How do you update Opera?

If you're using Debian or *buntu, Opera should have added its repository to apt and your normal system update should update Opera as well. Other distros - like the Mageia that I use - may have to manually download the update.

@leocg Thanks, 1. I'll stop looking for it. LOL. 4. I'll just hide it, then. Two points taken care of. Much appreciated.

alt text

Okey, I will get used to 🙂

Have another question for linux-guys.

I have bash-script:
#!/bin/bash
echo xclip -o | xargs opera --ignore-certificate-errors
sleep 1
exit 0~~

It's open text at new tab. So cute.
Do you have other hints?

@avl Unfortunately I had to migrate back to Chrome. I was too bored with Opera's not playing simple mp3 file (https://goo.gl/Nt1qSg) animated GIF's in Twitter... Instead of improving the browser Opera's team is making regres. 😞

I'm using opera 50.0.2762.67 stable in ubuntu-14.04 trusty.

None of codecs of /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so works, the opera crashs when I enter in video pages or not detect in youtube test page.

After many tries I found a package that works in archlinux community.
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/opera-ffmpeg-codecs/

I only download it and unpack and copy the libffmpeg to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so

Steps:
Download the package click in link "Download From Mirror"
extract the package
copy the file opera-ffmpeg-codecs-xxxxxxxxxxxx.pkg/usr/lib/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so

Yup! Here we go again..........

Running Opera 50.0.2762.67 - Opera is up to date.
For about a week or so all videos were playing well, right up to today when all vids refuse to play again!

This is getting pretty old. Wish Opera would address this chronic issue and solve it!

@leocg I have the same problem he has, (no flash) and I do have the 62.0.3202 codec installed. It was the only way to get any videos to work at all. I also installed the pepperflash_plugin_nonfree. I also have the latest libpepflashplayer.so from adobe copied into both the $HOME/.local/opera/plugins, and /usr/lib/oprea/plugins.

(tried it in the $Home/... first) And still nothing. PITA. This is such a common problem with Opera... I can't recommend the browser to anyone, quite frankly. Well, I'd tell them it's great, if you like to be frustrated and spend a couple of hours trying to figure out how to get videos to work... (again.)
Why doesn't Opera use kdialog on KDE?

+1 for that! On KDE Plasma save window is almost unusable for me - I can't manually edit path, see your pinned places, see thumbnails or change files view. Chromium implemented support for kdialog: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=40060 Could Opera Team do the same?

You can easily find the answer to the YouTube error in this forum, but your other comment is vague.
