Updates / Re: Latest Updates disables video in You Tube in Chrome

Hi Steve


I'm happy for you to merge my 2 threads as you  have suggested and unmarking SOLVED. As I am not the only one experiencing this issue, one can only hope that it is related in some way to one of the 2 updates issued yesterday and that a further update will be issued to correct the problem.


Apologies for not being entirely accurate on this point in my earlier post. You are correct that Firefox was the browser packaged with LL5 series however, Chrome was included in "Lite Software" options (in place of Chromium which had been the option in LL3 series that I had used previously)  and I installed it from there.

Thank you.
 
One suggestion would have been to get the system to boot the previous kernel (if available) to see if the older kernel worked with new chrome.
But I can't see 5.15.0.100 listed. Do you routinely remove old kernels ?
Do you have any recent restore points made with System Restore Utility (aka timeshift) for rollback testing ?

Thank you, I was struggling to think how Lite Tweaks could be causing the symptom.
If you are certain that Lite Tweaks is not contributing, I'll look at merging your two threads and unmarking SOLVED. With your permission, I'll try to tidy up the coding and size tagging on your posts.

One thing still confusing me.

Chrome was installed by default when I installed LL
Are you sure about this ?  I'm really curious because as far as I am aware, Firefox was the browser packaged with all Linux Lite versions from 1.0.0 to 5.8.  Chrome was selected and packaged into Linux Lite from version 6.0 onwards so I think a 5.8 system must have had chrome added by some method.

Edit - two similar threads merged and posts edited for readability and topic consistency.

Hi Steve


Below I have listed the information you requested HOWEVER, you should know that this morning You Tube, Vimeo etc are once again showing a white video screen on Chrome Browser (but work fine on Firefox) so my ascertation that Lite Tweaks is causing the problem may very well be false - especially considering this mornings findings and the similar issue raised by FunkAndCode in their post.

Are *all* the 5.8 Lite Tweaks graded as 'Safe' really selected  - YES, with the exception of "Taskbar Restore" as I wish to preserve my personalised taskbar.
My method for using Light Tweaks is as follows :-
1)  Open LT
2)  Highlight the  "Grade" Column and sort so all caution rows are listed at the top with all safe options listed below.
3)  Tick in every "Safe" option with the exception of "Taskbar Restore"
4)  Begin
5)  Repeat steps 2-5 until everything clear

I hope this helps

Edit - to remove spurious font changes

Updates / Re: Latest update disabled the video display on chrome related browsers
« Last post by stevef on March 21, 2024, 05:15:12 AM »
There have been updates to both Linux kernel and Chrome on 18th/19th which doesn't help establish what is happening, but a recently updated Chrome installation (Version 123.0.6312.58 (official Build) (64-bit)) without any additional extensions on LL6.6 is playing Youtube video as expected for me.

Can you confirm

1) The results of these commands
Code: [Select]
inxi
Code: [Select]
cat /etc/llver
Code: [Select]
inxi -GA -xxx
Code: [Select]
inxi -r
Code: [Select]
google-chrome --version
Code: [Select]
find /boot/vmli*
2) Any extensions you have for chrome - open 'chrome://system' in the brower and expand the 'extensions' list

There have been updates to both Linux kernel and Chrome on or around 18th/19th March which doesn't help.

In order to try to replicate can you confirm

1) What method was used to install chrome on LL5.8 ?

2) The results of these commands
Code: [Select]
cat /etc/llver
Code: [Select]
inxi
Code: [Select]
inxi -GA -xxx
Code: [Select]
inxi -r
Code: [Select]
find /boot/vmli*
Code: [Select]
google-chrome --version
3) Any extensions you have for chrome - open 'chrome://system' in the brower and expand the 'extensions' list

4) Are *all* the 5.8 Lite Tweaks graded as 'Safe' really selected and run every time as described, if not please tell us which ones you use.

Updates / [ SOLVED ] Latest update disabled the video display on chrome related browsers
« Last post by FunkAndCode on March 21, 2024, 02:09:27 AM »
Hi everyone,

I'm just reporting that the last update introduced a little :banghead bug  :60:

I no longer have the video display on Youtube, Dailymotion etc with Brave browser, same with Google chrome.
But it still works fine on Firefox. I saw a similar topic but it's not related to tweaks for me (since I didn't use it)
Audio still works fine, images too it's only the video display that is fully white.

I hope it will be fixed soon, anyway have a good day all  :wave

Network / Config w/multiple Wifi adapters?
« Last post by kramyugtaht on March 20, 2024, 11:48:15 PM »
I tried LXLE (looking for a LTS based distro) and there was not an easy/easily found way to choose my USB wifi adapter which has better range and which I also want to test for use with a laptop that I hope to use a light distro for. I have a Qualcomm Atheros in my Dell desktop (168c:0032) and a Realtek based USB adapter, 8812BU (0BDA:B812) - when I type in inxi-N it showed the Qualcomm as up and Realtek as down, but I couldn't find CLI instructions on how to enable the Realtek USB adapter even if it recognizes it's there and has a corresponding driver. My understanding is it's now supported through the kernel right? I had another USB adapter which was recognized but I think it was in down status as well and it just defaults to the Qualcomm.

If I use Linux Lite, which I am guessing may be better supported anyway is there built-in tools that can make this easy? Or can I install a GUI network manager of some kind to make the Realtek adapter work?
