@opera-qa-team: I have similar, yet different problem with deb installation on Zorin OS. I have updatedthe package but the browser is still not opening. No errors. Typing in the terminal "opera" renders nothing. Only thing that helped me launch Opera was chnage the executive in /usr/bin/ from "opera" to "opera-stable".

Hello Opera team! I would like to congratulate you on the redesign of the task manager window. it is a tool I utilize regularly and it helps me out a lot whenever some bum cant make a proper website and ends up eating up tons of gigabytes of ram and I have to terminate the tab. this is the second update that garners my interest. it's one of the better redesigns that actually retains functionality and is easy on the eyes and doesnt completely screw over my muscle memory forcing me to relearn the process again (cough cough unlike the picture in picture redesign)


also why does a red bar appear on the bottom of the window then go away when i open the browser and it hasnt finished loading yet? some new loading optimization?

lastly, any updates regarding pinboards? it's a feature I also use and would like it to be less clunky and more smooth and maybe have a little functionality added

@Kilian01 Opera had a bug a bit ago *DNA-123982( where you had to call opera-stable instead of opera to launch Opera, but it was verified fixed in 124.0.5705.30. I'm guessing that an update to a build with the fix doesn't fix the issue.

What happens if you uninstall Opera and remove any traces of it (including "opera", "opera-stable" and any aliases) (you can keep your profile in ~/.config) and then install 125 fresh? Does that sort things out? If so, that might be what users have to do to fix things if they have the issue.

@burnout426: that was fixed in a way that should self-repair successfully on package update.

@kilian01: I see 3 separate sets of issues in your log, unclear which of them might be relevant. First, easiest to fix, the sandbox binary has wrong permissions:

$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-stable
$ sudo chown root opera_sandbox
$ sudo chmod 4755 opera_sandbox

Try after that.

But that is probably actually caused by the 2nd problem: the deb you're installing depends on 4 others, parts of your distro, which are not installed. Because of that it never finished installing, never ran /var/lib/dpkg/info/opera-stable.postinst which would have set up that setuid.

Package libqt5core5a is not installed.
Package libqt5gui5 is not installed.
Package libqt5gui5-gles is not installed.
Package libqt5widgets5 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package opera-stable (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

This not only leaves Opera unconfigured, but also missing libraries it depends on.

dpkg -i is the lowest level package installer. It is not meant to handle package dependencies; those belong to the higher APT subsystem. Try running instead: sudo apt install opera-stable_125.0.5729.21_amd64.deb. This will automatically pull in the packages it depends on.

The 3rd issue is a crash:

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

but that might be caused by the other two issues, so ignore it for now.

@filbo: argh, I failed at formatting the setuid instructions. But, you shouldn't really do that anyway. Just install properly with apt install and the postinst script will handle the setuid.
