$browser_plugin is not working properly! Help!

There is a known issue where WebKit1 and GTK3 does not work with plugins (e.g., Flash). If you need Netscape-compatible plugins to work, use GTK2 or WebKit2.

WebKit2 isn't working!

More development is needed to get WebKit2 support to be feature compatible in uzbl. Currently, WebKit1 is the best option. If you would like to use WebKit2, a non-exhaustive list of things that is known to not work at the moment includes:

  • Scrolling
  • Injecting JavaScript into the page
  • Cookie management

For more specifics, search the README file for 'WebKit1' and 'WebKit2'.

The python package fails to install

If trying to install uzbl into a location that is not supported by the system python you will get an error like this.

TEST FAILED: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/ does NOT support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You can either install into a prefix that is supported by python

make install PREFIX=/usr

Or, enable the path as a site dir for python by adding or modifying the file sitecustomize.py in the system site-packages directory (e.g "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/sitecustomize.py"). The file should contain a addsitedir directive for the path you're trying to install to.

import site
site.addsitedir("/usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/")

Starting the event manager gives "ImportError: No module named 'six'"

Install the six module from your package manager.
