Testing the Non-Official App for Lubuntu - Part 1

Hi,

Following up with this post, I got some free time to do some testing and here is my notes/feedback :)


1- Viewnior
If you open Viewnior without any image, it will use 12.6MB Resident Memory[1] and 3.5 Memory [2] - just a note :)

[1] - Resident Memory: the amount of physical memory that is allocated to the process.

[2] - Memory:  the amount of system memory that is currently being used by the process.

While I was trying to view an image and tried to set it as my wallpaper, the app failed to do this. I checked and found out that I need to do some simple steps so that Viewnior can set a wallpaper.

After that, hit Close and try to set the image you are viewing on Viewnior as a wallpaper and it should work after choosing "LXDE" :)



2- xombrero

See this bug

xombrero crashed after 1 minute on facebook!
vasa1 from Ubuntu Forum has confirmed the same to me - check the comment on my previous post.

This is what LXTerminal showed from starting xombrero until facebook opened and then the browser crashed:

WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /run/user/lubuntu/keyring-aTd8QF/pkcs11: No such file or directory

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I opened again with Gmail tab this time and:

and that jumped to 270 MB Resident Memory later. Don't have Firefox where I'm testing and writing this right now to compare that.

It is still running, didn't crash yet.

On LXTerminal, this is what I got when I opened Gmail:

WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /run/user/lubuntu/keyring-aTd8QF/pkcs11: No such file or directory
xombrero: config_parse: cannot open /home/lubuntu/.xombrero.conf: No such file or directory

My testing is not over yet.
I must say it is slow, even with one tab opened. Firefox and Chromium, even if the same amount of Memory is being used, the performance is much faster.

It has nothing to do with the internet connection, the browser itself is slow. It is like the browser needs more power to load a page, open a link, etc.


Anyway, this is just Part 1 and will update it later :)

Other apps are fine. However, I need to do more tests before my last review.

Thanks!
