Opera in Linux?

Nicksan · 05-31-2003, 10:40 PM

I use Opera browser for Linux and every so often i click a link or goto a webpage and opera flashes real quick like its refreshing or something and then exits and it really pisses me off, what the heck would cause this? It doesnt happen with mozilla.

I don't know the answer but it used to happen to me, too. I just use Mozilla and Firebird now. I did use Opera briefly again a week or two ago and it did OK. On the whole I don't like the feel of Opera under Linux as well as that of Mozilla...

I use Opera 6.11 build 290 and it works fine in Vector Linux

opera under linux on my box flys like a rocket and mozilla is so slow i cant use it, its like using explorer, yuk! but opera does this dam thing where it shuts itself down every so often. its really frustrating.

I used to get that a fair bit when I was running one of the beta/rc versions of 7.11 (I think thats the current number), but it seems to have stopped doing that since they released the current "stable" version.

When you experience things that aren't right like that (random shutdowns, regardless of how often it happens, are not normal) you should consider filing a bug report with the application's bug team.

Cool

I will on the opera forum and to thier bug report wizard.

I think there was a bug report about this. I had a problem where Opera would just give a Segmentation Fault error every now and then. I think the fix was to delete some hidden font file. I forget it was so long ago.

yeah, I used to have that segfault problem too. Every now and again...never quite consistent (the only way I noticed what it was was by starting Opera in a console)...

but I upgraded to 7 and since then (about 2 weeks since it came out I think??) I have not experienced any segfaults (knock on wood)

Nicksan · 06-01-2003, 11:17 PM

And that segmentation fault thing would cause opera to close randomly while web surfing? like i experienced several times?
