Hi all,
Sorta new to the Zaurus thing, I've managed to get Opie on here with OZ 3.5.2. Runs like a top, got WEP working, sshd, samba, etc...
Opera 7.25 is unstable at best. It freezes on numerous pages (like fark, which I must admit I like to browse a lot). So I upgraded to Opera 7.55. Well, it LOOKS like it's going to work, it gets further on rendering fark, or even the opera.com homepage, and when it says "Retreiving images from images.fark.com" it dumps out and says "Segmentation Fault".
And, yes, I already did the ln -s /home/opt/QtPalmtop/opera /usr/share/opera thing. I also disabled the voice commands.
Do I have to upgrade any image libraries? Has anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance
-Peter

I had the same problem and couldn't deal with the crashes, so I downgraded to 7.3 from the zug feed.
-
in opera.ini there is a lot of paths that point to /home/zaurus/ or /home/QtPalmtop/
have you changed these to point where they really are? (Most likely /opt/QtPalmtop)

Thanks for the info, I'm at work at the moment but I'll try it out once I get home.
-
Just gave it the ol' college try. Nothin. Still seg faults when loading an image (I'm assuming it's animated gifs...)
-
Well, I've tried to crash this thing, but it keeps on working.
Im posting this from Opera 7.55 (hope my battery doesnt die).
I took the IBM Multimodal Pack and extracted opera_mobile.ipk from it.
I untarred that into a temp directory and made the following changes:
1. Replaced "buttons" with my Crystal Buttons Opera package.
2. Moved "home" to "opt"
3. Moved /opt/zaurus/.opera and /opt/zaurus/.operasave into /opt/QtPalmtop/opera
4. Changed /opt/QtPalmtop/.opera/opera.ini to reflect new dirs.
5. Made postinst to do the 3 symlinks; /usr/share/opera, /root/.opera and /root/.operasave
Then I repacked it.
It's 2.5MB. postint expects it to be installed to /mnt/card/.
Grab it Here (http://legion.homedns.org/ipks/opera_7.55.6079_arm.ipk)
(We all have licenses for Opera, right?)

Thank you for posting. I am downloading it right now. I believe owning the Z gives you a license, IIRC. I'll post in a bit to let you know if it works. Perhaps the guy who packaged this before (I did not download the entire IBM suite prior to installing 7.55, some guy extracted it) didn't know what he was doing.
-
Well, it worked slightly better, however it's still giving me a seg fault when images load. It works on yahoo ok, but fark it still dies on (although it goes farther) and on trying to open my wireless access point's configuration page it freaks. Before it would give me an illegal instruction, now it just seg faults.
I should mention I have a 6000L, and OZ 3.5.2. I suppose the last thing I can do is just install the whole IBM multimodal pack and see if it needs something from there...
Any more suggestions are extremely welcome and appreciated. And my thanks again to you, MrSquishy.
-
Worthless... I installed the whole IBM Multimodal thing. Same garbage as before.
-
How far into a page loading does it crash?
I still havent had mine crash (And I remember 7.3 crashing pretty fast), and I'd like to help you get this worked out if mine truely is working.
Can you tell me a page that doesnt work for you?
I tried fark.com (Didnt do much there), and it loaded all the pictures.
-
About 8 seconds. It will display some pictures on fark, then crash before the page completes. Slashdot seems to work fine, though. Yahoo did work, but now is being bad again when loading an ad. Opera's home site dies too. I have a site that is just CSS and HTML and it loads and runs fine. This is why I think it might have a problem with animated gifs that these stupid ads use, but when I try to log into this new wireless AP I got, it kills it too.
Thanks.
-
Well, Fark definately lasts longer than that for me.
Im going to back mine up and do a fresh install will just Opera 7.55.
...tomorrow.
I'll let you know how it goes.
-
I'm using mrsquishy's package, and it crashed when loading images like before, but if I wget the whole page and view it locally, opera works beautifully(with slashdot anyway). Now why would that be?
-
I really believe it's a library that either gets replaced by a package like kismet or something, or a library that a lot of people install that I'm not.
-
I do have Jeode installed, which I never bothered to install before. No idea if this effects anything or not.
-
I gave it the ol' college try with jeode. Still crashes. This is a really fresh install of Opie as well...
Grr, this is actually really starting to piss me off. If I can't get Opera working, then this thing is as good as a brick at work. I'd try Opera 6, but I seem to remember having problems with that too.
-
Been thinking. I just tried it on my Linksys CF wireless card, and it crashed. Then it dawned on me. It's not images, maybe it's flash sites that are wasting it. I shall see...
-
Well lookìe here...
This is on the Zaurus, and working fine. I bet if I go to http://macromedia.com (http://macromedia.com) it will crash. Be right back.
-
And there it went. It's flash, I'm almost positive.
-
I think some javascrips crash it. Try turning javascript off and going to those site.
-
I, uh, don't know how to disable javascript. I did disable images and now it seems to work on fark and opera.com.... Sigh. It also failed on my employer's website (http://www.d303.org) so I guess I proved it wasn't entirely flash's fault, however on any site that displays flash, it dies. Maybe it has a resource leak when viewing large images or trying to view flash...
-
It is under file(?)-prefrences-security. There is a box to enable javascript and some other stuff too.
Hope it helps some
-
I tried finding that, I don't think it's in there... I even went hunting around the opera.ini stuffs.
Either way, to quote the ZombieSimulator v_3b: A WINNAR IS ME!
I took the /home/zaurus/.opera/opera.ini file and increased the cache and document sizes to the max. Then I copied that monkey over to /root/.opera
Oh how sexy it is when stuff works right. I assume opera was wigging out cause it didn't allocate any cache to the thing.
Now to get xmms working right. Thanks guys, and uberjoe - you might want to try this too. It seems like it's the right fix.
If any of you know how to get an ogg vorbis stream (not file) working in xmms, let me know, I'll buy you a beer, some way, some how.
-
I cp'd /mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera/opera.ini to /root/.opera after changing the cache size to large. Later today I'll go out (wifi doesn't reach into my office) and try out a few large pages. More later.
-
The package I made doesnt have a /home/zaurus directory, FYI.
You may have other stuff lingering around (I dont see why it would interfere though).
You should have /root/.opera linked to (/mnt/card)/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera
I would have liked to keep it simple and have postinst link to /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera, but that doesnt exist until ipkg-link is called.
So if you didnt install it to SD, or if you'd just like to check, I moved /home/zaurus/.opera and /home/zaurus/.operasave into /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.
-
All problems so far have been solved by copying opera.ini and increasing cache size. Every page I tried worked flawlessly, including java. Soon I will try an ssl connection. Thanks for the tip (and the modded ipk:))MrSquishy.
-
You are very welcome, I hope it helped.
Something I forgot to mention, if you are upgrading/have an old install of Opera, make sure that /root/.opera gets removed.
If it is there, then the postinst wont link to the modified opera.ini
That opera.ini has a bunch of changes pointing to the location of libs and "stuff".
-
Wahoooo!!
You guys rock
Here's a recap of what I did (haven't tested it on anything but local docs yet, but given that it didn't crash on the animated Java logo on the default homepage, I'm hopeful that I am good to go...)
1. Uninstall previous Opera (7.3 something).
2. Removed all opera directories (find / -name opera and .opera and delete them)
3. Grabbed the package ref'd at the start of this thread.
4. ipkg -d sd install <pkg name>
5. ipkg-link add opera
6. ln -s /mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera /home/root/.opera
7. (fiddled with the .desktop to put it where I wanted it and to use my preferred icon)
8. edited /mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera/opera.ini and changed cache entries to the Large settings
9. Launched it! It worked
10. Tried it out on the full index of my local jdk1.1.8 javadocs. No problemo... big file.
11. Thanked the gods and any deities I could think of that greater (and more patient) minds than mine had trod this road and DOCUMENTED their travels!!!!
Did I mention that you guys rock?
EDIT: I forgot to mention my details...
SL-5500 w/ OZ 3.5.2 Hentges ROM
256M SD
32M CF / DLink 660 CF Wifi
Jeode (maybe obvious from the java refs, but there ya go)
Whole bunch of other stuff
+ brand spankin' new Happy Browser

Sorry, I didn't know you did this last night.
Anyway, here it is. Note that if you install to any dest other than SD-card you will have to change (it's easy to change to a /home install with the script) or remove the postinst script from the ipk.

Opera 7.5 installs and works great. I would update the install instructions to include linking to sharp compat libs. Otherwise the instructions are clear and work great.

Sorry for beating up the dead horse, but when I've tried to run opera 7.55 under resent OE build (sharp-compat-libs installed), I got the following error message:
# ./opera
./opera: symbol lookup error: ./opera: undefined symbol: _7QString.shared_null
Any idea what it could be?

-
Ahh, nevermind, I figured it out. On a side note, why qeserver is eating 35% of cpu time when no qt2 apps are running?

I have plenty of troble install this opera....
Is it only my problem.
Even I force depend and overwrite, there are stil lots of error
-
I can't even get started, Package Installer doesn't recognise it on my C1000.

I had the same problem. Ran this and it went away
makecompat /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera
Actually, I just tried to run opera, and got the errror message again.
I re-ran the above command and that fixed it, although makecompat said opera
was not linked to the compat lib. Odd.

Thanks! I will try it!

Thanks a lot! It is working now!

Could anyone post a copy of their opera.ini here? Mine is completely empty except for
Opera Preferences version 2.0
; Do not edit this file while Opera is running
; This file is stored in UTF-8 encoding
[User Prefs]
Plugin Path=/usr/lib/opera/plugins
and Opera segfaults on opening with message 'Opera 7.55 was terminated due to signal code SIGBUS'
I've followed all the instructions listed in this post. At one point I got opera to load but it had no icons. After running the ln -s for the icons I keep getting the segfault. Tried running from console and I get the following message 'ln: /tmp/qtembedded-root/QtEmbedded-0: No such file or directory'. I checked and that file does exist:
srw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 29 00:13 QtEmbedded-0
Anyone had this same problem and knows a workaround or a fix ?
Thanks

I installed opera into my SD card and got linking errors, but i get the same error while trying to run. I am new to installing OZ and maybe I am missing something. How do I first fix the linking errors trying to install apps to my SD card. And what would be the command for makecompat if I installed to my SD card? What does makecompat do anyway?

Have you formatted your SD-card with ext2 so you can install and symlink apps on it? If not please do... if you need any help the instructions are in the how-to section of OESF:
https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Step-b...ing_for_newbies (https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Step-by-step_CF/SD_fdisk/formatting_for_newbies)
If your not using the Hentges Rom you will need to install the sharp-compat-libs_xxxx.ipk from the 3.5.3 opie feed then follow the instructions in this thread:
https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14311 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14311)
The sharp-compat-libs will allow opera to be used with the current OZ builds. You can use them with the libraries icon in the settings tab or the makecompat command. For more info please search makecompat and compat-libs on the boards.

I am using a Zaurus 5500, I am using the Packing Manager to do the install and i tell it to install on the SD card.
-
I am using the Packing Manager to do the install and i tell it to install on the SD card.
That is not in the instructions I linked you to... they clearly say open a terminal and use the command line.
However since you have already installed it with the Package manager you can try from the terminal:
ipkg-link mount /media/cardThat should link everthing... then restart opie and try it out.
Please note that the Opera 7.55 ipk in 'this' thread was made to be installed in a specific location with a specific set of commands from the terminal unless you modify the postinst script.

Perhaps you need to link not to /media/card/... but to /media/card/packages/...
I have got this problem on my Z and needed to relink all stuff manually.

OK... that means you are installing to /media/card/packages
So do:
ipkg-link mount /media/card/packagesPlease note as I have said before that the postinst script in this ipk was made to install to /media/card so you will have to check your symlinks if you have anymore problems.
As an alternative you could search the forums for an ipk that someone has modified (iirc) to install to /media/card/packages

Hi,
i know i am renewing this older thread but think its worth doing it.
I reactivated my zaurus and i tried to get some info on what is going wrong with opera on OZ and sl5500.
My setup :
Zaurus SL-5500G
Openzaurus 3.5.3
+ collie upgrades ( 3.5.3/feed/upgrades/collie )
+ upgrades ( 3.5.3/feed/upgrades/ )
+ kernel kernel_2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-r21_collie (hrw built kernel)
Opera specific things:
used
sharp-compat-libs_0.5-r2_arm.ipk , opera_7.55.6079_arm.ipk
done the things described in this thread (updating javamates list now) :
(0. fresh installed OZ as said before)
(1. ext2 on sd card, see sd card ext2 formatting (https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Step-by-step_CF/SD_fdisk/formatting_for_newbies) )
1. installed the compat libs on sd
ipkg -d sd install sharp-compat-libs_0.5-r2_arm.ipk
ipkg-link add sharp-compat-libs
2. installed opera on sd
ipkg -d sd install opera_7.55.6079_arm.ipk
ipkg-link add opera
3. link .opera to roots home
ln -s /mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera /home/root/.opera
(4. edit .desktop -- skipped this, still useful )
5. edited /mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera/opera.ini and changed cache entries to the Large settings
6. checked the symlinks
/opt/QtPalmtop/opera --> /media/card/opt/QtPalmtop/opera
and
/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera/opera.ini --> /media/card/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/.opera/opera.ini
7. ipkg-link (note the ../packages for 3.5.3 oz rom)
ipkg-link mount /media/card/packages
8. linked missing symlink to /media/card/packages/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ini/standard_mouse.ini in /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ini/
ln -s /media/card/packages/opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ini/standard_mouse.ini /opt/QtPalmtop/opera/ini/
9. makecompat
makecompat /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/opera
10. run /opt/QtPalmtop/opera in console (to be sure the right one ist runned, the compat linked one, )
cd /opt/QtPalmtop/opera
./opera
and getting:
window looking almost like an opera pops up, closes and :
Segmentation fault
so if you do everything here you still have a problem, if anyone knows what the real problem is reply please , i have done my best to get rid of the small errors.
thx,
Ferron

I am not sure, but last time I have been reinstalling opera the symlink /usr/share/opera gave me a hard time. Check there it points to.
Good luck!

Hi,
i did a find / -name opera and i would ask you if you can do the same to check if all folders and links are similar
