Besides the broken release (i'm currently running 99.0.4788.31 on openSuse Tumbleweed), my perception of this forum is it's "user to user" based, with zero Opera techies participating.

The best thing folks can do at this point is tap the Opera menu icon (upper left on my version), then Help -> Report An Issue.

There's also an Update And Recovery option.

Personally, and my experience shows it's better (vs Recovery) to
a) stop Opera
b) rename the:
/home/<your username>/.config/<name of opera install>
(Example: /home/myuser/.config/opera)
to something like:
/home/<your username>/.config/<name of opera install>-backup
(Example: /home/myuser/.config/opera-backup)
c) start Opera

... if it's still broken, it's an Opera issue, and your "saved off" profile is waiting to be used again. So wait for next Upgrade, or downgrade to the working version ... then rename the current
/home/<your username>/.config/<name of opera install>-backup
... back to
/home/<your username>/.config/<name of opera install>

@myswtest I clean all the directories and reinstalled the last opera version and the issue not resolved. I tried install a older version in major release 99.xxx and have the same problem.

So, your newest is Version:99.0.4788.65
No sure the version you reverted back to (?)

For comparison, I'm currently on 99.0.4788.31 (laptop now - not sure about my desktops) and all works fine.

@myswtest I am now using Opera developer version because regular Opera is unusable

But no success

Opera 99 seems to be incompatible with latest libffmpeg.so (0.77.0)
If you're using https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine simply re-run "fix-opera" in console

I'll republish 0.77 after opera 100 release, so do not install it immediately after release, better wait day or two.

@styen Yes, I noticed this some days ago after the new libffmpeg.so (0.77.0) was published. So, I rolled back to 0.76.1 version.

@styen I ran fix-opera, this is the output:

$ fix-opera

but it still fails

do I need to update the script before running fix-opera?

@arieljuod only if you use old one that checks https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases for latest ffmpeg

I solved using the chromium-ffmpeg snap, and linking the libffmpeg.so to:

libffmpeg.so -> /snap/chromium-ffmpeg/current/chromium-ffmpeg-108372/chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so*

@styen thanks! I made a PR to fix an issue I had when both opera and opera-beta are installed, but fixing that fixed the script for me and now I can use opera without crashing
