@edsonmartim I'm one of the users, so it's not up to me to decide what to do with this issue. You will need to wait untill someone from the Opera decides what to do about it, and perhaps there will be some changes/fixes on that matter from the Opera side.
You may also file a report about this bug, using Opera's bug report wizard, which most probably will speed up the things on this regard.

I agree that it is not up to us, users, to solve this problem, because we lack the deep knowledge of the platform and its viability, but I believe that the above will lead the developers to check the situation and take the appropriate measures, and so we hope and believe that the do it.

Note: I have already reported to the Opera Bug website about this problem. I believe that now we can only wait for a solution so that, in the near future, inconveniences like this no longer happen.

The Vivaldi Browser team that had the same problem solved this situation in yesterday's update.

@edsonmartim Thanks, yes, that's exactly the problem

You can find old packages here: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/

glibc 2.30-3
lib32-glibc 2.30-3

If you don't want downgrade packages, as workaround launch opera - 'opera --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox'

Opera needs to be synced against google-chrome-stable-80.0.3987.87 to fix it from crashing with glibc 2.31.

@edsonmartim No they didn't. This version of Vivaldi is still crashing on my fully updated Arch Linux.

@krysys2008 Running Opera with "--disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox" switch didn't help in my case.

vivaldi-stable-2.11.1811.33 is working for us on PCLinuxOS.

In arch you can downgrade back to glibc 2.30 or you can try to delete your ~/.cache/vivaldi folder. According to a forum post on the vivaldi forum 66.0.3515.103 is working on arch like it is on PCLinuxOS.

@zibi1981 currently running with sandbox disabled but I use Firejail so am not worried.

I have updated to 66.0.3515.103 some days ago. I experience no problems with it on LinuxMint 19.3 and Win10 machines. But I noticed that there is no such version on ftp.opera.com. Other machines running Windows 10 at my work don't find this update. They use 66.0.3515.95, and I get "Opera is up to date" message on them. May be the 103-version is buggy.

Hi @pindos, it looks to be the problem so far only for Arch Linux (and based on it other distros), with incompatible glibc version.

On Arch installing Firejail from Community repository

sudo pacman -S firejail

and then running Opera with

firejail opera --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox

seems to do the job for now, as a workaround.
