With all the new features I have a question

Due to all of the new awesome stuff that you guys did to this game changing(hahah pun intended) program I have trouble running it on my lil netbook. My other full desktop is a linux box. Ubuntu to be specific. Will this run on it if I can't use chrome?
Were you able to run it on your netbook before? While we have been adding new features, most of them are optional and in addition every update we improve the renderer and whanot so that it should actually perform "net better" not "net worse". I'd be curious about your system's specs and your experiences before, what's changed after what update, etc., if you don't mind sharing. You have to run Chrome or Firefox. I'm not sure if Chromium works but I don't know of a reason why it wouldn't. What other browser are you wanting to use under Ubuntu?
You can install chrome in Linux.I am running it just fine under mint, and roll 20 works great.

Aspire one (D257-1497), intel atom n570(1.66 GHZ, 1MB L2 cache), 1 GB DDR3 Memory. I haven't used roll20 since september. I think I'll use firefox on the other computer but on this one I am on chrome. Lets see basically I can't move my token, or run cam as easily. It all slows down. Once it froze and it is really hard to fit everything on this screen.

Also this is with a blank campaign with just one token on-screen, and you can't move the token at all? I will say that September is...a long, long time ago in the Roll20 world. Back then we were running a totally different setup in terms of how pretty much everything worked (SVG vs Canvas, for example). When I read your original post I thought maybe you meant the difference was in terms of a month or two ago :-)
I have. We had a group with like eight people and I was the only one who couldn't move their token. Yea I figured but I love this site and still want to use it so if there are any ways to help my computer handle this let me know.
The screen size you won't be able to do much about.  Try some test video chatting w/ other people via skype, and google hang outs to see if it's maybe related to the video requirements.  You may find that tokbox is too much, but if you can get your GM to swap to a g+ hang out you are ok.   Also, increasing the memory in that system isn't a bad idea all around.  Not sure how viable that is tho.  Another thing to check out - run top and see how much of your processor/memory is being chewed up at boot.  At Chrome start. At Roll20 start. And how much is free'd when you close each down.
Ok. I'll do that on my linux box but right now I'm on a windows netbook(hence the issue) and we did google hangouts which did help a bit.
