Yes, opera.com is rolling out releases fairly quickly these days, & www/opera-devel doesn't get updated often enough to make much sense. What I do (when I wish to run test versions) is poke my tube machine on over to http://http://www.opera.com/browser/next/ pull down the correct file, then untar it into a directory, copy the profile/ directory over (if needed) & run it from the local users directory. This way we don't have stray files clotting up /usr/local & don't have to rely on the whims of the maintainer to update a rather fast-moving target. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Cheers, Jamie What FC core are they using as the Linux base now? Just curious.. Quite a few changes were made to the kernel and base system in the FC series IIRC. Might be better to stick with a Gentoo or Debian linux base, if possible because the FC series is always changing up stuff in each release. Also, RH9 -> FC[1-5] is a move from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel, so that may have something to play with your Linux base issues. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The feature will be included in the upcoming Opera 9.1. Hi Arjan, Followed your instructions, put my linux-flashplugin and acroread plugin directories on Opera's plugin search path and... wow! everything suddenly started working. I tried a bunch of Flash sites and widgets, all of which worked except for the last.fm widget (the plugin seemed to start, but never displayed anything). Even audio worked, and it seemed fast too, probably better even than, say, Linux Firefox on this machine. Acrobat happily opened various PDFs I had lying around. The only issue I had there is when I tried to open a different PDF file in a tab that was already displaying a PDF - that seemed to lock up the whole Acrobat plugin. I got messages like this on the console when this happened: opera: Plug-in 2783 is not responding. It will be closed. opera: Define environment variable OPERA_KEEP_BLOCKED_PLUGIN to keep blocked plug-ins. (I haven't tried defining the environment variable as it suggests yet) If you're ever here in Cambridge let me know - you just made my week for me, so I guess I owe you beverage of your choice if we ever meet :-) So when is 9.10 going to be released?

Re: The Opera browser on FreeBSD
Hi Henry, others, As of the latest weekly development release of Opera (see http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/), it's now possible to use any Linux plugin in the native Opera for FreeBSD version, including Flash and Acrobat Reader. The feature will be included in the upcoming Opera 9.1. For now, it'll require some actions to get it to work, but if you'd like to experiment with this, this might help: 0) Make sure you have the x11/linux-xorg-libs port installed. 1) Download and extract the latest weekly release for both FreeBSD and Linux: http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-freebsd/opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507.tar.bz2 http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-linux/opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507.tar.bz2 (FreeBSD package is for FreeBSD 6.x and requires Qt installed) 2) Copy operapluginwrapper from the Linux package over to the FreeBSD package: $ cd opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507 $ cp ../opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507/plugins/operapluginwrapper plugins/ Now, if you want to run the Opera weekly directly from the package without installing (will use a fresh, empty profile, recommended): 3) Copy libnpp.so within the FreeBSD package to a new location: $ cp plugins/libnpp.so bin/libnpp.so 4) Run Opera $ ./opera If instead you want to install Opera for all users (will overwrite existing installations and use your default profile, not recommended with development releases like this): 3) Run install $ ./install.sh 4) Copy libnpp.so manually to the Opera binary directory $ cp plugins/libnpp.so /usr/local/share/opera/bin/ 5) Run Opera $ /usr/local/bin/opera The actions described here do not affect Java; you'll still be able to run Java applets with the native version of Java (such as diablo-jdk or diablo-jre). We appreciate any reports on whether this feature works as expected (or doesn't at all). On Tue, 21 Nov 2006 15:31:30 +0100, Henry Lenzi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks for you support. I have posted on the forum, on ocasion.

You can post on the forum if you have more problems with this. It could be that you're using a package that's compiled for a different version of FreeBSD; use the .4 package if you're on FreeBSD 6. 2) the Flash plugin. Is there a way to use the Linux emulation layer in order to get the plug-in working? See above :) 3) Cyrillic fonts look small, and you can't make them bigger.
