Opera-stable desktop for linux had worked well until 23 august when it was updated to version 102.0.4880.16
Now it gets stuck on launch - no window appears on desktop, only there are five opera processes in the background after launch and i have to end them by system monitor (task manager in linux) - they are: opera, opera_crashreporter, opera --type=zygote --crashpad-handler-pid= (two times) and opera --type=zygote --no-zygote-sandbox --crashpad-handler-pid=, respectively
It just can't open every time it is launched - there are some errors coming from the output process in terminal:
[135940:135940:0824/023825.156246:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(286)] GLib-GObject: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed

For me, it eventually opens, but it takes a lot of time. Most passwords forgotten, many extentions do not work. My recommendation is to wait until the next version is available - this one is not worth it
(Linux Mint 21.2)

I run it worry-free, installed as a Flatpak. No issues with the recent upgrade.
Running openSuse Tumbleweed.

@sorenfeodor said in Opera-stable 102.0.4880.16 gets stuck on launch:
@myswtest My opera is from the deb-package, neither flatpak nor snap.
Correct.
I've found that running Opera with a distro-specific install is likely to fail.
(considering this major upgrade path happening)Which is why I install it as Flatpak.
My post was meant to show another option that works.Good luck on a fix!!

The problem persists even with the newer version 102.0.4880.29 - exactly the same way as with 102.0.4880.16

I'm using Opera 102 from deb-package on Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon. I have no described above problems with launching. -

@pindos Thank you; this is quite useful for me to know. Maybe my problem is caused by my extensions; I will try to experiment when the next update pops up

The issue still remains with the next version 102.0.4880.32
The OS is Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) with the latest updates.
The desktop environment is LXQt. -

There is still no change on Debian 11 LXQt platform with the newer, 102.0.4880.33 - it just gets stuck on launch (if the process is aborted in terminal with ctrl-c, all the opera processes, which are 5, close automatically)

Open a command line window and execute "opera".
That might display some error messages you can capture and report back.

@vbnvbn I have a similar setup, Lubuntu with new updates. Maybe it is connected to some used libraries. Please post a version of your GLib package (libglib<something> and gir) as the error is connected to the technology used in those packages. Might help the devs to find some incompatibility.

@ondrejbenus There had been no updates, except the one of opera, before the browser began to behave the way described in the OP. So the issue should come from the code of opera-stable browser version 102 - there had been no such issue with it on that system (with Debian 11 LXQt) before 102 was patched on 23 august during an upgrade procedure. 101 had worked well on the same device up to that day and hour (it still works well - already tested). I think it is most likely related to LXQt.

@vbnvbn Not sure why, but I didn't think about installing an older version. Really works, Thanks for saving me.
For others, you can download an older working version from https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/101.0.4843.58/linux/
Or pick your favorite version here: https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/ -

I have now successfully installed 102.0.4880.40 on Linux Mint 21.2 from deb. I have not changed anything (same extentions as when updating failed 14 days ago), but of course a number of other packages have been updated in the previous 14 days. I have not tried to install opera-updates since 102.0.4880.16 gave me problems.
