I have a problem with Aria, the button can't be add, it's normal?
It only appears in the address bar.

Why is the Linux release after 2 days still unavailable from the repository? This really should be automatically pushed on release.

"Update."
Slowly I turned...
Another stolen hour of my time.
Opera, as soon as I figure out how to block your pesky updates I will do so.
Or maybe just go back to Firefox.

@history411: Hello, thanks for sharing. Updates are important for the proper functioning of the browser, they contain bugfixes for issues reported also from Users, so we always suggest to have the newest version.

@bbildman: Hi, thanks for the feedback, we will investigate the issue. So this happened after update to v122? Is it only about your old SpeedDials, or also newly added? What icons can you see when you go to opera://bookmarks -> folder Speed Dials? Are they OK or also changed?

After the latest browser update to version 124.0.5705.42, the pre-filled login feature stopped working. I have my logins saved in the browser and I haven't made any changes there. However, now when I want to log in to a URL where I have my login details saved, neither the login nor the password are pre-filled as they used to be, and what's more, when I enter my login, the password is not automatically filled in either. When I go to a specific URL, the key is missing in the top right corner, even though the URL is in the list of saved logins. Please note that this mainly concerns URLs that contain IP addresses, e.g., https://192.168.1.2.

The deb is busted since this release:

11.74 Setting up opera-stable (124.0.5705.42) ...
11.82 update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/opera-stable doesn't exist
11.85 dpkg: error processing package opera-stable (--configure):
11.85  installed opera-stable package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2

Tested on bookworm, Trixie, and Noble. Related to renaming the package but the deb contents do not contain that bin.

./bin
./bin/opera

The problem is specifically in your postinst in the deb:

EOF
            chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/opera-browser
            # Run once now to add Opera's pgp key to apt's keyring
            /etc/cron.daily/opera-browser > /dev/null 2>&1


        update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/bin/opera-stable 120 \
                --slave /usr/share/man/man1/x-www-browser.1.gz x-www-browser.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/opera-stable.1.gz
        update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser gnome-www-browser /usr/bin/opera-stable 120 \
                --slave /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-www-browser.1.gz gnome-www-browser.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/opera-stable.1.gz
        ;;

esac

Because the name was changed your deb build env looks like it templates that name into the post install hooks and every deb is failing now.

Linux release is now available but fails to properly install. Please fix this immediately. I may remind you that this is calld stable, not beta or developer.

@ironbone Thanks. It opens with that command but how can I keep it opened without closing the terminal?
