Hi everyone,

I've recently installed Opera 33 stable and it keeps crashing. I've tried running it through the terminal and get these error messages,

root@jeffs-desktop:/usr/bin# ./opera

Can anyone help me to solve this please?

It's because you have run opera as root. Don't do that.

In order to fix this, open a terminal and run this command:

sudo chmod -R 775 ~/.config/opera/

which will change back the permissions. Then run opera not as root.
