I just investigate with CC, the second sudo command was needed. Now Opera starts.

The issue is clear. Opera rev 440 now requires the gpu-2404 content snap (for GPU/hardware acceleration support on Ubuntu 24.04), but the slot is not connected.                       
                                                                                                                                                                                         
  Fix:                                                                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                         
  sudo snap install mesa-2404                                                                                                                                                            
  sudo snap connect opera:gpu-2404 mesa-2404                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                         
  Then start Opera normally. This connects the GPU provider that Opera 129 requires.                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                         
  Why this happened: Opera updated to use a new GPU content snap interface (gpu-2404) for better hardware acceleration on Ubuntu 24.04. The snap was updated but the required mesa-2404  
  provider snap wasn't automatically installed/connected.

I confirm. I'm getting so tired of this they release an update without ANY basic checks whether it works or not on Linux system. This is ridiculous.

sudo snap revert opera

saved the day for me

Hey Guys,

Apologies for that issues. Just wanted to tell you, we're aware of this and work on the fixes.

We aim to release new version on snap store, hopefully somewhere next week.
