Opera Restart


Whenever I close Opera Browser I get an error message that says "Opera must restart, do you want to report the fail error" etc.

It happens everytime I close Opera. Tested on x86_64 and x86. Same result.

Tested on Slackware 13.0 and current. Used slackbuilds from slackbuilds.org.

Anyone else experience this problem? Any ideas for a remedy?

Try the Slackware package Opera makes itself. Here's a link.

I have this issue with opera 10.10 in slackware64-current, too. Maybe because there's ten or more tabs always open in my opera, or because customizations. I even had this crash with earlier versions of opera. Starting opera without local '.opera' directory should show if this crash is present with default settings, or does it reappears later.

Same issue here. Opera 10.10 (or latest stable, can't recall now because I am at the office), with Slackware 13.0, using the shared qt4 package from opera.com
Almost every time I close the browser I get that message, or else the final sync window will not dissapear (many times causing lost bookmarks)

But I think this forum is not the right place to report this, see the bug tracker here -> https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/


Regards

Agreed, I wasn't sure at first if this was a slackware thing or a opera bug. Looks like it will likely be an Opera bug. Thanks everyone.

No Issue with the Opera Slackbuild Here

I'm a die hard Opera fan. I push it as hard as anyone. I've been known to have 50 or 60 tabs open at once. I use it on Slackware 13 32 bit and 64 bit. I leave it open for days at a time. Eventually it will crash, but that's after days of running it hard.

I use Opera on my Android phone, on all my Slackware boxes, on a Red Hat EL 5 box, on Windows... no problems like this anywhere. I use the Opera Slackbuild for version 10.10 on my Slackware installations.

My only gripe with Opera is printing. Opera has never printed worth a damn. Chrome is the same way. I open Firefox when there is printing to do from the web.

Never had a lost bookmark and I have hundreds of them that sync between *all* these devices.

Just my 2 cents on Opera. By the way, when it finally does crash, I've never found the crash reporting to work . It just hangs. Always been that way.

Same here LOL! I even paid for the ad-free Opera back in the day!

I lost count of the number of tabs I had open yesterday but it was well over 60 tabs!

I've never had it crash on Slackware 64 - I used the Slackbuild.

For web pages without graphics you might consider piping to elinks and printing from there instead - I think the elinks documentation shows how it's done. Elinks formats text pages quite nicely for printing.
