Hi,
Opera6 was my original and just got Opera12 installed on Porteus. The package needs upgrade and went with the Slackware binary. Is this the right choice? I'm in a loop, since Porteus reports no suitable Archive Manager found for the 'XZ' tarball. Can this loop be rectified?

Re: Opera Upgrade Loop
Firstly double check that you have xz.
Most probably you will need xzdec to decompress.

You can also find pre compiled packages here, as well as a link to a slackbuild (xzdec required)

Opera Flash Install HELP
Hi,
Should Porteus be in root or guest, when installing the Opera Flash Player plug-in? Also, what would be the preferred install syntax, for this essential plug-in?

Re: Opera Upgrade Loop
I've merged your two opera threads here.
It should be enough to symlink to the existing firefox flashplayer plugin.
ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so
If you don't have firefox installed then just follow the instructions here:
http://www.opera.com/docs/linux/plugins/install/#flash
Make the symlink as root ... but it shouldn't matter.

Hi,
Opera sync's to the flash player, bundled w/Porteus. Updating flash is noted from '236 to '238. Any special procedure for this to happen? I would think security updates gives the flash upgrade credence!
