Opera Issues
« on: August 18, 2005, 12:12:38 pm »
Ok, somehow opera disappeared from my sl-5500 running Sharp ROM.
I downloaded and installed opera 7.3 for SL-5x00.

Two problems:

1.  When I click on the icon, the hourglass runs in the taskbar then disappears, and opera doesn't launch.

2.  When I launch opera from the konsole, it starts but I get some error messages:

Could not find "init/standard_mouse.ini"
Cannot read the directory: /usr/mnt.rom/card/.operasave
Cannot read the directory: /usr/mnt.rom/cf/.operasave

What do I need to do to fix these issues?

Thanks for the help.

Woops.

Accidentally put this under General post also.

Sorry for the redundancy.

This is a shot in the dark but try renameing .operasave to .oldoperasave .  It should make a new .operasave the next time it starts up.  Probably got corrupted.
What's this button do??

BarryW:

Thanks for the suggestion, but there doesn't appear to be a .operasave file in either /card or /cf.
 
I'll try creating it and see what happens.

ohh you screwed up royally.

you need to change permissions on your opera.

Code: [Select]
su
chown -R zaurus:qpe /home/zaurus/.opera
chmod 700 /home/zaurus/.opera

those are for perm changes on the c1000 series.  hope that works for you.

Quit scaring me!
I followed the chown command and got:

chown: unknown group name: gpe

Thats' probably from the c1000 vs. SL-5500 issue.
Any other ideas?

Much obliged.

Cresho:

Didn't solve the problem.
Still can't start Opera by tapping on it, and still getting same errors when starting it by konsole.

Proton:

Are you running under the Sharp ROM?
If so, maybe I should look at switching over.

PrOtOn:

I've finally installed Konqueror on my SL-5500, however I'm having a few issues.
It installed fine, loads up fine, but after loading a webpage, my unit reboots itself.  Happened a couple times, even when the program was started by command line.
Since the system reboots, I have no idea what the console says as to the problem.

Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

I can only imagine that K takes up more memory.  Do you have a swap file set up?
