Opera 11.11 pet +portable +WebM +locales +flash-adblock

[Henry]

I have relative link from /usr/java/jre1.6.0_22/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and Java webpage is detecting Java in Opera 10.63, if plugins are enabled.

New Java 6u22 by Nikukyu: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 4&start=30.

Thanks. The symlink fixed it.

I used this:

ln -s /usr/lib/jre1.6.0_18/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

EDIT: Another solution has since been pointed out to me as on:

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/JavaRuntimeEnvironment

that
]jre-1.6.0.22.pet has these advantages:
* updated version
*installs in /mnthome
*automatically applies symlinks

This works too.

Quite anxious to download the Linux version. I looked far and wide but could only find the windows download.

Where is it? Thanks.

Hi. I've tried to install this version of Opera 11 and so far have failed to get a working installation. The pet says it installs OK, but no menu entries are created and when I set it as Default Browser nothing happens. In addition, when I try to launch it via the Console, it gives the following message:-

bash: opera: command not found

Puppy versions it's failed to work on are: Luci-246 (LiveCD), Lupu-511 (LiveCD) and Lupu-515 (LiveCD) and the machines are listed in my signature below.

Could it be that the pet file is corrupt or missing some files?

I've been installing Opera to /mnt/home/opera/program/opera for the past several versions, which desirably keeps it out of the pupsave file. This last version seems a little different in that in that it wants to go to /mnt/home/opera/opera, which is fine but the default browser definition, the .desktop file, and any desktop or panel shortcuts have to agree with this. It was easy to make the adjustments in my QirkyNop 1.2.

You used the pet and I used the the "portable," but it probably amounts to the same situation. I too got "command not found" until I made the change.

I suspect some of you may find one or both of the following useful:

Selecting a Linux or FreeBSD package and installing it

Repackaging Opera for Linux (or FreeBSD and variants)

P.S. Thanks to all of you for using Opera!

It seemed that way to me (one or two missing files) when I took apart the dot-pet, but I at least got a menu entry, just one that didn't work. I tried tweaking it and it seems to work nicely now.
I went ahead and uploaded it:
EDIT: Michalis seems to have fixed the package in the first post, so I'm removing mine now that it's redundant.

[Michalis]

In the previous pet I neglect to include the bin folder that's why it wasn't working.

Anyway I've updated the Opera.pet in the first post. This mistake doesn't have any effect to the rest packages.

Thanks, I've successfully installed it on both machines and it seems to be working properly.

Welcome, I should have check it in a clean install before posting it.



@ruario
Hello and welcome to the forum.

Since you passed by, hope you don't mind to ask you if you can please check four problems I have with opera

Especially the first 3 I've been facing them for long time and I've post about them also in the opera forum.

1. Can't used accented Greek letters (dead keys). I think I could never enter accented letters in the address and search fields, now not even while typing this message. The only way I can write Greek correct is write without accents and then use the spell check to add the accents

I've also tried -noargb but no luck.



2. While scrolling a web page with images and having any zoom other than 100% the images usually get corrupted and often mixed with the text. The only way to correct the view is either wait some time and maybe it will get automatically corrected or change the zoom level. You can see that in the next image,





3. There is a site I'm using daily which is also very popular in Greece and big parts of it are unusable with Opera. The site is naftemporiki.gr.

I know that it is extremely bad written according to w3c standards. I've sent them a mail telling them about it and that it doesn't render well in Opera. Didn't got any respond and send them a second one telling them that they are a joke and they should change job since they are incapable to write a correct site code, no respond of course . Anyway is there any possibility to have a fix?



4. A new problem I've got in Opera 11 is that many sites are being rendered a bit different and some parts are being hidden by images. This often depends from the zoom level and in some cases works well in other cases not. For example mediafire, the site I'm using for uploading files the image covers the login and sign up except if I zoom at 130% or 160%, Thus making it unusable in any other zoom. Also some other words (not important to use the site) are being hidden from the background colour. I've uploaded two images that they demonstrate the problem.

100% zoom:


130% zoom:





P.S. I don't know if it is possible, since Opera is closed source, but I'm sure that plenty of people would be happy if there was an option of striped down Opera browser with only the basic needed features. It could even be an option for puppy default browser

[panzerpuppy]

@Michalis:

- #2 is a well-known crossplatform issue. It occurs under Windows and Mac OS as well. I really hate that bug, since it renders many sites unusable (I always browse web sites with the zoom value set to 150%)

Try http://news.cnet.com for example to experience even worse image corruption problems.

- For #3, try this: Right-Click -> Edit site preferences -> Networking Tab - > Browser identification: select 'mask as Firefox' or 'mask as Internet Explorer' from the dropdown box -> Click OK and press F5 to reload the page.

- #4: Red 'O' Menu -> 'Page' submenu -> select 'Fit To Width'


There's also another bug in Opera 11 that I dislike even more - the cookie bug: The per-site preference 'accept cookies from the originating web site only' doesn't work (cookies aren't accepted when this option is selected)

I don't know if it's possible, since Opera is closed source, but I'm sure plenty of people would be happy if there was an option of a stripped-down Opera browser with only the basic features included. It could even be an option for Puppy default browser.

Opera is already smaller than before. The unite apps are no longer bundled with the browser. You can remove all languages (keep only the 'en' locale) and use lzma compression if you need an even smaller package.

Removing the the Mail/Torrent/IRC clients, Widgets, the Unite server and stripping it to a basic web browser? That's not going to happen. You woudn't gain much disk space by doing that.

Opera isn't another bare-bones browser like Chrome or Firefox. It's more like SeaMonkey - a complete (but lightweight) internet "suite" packed with many features that you'll definitely use.

Yes, it's closed source, but still the leader in Open Web standards support and innovation

Yes unfortunately is a long term and very annoying in some sites bug. I also always use 130% zoom and face it very often. I just posted it together with the other bugs here because ruario is one of the main opera developers and wanted to press him a bit more to fix it

- For #3, try this: Right-Click -> Edit site preferences -> Networking Tab - > Browser identification: select 'mask as Firefox' or 'mask as Internet Explorer' from the dropdown box -> Click OK and press F5 to reload the page.

Thank you very much, I had never though of changing it, gosh...

Now works well, not perfect yet well. I masked it as Firefox. Yet is a so bad written site that I can't believe how can the people that built it think that they are site developers. In their case I would be embarrassed to present it as my work.
Unfortunately is the site of a very good newspaper that I like to read.

- #4: Red 'O' Menu -> 'Page' submenu -> select 'Fit To Width'

Works also, but opera 10.63 didn't had this problem. So they broke it in this version. Just another easier way to select 'Fit To Width', is from the zoom button in the lower right corner.

There's also another bug in Opera 11 that I dislike even more - the cookie bug: The per-site preference 'accept cookies from the originating web site only' doesn't work (cookies aren't accepted when this option is selected)

Hmmm... I've also selected the same option (as always), and to delete them every time I close Opera, and in my case works. Cookies are being accepted, and deleted after each session. Is it possible to work because I choose to delete them after every session? I'll check it, and if that makes the difference I'll post back.

I can't but agree on everything, moreover according to me, Opera as it is doesn't even have the need of extensions since it has everything I need included. Yet an option of a barebone browser I believe it would be good, even if it reduced the size for just 2 megabytes.

Nevertheless, Opera is by far according to my opinion the best browser around, that's why I am packaging it. Extremely fast and innovative. Let's not forget that is the browser that started the use of css, html5, tab browsing and many more. I hope that it's share will raise so that the webpages will be build according to web standards.

Opera updated to version 11.01


Opera 11.01 for UNIX changelog

This version according to my opinion is a great bug fix for most of the problems encountered in version 11.00. I recommend to update asap.

[aarf]

.. . I recommend to update asap.

Advisory: Web pages can gain limited access to files on the user's computer
Severity

High
Description

Certain types of HTTP responses and redirections can cause Opera to mistakenly give elevated privileges to remote web pages. These pages can then use their elevated privileges to load files from the user's computer as web page resources. This may allow scraping of potentially sensitive information from those files.
Opera's response

Opera Software has released Opera 11.01, where these issues have been fixed.

Oh cecilia, ..... your shaking my confidence baby

click extract this to anywhere you want it:
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/infosys/browsers ... ux.tar.bz2

then optionally copy your old profile folder to the same place before you first click opera. also can set icon and drag it to the desktop. all takes seconds to do and you're in the same place as with your previous opera.
(and ready for the next update clanger )

[Sit Heel Speak]

I have created a straight, unmodified .sfs of Opera 11.01-1190.i386, from the Ubuntu .deb package. Can anyone think of any reason why it would be useful for me to post it? Or, does Michalis's portable version (and aarf's unpackable version) suffice?

[Henry]

More good news! SHS

I'd certainly like that. Hope you get it posted. The "portable" opera is fine in most cases but I seem to have a special situation.

Thanks everybody for keeping Opera updated and available in different versions and configurations. It's so nice to see that Opera is so quick getting out security fixes and that Michalis and Sit Heel Speak are equally quick to update their versions! At the moment I am using the portable modified version by Michalis and will report if there are any anomalies.

Thanks for the hard work and dedication. Love puppy, love Opera, especially the portable version..cuz Im lazy like that LOL!!!
