I’ve been running chilipeppr on Linux Mint and suddenly, no matter which browser I use, chilipeppr/tinyg only partially loads (background is entirely white and only a couple of widgets pop up). I’ve allowed cookies and popups, but nothing seems to work. I’ve tried dumping a gcode file in the window and it just displays the actual lines of gcode like when you dump a gcode file into a blank tab. Unfortunately, this has rendered my dedicated CNC computer useless in the meantime. Anyone think they can help me out with this?
Screenshots always help but it sounds like WebGL is not loading on your Linux Mint anymore. I’ve always heard that WebGL isn’t great on lots of Linuxes so not sure.
Thanks John. I’m not certain what WebGL is, but I found a forum that mentioned going to “chrome://flags,” searching for “Rendering List” and enabling the “Override software rendering list” setting to enable WebGL. I tried that to no avail, unfortunately. I also took a screen shot, but can’t seem to find a way to load it on this convo. I’ll try uploading it as a separate one.
This kind of thing happens to me all the time. Try F5 to refresh the page. Try reconnecting to JSPS. If all else fails, log out and log back into CP. This seems to reset CP to a healthy state.
Yes, its annoying, but at least it get me going again.
Well bummer. I tried the ctrl+shift+delete to delete browser cache and, of course, refreshing the page as suggested, but still no luck. Can’t seem to figure out how to get things going again. Thanks again for all of the responses. Any other ideas?
Woohoo! Success! Looks like updating the browsers to the newest versions made it work again, but that process was more difficult than I thought it would be. Firefox wasn’t too bad, but not very intuitive. I went to the software manager in Linux Mint but there was no update button for the Firefox program icon. I had to uninstall it and then reinstall it to update to version 42. Turns out Chrome for 32 bit Linux is not longer supported, so I tried the latest Chromium, which is working great. That one doesn’t seem to be in the software manager, so I opened a portal and typed in the following:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
Back up and running now!
