save as] [Open] [Cancel] dialog).

Ok, now I want to view server's headers. Please, wait ;)

tux@slitaz:~$ curl -I http://www.linux-magazine.com/content/download/62192/48416

Maybe last line with correct Content-Type couse Midori not crash?
Ok, let's search for link to pdf file with incorrect Content-Type or any other binary file with some 'crashy' Content-Type.

I'm on 4.0, and I have frugal installation.
When I press [Open], I've got message that I can badly translate from Russian to English:

Not enough room to download "/tmp/midori-tux/SliTaz_Review.pdf".

File wants 378,7 kB, but 0 B is available.

If I remember correctly, here is no one file I can open directly.

Let's go to /tmp/midori-tux using PCManFM. In bottom panel I can see that I have 0 Bytes free, but I can create empty text file here, and can populate it with letters.

While all my SliTaz is in RAM, I have free space (like PCManFM and friends think) only on /home and other /media. Nevermind.

Oh, I forgot to say that in the past I've found many links for download that crashes Midori.
Click on link, popup dialog [Save] [Save As] etc...
Click on [Save As], popup file chooser to choose where to save the file.
Choose folder, click to [Open] to close popup and...
Midori disappeared!
No helpful information when run it in terminal:
$ midori
or even as:
$ strace midori

But, in the present, I can't find any of these public link!
So, I ask anybody, please be so kind to share any "broken" link with me! The more, the better!
I want to see server headers.

To be more precise, if I open this page: http://www.vianavigo.com/fr/horaires-plans-de-lignes/buscar/?selectedLineExternalCode=100100393:393&sens=1&companyorNetworkName=RATP&lineCodeOrName=393&date=01%2F03%2F2013
then click on the "Plan de ligne" link, which points to http://www.ratp.fr/informer/pdf/stif/stif.php?ligne=100100393:393&fiche=plan , I eventually get the popup for Save/Save As/Cancel... and Midori crashes as soon as I click *any* of these (even "Cancel").

What can I do to investigate the crash? (I hope I can repair without reinstalling the whole system.)

@llev
the midori-0.4.6 is buggy. i had the same probs.
to download files, i had to click with the right button onto the relevated link and had to open the page in new tab. after that i was able to download the files.

i upgraded my midori to 0.4.8 and everything went fine.

try to download and install:
http://www.freefilehosting.net/midori-048

or the version includig flash:
https://hotfile.com/dl/194554998/42b628e/midori-0.4.8flash.tazpkg.html

hopefully it works for you too ;-)
