Opera updated to 9.62

Thanks for keeping Opera up to date. For some reason I got segmentation fault with 61 and 62 pets and have to go back to 52. What could it be?

@Taavi,

I heartily recommend installing Opera from the tgz. Simply tell puppy to unzip it when ask if you want to unzip it or download it.

Extract it to /
Open a terminal and cd the folder
type ./install.sh

Answer "yes" to everything.

Should work perfectly.

I'm currently running Seamonkey 50% of the time and Opera 50% of the time. Opera was my browser of choice on my G3 and G4 Macs. After those parted company with me, I ran Opera on my Gateway laptop. After the toddlers got enough coffee into it to make it smoke, well, here I am with this old eMachines box.

I have the 9.62 version as of now, and I think Opera runs better for text based websites like Gmail and Craigslist, but image-intensive sites like eBay or MySpace run smoother in SeaMonkey. This may have more to do with my 1MB of video RAM than the browser, YMMV, caveat emptor, and risk isn't just a board game.

KF6SNJ,

thanks for reminding. I've done that earlier but it feels some how easier to use pets and Wolf Pup has done great job offering new versions almost immediatly after they have been released. I installed the newest one now from tgz and it works. I guess I have messed up something with package manager that influence to newest opera.pets.

How do you uninstall it properly?

One drawback with Opera (very good in many ways) is that unlike Firefox it doesn't upgrade by degrees. If you're using Opera 9.61 and want 9.62, you've got to download the whole thing just as if you were starting from scratch.

I am in the testing stage with Puppy 4..1.1 before I transfer completely to it. I have tried both the Opera 9.62 and Flash pet packages and both work fine. The Flash plugin works fine with the Adobe test site, but, I have notice some web sites it does not work properly. I suspect it has something to do with the particular site. Thank you, Wolf Pup for the packages.

I do have two questions. The first is where is the file and its name that Opera stores the bookmarks? I have use to the import function to get my Sea Monkey bookmarks entered. But I do like to make a copy for backup purposes.

The second is similar, where is the file and its name for the address book used by the email client? I like to make a backup every so often.
Thanks again!

The file is in ~/.opera and is called opera6.adr . You know you can go file-import and export to export your bookmarks to html? Also I no longer backup. Opera has a feature called opera link which synchronises your bookmarks online, so you can keep them the same across all your puppy installs. (If they have opera of course). Get it by going File - Synchronise.

I made a package a while ago that makes the opera menues pretty

Find it in this thread. Just thought some people here might like it.

Thank you, 106498. I saw that file and it did not occur to me that it held the address

I went to the post you recommended and down loaded the pets. Now to try them out. Thanks again.

I installled the pets including one that adds the audio libraries. I have settled on the human theme. Everything works. I am posting this with Puppy 4..1.1 with Opera 9.62
Thanks again for the help.

Just for the record, I received this message when I tried to download the 9.62 pet.

I assume that I just need to try later?

Hi, I got the same error when I tried another pet download, and someone else got the same error tonight.

Thus, it appears (?) to be a problem with the murga-linux site?

Hey puppy guys, I have Opera 9.62 in this page

I had Opera 9.52 installed on Dingo (frugal install). Then had a problem while trying to upgrade to 9.62 which corrupted save file.

After generating a new save file, my opera files are not available to me, so I have attempted to install 9.62 via fresh downloads of the tar.gz and the pet hosted by Dingo (since the Wolf pup pet seems to be unavailable).

Neither has yielded a launching opera. When I try to launch from a console window, I get an error message to the effect that libqt-mt.so.3 is missing.

I understand the the necessary qt files should be available in puppy or in the tar.gz that is downloadable from Opera (where I obtained it).

I am a tad confused; vaguely recalling another software install that required a separate lib install, but this hasn't been mentioned in relation to the Opera 9.62 pet or tar.gz.

Parenthetically, the download site mentioned by Dingo seemed to cause a lot of popups and ads when I tried to download.

I installed a pet for qt-3.3.8 which includes libqt-mt.so.3. However, even after making symlinks between libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 and libqt-mt.so.3.3.8, I get the same error.

Appreciate any comments.

Thanks.

Sorry for wasting peoples's time <g>.

I guess for some folks using Dingo, it is still necessary to install the qt libs.

I wanted to have a desktop icon to launch Opera. The opera.sh file in the /Opera folder can be used to launch opera, but when I copied/linked it to the desktop and added the Opera icon, it didn't launch. When I right-clicked on the icon and selected "edit item", there was a line to add an argument for an executable, but I was unsure of the "phrase".

Early in this thread, Wolf Pup mentioned dragging the opera.desktop file to the desktop to create such an icon, but I don't have such a file!

Then, I read a comment by Hairy Will in a separate thread that the default browser can be changed by editing the /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser file. This just involved changing seamonkey to opera. In addition, I chose to change the text under the icon to Opera and the image to one of the opera images in the /opera/share/icons/hicolor folder.

This was pretty simple and got me a working desktop icon launch for Opera.

Reporting this if anyone else lacks an opera.desktop file.
