Opera Browser .PETS

#1 Post by OscarTalks »

Opera Browser .PETs are now provided by BarryK and available via the "puppy-common" repo in Puppy Package Manager or from here:-

http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common

So I have removed my ones.

EDIT:- Other people's packages are available, but if anyone wishes to try my ones they are uploaded as .sfs and .pet to my Yandex Disk here:-

I believe a lot of people still run Lucid in which I have observed that Opera accumulates lots of large crash report text files in /root/.opera/logs even though Opera is running OK and not crashing. Just something to keep an eye out for.

Semme, I always appreciate you bringing stuff to my (and everyone's) attention.

I have only had chance to test Opera 12.16 very briefly and in that brief time there were a few things I was unsure about (including Flash Player crashing the first time I tried it). I have stuck a .PET in the first post but folks should be aware of my reservations. The rendering problems on a couple of websites remain. We will have to see what happens with the new Opera 15 or whatever it will be called.

Since I uploaded my Opera 12.15 .pet, BarryK has produced a .pet of this version which is in the pet_packages-common repo. Users wanting an Opera Classic in .pet form may prefer to go for that "Official" one.

Thank you OscarTalks.
I think a reference to which puppy the .pets are compiled for, should be included in the thread title.
You also mention Lucid, which Lucid?
What are the common .pets for quirky; common to all cpu versions, or common to all kernels, or what?

Good morning, OscarTalks.

Just now, I'm using rerwin's new Lucid Puppy, and don't have a "puppy-common" repo in Puppy Package Manager.
I tried to add it, but it wasn't offered. I tried to add puppy-quirky-official , but it hasn't shown up in the main GUI window.
or from here:-
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-common
So I have removed my ones.
Yes, there are some 12.15 & 12.16 Operas there, thanks.
I believe a lot of people still run Lucid in which I have observed that Opera accumulates lots of large crash report text files in /root/.opera/logs even though Opera is running OK and not crashing. Just something to keep an eye out for.
Thanks a lot for your help, OscarTalks.
After the problems reported by keniv in the Lucid Puppy thread, I tried tried (in my un-expert way) to see what the newer Operas do
that makes them better; don't really understand.
Someone said there was a 11.64 version, so I've installed that
from opera_11.64.1403_i386.deb
I'm using that now.
Both this and the 12.16 seem to work.

Can anyone advise as to whether I'm in any danger using 11.64 ?

Thanks,
Sheldon

Opera mail discontinued

#11 Post by Pelo »

What will happen with my My Opera email?
The service will, along with My Opera, be discontinued. In the meantime, we suggest you sign up for a new provider and make sure to take care of the emails you want to save. Also, it would be a good idea to set up an auto-reply in your My Opera email to inform your contacts of your new email address. Here are a few free email providers you may want to check out:
Our friends at FastMail
Gmail by Google
Outlook by Microsoft
Yahoo! Mail
Mail.com
And many more – see About.com for suggestions

Opera 12.02 shouldn't be a valid browser for YOUTUBE.
Latest versions can do it ?
