Thanks much,

Sheldon,

I have no experience of Puppy 214X and have not tested my SFS on it. My personal focus is on supporting Quirky and Wary users. Your original post was in the correct thread to discuss problems running Puppy 214X. Hopefully, the developer will be able to help.

Thanks a lot for your response, Terryphi. I will follow up there.

This works great, thanks for making it available.
I have a very low end box, VIA epia ek1000, and made a couple of changes in opera:config that seem to make it perform better.
Of course under plugins, turn off flash, drives this cpu nuts.
Under performance >
max connections server 2
max connections total 4
max persistent 6
network buffer size 128
Under user pref >
Automatic ram cache off (this seems counter productive but makes a big difference in snappy feel)
You can also turn off mouse gesters under prefs>advanced>shortcuts

Hi anika200. I'm glad to hear it works well on your box. Your tips will be useful to other users of low end boxes. The good thing about Opera is it is so configurable. Using opera:config you can turn off everything you do not need. It is worth taking the time to understand all the available features.

Opera 11.51 released

security, stability, bugfixes
Hei All
We just released 11.51 with one security issue fixed and with several stability fixes.

We have also added Mac Lion fullscreen support :

I have updated the SFS to Opera 11.51 (build 1087) which is the latest official release.

See first post in this thread for download location.

Sorry if you had difficulties downloading earlier (Hi Kenya and Italy ). Problem now fixed. Try again.

See first post in this thread for download location. Please note username and password.

I have updated the SFS to Opera 11.52 (build 1100) which is the latest official release. This is an important security fix.

See first post in this thread for download location.

I have updated the SFS package to Opera 11.60 (build 1185) which is the latest official release.

See first post in this thread for download location.

Terryphi, thanks for all of your work with Opera. I just wanted to report that verision 11.60 gives me error messages in Saluki (Racy-based) everytime I close it. Version 11.52 seems to be very stable. I have a modified version of it which I use for my Internet Apps downloader.

Tman,

Thanks for your comments. If you believe this is a bug in Opera 11.60 rather than in your Internet Apps downloader then you can report it to Opera Software using the crash report system. When crashes happen they are often related to memory problems.

For me on Racy, Wary and Linux Mint there have been no crash problems using 11.60 (or 11.52.)

The error occurs for me with your Opera 11.60.sfs. I did not include it into my internet apps downloader because of this. Instead, the downloader uses a modified version of your Opera 11.52 in pet format, with an option to delete the /root/.opera folder when the pet is uninstalled.

i was using opera11.60 for a number of hours in saluki and had no problems at all either on shutdown or restart or re-boot. it was opera-11.60-1185.i386.linux from bz2 manually extracted to folder with the advised console code not by using extractor gui.. so it was a positive for both opera and saluki.
fonts are a bit small and changing them in the opera preferences didnt seem to make the required enlargement.

Thanks aarf,

Perhaps the issue is specific to my home computer or maybe it's conflicting with some other app that I've installed. Or maybe I got a bad download. I will download it again and try it on a fresh install.

Edit:
It was definately due to something I had installed earlier that was causing the problem. So I removed all of the apps I had added to Puppy Package Manager to try and pinpoint what app caused the problem. Unfortunately the error persisted after I had removed everything from PPM.
Anyhow, Opera works fine when I ran it in pfix=ram mode, so I will repackage it and offer it as a pet for my downloader app. Thank You, Terryphi.

Opera 11.60 has a lot of graphics/redrawing issues on my Puppeee Celeron, and I wind up having to manually kill the process. I installed the latest .pet. Can someone please link to an Opera 11.52 .pet? I am about to stab Chrome. THANKS!

Graphics/redrawing issues? Sounds like you have insufficient memory.

I have updated the SFS to Opera 11.61 (build 1250) which is the latest official release.

See first post in this thread for more information and download location.

Sorry,your opera-11.60 sfs didn't work for my Lighthouse Pup 5.0.3,no menu icon created even. I had to do it manually by downloading the opera tarball,extract it to /usr/lib and make menu for it. Haven't tried your latest opera-11.61-1250.sfs yet.
I would prefer loading sfs instead which LHP503 can load up to 40 without bloating up the pupsave.

I know nothing about Lighthouse Pup 5.0.3. It works on Wary and Racy which are the Pups I use. Maybe you need to do #fixmenus at terminal to update menus in that version. (This is not necessary in Wary and Racy.) Any remnants of other Opera installs will mess things up so if you have created a new menu item pointing to /usr/lib you should not try the SFS. All this is explained in the notes on the download page.

Opera does not automatically update in Linux.

Noted. Thanks for your reply.

Happy to report that I've just tried your latest opera-11.61-1250.sfs successfully in Slacko 5.3.1.

Thanks again for your contribution.
