i have tried the package manager i have tried in terminal
Code:
root@boxer:~# apt-get install opera
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package opera has no installation candidate
does that mean i cant have opera on ubuntu breezy??????? if i can how do i get it.
Edit: Never mind. I don't think #2 will work. I thought opera-static was in the repositories because it showed up in my Synaptic search, but I think it was put there because I installed it using #1.
so with that not working i tried it the first way renamed it opera.deb and got this
Code:
boxerboy@boxer:~$ cd Desktop
boxerboy@boxer:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i opera.deb
Selecting previously deselected package opera-static.
(Reading database ... 107951 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking opera-static (from opera.deb) ...
Setting up opera-static (8.02-20050727.1) ...
than it left me at the commandline ~desktop so heres what happened
Code:
boxerboy@boxer:~/Desktop$ opera
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
however the installer came up and asked if i agreed and i yesed it and than here you go with the final stuff i got
Code:
Opera encountered a problem during plug-in setup.
Plug-ins will not work properly.
Check your installation.
Could not start plug-in executable 'operamotifwrapper'.
/home/boxerboy/.mozilla/plugins/operamotifwrapper-3
Please install Motif.
Plug-in path
(Path can be modified in Preferences dialog)
/usr/lib/opera/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/home/boxerboy/.mozilla/plugins

Are you launching Opera from the terminal and the errors appear in terminal? Or does a new dialogue box pop up when you use the run command to launch Opera?
To create an applications menu for it, you need SMEG. You can also just add a panel launcher by right-clicking on the panel and selecting "add launcher to panel" and using the command opera.
In Breezy, SMEG comes with the regular installation.
P.S. Are these the "errors" you're getting?
Code:
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

What libs? Try the launcher thing. I don't think you should get any errors.
ok i got opera working i added the launcher thank you for that. real fast i downloaded rox-filer thinking it was the desktop but for some odd reason its not in my choices i clicked on craigevils link for rox and it gives debian but not ubuntu. is the debian and ubuntu download/install the same? oh and thank you i addded the motif or oomotif i cant remember. but yeah opera works great
