Opera on Indiana (OpenSolaris)

May 11, 2008

I’m not really a full time Opera user but do find it handy for those sites that just wont work on Firefox.

For intel platforms go here and download the pkg.gz from your closest mirror (for Internode customers this is not metered if you select the AU - Internode HTTP or FTP mirror). Sparcies can find the package here.

Once downloaded extract the package by double clicking on it which will open up File Roller. Then cd into the path and type:

pfexec pkgadd -d opera-9.50-20080422.1-static-qt-sol10-intel.pkg

(For Sparc obviously use the correct package name for the Sparc variant)

In my experiencxe on Indiana the icon did not automagically appear in the Applications >> Internet menu. To manually add it in go to System >> Preferences >> Main Menu. Once you have selected the Internet  menu in the left column click on the green New Item button to the right. The Launcher Properties window will open behind the current window for some reason. Go to that window and enter the following details:

Launcher Properties Window

Opera should now appear in the Internet Menu.

And for the obligatory screenshot: see here.
