Thanks Terryphi,

I used your SFS as a model for my own. For those who are interested,
I made an Opera-12.02 pet and split the locales into a separate pet.
Without the locales, it's only 12MB :).

You can download them from ->here

I have updated the Opera SFS to version 12.10 (build 1652). This release is a recommended security update.

Full details are in the first post in this thread.

Hi Terryphi,

Thank you very much for the update, which I am using with Precise 5.4 PAE (although I have only 640MB RAM).

The md5 agrees and it seems to work as usual, but as shown in the screenshots there are two display oddities. One top left of screen and the other with the bottom right tray icon.

It may be all down to me as I have a 486 desktop (since no display oddity arises using Slacko 5.3.1), but I'll be grateful if you or any reader has any comment, suggestion or advice.

My regards

Jasper,

I have just tested on Precise 5.4 PAE and Racy and I am not seeing any display problems. You could try creating a new profile. I have seen other unrelated problems on upgrading while testing release candidates.

If you have time to do some tests you could temporarily rename /root/.opera/operaprefs.ini and restart Opera. It will load with default settings and create a new operaprefs.ini . Do you still see the problem?

Hello Jasper,

I have experienced those kind of display oddities and I found that changing my colour depth from 16 to 24 resolved it, ie ran xorg wizard and changed from 1024x768x16 to 1024x768x24

Got Opera 12.12 build 1707 running on Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.10 (3.4 kernel) after having it made into a PET. I uninstalled Firefox.

An Opera unrelated problem is that it is not recognized as 'defaultbrowser'. There is an 'opera.desktop' in usr/share/applications. I don't know how this works.

Can someone advise?

Check file content of /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser.

Cheers.

Which Puppy version are you using and what is the spec of your computer?
Computers with AMD Athlon processors do not work with later versions of Flash.

Flash Player needs certain mozilla libraries to work. Opera assumes that they are already present and does not cause confusion by duplicating them. Many mainstream Linux distros (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Puppy, etc) include a Mozilla browser (Firefox or Seamonkey) as default browser and so the libs are already present. Some Puppy derivatives including Saluki have chosen not to include a Mozilla browser as default. However, I believe Jemimah made available a .pet of the libraries for Saluki users.

Some testers found that upgrading to 12.13 causes a crash when Opera first opens. This may be caused by the auto version check feature looping. If Opera crashes and you see the Report problem screen select 'do not restart' to get out of the loop.

If the problem persists you can try this:

Open Preferences Editor ( opera:config) and search for Disable Opera Package AutoUpdate. Click to select and save. This is no loss as the feature does not work in Linux anyway!

LATER: I have not been able to replicate this problem but it did occur on one of my computers. It is safe to update to 12.13.
