the problem I'll be describing might be caused by different reasons:
on linux opensuse leap 15.1 gnome (wayland) I can share e.g. mupdf but not evince or libreoffice in chromium jitsi session with screen share application window
another participant on windows tried to share a pdf document using microsoft office 365 and it seemed to show on his browser, but not on the other conference participants' browsers (one chromium on linux as in 1., the other firefox on windows), so he could not share his screen
I could not find any information on this topic using search machines. So I would appreciate if there is any answer on this out there in the community.
Looking forward to solving this ...
Cheers

PS: on the setup described in 1. also obs studio fails to screencast, maybe there is something related to this system setup causing this problem, some video driver setting e.g.?
This is probably related to Wayland, which has more restrictions than classic Gnome. Since you are having the same issue with OBS this sounds like this a classic Wayland permission issue.
I know they are working on implementing screen sharing support via pipewire but no idea how far this is.
You might try to switch back to Gnome on the X-Server until this is properly implemented.

Not directly a programming question but certainly one on developer productivity.
Like many developers I'm running the latest version of Firefox DeveloperEdition, to take advantage of all its various toolset, whilst trying to listen to Spotify to drown out the open plan office.
Whilst not the first time this has happened; Spotify crashes repeatedly with the WidevineCdm plugin being blamed as the culprit... this usually happens without any playback, but sometimes after a couple of seconds.
Usually "Help" page hints of fiddling with plugin settings as per usual aren't all that helpful.
I know that it'll likely resolve itself in a few days, but as a curious developer, I would like to know why it persistently breaks?
Unfortunately my fix to use Google chrome instead of Firefox :-(
This error just cropped up on Windows 7 ultra running Firefox to watch Netflix. (August 2019). Chrome worked OK as well as windows 10. For me i seemed to have found a solution (hopefully) After lots of digging and trying solution I have Netflix working OK by tuning Exploit Protection off in malware-bytes Premium .
I have a Motorola MC2180 device running CE6 and for some reason it did not come with Internet Explorer.
Where can I download a version of an internet browser that runs on CE. Please, if possible direct me to the download rather than just suggesting a browser that may work. I've been trying different browsers for a while, but none of them have a .cab file installer that I can run on CE.
Thank you.
You'll not find a download for IE because Windows CE is a modular OS. Simply providing the IE is not enough, as it requires a lot of other OS-level dependencies that may or may not be there. There's no way to provide a new coredll.dll that contains those required pieces in a download, it has to be built and fixed up for your target. IE also changes the license SKU from Core to Pro in 6.0, so it would be a licensing problem as well.
If you want IE, you'll have to ask Motorola for a new OS image that creates it. If you don't care exactly which browser you have, then follow #yms's advice and look at Opera Mobile, MiniMo, or one of the other browsers with CE support.
The MC2180 does not have IE, because comes with Windows CE CORE edition, this ed. does not contain IE, the MC2180 is an economic range solution. They are other solutions available according to your needs.

You could try with Opera Mobile. It may work on your flavor of Windows CE 6.0.
I have installed IE8 on my system. I usually test my application on this browser, but the problem arises when i got to know that the client is using IE7. Now how can i test my application on IE7?
One possible solution is to have dual booting on my system. So on version of Windows i can have IE7 and on another i can have IE8. But i really don't want to use this solution.
Another possible solution is to use PC Emulator [ Don't know what is this, just heard about these ]. Using which i can have multiple IE version simultaneously. Have you ever tried this solution? Please name any good FREE emulator.
Please let me know if there is any other better solution.
you can use
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
and here can you see all browser versions as picture
http://browsershots.org/
I got the solution. :)
In IE8, click on Tools > Developer Tools | or press F12
Then in developer Tools > select the browser mode [ available: IE7, IE8, IE8 with compatibility view ]
This is what i was expecting. :)
Microsoft provides a free set of Windows Virtual PC images for testing various versions of IE on various Windows service packs.
Virtual PC is also free.
Have you ever seen Microsoft Expression Web tool? It contains kick-ass tool for testing pages in various versions of IE - SuperPreview. And this tool also available free, you can download it here.
It's much more easy to use it instead of Virtual PC images. But it can't replace VPC completely because testing in clear environment is also very important.
This is a quick and easy web service solution, good for quick testing.

For those who are still looking for an answer here's a Chrome extension
It has over 6 millions users, and it claims:
Top 10 Chrome extension since 2009!
-- WINDOWS ONLY -- WINDOWS ONLY --
IE Tab exactly emulates IE by using the IE rendering engine directly
within Chrome. This will enable you to use ActiveX controls and test
your web pages with different versions of IE (IE6, IE7, IE8, or IE9).
-- FEATURES --
Create a list of URLs that will automatically open in IE Tab
Group Policy support for enterprise deployments
Securely use the old IE rendering engine
Edit Sharepoint documents instead of opening read-only
Use Java, Silverlight, and ActiveX in Chrome seamlessly
You can also look at Adobe BrowserLab:

Running Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 on the same machine
I recently started a new job and my lead is out sick. He assigned me a bug in our code that only affects Internet Explorer 6. The developer box I'm running is Windows Server 2003 with Internet Explorer 7, though.
How can I open the web page and debug it from my computer in Internet Explorer 6?
Install Virtual PC (now a free download) and one of the disk images from this page that provides you with a vanilla install of XP with the browser you want to test.
Use IETester.
Step 1: Virtual machines configured for each setup you want to test. Use VMWare or Parallels if you are on a Mac.
Step 2: Automate your functional tests with Selenium. You will never look back!
We do all of our IE6 testing on a VMWare machine that runs XP with IE6. Obviously takes a bit of setup time but worth it once it's done.
I've played with many of these ie6 options, and the best IMO is just to have a vmware install with an ie6 image in the long term.
In the short term, however, I've had the most success with IE Collection, but it is still somewhat buggy.
IES4Linux and IES4OSX work [sometimes] on their respective Operating Systems too.
Use Spoon (was Xenocode)... http://spoon.net/browsers/
It will let you startup any number of different browsers in a sandbox from within your browser.
The advantage:
You don't have to install any virtual machines.
You don't have to rely on apps like IE Tester and can instead use the actual browsers.
This obviously doesn't apply to your specific situation, but for anyone who is running Windows 7, a good option is to use XP Mode. The XPM image has IE6 installed and won't expire like the Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC images.
Once you've installed XP Mode, create a shortcut to IE in the XP Programs menu (so a shortcut is published to your Win 7 Start menu). You can then launch IE6 side-by-side with IE8 on your Win 7 desktop.
You can also use Microsoft's own Expression Web SuperPreview

Edit:
Sorry I didn't notice your "...and debug it..." statement in the original post. I think SuperPreview will just show a side-by-side visual comparison. If you need to debug javascript or anything like that, then I would use the virtualization methods mentioned above. (In practice I actually use virtualization for testing, but I figured I'd suggest something different.)
Multiple IE works great.
Many of my users have been telling me that they'd like to run my software on their Linux machines under Wine.
But I'm a Windows Developer who has practically no experience with Linux.
Now I could spend a month or two installing Linux, learning Linux, installing Wine, learning Wine, and thoroughly ensure my application runs well under Wine. But I am still developing for Windows, so I don't want to take so much time away from development right now.
So what can I do without too much effort to get my program running as well as possible under Wine?
I did find this General help on running applications under Wine.
Download VMWare and an Ubuntu virtual machine (Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution) from the VMWare site. This will provide you with a working Linux O/S inside your Windows environment without needing to install Linux manually.
You can then use the instructions here to install Wine, that Wiki page also provides you with some instructions on how to use it.
If you follow what Adam Rosenfield suggested and just try running your application in Wine unmodified, you will be able to determine quickly whether there are problems. My guess would be that there are some, otherwise your users would not have contacted you about it :)
There are many ways for getting help with debugging applications in Wine, consult the website for options and pick a few ways that suit you. As always, it's best not to rely on a single channel for communication.
Also, if you are more comfortable with developing in Windows, the approach of using a virtual machine will allow you to compile your code as usual in Windows and copy the binary into the virtual machine for testing (Ubuntu supports browsing/mounting Windows shares).
As long as you're not doing anything unusual such as playing around with hardware or poking around in undocumented API calls and data structures, you should be able to run your code under Wine with few or no modifications. Wine has a fairly complete implementation of the public Windows APIs, so if your program plays nice and doesn't mess around, it should just work.
Don't use too much of the windows API! Don't use anything new from Microsoft ;)
Avoid using WPF is the #1 suggestion.
But it really wouldn't kill you to test your app under Wine. It's not that hard to try; it certainly won't take months. For instance:
Use http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#wubi to install
Ubuntu into a file on your Windows machine, then start ubuntu and install the latest Wine from
http://winehq.org/download/deb
Then try running your app's installer.
If it doesn't work, check the Wine FAQ, ask for help in one of the wine forums, and/or file bugs in wine's bug tracker.
Should take about three hours from a dead start to trying out your installer.
I was rather surprised when one of my Delphi5 applications just worked out of the zip.
The only real way this is going to work is to do it yourself, i.e. install vmware and a linux distro as Sean suggested. Linux isn't actually that hard, and we're all here to help.
Having done a quick test I can confirm that it largely works. There is an ACCVIO reading 0x34 during start up, the error dialog can be ignored and the application runs, I opened the Steve McCarthy GEDCOM.
Screenshot
This was using Wine 1.1.12 under MEPIS 7.9.94-rc1_32 under VMWare. Highly recommend to use VMWare for this sort of thing.
What language/platform do you develop with? Depending on which it is, it should be no trouble to get it running native. For example, if you use Java or Python, both operate very cleanly on Linux. Likewise, if you're a .NET developer, you should be able, with some pain, to get your app running in Mono.
Find Linux beta testers. It can reports a bug to WINE developers or find a bug in your application.
Wine is more sensitive to errors than Windows. For example, Wine will crash on NULL window handles, and fail to create windows if the class is invalid, whereas Windows is more robust and will just circumvent the error.
It's an opportunity to clean up your code.
I was amazed at how well Wine ran my app the first time I tried. However, I had to get rid of a third-party driver-based component.
