Launch it from a terminal and check what messages it prints as output there...

I get the same error as you, plus a couple more, but opera still lauches in les than 1 sec.
Try disabling all your addons and hardware acceleration as well.

I tried this command $opera --disable-extensions to disable addons but again I waited 30 - 45 seconds. I don't get any other errors.
How can I view opera logs if exist.

It's the time for Opera to show up? Or it's the time for it to be ready to use?

Maybe you can use some tool to measure the loading time and see what is taking so long.

The problem happens with a clean profile?

You need to rename the current profile directory. Check menu > Help > about Opera for the path.

I think opera should include a switch like this one.

chromium --temp-profile

Self explanatory I guess and a life saver in situations like this one. The only thing you have to do before running it is to close any chromium instance that is running.
