I have installed SuSE 8.1 onto two machines which had been running 8.0. One was via upgrade and the other was fresh install. Both Installations went very well, however on the upgraded machine Opera refused to start. It had been working for months before the upgrade. I have reinstalled Opera and it still refuses to run. The fresh install also will not run Opera.
On the upgrade install I have re-installed both the static and the shared rpm versions of Opera. Neither will fire up.
Konqueror and Mozilla both will start and access the web. Has anyone else seen this problem?Next I will try to compile it from source, but the rpm's have been reliable for the last year or so. Any suggestions? TIA Richard
As usual, just when you give up after fooling with a problem all day, you find at least a partial solution. 5 minutes after I posted the above, I downloaded the Static rpm to the fresh install machine and damned if it doesnt work! However on the upgraded machine neither the static nor the shared version will work. Since that is my wife's machine, it has to work soon or I'm in big trouble. Any ideas?? BTW, the new YAST interface may not please the purists but to those used to the "other" OS's it is neat and intuitive especially when adding a new app via rpm. I also like the use of light blue colors instead of the green. While that may seem like a silly thing to think about, food folks have known for a long time that the right color sells the product. Lite blue is one of the more pleasant colors. Wouldnt the suse gekko look much better dressed in blue? ra
