So I tried Mint 173 cinnamon 32 bit and Mint 181 cinnamon 64 bit, used LC 8 and LC 9, in Virtualbox on Mac and on a 64 bit Linux box. Both show with the browser widget the "something"-window that Richmond described and LC is to be 'killed' after trying to use the widget. Now launching from Terminal with Panos' advice ( LC_ALL= LC_NUMERIC=C "path/to/livecode_executable" ) brings up a widget, yes. But this works sadly only "halfway": No context-menu, not even for navigation, no connection to localhost possible, limited HTML5 support (some files don't work which work in Win and Mac without any problem). Is the widget not a 'modern browser' in linux? Or is the installation of special lib-files required to have it fully working? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Just tried it, and surprisingly enough, the browser widget works for me in 9.0-dp6. Nobody is more surprised than I am.

Re: Working browser widget/linux-flavour combinations?
Hi all, The Browser widget does work as expected in the *64-bit* Linux versions we officially support. I have an Ubuntu 16.04 VM and I can confirm this. **However**, several users have reported some strange problems on particular Linux distros (including Ubuntu 16.04), which although they seem unrelated to each other, they are actually related. One of those problems is the "something" dialog. Another problem is the non-functional Dictionary (note that the Dictionary uses the Browser widget). The common factor of all those problems seems to be locale-related. If you see those problems, the workaround is to launch LC from the terminal using this command: LC_ALL= LC_NUMERIC=C "path/to/livecode_executable" For anyone interested, see bug http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16848 and all the bugs that are mentioned there.

Re: Working browser widget/linux-flavour combinations?
However "showcase" the browser widget may be you should remember that, as far as I can see, Linux versions come a long way down the food chain. Richmond.

Re: Working browser widget/linux-flavour combinations?
Thanks Richmond. There are bug reports from Sept 2016 reporting this 'something'-answer you describe above. I tested with Mint 173 to latest, 32bit. Always had to kill LC 8/9 after the the something-dialog, exactly as reported to LQCC (#17715 and links there).

Re: Working browser widget/linux-flavour combinations?
Never tried it; so have just done: Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit, 8.1.3: "something" Had to KILL Livecode. As above, 9.0.0 DP-6: no obvious difference. Tut, tut, tut. sincerely, Richmond.
