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.

Hi @zibi1981, and what if you launch the Opera in a "normal" terminal session, and with the switch as follows: usr/bin/opera --disable-gpu-sandbox, does it change anything?

@pindos The version is present on the ftp servers here, but it seems the issue is still not fixed in this one.

@l33t4opera Opera version 66.0.3515.103 is not fixed - that's for sure. Only running with --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox switch does the job, but to prevail security vulnerabilities I use Firejail, as advised by many people.

The other option - running Opera with --disable-gpu-sandbox also seems to do the job.

@zibi1981 I see. I proposed it, because disabling the sandbox only for GPU looks to be a little safer - and only as a workaround to not having downgrading the glibc stuff, until the time the issue will be probably fixed in one of upcoming versions.

@zibi1981 make sure to enable Firejail system wide and also incorporate apparmor to make it bullet proof.

@zibi1981 Sorry. I missed it. I looked for it at the end ftp list. Yes, the link is present there.
