panzerpuppy--

Many thanks for the quick advice. I had been playing with those settings, and while it works, anything beyond 100% zoom makes you have to scroll right to find the missing part of the page.

SM will truly fit to page at zooms greater than 100% I do think it's a 1024x600 resolution thing.

Much obliged for your help,
Jake

just copy the 'profile' folder from /root/.opera to /root/opera

it doesn't quite work as simply as that, as i had to reselect my modified toolbars and custom skin, and some other config settings (such as having tab thumbnail display off, and my preferred homepage) were defaults.
Also of course the Opera bookmarks file has changed name and thus needs a rename to appear (in 7.x,8.x, 9.x it's called opera6.adr, in 10.x it's called bookmarks.adr)
I'm sure there will be other changes that will come to light as time goes by.

(Also it does expand to a 100+MB install which may catch out an unwary frugal user with a smaller pup_save who doesn't, like me, fiddle around with links -- it might be worth adding this info to the original post )

Tools -> Quick Preferences -> Edit Site Preferences -> 'Network' tab -> Mask as Internet Explorer (or Firefox)

Done Smile

Or even better: Use Yahoo Mail Classic instead of the modern interface.
Yahoo Mail Modern is very problematic on Linux.

PostPosted: Thu 03 Sep 2009, 08:57    Post subject: will these solve fullscreen issue?  

Hello-I'm fairly new to Puppy, new to Linux. Puppy is my favorite and the best-working "out of the box" of all the distributions I've tried. Question: should this new Opera or Seamonkey solve the problem I have been having with flash, in that clicking fullscreen gives me the same size flash screen but with content larger within it, so you can actually only see a portion of the content. [The browser window remans unchanged, the size of the flash viewer screen remains unchanged, but the content within the small screen gets bigger.] I've been using Seamonkey and Puppy 4, and this remains the only issue that keeps Puppy from being perfect for me. If it matters, we're watching cbs.com/classics. And I have a hard disk install of Puppy. Thanks!

can someone please setup an email account and then try to edit its properties?

i've got two setup and every time i try and edit properties opera 10 crashes with what looks like a segfault

tthis is with 430beta1 by the way on an aspire one netbook, frugal install with iscraigh's mods to rc.local

i'll try it in due course on beta2 but it would help to know if i need to report it to opera or whether it seems specfici to my setup

The SeaMonkey 1.1.17 with Flash 10 that comes as standard equipment in 4.3 alpha 2 ( pup-424.iso ) works perfectly, so far.

PostPosted: Sun 27 Sep 2009, 19:03    Post subject: i cant access stashbox site  

I'm in the UK and my university's network is very restrictive. I can not access the opera 10 pet file on the stashbox website becasue the network blocks the site due to spyware content on the page. It's very frustrating...is there anyway that someone can send me a link to a "clean" (i mean no offense stashbox Confused ) website that i can download this from? I've looked all over the place and it seems like this website is the only site that has a .pet file for Opera 10.

any help or suggestions is appreciated...thanks Wink

If I were you I’d use a proxy. I just visited stashbox with this proxy:

TYPE: HTML
IP: 81.18.116.70
PORT: 8080

Look in your browsers settings for proxy configuration, input the above numbers and then enable your changes. It may or may not be slow or you may or may not have to reload the page in the browser but it should eventually work.

When you’re done the browser should have a radio button for you to disable the proxy and connect directly to the internet just as you did before you used the proxy. A working proxy may allow you to bypass your university’s restrictions and visit other sites too.

Subject description: 2.0 pet (4.2.1)
 

On my machine, currently with the v. 2 using icewm I can get full screen flash video, but voicemail (which launches gxine) closes the browser.

Currently, with 1.1.15, I can listen to gxine launched by voicemail on Yahoo mail), but attempting to play flash closes the browser.

I tried a Live CD with 4.3 release version. Flash caused the browser to crash.

So I keep both SeaMonkey 1.1.15 AND 2 on my desktop.

The functioning of these browsers seems to change over time for reasons I haven't been able to figure out. A few weeks ago, 1.1.15 could play both flash (in a window in jwm) and gxine.

So, apparently, flash and gxine under SeaMonkey have a number of issues and they behave differently with jwm and icewm. Perplexing.

Very peculiar, changes for no obvious reason.

Anybody else find this?
