Opera 11.11 pet +portable +WebM +locales +flash-adblock
vance.waylon and Artie, Thanks good to see that you enjoy browsing with opera
Sit Heel Speak of course since you had made the sfs you should have post it. There people that prefer sfs packages. The more options the better.
aarf the one I've posted is the version 11.01-1190 only that I've kept only the first digits. According to opera version 11.01 fixes this problem, so I can't understand the one you have posted has any difference? Should I rebuild the packages?

Michalis, it is a long time since i have used your pets, preferring now to do the download straight from opera when new minor modifications come out, and when i came to this thread at the end only to see your announcement of a new opera without any indication of a pet i went looking for the new opera in the usual release for minor upgrades and had to look elsewhere for the download. i posted the link to the bz2 so that others didn't need to go looking. i completely forgot that you made modifications to the front page of the thread to add new pets.Michalis wrote:

i assume the bz2 and your pet are the same opera version.

Also if you take the opera skin and /root/.opera files from the package from http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64554 you could have a Firefox/gtk look and feel version.

have been getting a lot of opera freezing in 11.01-1190. seems to be an accumulation of something that is causing it, because when i re-extract the bz2 and overwrite my existing opera it doesnt freeze again for quite a while. profile stays intact and so still in the same place as before the extraction.
anyone else getting freezing? it may also be from my frequent flat battery crashes.

Opera 11.00 was freezing frequently to me but with 11.01 I haven't got any crash so far. I'm using quirky 1.40.
Usually the solution to these kind of problems is to delete the profile folder and start all over again. Do you use any extensions? Have you checked whether any plugin is using to much your cpu and/or memory?

Michalis: my install is straight out of the bz2 with no additions on my part. flashplayer is there. as for chewing memory and cpu, when viewed with lxtask in puppeee4.4-08, one program called operaplugincleaner seemed like a likely candidate as it appeared often during the freeing near the top of the cpu and memory % list. i would sometimes kill operaplugincleaner and not a great deal would happen immediately, the freeze would continue past the kill.
other things that seemed to be related sometimes was the stuff stored in /root/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/ and
/root/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects/XXXXXXX/
one particular website would nearly always be there when freezing happened.
i would clean these folders out and freezing would after a while improve for a while.
decided to see if it was opera specific, but
have now frozen firefox and similarly the particulr website from above was there in flashplayer sub-folder too. the firefox freeze was not as prolonged as the opera freezes though.
in the past installs i did a new profie each time but still had freezes,
Sit Heel Speak:Ctrl-F12 -> Advanced -> History -> Disk cache Empty on exit
now checked.but i think it is something else as profile doesnt affect it.
strange .mht files that were executables also were begining to appear after i saved a file. changing the properties by unchecking the execute boxes didnt change the permissions. reminded me of virus that appear in windows. just deleted them. peraps 6 total now. only recently and only in this current opera.

When you run the installer, is it running to completion? When I tried the installer straight from the .bz it failed, giving an error message about missing two locale files. Tried it twice from two sources and it failed the same way both times. That is the reason why I chose to build my 11.01-1190 .sfs and .pet packages from the Ubuntu .deb, not from the installer .bz.aarf wrote:...Sit Heel Speak:Ctrl-F12 -> Advanced -> History -> Disk cache Empty on exit now checked.but i think it is something else as profile doesnt affect it.
Yes sometimes there are errors from extracting the bz2. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to overwrite or extract. If it fails once then next time it may not fail. there doesnt seem to be a pattern. Mostly i dont look at the errors just go to opera and see if it starts. Mostly it does start some times it doesnt. My internal SD cardreader is known not to be perfect. fsck is often not clean.

Well, I can't help you with the hardware problem(s), because I don't own an eeePC, so I wouldn't know where to begin.aarf wrote:...sometimes there are errors from extracting the bz2...my internal SD cardreader is known not to be perfect...
Are you running Puppeee (thread), the puplet specifically designed for the eeePC?
Try either my or Michalis's Opera 11.01 .pet instead of the .bz. But first shift into / in rox, open an rxvt window by pressing the left-apostrophe (`) key, and issue
Code: Select all
find | grep opera | grep -v initrd
/root/.opera.
If the .pet installs faster than the .bz installer does, then the .bz is probably not installing correctly due to its broken (incomplete) state. This is not surprising, since the vast majority of users are installing Opera from one of the major distro's and so do not use the .bz installer--so, fixing it will not be a high-priority item on the Opera developers' agenda. I found what appears to be an error in the official .deb, too, of Opera, see item 2 in the first message here.
In earlier versions of Opera's .bz installer, all of which did not give errors here, the .bz installer took just a few seconds to install.
HTH, SHS
SHS: i have know about my hardware problem for sometime but they are not significant enough for me to take decisive or even aversion remedial action. i point things out mainly for the benefit or information of others and developers.
yes, am using latest puppeees.
nothing goes into /root/.opera with my install everything opera stays on its own separate partition.
am fairly certain that it is the flashplayer related .sol file located as above from http://www.nationmultimedia.com/home/index.php that is causing the freezing. i am also suspecting that the .tar and .bz2 output files may also be being corrupted by the extractor in conjunction with my faulty sdcard-reader. so will be doing fsck before an after extractions when i remember.
thanks for taking an extended look at this issue.

have been using the latest opera snapshots as they come from http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/
just using the code on the downloand page to unzip the bz2 and clicking the extracted opera.
also "deleting cache on exit" as suggested by SHS.
no problems at all, no freezing. no crashing.no corrupted files.
haven't been brave enough to go to http://www.nationmultimedia.com though since it turned my sdcard into a rubble folder.

Updating Opera to 11.10
I have used Opera since the first one appeared. Nowadays I keep it installed in /mnt/sda2/opera (ext2).
(But it need not be ext2. You can just as well put it in /mnt/home/opera(fat32) - with corresponding changes below.)
Update procedure:
Download opera-11.10-2092.i386.linux.tar.bz2 from the Opera site and click to unzip its folder wherever convenient.
Copy /lib and /share over the old, but keep the existing /profile and /blank.htm (your custom home page if any) and /opera.
Delete /opera-widget-manager(if you don't want it) and delete /install (you don't need it).
If you haven't already done this,
Open /usr/bin/defaultbrowser in the editor and change exec to exec /mnt/sda2/opera/opera "$@"
and this,
Open /usr/share/applications/opera in the editor and change exec to Exec=defaultbrowser.
If you don't use widgets the menu item can be removed. (I dislike them):
Close Opera and open standard_menu.ini in the editor. Find and delete the following entry:
Submenu, M_WIDGET_MENU, Browser Widgets Menu (or similar).
Everything worked beautifully - I had a new faster browser with my old configuration but better. The bookmarks no longer have those trailing characters in parentheses. Just that would have made my day

I'm very pleased with it. Have been using since it came out on May 18. Just copied the changed parts over what I had per my last post.
