This is why I don't use opera any more, actually. I found this happened all the time and couldn't explain it. Fortunately, you don't have to reboot the system: 1. ALT+F1 to go to your main console 2. login as yourself or root 3. ps ax and look for da opera 4. kill -9 <<PID for OPERA>> your X windows will come back quickly. Given that Konqueror has proven more feature rich and far more stable, and far more free, I've been working with that of late, mostly. mark. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of info@luisneves.com Sent: Friday, September 14, 2001 11:45 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Opera freezes system I have installed the Opera browser from ports (cvsup'ed last week). It's a nice browser but some sites (e.g:http://www.intranetjournal.com/) and some actions like switching browser windows while one of the windows is loading a heavy page make the browser crash and hang the OS. It feels like I'm running MSWindows, I get a "freeze screen", the keyboard becomes completely irresponsive. No keyboard combination (Alt+F2; Ctr+Alt+Backspace;Ctrl+Alt+Del or Ctrl+Alt+Fn) works. The only action possible is to hit the Reset button (very Windows like). I've searched the mailing list archive and there is reference to this problem: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2759317+2761291+/usr/local/w ww/d b/text/2001/freebsd-questions/20010325.freebsd-questions But there is no follow up. As a web developer I must test my work under this browser but every time I use it I'm afraid to sneeze. I am sure that there is something I can do to stop this from happening, I just don't have the knowledge to do it. Any ideias/sugestions?
