hotfix
By Claudio Santambrogiocsant. Friday, April 6, 2007 11:30:03 AM
After updating to new X libs on some Linux distros, Opera stopped working. We are looking into the issue, and in the meantime we have a hotfix ready for you.
Happy Easter!
If you do not want to install a weekly release but continue running version 9.1, you can change the "DefaultDepth" option to 16 in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, as this will also work around the problem.

bur1:~$ opera
Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "bur1:101.0".
opera: Shared memory extension not available
The Solaris 9 builds are identical on these two machines: so it seems that in first case Opera does not detect that Shared memory is not availble?

Edit: downgrading made everything stable again.

Just tried it locally and the same segfault repeated right during the start. Another thing: in both cases I am in VNC session but I do not think that this would cause anything.

I have full access only to systems with Sol 10 and Sol 11, and on those Opera starts fine. However, I always run my desktop in VNC session on Solaris 9 machine. I just tried to connect to one of those Sol9 machines using SunRay: and after launching opera it again prints the message that shared memory is not availble and start fine after that.
So may be shared memory is actually not availble but because opera is in VNC session it can't figure this out? ( To be honest I have no knowldge in how X shared memory works)
update: after connected to a Sol 10 machine using SunRay and starting Opera: no messages is printed and opera starts fine.

/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: invalid context system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t on line number xxx
(for various values of xxx).
As I said, I had no difficulty with the previous weekly on this box. I also had no difficulty installing either release on my Fedora Core 6 system.

some pages also same... is using memory problem?

Build 633, Opensuse 10.2, Thinkpad T43 2Ghz 1G RAM 1440x1050 display
With 26 tabs open and Opera running for 12 hours+ memory stats are:
Machine: Centrino 2Ghz, 1Gb RAM
Keystroke buffering problem: Holding down cursor-down or cursor-up in linux builds a buffer of keystrokes which continues after releasing the key. Very frustrating when scrolling.
Flash issues:
Still improving but still problematic...
Zoom is still not working on Flash sites, unlike Opera-Win. Also, I've had several situations with www.2advancedstudios.com where the site disappears and I just see a blank page with the 2advanced url at the top. I have to reload the site to fix. I'm guessing the "flash object" occupying the window space is crashing.
I've also had this happen while I'm focussed on another tab. Eg. Load youtube in a new tab while 2advanced was open in another (2A has music playing in the background). The moment I opened a youtube video the 2A flash object crashed (and the music stopped), giving me a blank page when I went back to the tab.
I've seen the flash object in Youtube die whilst viewing another tab, leaving a blank placeholder when I come back to the youtube page.
Scrolling up and down in the 2A homepage still causes it to crash and disappear too.
Fullscreen, I get a 1px white line at the top of the display. Zoom doesn't work fullscreen either.
Lastly, a recommendation: Opera's thumbnail previews that occur in Ctrl+Tab and also as tooltips for the tabs has a delay while rendering the thumbnail. It would be much nicer if these thumbnail previews were generated on an idlethread so that they are pre-cached when Ctrl+tab or tooltip previews are needed. The lag is annoying, particularly with Ctrl+tab.

"For the people that don't check for updates to the blogpost after they read it already:
'If you do not want to install a weekly release but continue running version 9.1, you can change the "DefaultDepth" option to 16 in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, as this will also work around the problem.'"
Is the above statement specific to Linux, or also applicable to Windows and other platforms?

when dragging a tab to the secondary monitor the window is opened on the primary monitor...should be obviously on the secondary. Also the mail panel is not available when just registered for RSS without valid mail account.
BTW I have a few whishes - are there any plans for:
* saving an using email templates
* editing HTML mails
* smart card support/digital signature
* full IMAP support
Happy Easter
