As updated versions of Opera are released, is there an easy way to update to them without having to wait for a new release of NOP ?

eg update Opera 9.26 to 9.27

........

mmm, I just updated a laptop from NOP3.01r1 to r6 by changing the pup_301.sfs file. The fonts in Opera have gone horribly small, and I think I made changes originally to make it all look good. Only problem is I can't remeber what tweaks I did ... I guess it's back to searching the forum to find out how i did it.

Hi, Gray,

The report of my collaboration with Bruce on Qemu is at
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 8&start=75

If Qemu could be added by a petget the result would be a real breakthrough Linux. And I bet you could facilitate it. (Maybe you're waiting for 4.0 :-)

I think doing that procedure does disable the automatic menu updating, but I'm not sure. I'm trying to get XFCE in DIngo right now.

Hello

I made a pet package for pencil, This one NOP user has a class of students that would like to use it, They are using Nop r1, I've been trying for hours to get this fixed. Basically it runs fine but at the most important stage it crashes. When you export to swf
here's the link http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28513
heres the error
pencil: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4) error
I am still left with the segmentation error on trying to export.

I've tried to change a to few different versions of libpng without any luck

to get it going you need 2 files
QT4 http://www.puppylinux.ca/pet4/qt4-4.3.2.pet
Pencil http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ch&id=9317
Any help would be great :)
thanks ttuuxxx

This one NOP user :)
says thanks to ttuuxx for trying to get this to work and adds to his request for help
I reckon animation is a really good tool for education. Suddenly static ideas become a movement that can explain process!
I use NOP as my main system at home and would like to develop it more in the classroom with my 10-11 year olds.
Animation and video editing are the main gaps in the toolkit along with a user friendly logo type software for simple programming. Any ideas welcome!

Thanks for all the inspiration and support!

I really like XCFE, Thunar and Opera, so obviously I really like NOP. But for some reason the fonts in Opera don't look as good as they should. It's like it isn't correctly anti-aliasing them or something, as they look OK in the rest of the UI.

It can make text quite hard to read in Opera at high resolutions. Does anyone else notice this?

I'd reccomend you to try NOP based on puppy 4.1 where opera is a dynamic package.

this problem is discussed in Boxpup thread also

Problem with USB wireless mouse

#150 Post by madscientist »

I was running NOP for a few weeks, and now my usb mouse stoped working. Sometimes after a re-boot it will work again, but only until I start moving it. Any ideas what is causing this?
