Title: Opera 7.55 On 3k
Post by: Bombur on February 01, 2005, 11:12:19 pm

I managed to download from IBM and strip out the Opera 7.55  ipk.  However it does not run well on the 3k.  It is supposed to take network settings from the Network Applet in the Settings tab but that doesn't work on the 3000.
When I open it from the console:

bash-2.05$ opera
Display size = 480x640
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"
opera: Could not find "ini/standard_mouse.ini"
opera: libvxm.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
Don't know how to use proxy autoconfig
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /hdd3/.operasave
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /dev/shm/.operasave
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /usr/mnt.rom/card/.operasave
opera: libvxm.so: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
QLibrary open failed!: /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libqsfepj.so, libkke.so.1: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

I am not too worried about the voice operation or mouse.ini stuff...what I find troubling is the line about the proxy autoconfig.   Has anyone been able to overcome this issue on the 3000?  I have tried to set my opera.ini file but that changes after you quit the program.

Check out this site:

http://www014.upp.so-net.ne.jp/boxer-j/opera7.html (http://www014.upp.so-net.ne.jp/boxer-j/opera7.html)

Install both opera_sl-5x00-7.30.9965_arm.ipk and opera-cseries-fix_7.30_arm.ipk, then everything will be fine!

Hi Orange,  
Opera 7.55 works fine for non-proxy stuff.  I did use the link provided but it will not fix the proxy problem.  

Thanks anyways!

Solution:  Opera 7.55 on SL-C3000

Ok, the solution was on the forum but  I stumbled on it by accident!
Install the ipk file
Create your soft links  
 
ln -s /opt/QtPalmtop/opera  /usr/share/opera

But for the network proxy settings to operate properly, you need this:

https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...808&hl=netfront (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1808&hl=netfront)

"On my C860 (tkcROM 2.5.1) I was able to get Opera 7.30 to use the proxy settings defined in the Network setup by editing the appropriate file in /home/zaurus/Applications/Network/modules/

For each network configuration file (WLAN?.conf in my case) there is a line towards the bottom in the [Proxy] section that reads "type = 1". By changing this to "type = 2" and restarting the network using the GUI I was able to get both Opera and Netfront to obey my proxy settings. I have no idea what other effects this change has or even why it is necessary, but it works for me."


Thanks to Peter aka gern!

I tried this solution and now I have a fully operational Opera 7.55

Best Regards,

J.

You can just install Opera 7.25 from Cacko feed with no hassle. No noticable difference from 7.55 apart from verison number.

Does Opera 7.55 have anything like NetFront's Auto-Cruising functionality?

I read some other posts suggesting that it did but after installing it on my C3000 I can't find any such functionality.

I also installed Opera 7.55 on my 3K and I have problem on saving bookmarks. All seem OK, but when you exit Opera and  reconnect, bookmarks disappear : does somebody notice this pb ?

I had this problem jsut after installing Opera 7.30, too.

I started it from the console and noticed that the .opera directories where Opera wants to save its stuff didn't exist, so I created them manually where it was looking for them, and I can now save bookmarks and find them again when restarting Opera...

PS: as for where to create those directories, one of the previous messages may be a good start with the

Quote

QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /hdd3/.operasave
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /dev/shm/.operasave
QDir::readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /usr/mnt.rom/card/.operasave

error messages...

Hope this helps!

I have the same problem with bookmarks and settings not being saved. I also tried to manually create those directories but it didn't help.

Euroclie: As what user did you create the directories? What perms did you give them?

Euroclie: As what user did you create the directories? What perms did you give them?

I created them as normal user (zaurus).

A "ls -al" in the /home/zaurus directory gives the following result:

Quote

drwxr-xr-x zaurus qpe .opera
drwxr-xr-x zaurus qpe .operasave

i.e. they're owned by user zaurus, group qpe, readable by all, executable by all, but writable by user zaurus only...

Unexpectedly, the bookmarks are saved in the .opera directory, not the .operasave one... but at least opera has stopped complaining about the operasave directories (except for a non existing /dev/shm/.operasave one, but I don't feel like messing with /dev stuff yet to try creating it manually, since Opera works fine 'as is').

Hope this helps...

Hum ... I tried (as the user zaurus):

$ mkdir /hhd3/.operasave

But an ls -la shows the owner to be root ... I'm confused

Post by: totsubo on February 21, 2005, 04:22:44 am

I just removed and created the directories again and only /dev/shm/.operasave comes up as being owned by zaurus and group qpe, the other two are root and root.

I was hoping that would be enough but when I start opera from the commane line I get this last message when I exit:

Code: [Select]

Failed to save settings.
Any ideas?

If you want opera to use a proxy, create

~/Applications/Network/modules/Proxies.conf

and it contains:

Code: [Select]

[Info]
[Properties]
autoconfig =
ftphost =
ftpport =
httphost =
httpport =
noproxies =
type = 2

FWIW, hdd3 is vfat formatted, so I think that's why you can't have any other owner than root (I suppose that the disk is monted by user root during the boot, and as such everything is owned by root since vfat doesn't store owner/group informations).

Did you try to create a /home/Zaurus/.opera directory (as user zaurus)? My bookmarks are saved in there in the opera6.adr file... Maybe Opera somehow cannot create it by itself and you have to do this manually (though I don't remember creating this one myself...).

Did you try to run Opera as root from the console? Maybe this would be enough to create the needed directories, then you can exit and relaunch it as user zaurus to see if it does improve things.

Hey Guys,

I Instaled the two packages found on this forum for Opera 7.30. I enabled the fast load option. This does take memory. It loads fast and keeps bookmarks!

Ok, I had to desable the fast load. I was unable to disconnect from my wireless network. I followed loopy's advice and bookmarks are saved now.

Thanks loopy, and everyone else for your help!

Still having problems with stoping the network. I get an error mesage that the network is busy whenever I try to disconnect. I have to eject the cf card inorder to disconnect. Does anyone know what is going on?

How can I resolve this?

Thanks again.

Hmm, all I can say is that I don't have the same problem. Maybe some Linux guru can tell you what log file to open to see what is going on with your network?

I did a hard reset yesterday and restored a back up file. No more problems. Opera is working great now.

Thanks again!

don't forget to chown -R zaurus to your home zaurus direcoty. the .opera directory has root as owner. once i changed it, all was well with bookmarks.
