Greetings, John!
I would suggest that you open a terminal and issueThe next step would be to try to open a webpage that gives you the error message you mentioned above. Maybe you will get some additional information in the terminal.Code:chromium
Hi. A new problem has just started in my Chromium browser for some reason.
I use Knoppix 7.0.2 on hard drive on Acer Aspire 5750 laptop.
When trying to visit a site, the rotating circle keeps rotating (in the
tab), then a Chromium message appears
"Following pages have become unresponsive. You can wait for them to become
responsive or kill them. Kill pages -OR- Wait". And a box shows the basic
website that you were trying to access.
Pressing "Wait" returns you to the ever rotating circle. Pressing "Kill pages"
produces a message "He's dead, Jim!".
The problem started shortly after I got wifi working. But Chromium WAS working
Ok for a while after I'd got wifi working. The problem occurs whether I'm using
wifi or an Ethernet cable.
When using Ethernet cable, I make sure that wifi is switched off (ie orange LED
is off by pressing Fn+F3 keys).
Is there any connection between the problem and me installing wifi in the
kernel? Why has Chromium just started exhibiting this prob?
As a temporary get-round, I tried Konqueror browser. It works but has a
separate problem of its own. Every time you visit a new site, you get the
message
"Server failed the authenticity check. The certificate is not signed by any
trusted certificate authority". But when you click on "Details", under
"Trusted?", it says "Yes".
I'd be most grateful for a solution to both problems, but if you have an answer
just to Chromium, that would be fine. Thanks.
(Unfortunately I'm finding that having Knoppix is like having a car, but every
journey I take, I'm having to get out and mend something in the engine.)

Hi klaus2008
You're very clever.
I issued "Chromium" at terminal. It starts at my home page which is
www.google.com/webhp?complete=0
(I use this URL all the time. It simply takes you to google, but you don't get
the annoying drop-down selection list as you type your search string.)
Back to the plot. The cursor didn't automatically sit in search box as it
normally does. I chose not to enter a search string, and just waited. After
about a minute, the following message appeared:
"Following pages have become unresponsive. You can wait for them to become
responsive or kill them. Kill pages -OR- Wait".
I clicked "Kill pages", then message/page "He's dead, Jim!" appears.
So i exited Chromium, which returned me to terminal. I got the following output:
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ chromium

I don't understand the output of course because I'm VERY new to Linux.
(As a side point, does some of the output suggest that google is doing some kind
of clandestine downloading?
You see, i've transferred from Microsoft Windows to Linux because i don't like
the fact that Windows software downloads and uploads information to/from my
hard-drive as and when it feels like it (whenever i'm connected to the
internet).)
I can tell that you're quite an expert. Is there anything in the above output
that tells you what's causing my "unresponsive pages" problem?
WHAT'S ODD TO ME is that I don't recall doing anything in Chromium or Knoppix
that may have caused this Chromium problem to start. Having said that, while i
was carrying out your fine instructions to get wifi to work, i did accidentally
REPEAT one of the terminal commands you gave me. So i don't know if that has
done something dodgey.
Many thanks for your kind help with this. John.
The information the Chromium browser provided in the terminal does not seem to be sufficient to reproduce the error on your system. The SWF file shows a blue area in the web browser.
There are users reporting on a similar error concerning older versions of the Chromium browser.
Usually I would suggest that you upgrade some packages, but this could be difficult because you have already installed new software packages. On a fresh install of Knoppix 7.0.2 DVD I would issue the following commands. Some of these commands a intended to avoid the removal of base packages you might need in the future.
I hope this will help to improve your system. I do not expect that it will be worse since you cannot use the Chromium browser at the moment.Code:sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libnss3 sudo apt-get install gnome-orca sudo apt-get install grdesktop sudo apt-get install gnome-dictionary sudo apt-get install chromium sudo apt-get install iceweasel sudo apt-get install libprotobuf7
Thanks klaus2008 for #4. For some reason, Chromium does work some of the
time, so for now I'll hold off issuing your kind apt-get commands at #4.
In the meantime, can you think of a solution to my problem with Konqueror at
#1? John.
Do you have a web page I could try out with Konqueror?
