I am running Gentoo 2005.1 on 3 systems -- two Thinkpads (an old 600x and a G41) and a dual-processor desktop system. Opera 8.51 just disappears periodically, perhaps 4 or 5 times during the course of a business day; this behavior occurs on all three systems. I can't provide any UI gestures that lead to the crashes -- I have not noticed a pattern. I did run a recent version of Opera, I think it was 8.50, on Ubuntu 5.04 prior to installing Gentoo on that system, and had no problems. I realize that's not much info -- different Opera version, old Ubuntu. I may be able to test 8.51 on Ubuntu Breezy and, if so, I will let you know the results. emerge --info Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.66GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl eds emboss encode esd exif expat fam foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif glut gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml imlib ipv6 jpeg kde lcms libg++ libwww mad mikmod mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl spell ssl tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
I don't think this is a Gentoo-specific problem. I just ran Ubuntu Breezy on one of my machines and installed Opera 8.51 there. I left Opera running on that system with a couple of tabs open and observed the same crash. No core files that I can find. I will report to the Opera folks, and I'm changing the status to 'upstream', which I presume is the correct status (there is no explanation of the meaning of 'upstream' if you click the 'resolution' link just to the left of the 'changing resolution to' pulldown, so I'm guessing it means that there's a bug, but not yours)? /Don Allen
Thanks, closing.
