    1. Chromium browser: "pages unresponsive". 2. Konqueror: "failed authenticty check"

    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.)

    Greetings, John!

    I would suggest that you open a terminal and issue
    Code:
    chromium
    The 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.

    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.
    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
    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.

    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?
