I screwed up! I installed the new update without backing up my files. I have finally got xterm and vim installed in order to edit the minimum font size in the opera.ini file.
I know NOTHING about using vim. I can load the file in vim, but whenever I try to change the font size, nothing happens. I don't know how to change the number that's there (7) to the number I want it to be (16). I have tried following the directions in this thread, but unfortunately, they assume I know how to use the editor (either vi or vim).
Can someone please help? I really need to change that minimum font size.
I also tried copying the ini file to a txt file per the instructions in a post above; however, my directories must not be set up the same way or something because the editor tells me it can't find that file or directory.
I will appreciate ANY help I can get.
Under the earlier version of the operating system, whatever programs I was using for xterm and a text editor were much, much easier to use.

I keep the following text note in my documents folder so at least the directions get backed up.


1. Copy opera.ini to the "Documents" directory (which is visible from the file manager). If you give the copy a .txt extension, you'll be able to open and edit it in Notes:

(Cut and paste this command in xterm after you become root)

cp ./.opera/opera.ini ./MyDocs/.documents/operaini.txt

2. When you've made the changes you want, make sure that Opera is closed and copy the results back:

(Cut and paste this command in xterm after you become root)

cp -f ./MyDocs/.documents/operaini.txt ./.opera/opera.ini


Note: Shamelessly ripped from part of artkavanagh's post.
you need to download and install Ossa-Xterm and Become root.

BTW, has the Opera ini file changed with the new firmware?
I just realized I copied over the new one with the old, modified one. Everything works but the're some changes... like no more "optimized" view option. I am wondering if I missed something.

YoDude,

Thanks for the quick reply. I have xterm installed and I THINK I became root. However, when I put in the cp command, I get an "unable to open" and it says the ./MyDocs.documents/operaini.txt doesn't exist (no such file or directory.
What am i doing wrong.
Again, I really appreciate your help. I'm really struggling!

If you became root the comman line, pre-cursor in Xterm will change from "~ $ " to "/home/user # "

Is there a copy of "operaini.txt" in your documents folder?

FYI I tried with privoxy and indeed it changes the user agent, but someway google detects opera and refuses to co-operate. I also got the fix-google-services.js javascript from http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/200...-friendly.html and referenced it in /home/user/.opera/opera.ini in the line User JavaScript File=
and setting User JavaScript=1 , but... no joy :-(
