I've tried to install Opera every which way and only got it working briefly once (the 7.55 OZ version). It stopped working after I then installed OpieMail.
I would try running opera from the command line to see if something got unlinked somehow.
1. Uninstall previous Opera (7.3 something). "all opera references"
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 "this may be done"
These steps were from OZ 3.5.2 (packages were installed to /mnt/card/ instead of /mnt/card/packages) so step six would now make an empty symlink (opera_7.55_OZ3.5.3_arm.ipk should do this automaticly)
axxx - make sure sharp compat libs are installed
a1. grab the sharp-compat-libs from the 3.5.3 feed
a2. ipkg -d sd install <sharp-compat-libs...> from where ever they ary
a3. ipkg-link add sharp-compat-libs
a4. restart opie to get the icons
a4. run either the libs icon or "makecompat" to link opera to the libs
a5. you should be ready to go.
Im pretty sure opie-sh is also need to use the compat libs so you need to install and link them too.
Don't know who posted it.
I have the following versions of Opera:
opera_sl-5x00-7.30.9965_arm.ipk
opera_7.55.6079_arm.ipk
opera_7.55_OZ3.5.3_arm.ipk
opera_7.55.6079_arm.ipk and opera_7.55_OZ3.5.3_arm.ipk are basicly the same except I repackaged opera_7.55_OZ3.5.3_arm.ipk so that it would properly set up the symlinks with OZ 3.5.3 on a sd card (the /mnt/card/packages thing). It also fixes a problem with large images by increasing the cache.
I have had a GREAT DEAL of difficulty in getting the sharp-compat-libs to either download or install properly so maybe someone could walk me through that
I just use the package manager to downloaded and installed everything for me.
Or is this just a very bad ROM??? And I should wait until it's fixed.
Boy, when I first used to go on the old Sharp forums a couple of years ago, everyone used to constantly brag about Open Zaurus and how great it was. Was it once great and has sunk to new lows or what?? I'm just glad I didn't try it before I had 2 Zauri to fool around with. blink.gif
I think OZ is still great but it is unstable, so you either need to know some different things about it or have a lot of time to figure them out (I'm the later ).
All you
should have to do is install opera_7.55-OZ3.5.3_arm.ipk and then use the compat libs to link it. If that doesnt work for some reason run it from the command line and go from there.
You'll get it just keep at it and think of how cool it'll be when you have everything set up!
