I always thought Opera had dropped support or fell behind the times. Something of that nature. I downloaded the DEB and it installed without a glitch, loaded up fine. Haven't really used it much but seems fine. Is there something I'm missing about it that may conflict with puppy?
Like I said, I was under the impression that they were no longer updating it.

Re: Opera 45
The 64-bit version is now Opera-48 so the 32-bit is now frozen at -45 and won't be updated...spiritwild wrote:Version information

Can opera play video at http://cnn.com/video?
If not you may want to add a more capable ffmpeg codecs lib than the one opera devs are allowed to package. Get it from the herecura repo https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/i686/ (or .../x86_64/ for 64-bit opera).
These are the steps I take for x86_64; adapt for i686:
mkdir usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-developer/lib_extra
rox usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-developer/lib_extra
Extract libffmpeg.so from the herecura package to this subfolder.

Opera 48 working well in Fatdog64. Requires libnotify 0.7.7. SFS available here.
window position / size issue
With Opera v49 or newer I encountered a window position / size issue. Even with window maximized, going full screen (F11) or using video full-screen option would be a 2 step process, first Opera returns to default window size. It then takes another press of F11 or clicking video controls to finally get to full-screen.
Adding the following to the bottom of rc.xml resolved the problem. Previously using the maximized was suffice, but no longer. This obviously requires your distro to use openbox. Change height / width to match your resolution.
/etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml
