The .pet will overwrite the old opera if you did not uninstall the old opera, and your settings will transfer automatically. :)

Nope.

Sorry, I seemed to miss the link, must have been the excitement.

Just Downloaded the Pet, and pleased to say that everything works fantastic, in Puppy 4 Dingo.

Thanks

I am using Opera 9.60beta1 on ChurchPup 3.01 and it works nicely. YouTube plays nicely enough. Also, e-mail servers and myspace (not that I actually use like some may) work well too. Overall, an improvement over the 9.52.

It can be downloaded from Opera and installed from source code very easily.
The only windows I have are those on my home.

Hi,
All working I downloaded
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/opera/linux/960 ... 386.tar.gz

followed the old instructions from
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28317

and then tried running the Opera "install.sh" and that worked fine as well.

What really made me happy is BBC iplayer works alough not in full screen (yet)

I've seen this BBC iplayer issue before, what version of what browser does bbc iplayer fullscreen actually work? Have you ever seen it working on puppy?
thanks for your time

I'm using 9.60 and it works well, except for one thing; how do I install Flash 10 (for which I've got the pet) into it?

I downloaded the latest flash from adobe which has hardware acceleration built in. But this still did give me full screen. So still no full screen in puppy.

The way I updated v9 latest build was to download the tar.gz from adobe extract the lib file and copy over the exsisting one in mozilla/plugin or opera/plugin dir. Might work the same for 10.

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. :wink:

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?
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

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!
Enjoy life, Just Greg

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