Hi, i just downloaded the opera preview 2 for windows and it simply rocks ! it even shows signs of the famous firefox adblock feature thats been missing from Opera for soo long.

I tried searching for the Opera preview 2 ebuild and couldnt find it..

can someone please post an ebuild to the opera preview2 found here http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/9.0-Prev ... tel-linux/

Thanx,
jazz

opera's technical preview releases generally don't make it into portage. I think we have to wait for beta1 to be able to emerge opera 9.

its pretty easy just download it then

Code: Select all

tar -zxvf opera-9.0-20060206.6*.tar.gz 
cd opera-9.0-20060206.6*
sh install.sh --prefix=/opt/opera
[code]
Thats it. It will ask you a couple of questions and then you are are installed

You should really read the Opera change log before you install it (sh install.sh method) and backup your ~/.opera/ directory. You also might want to try it first before installing it.

Code: Select all

cd opera-9.0-20060206.6* 
./opera &

is video.google.com's googleplayer.swf working with this new release? The flashplayer loads but the video doesn't start. It just says "buffering".

That's actually a flash problem, not opera.
Macromedia hasn't been kind enough to release flash 8 for linux, and the result is that you can't play video's from google's video and some other sites.
Those features are flash 8 only, and we're still stuck with 7 :P
Have you ever noticed how stable windows is?
Neither have I :D

It works fine with firefox under linux, so that can't be true.

Doesn't work for me. I can't watch google videos or youtube. They're just "buffering" or "loading". Which version of netscape-flash are you using?

Okay. I reinstalled netscape-flash and now it works in Firefox, but not in Opera. AFAIK, Opera uses the same plugin. So, what's the problem?

Which one do I download? The site:

http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/9.0-Prev ... tel-linux/

Has several versions before the "-shared" section. Also, it doesn't look like thats the very latest version. When I try to go to the latest downloadable version:

http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?ver=9.0b

I'm supposed to select which OS etc. Selecting Gentoo just makes it force me into downloading 8.54. Trying the other versions seems to just get me .deb and .rpm downloads, even if I tick "Download this package in TAR.GZ format". So which is the best one to download?

I have tryed Opera 9.0 Beta 2 and it works fine,, you have to extract it from rpm (rpm2tar) and than copy it to /usr/lib/opera and /usr/share/opera, and than run ./opera

Only problem I find is with skiping back, forward using 6,7 mouse button (sometimes it doesnt work)

But its faster than Firefox 1.5.0.3 (less cpu usage, many pages renders faster), only some pages renders slow during scrolling (www.gentoo-portage.com)

I have tryed Firefox optimize to -Os, -O2 and opera was always faster.

I would be very happy if opera will support plugins like firefox...

tar.bz2 for beta2 :D

cludge ebuild:
echo "www-client/opera" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
emerge opera # gets you * pre2
now edit the ebuild with the following lines and save it as opera-beta2.ebuild

Code: Select all

OPERAVER="9.0-20060518"
OPERAFTPDIR="900/beta2/en"
OPERASUFF="en-284"

S=${WORKDIR}/${A/.tar.bz2/}

DESCRIPTION="Opera web browser."
HOMEPAGE="http://www.opera.com"

it will unpack the bz2 and fail with a msg about a patch , but the job is done.

Q & D , can't be arsed to tweek the rest in , I'll wait for the ebuild operaeum officalis.

Nice.. Thanks for that link. I'll also wait for official ebuild, and the installation script works great, so there is no need for unsupported ebuild now..
