Browser For 3.5.2 Opie
« Reply #30 on: December 17, 2004, 12:06:59 am »
msjones,

I was able to get konqueror to work on my 5600 by installing libstdc++6 from the 3.5.1 feed.  If anyone out there knows of a better way to get konqueror working on a 5600 please post it.

hope that helps... if you still have questions feel free to send me a PM

I've got Konquerer working on my 5600 with just the 3.5.2 feed packages. Here's my install:

Code: [Select]
grog@poodle:~$ ipkg info konqueror-embedded
Package: konqueror-embedded
Version: 20030705-r3
Depends: pcre (>= 4.4), libstdc++6 (>= 3.4.2), oz-compat (>= 0.5), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.5+1.2.6rc5), libz1 (>= 1.2.2), libc6 (>= 2.3.2+cvs20040726), libjpeg62 (>= 6b), libgcc1 (>= 3.4.2)
Status: install user installed
Architecture: arm
Installed-Time: 1103052597lHaven't done much with it yet, but seems to work ok. HTH

Browser For 3.5.2 Opie
« Reply #32 on: December 20, 2004, 11:02:08 am »
I would like to recommend Opera 6.0 as the browser to use with OZ 3.5.2.  From what I've heard, higher versions of Opera are too unstable.  Mozilla related browsers are too slow.  I can tell you from experience that Konqueror-embedded (which you find in the opie feed) will cause you problems by putting cache on your romdisk, and it will crash while parsing java script.

So, use a creator to rip opera from the sharp distro, then install the pkg.  Make a link from /usr/share/opera to /opt/QtPalmtop/opera (this fixes a bug).  Use "Libraries" settings prog (that came with oz-compat) to make opera use the alternate libs.

OZ is great, and we should all help it along, but sometimes we want STABILITY in our lives, so stick on opera as well so you can breathe again after konq gets you angry.

Cool. I guess that means I need to reinstall the Sharp ROM to do that? And  I can see operacreator in the ZUG feed, so I guess I'll use that one, right?

Thanks for the tips. seeyah

You can get the opera ipk from the zug downloads iirc.

No need to flash another ROM just to extract it.

Thanks for your replies. I have no problem with Opera. I thought I read that it was only for GPE and that the only browser for OPIE was konq.

BeKind,
Will OPERA install on OPIE as you suggested?

Opera 6 was great but there was one big problem for me... I couldn't use the directional pad!!!  I can on Opera 7 though, so I unfortunatly have to stick with that (which does crash all the time).  Maybe the konqueror from 3.5.1 will work better than the current one???

Opera does work in opie (with compat libs), it's Firefox that doesn't.

Unlikely, because it's still the same. The Konqueror/Embedded team has abandoned the version for Qt/Embedded 2.x a lot of months ago. AFAIK they're working w/ 3.x now.

No, Opera is only for Opie. Opie also has Konq.

GPE has: minimo; firefox; possibly Konq but I'm not sure.

Mickeyl,

I'd like to second the frustration of having a restrictive network.  We have Novell BorderManager, which redirects browsers to an authentication page before allowing temporary internet access.  I had thought of some kind of work-around using wget, but opted to use my home wireless network to get the browser.  An admin image like you mentioned would be useful.  vnc (keypebble or some other) and rdesktop are also good candidates for an admin image.

Thanks,
Brian

I think that we have to compile a kernel with so much modules as possible. The needed kernel modules can then be dowloaded from the website.
There is very little reason to compile most things as modules. The amount of flash used by the kernel is fixed in size around 1MB. If we compile everything as a module the kernel becomes 500k and half of that is unused. The space for modules now gets taken out of the space for your root file system. If you compile them in you get the extra space on your file system and you leave less flash unusable.

I dunno....  My exerience with OZ is that most stuff ends up on my sd card anyway....  I'd be perfectly happy to have just basic functions and a ton-O-modules on the internal flash and everything else (more or less--what makes "basic funcions" would be an issuemaybe the gui pim and the controls?) on sd, if the modules were actually needed.  I don't know that such a radical system is required, just that it would be of little ultimate difference to the end-user in pratical terms... infact if one of those modules was  journalling filsystem support the end-user might be better off...
just a thought,

OK, I installed opera 6 from the zug downloads as well as ozcompat and opie-sh from the 3.5.2 feed. I did ln -s /usr/share/opera /opt/QtPalmtop/opera. I ran makecompat from terminal and followed the promps to link opera to the ozcompat library. Rebooted. Opera icon shows up, I click icon and opera opens up. Opera opens up an html file.

Problem is the menus at the top are not appearing. All I can see is a square where each menu item should appear but there is no identification. If I click the squares, menu items will open up but I cannot tell what each one is untill I actually open it. Is there any way to correct this?

Sounds like there is a problem with your symlink between the source of /opt/QtPalmtop/opera  and the destination of /usr/share/opera

Your symlink would appear to be going the wrong way.

Thank you JohnKiniston

I am a little new to linux. I reversed the symlink and all is well!
