No more Opera for CentOS 5.7 - (for me)

No more Opera for CentOS 5.7 (for me)

Decided to update everything on my old hp laptop today, including updating Opera from
11.52 to 11.60. I could not install the downloaded rpm.
It turns out this is intentional as can be read in the above link.
I followed the advice and installed 11.60 from the ftp site, the tar.bz2 version because the
standard packer in 11.60 is XZ which is apparently not supported in CentOS 5.7

In a nutshell it installed but crashed soon thereafter, so I am only using Firefox in CentOS 5.7
now. The link has more details, disgruntled users etc.

When CentOS updates again to 5.8 I will wipe it and install what mack_guy recommends .. XFCE flavour.

 

i should work i wonder whats the problem did you put that on SL forums SL 5.7 also same no


as far xfce is not very straight forward also running you flash get some ram but it still it nice better that all those lubuntu .......ect more mature or say close to gnome 2x

 

I have posted now on the SL forum. Opera never crashed once before. I don't like crashes, (duh), so got rid of it on CentOS 5.7. Could be some libraries were
not 100% compatible.

 

i do faces opera crashes on fedora long time but they are due to flash or selinux as far i remember it resolve after next update auto so i say just keep finger cross
