I'm running TC64 Ver7.2 [never managed to complete installing Ver8],
which has got opera [is it ver 12, I forget? ].
These OLD vesions of opera, handled news/NNTP. I suspect there were
problems: that's why later versions dropped mail & news?
Have any TC users managed mail or news via opera ?
== TIA

Hi labeas,
Why you can't install ver 8?
Yes, TC 8.x (x86_64) has Opera 12.12 in repo.
http://tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86_64/tcz/opera-12.tcz.info

Opera 15 (Blink engine) don't have internal mail or newsgroups support,
because Opera 12.16 (Presto engine) was the last version based on Presto engine.
User interface of Opera 15 (Blink engine) was rewritten completely from scratch.
The developers team responsible for Opera Presto, leave the Opera Software and created their own Vivaldi browser (Blink engine). 

I was using mail function in Opera many years ago, but I prefer web interface nowadays.

Thanks neonix,
 I should not have mentioned Ver 8.
The real question was HOW2 get mail via old version of opera.
WebBased email is a disaster.See how the gmail-clowns have NOW
hacked-to-make-the-headers-scroll-down-with-the-entryListing:
INSTEAD of header-applicable-to-the-whole-screen *ALLWAYS*
accessible at the top; like 1990's software.
I'm hoping that old-opera can do pop & <imap is-it-called?>
 plus NNTP.

Google block support for third part applications in Gmail, this means that you can't log into Gmail usin pop3 or imap on Opera mail. You have to use Webbrowser with Javascript support or dedicated Android app.

Hi neonix

From the beginning I have had problems playing live videos on youtube (only with these).

First I tried with Firefox-ESR and now I am using Vivaldi in TC Plus 11.0 and I still have the same problem. I also tried the Xorg-7-7 installation but it gives me a lot of problems with XVesa.

Maybe I need to have the gst-plugins... but I don't know which ones.

Could you help me with that?

Your choice is  Xorg  or  Xvesa , not both. If you install  Xorg , then the  Xvesa.tcz  entry should be removed from your onboot.lst file.

Rich:

Currently I have 'X' extensions installed this: Xlibs, Xorg-7.7-lib, Xprogs and Xvesa

1) Should I install the rest of Xorg-7.7-*.tcz extensions (and remove Xvesa.tcz) so?. Or should I install only Xorg-7.7.tcz and remove Xvesa.tcz?

2) If everything fails (f.i.the graphic configuration of desktop,etc This case could become my worst nightmare.), how i could restore my backup file?

If you use vivaldi.tcz from the repo, h.264 video won't work. There is a bug in Vivaldi browser that prevents to support h.264 if Vivaldi is installed in /usr/local/vivaldi. It have to be installed in /opt/vivaldi and the libffmpeg.so need to be in /opt/vivaldi/lib. Even if I symlink to /opt/vivaldi it still won't work. I'll try to prepare installation script for vivaldi soon.

If you want to use firefox-esr.tcz with h.264 video you need to install libavcodec.tcz. Both browsers work with Xvesa, but if you need a GPU hardware acceleration you need Xorg.

You have  Xvesa  installed.  Xlibs  and  Xprogs  are dependencies of  Xvesa.  Xorg-7.7-lib  is a dependency of various other programs.

That depends. If you are trying to run programs that require  Xorg , then you need to install it and remove the  Xvesa.tcz  entry
from your  onboot.lst  file. You can use the  Apps  utility to do that.

If you want to try  Xorg:
1. Click on the  Apps  icon.
2. Click  Apps->Maintenance->OnBoot Maintenance
3. Remove  the  Xvesa.tcz  entry.
4. Close the  Apps  utility.
5. Click on the  Exit  icon.
6. Select  Exit to Prompt.
7. Click OK

You are now in the console. Enter:
Code: [Select]
tce-load -wil Xorg-7.7
startx

@neonix or @Rich

It will be OK if I will this ?

Code: [Select]

mv /usr/local/vivaldi/ /opt/

(thus the libffmpeg.so should be in /opt/vivaldi/lib automatically)

ln-s /opt/vivaldi/vivaldi /usr/local/bin/vivaldi


If yes... what about with vivaldi icon from wbar?

Better try this (TC10 and TC11, 32-bit version), if this version will work for you I will prepare script with wbar icon later:
