all good things…

April 8, 2007 · by csant

…come by three, they say :D

The new UNIX build should now fix the crashers several people were still seeing after updating libX11 and running the last hotfix.

Hope this is it, for this busy Easter "vacation" :smile: - and thanks again for all the feedback!

    I'm sorry to inform that now I have some sort of rendering problem with http://my.opera.com/dstorey . :smile:
    The first letters of blog posts (which are much bigger (CSS-trick I guess, don't have time to check the source) than the rest of the posts) are messed up.

    But thanks for the fixes.

    hello Soleen

    server: Debian etch with tightvncserver
    client: Windows XP 64bit with realvnc 4.1.2

  • Soleen8. April 2007, 17:07:51

    2 Twilo,
    Server: Solaris 9 also with tightvncserver and client:
    realvnc viewer on Solaris 10 (Sparc) and on FC6 (64-bit)

    Have you tried to do it in a realvnc server? But I doubt it matters, since I had exactly the same problem with SunRay.

    there seen to be some problem rendering chinese character.
  • AndrewNi8. April 2007, 17:28:52

    Your dedication to us (the users) is great. :up: *installs build*
  • Twilo8. April 2007, 17:51:56

    no, I used only tightvncserver as server

    Hi !

    Thank you for the great work.

    There is one thing is still quite anoying on OSX (Intel):

    opera statup time is really long, it can take up to 30-40sec on
    first start (on MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.0 Mhz, 1GB RAM).

    I'm sure you people allready know this, would just like to know why
    the first startup is so slow.

  • zombie9. April 2007, 00:37:35

    Opera b.636 just crashed. Can't tell what caused the crash.
    From the crash-log:

    Working on Sunday !!!!! Woww !!
    Unix users must be really happy about that, I'll be testing now because I installed Ubuntu 6,10 on my 2nd HD, so I'll try to give some feedback...anyway, I'm learning linux for human beings :cheers:
  • GT5009. April 2007, 03:39:07

    Another Unix build? Have I mentioned how awesome you guys are? :wink:

    BTW: You guys fixed the bug with the Looney Tunes website causing Opera to crash (the site's numerous Flash animations/menus/etc quickly die, but Opera no longer crashes) bug already. I reported that less than 24-hours ago (less by 10-minutes that is), and it's already fixed. Never let it be said that the devs don't fix bugs. :up:
  • babffm9. April 2007, 06:51:59

    I really like the work you've been doing during the easter holidays. UNfortunatley, the only effect it had on me (Debian Sid) was that it takes twice as long to SegFault now (i.e., some 6 seconds or so)... DefaultDepth to 16 didn't work either; didn't do so from the start.
  • IIXII9. April 2007, 09:17:26

    @babffm: Can you please report a bug, attaching a crash log (see http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/825/ ), and post the bug number here?
  • hansheng9. April 2007, 09:48:59

    Are there any plans to release a version of 9.10 with this fix? Or is 9.20 due sufficiently soon that this will not be necessary?

    Also -- you've probably heard this before, but I haven't seen an answer anywhere -- are there plans to release an amd64 build of Opera?

    There are 64-bit versions...internally. Take a look at the bunch of forum threads for further info.

    This site is still crashing my hotfix3-version of opera:
    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/06/60minutes/main2655782.shtml

    (Do i still need to update libX11 despite using this hotfixed version?)

    have noticed this bug for a long time now, but I haven't got round to reporting it.

    1. send yourself an email with a URL in it.
    2. click on the URL in the email

    the page that is opened does not follow the normal browser settings.
    I have mine set at 120% zoom.
    The email URL is opened at 100% zoom.

    Horizontal scrollbars are back.

    http://www.adobe.com
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/celebdaq (that's pretty darn broken)
    http://www.betanews.com/
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/ (is completley stuffed)


    Don't make me have to kill some kittens. Banish the damned things.


    Windows XP SP2 Fully Patched, Opera 9.20 Build 8769, and Flash 9.0.28.0.
  • VietNH10. April 2007, 09:02:11

    Thanks, goodluck for you.
  • Hypnotoad10. April 2007, 10:18:49

    @Paul Skinner: I can't see scrollbars or any immediate problems with any of the sites you've listed using 8769.
  • aos10110. April 2007, 13:40:27

    The whole interface seems slower with this build, and so did build 633. Build 631 was great though with things very snappy. Particularly with this build I find clicking the thing on the left to bring up the sidebar extremely slow (it literally takes about a second to appear, in stages), and clicking between messages in the mail client is slower.

    I'm running Kubuntu 6.06 with the nvidia 1.0-9629 drivers if that makes any difference.

    Developers!

    Thanks a lot!

    Sorry, but could I ask you to make your designers create a logo-file, which will say current version number, will have stable filename and be adapted for dark background? So called promo-logo :smile:

    http://forum.ichip.ru/index.php?showtopic=6596
    That's for example:
    1. We placed your image from site in first post, but filename is constant for 9.10 as I see, so if you will change a version, logo will not update at our forum.
    2. We have a dark skin and your logo has white borders even it has transparent background. I see, you use 8bit PNG. May be it would be better to use 32bit PNG and alpha-layered shadows against grayscale? Or do not use shadows.

    Forum is russian, sorry, but we love your browser very much :smile:

    That is a long-standing and known problem.

  • phylax10. April 2007, 19:19:21

    It seems i have the same problem as aos101. The whole Browser feels slower and after a while it take 100% CPU for every action. 100% for downloading, 100% while typing, 100% while hovering a list of links.
  • g4qb11. April 2007, 02:47:20

    speed test difference.

    try the following with Opera & ffox & ie.
    http://speedtest.dslnet.com.au/initialmeter.php


    Opera
    218.60kbps

    others
    223.40kbps

    generally, test reports 3kbps slower when using Opera.

    I'm seeing the same rendering problem as reported by ColKilkenny above: some letters in large fonts come out garbled. Example: the upper buttons at this page are unreadable: http://forum.healingdao.com/general/ .
  • saito11. April 2007, 09:35:23

    We, Fedora Core user, got a fix of libX11 finally, and build 636 of Opera starts and works with no problem.

  • Paul Skinner11. April 2007, 15:55:44

    My bad with the horizontal scrollbar thing. The sites work fine.
