Well, i hope someone in here uses Opera as their browser hehe.
Well the problem is this, sometimes when im browsing and open dont know, 3 or more tabs, my opera just hangs and freezes. Screen turns white and theres no way to close it other than right-click close several times until it shows an error dialogue asking to terminate program.
Hope someone can help me
Thanks
Hmm, i don’t use it normally,only have it for test purposes,but, it seems to be ok here, just opened 7 tabs & it is working fine

I use Opera all of the time for browsing and e-mail, and don’t have that problem. Which version are you using? Versions from 9.0 and before 9.5 had memory issues in some cases when used via VNC, but if you aren’t doing anything like that with multiple machines or virtual machines, my only suggestion would be that you try another video driver, if one is available for your video hardware.
Cheers, Tony.
im using latest Opera available 9.62
Im using latest ATI graphic drivers. 8.52.3 as it says on CCC
The error said something like PID=24473
dont got a clue what that is though.
I could go back and use firefox, but i like opera the most
PD: I read somewhere that it could be a JAVA problem, not sure though
we have had exactly the same problem as you, with Opera; and we have progressively allowed YaST to upgrade; and so like you we are up to 9.62; as upgrades become available; it just seems much less stable than firefox when you go loading up the tabs; we have taken to regarding it as a curious foible; and use the “kill” icon to shut it down; but some background processes continue; and opening it again seems to leave a weakened product; that is only cleansed by closing the computer down for the night
c’est la vie?
This problem seems to be isolated.
I have no issues with Opera on either of my machines.
Perhaps it is hardware related. I was wondering what if any similarities exist between users reporting the issue.
Well if its any help ill post my pc spec:
CPU: AMD Phenom 9500 X4
Video: ATI HD2600xt
Memory: 2 GB Corsair DDR2
Motherboard: MSI K9A2 CF (latest bios)
at least its good to know im not alone with this problem 
thanks for your help !!
I was just checking my ATI graphics driver and tired to install 8.10
This is what it says on the log:
initializing…
kernel includes at /usr/src/linux/include not found or incomplete
file: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to compile kernel module - please consult readme.
check your kernel-source ver. matches the current kernel
Opera can hang for around 30sec and not respond, if you then click the X KDE/Gnome will report Opera not responding and if you want to terminate it.
It seems to be related to operapluginwrapper (you can see it use a lot of cpu power) which runs Flash stuff I think, if the operapluginwrapper does not respond for 30sec then opera will ignore it and continue to work. Something operapluginwrapper will be killed other times you can see it running without parent using up 50% cpu
well that is in my pc anyways… if it happens its with flash pages
that could well be it; when we load up several tabs; with flash content; it “seizes up” as one right clicks on a further website, and selects “open in new tab”: it spits the dummy and seizes at that moment;
(and we have the same kernel-source and kernel; )
Did a Yast update of the graphics driver and the problem seem to have dissapeared (hope so hehe)
