[Princey]

Please note that Opera 9 final it out and available for download.

AMD64 people,

If you should get this error:

/usr/lib/opera/9.0-20060616.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

you need to install the i386 libqt.

wget http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qt-x11-free/libqt3-mt_3.3.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb

Then,

sudo dpkg -x libqt3-mt_3.3.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb .

Which will extract the guts into the current directory (.). Now copy the contents of ./usr/lib to /usr/lib32/.

sudo cp ./usr/lib/libqt* /usr/lib32/

Enjoy opera.

The way I did it was to extract the opera deb:

dpkg-deb --extract *opera deb here* operadeb
dpkg-deb --control *opera deb here* operadeb/DEBIAN

Edit operadeb/DEBIAN/control, and remove xlibs from the dependency list... then rebuild the deb.

dpkg-deb --build operadeb newopera.deb

Then install newopera.deb, and it works perfectly.

this trick works ok here thnx

I still have a problem with the mplayer plug-ins with Opera, although everything works well with Firefox.

After searching many hours on the net, I definitely can't find a solution.

At the begining, Opera couldn't find any of the codecs of the mplayer-plugin.
It found well the totem ones, but didn't work with it.

I put the mplayers plug-ins given on http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Opera and they finally got detected.
Unfortunetly, it still doesn't work, giving the following message on the terminal :


opera: Plug-in 6117 is not responding. It will be closed.
opera: Define environment variable OPERA_KEEP_BLOCKED_PLUGIN to keep blocked plug-ins.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer.

I found out that installing the "mozplugger" package was needed. It indeed works well now !

But there are still few problems :
- the image is not centered
- the control panel is missing and there is a black layer instead
- when the mouse is over the movie, the cursor disappears

does anyone have the same problems ?

[desperado666]

Mozplugger installed but with no positive effect.
Could you please be so kind and post your detected plugins and plugin folders?

Thx

My detected codecs :



My plugin folder :

stenka@ubuntu:~$ ls /usr/lib/opera/plugins/
flashplayer.xpt mplayerplug-in-qt.so mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt
libflashplayer.so mplayerplug-in-qt.xpt mplayerplug-in.xpt
libnpp.so mplayerplug-in-rm.so nppdf.so
mplayerplug-in-gmp.so mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt operaplugincleaner
mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt mplayerplug-in-wmp.so operapluginwrapper

Erase what is unecessary in this folder, especially you may have to delete mplayerplug-in.so and libxpcom.so.

i Have just started using Linux and Ubuntu, so i'm finding my feet here ... The real problem is mail client ...

I started using Opera-the browser and the built-in mail client that it has ... I really like Opera as compred to Firefox ... maybe I'm lame , maybe its just the looks .. anyways I started using Opera mail client that comes with the browser and it worked fine till maybe yesterday or so...

Now when I check mail, I just get nutin ... and I trust one of my hotmail id'd to get enuff jnk mail to get one at least once in an hour or so... so I checked it online and there is a lot of new junk mail, but Opera has stopped looking at it ... Has anyone faced the same problem? I realise it could be something about "views" , but I've tried pretty much everything ....Any feedback would be cool
