      Hi,

      I have encrypted partition (LUKS) mounted in fstab (password is at boot time). I would like to move cookies and cache location to dir on this partition. How to change this?

      Edit: In fact I would like to keep everything (history etc) on that partition

      Regards

        Solved by creating symlink in ./config/opera to folder on my encrypted partition:

        • Close Opera
        • Copy your current /home/(USER)/.config/opera to encrypted destination
        • Wipe / shred /home/(USER)/.config/opera
        • Create symlink: ln -s /home/(USER)/.config/opera path_to_folder_on_encrypted_partition
        • Run Opera

          @dibo1984:

          Create symlink: ln -s /home/(USER)/.config/opera pathtofolderonencrypted_partition
          

          I think you mixed the order; it should first be the target, then the link name (including the path to it).

          EDIT: First now I see you answered your own question, but I guess this info can be useful for other users 😉
