Opera 7.30 no bookmarks?
« on: June 11, 2004, 09:02:30 pm »
I just put Opera 7.30 on my sl-5500 here a little while ago and ever since I can\'t get the bookmarks to save! Very frustrating!

well as near as I can figure it was an ownership thing... I had a crash and after reinstall it works swimmingly!

Opera 7.30 no bookmarks?

I installed Opera 7.30 onto my Zaurus SL-C760 (standard Sharp ROM) yesterday from the feed area of this web site:

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/feed/opera_...30.9965_arm.ipk
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/feed/opera-...ix_7.30_arm.ipk

and had the same problem with bookmarks disappearing.  The ownership of the

/home/zaurus/.opera

folder and the files in it had to be changed in the Terminal to:

su root
chown -R zaurus.qpe .opera
exit

I then edited the

/home/zaurus/.opera/opera.ini

file to change all of the, "root", strings to, "zaurus".  Someone else in a different post said that simply deleteing the, ".opera", directory solved their problem, because Opera would then recreate the directory.

Opera is a fast and very standards-compatible web browser.  I find that I am unable to use Ameritrade with the NetFront v3.0 browser that came with my Zaurus SL-C760, but I am able to use Ameritrade with Opera v7.30.  I visited the http://www.opera.com web site yesterday and purchased a license for the Windows and Linux version of the Opera web browser.  They have a promotional offer where you can license a Linux version of the Opera browser for $10 extra if you license the Windows version for $39.  I wanted to support their efforts and show that I appreciate their work with the closest thing to purchasing a license for the Zaurus version of Opera, since they do not explicitly sell licenses for the Zaurus versions of Opera on their web site.
