Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

Hi.
Are there any chances to 12 versions of Opera Mobile for Maemo?
I think that Opera should be a system browser for Maemo.

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

Opera mobile is the best web browser on the any phone, I receive an opera update today!!

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

Closed source, proprietary browser, as system one in Maemo? Funny idea, indeed, but not much more than that (let alone fact, that opera mobile is quite castrated in functionality, compared to Maemo's default microB, or chromium via easy debian).

@Phelixdegreat, after uninstalling it, try...

List the packages that have been installed but still have config bits left:
dpkg -l | grep "rc "

If there's anything listed, purge the packages, whose lines start with "rc":
sudo dpkg --purge <package-names-as-listed>
- you can do them all at once, if there's more than one.

Now reboot the device, even if you didn't need to do any package purging.

You want to clear all Opera bits from your system. so when you're back up and running, look for anything where Opera might have stored config files, cookies etc.
find / -iname opera 2>/dev/null.
remove the opera directories:
rm -r <directory>.
Hopefully, you won't need to be logged in as superuser to remove these bits.

Reboot. Possibly, you don't need to here, but it resets things.

Now try reinstalling Opera.

Hey guys, come on...

Open it, on field "www" you must type Opera:config so look for the settings related to cache size and cache disk and tune it.

This problem is happening, 'cause you've low memory on device.

It crashes for many people actually. Run opera from x-terminal and it is way less likely to crash. Or downgrade to Opera 11.5

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

No, this is not the problem.

The question is: how do you come to that conclusion?

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=12.1

X-Osso-Service=com.opera.browser
Icon=opera


i did this by leafpad /usr/share/applications/hildon/opera.desktop edited thing is i added / infront of opera. ie- Exec=/opera

this is wat solution for crashing problem

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

Reinob,

I had read some days ago on inet about some users had the same problem using Opera on Android and one of the guys sent a mail to "Opera" technician support and they answered it happens, cuz there's low memory on device, so i thought... although I've enough memory on swap, i could customize app cache to try do it manage correctly the memory resources, so i researched about the way to customize it, anyway, in short, I solved my problem after customize it. Idk if it was a coincidence, but indeed this worked to me.

I saw some guys running Opera in background, but I prefered just tune it.

Well, I think you've 2 options. What have you done to solve this problem already?

P.S. Sorry, my bad English...

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

seanmcken,

Could you run Opera and type the command "bg" on terminal to make sure if it's working in background?

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

@leandrolrs,

I just wanted to know how you came to that conclusion. When a tested opera 12 it crashed while merely using 60MB (VM size) and I still had plenty of RAM, real and virtual.

It may still be that opera has a memory management problem and if you reduce the cache the crash doesn't happen (even though it might not be the direct cause of the crash).

It's worth a try anyway (just like @seanmcken's suggestion to put a clearly incorrect command in the Exec line..)

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

@reino

I think you realized command in the exec won't run Opera in background, even if set & after the string, so for those that prefer to run it in background, they need to find another way to run it, cuz type opera & on terminal is a boring way to do it...

I really think developers will fix it soon.

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

This thread should be removed as there's no solutions for the fix here.
The developer from opera labs knows about it and is looking into it.
His thread is here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52373

EDIT: just did it on mine, and it works! :rolleyes: :eek: :confused::confused:

Re: Opera Mobile 12 for maemo.
 

Did you try the crazy-seanmcken solution? It fvucking works!
I cannot believe this, but I'm typing this with opera 12.

Necroposting FTW :p

Looks like something's gone mammaries skyward again here.

Anyone else having issues with text input on some sites? It's at it's worst when posting comments on Facebook.
The text formatting has gone round the tank (no auto return to form a next line), so a whole sentence will be typed in one long line (pressing Return either onscreen or on the physical keyboard will submit the comment). Opera virtual keyboard changes from having a "Return" key to a "Go" key sometimes and sometimes you need to quit Opera and restart so you can actually submit a comment.

Not sure who's to blame for this one, Opera or Facebook but I've filed bug reports for both. I'd put my money on it being Facebook TBH.
