hotfix 2

By Claudio Santambrogio. Saturday, 7. April 2007, 12:30:15

It's Easter time - but we are busy…

Yesterday we issued a hotfix for a crash on startup caused by a recent update on several Linux distros of libX11, to patch CVE-2007-1667. A few users reported some sideeffects - we have a better fix for you now.

Thanks for all the quick feedback - enjoy the new build, and Happy Easter!

When I try open a http://rzeczpospolita.pl Opera crached... (flash plugin is enabled - when I disable it doesn't crash).

Great! Thanks.

Opera still crashing on http://my.opera.com/dstorey/ .

Anyway, thanks for quick hotfixes.

lvanderree # 7. April 2007, 13:11

The hotfixes are certainly appreciated.

Thanks.

Ps. http://my.opera.com/dstorey/ makes my opera crash too

@adas, @ColKilkenny, @lvanderree: I don't get it, it doesn't crash for me. I got version opera_9.20-20070406.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb. Could anyone please make a simple description of differences between different versions available for intel-linux (I mean, Debian packages)?

What is more, is there any way to obtain the newest version of Opera from Ubuntu repository? I have to manually uninstall (using aptitude) and install (using GDebi) every single release.

Guys, please report a bug and send in a crahslog for crashers.

[r4], Ubuntu repositories do not provide weeklies - they will update the version in the repository once there is a final release.

ColKilkenny # 7. April 2007, 14:41

Crash related to http://my.opera.com/dstorey submitted as a bug-259558.

csant # 7. April 2007, 14:46

ColKilkenny, thanks

Wow, too many posts on this week. You're working so hard.

Tks

Good job. I don´t understand why in GNU/Linux Opera don´t supports NTLM authentication when in Window exists???

@csant

Hey, how about a hot fix for smooth scrolling for the Mac build...that's almost as important as this hotfix2, no?

Turin # 7. April 2007, 21:38

@Salsero_Nash

Design decision. See http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=1596166 for more details on NTLM.

Although this is not my favourite design decision...

luizarmesto # 7. April 2007, 22:52

@Jada0007,

Opera is not supported by mplayerplug-in.

You can try "Gecko MediaPlayer" (http://dekorte.homeip.net/download/gecko-mediaplayer/)

I love the new build. My CPU time is no longer skyrocketing when I view a page with JavaScript animations.

Canvas performance has increased as well. I can now play around with this without a huge CPU usage spike.

rasz # 8. April 2007, 04:00

this fix is a crap, core dumped once an hour on random pages :/

kakabobo # 8. April 2007, 05:11

opera keep crashing upon chinese encoded site.
or is it just me ?

Netegrof # 8. April 2007, 05:52

In my opinion that can´t happen, Opera has to make his own NTLM mechanism, like Firefox. Last I want to mention that the consume of virtual memory is very high compared with other browsers and applications, that has to be smaller than physical memory and in the Opera case is not.

allensaa # 8. April 2007, 09:28

Thankyou Opera for providing this fix! I hope that more people can benefit from this, as I had to use Firefox (which is still good) and Evolution-mail. I couldn't believe how much I missed Opera!

this build crashes on
http://research.microsoft.com/conferences/ICME07/

Kubuntu Feisty Beta
linux 2.6.20-14

can anybody confirm?

kju # 8. April 2007, 14:25

This build (as well as 633) always crashes on my Debian Etch when scrolling down on de.wikipedia.org. If you tell me how to create such a crashlog, i will happily provide it. Please fix this issue, Opera is unusable for me as for now. This sucks.

But it does _not_ crash on both URLs mentioned above. Very strange.
