2009-06-22 11:16:23 Harald Sitter summary QT Browser Plugins make the browser unresponsive Qt Browser Plugins make the browser unresponsive
2009-06-22 11:16:23 Harald Sitter description QT provides a solution for implementing browser plugins for web browsers which support the Netscape LiveConnect API. However the simple 'Hello World' example fails to run on Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04. It simply hangs in both Firefox and Epiphany making the browser unresponsive. Looking at the same code compiled and running on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), Fedora 9 and Debian Lenny works. Therefore I believe it is Ubuntu specific problem introduced between 8.04 and 8.10. The QT site on the plugin is http://www.qtsoftware.com/products/appdev/add-on-products/catalog/4/Utilities/qtbrowserplugin To test you need to download, build and install the open source version of the plugin. The install path for Firefox is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ Once installed, visiting the example page http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/4/qtbrowserplugin/qtbrowserplugin-example-trivial.html will show the bug.
