bvc Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 First, does any one know how to change the default kde purple/violet highlight color if you don't have kde installed? Or am I stuck with it? :x Second, I want to use the shared version because changing and using Xft font's is so much easier. You can still use Xft font's with the static version but I wouldn't know what to call them/which ones if I wanted to change them. When I switched to the static version, because java applets caused opera-6.11-shared to crash, the font entrys in ~/.opera/opera.ini still read xft-Arial-iso8859-1 xft-Tahoma-iso8859-1 Works with the static, but you can't touch the fonts in Preferences, or it changes them to "normal". Not that big of a deal, but never the less a pain. The big prob, as I'm sure you've heard or experienced, is j2re-1_4_1_01 not working with the shared version. Before I go downloading 5 diff java's at over 100MB I thought I'd ask if anyone has found a java that works with 6.10-shared or 6.11-shared. Anyone? Oh, and Flash works but I have to manipulate it a bit by stopping the loading of the page at just tje righ time. I'm asuming this is because, using gnome/gtk apps, that flash needs esd, so I've tried to start opera with esddsp opera but it doen't help...or hurt. Thanks for any suggestions!

Cannonfodder Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 You could try altering the path whenever you run Opera so it points to the java 1.3 location rather than the newer 1.4. Can do this by making a script called opera.sh that alters the path, and then runs the opera runtime. Just an idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 Are you saying 1.3 works with 6.11-shared? Can't there be multiple versions of java installed? If so, there's no need for a script. I've never tried or heard of it being done, but I don't see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 1, 2003 Author Share Posted January 1, 2003 I guess this means opera users are all using the static version? Hmmm...why do they even make the shared? I hate violet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 2, 2003 Author Share Posted January 2, 2003 For anyone else that my have a Opera/Flash prob from a gtk/non kde environment, stop esd from running at X start and start opera with soundwrapper opera. Did I say I hate violet :?: :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 :lol: Almost a one user thread :P Fixed the color issue, well...my wife did. If you have a spouse that refuses to give up windows....set the bootloader to attempt but fail to boot windows. Then while you're at work, if she/he wants to check email or get on the internet, they'll have to use linux!hehehe...I didn't screw with grub though...windows just sucks! :P Shared still won't work. The flash thing wasn't completely solved, still had a lot of probs, but it worked great in the wifes kde...hmmm.. so I did ps auxf and opened a term in flux and did what kde did /usr/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m artsmessage -l 3 -f Flash worked great so I put it in my ~/.xinitrc>installed xmms-arts for xmms and all is well! What's cool about this is I can use play /path/to_a_.wav & exit in gkrellm and still hear it while using xmms. Couldn't b4, with or without esd.

Crashdamage Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I have Java 1.4.0 installed and working fine with Opera 6.10. Also 1.3 is installed and causes no conflicts. Maybe you should try going back to 1.4.0 from 1.4.1. I can't remember where or what it was now, but I saw somewhere that 1.4.1 had some problems...that's why I still have 1.4.0. Sometimes the latest is not the greatest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 Thanks, but I've tried all three with the 6.10 and 6.11-shared....no go :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 "...tried all three with the 6.10 and 6.11-shared..." That may be it. I've never had much luck trying to use shared versions of Opera, even in Windoze. Try using the static version. It comes with Java 1.3 I'm pretty sure, but it picked up 1.4 on my system and started running it with no additional configuration by me, just worked.

bvc Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 I've been using the static...that's the problem :o ...I don't understand why others with a default, or close to it, install of ML9.0 can run the shared and I can't????? I've never gotten one to work...but others do? I'm going to go change my diaper now :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
