 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.

Here is a script I use to create chrome.tcz in TC11.0 (x86_64)

Go to chrome website and download google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
to /home/tc

--- Quote ---cd /home/tc
mkdir /tmp/chrome
ar -x ./*.deb data.tar.xz | sudo tar fxJ data.tar.xz -C /tmp/chrome
rm -f google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
cd /tmp/chrome/usr
sudo mkdir local
cd local
sudo mkdir tce.installed
cd tce.installed
tce-load -iw bash.tcz
sudo bash -c 'echo "#!/bin/sh" > chrome'
sudo bash -c 'echo "if [ ! -e /lib64 ]; then" >> chrome'
sudo bash -c 'echo "        ln -s /lib /lib64" >> chrome'
sudo bash -c 'echo "fi" >> chrome'
sudo bash -c 'echo "if [ ! -h /etc/fonts ]; then" >> chrome'
sudo bash -c 'echo "        ln -s /usr/local/etc/fonts /etc" >> chrome'
sudo bash -c 'echo "fi" >> chrome'
sudo bash -c 'echo "update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime > /dev/null 2>&1" >> chrome'
sudo chmod +x chrome
cd ..
sudo mkdir share
cd share
sudo mkdir applications
cd applications
sudo bash -c 'echo "[Desktop Entry]" > chrome.desktop'
sudo bash -c 'echo "Name=chrome" >> chrome.desktop'
sudo bash -c 'echo "Exec=google-chrome-stable" >> chrome.desktop'
sudo bash -c 'echo "Icon=chrome" >> chrome.desktop'
sudo bash -c 'echo "Terminal=false" >> chrome.desktop'
sudo bash -c 'echo "X-FullPathIcon=/opt/google//chrome/product_logo_64.png" >> chrome.desktop'
sudo bash -c 'echo "Type=Application" >> chrome.desktop'
sudo bash -c 'echo "Categories=Network;WebBrowser;" >> chrome.desktop'

cd /tmp

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.

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?
