I have installed Opera 12.16 Build 1860 on Linux Mint and I need to run it as a different user in order to use iptables -m owner module on it.
The commands i have tried:
sux user1 opera;
sudo user1; xhost localhost; opera;
gksudo -u user1 opera;
sudo -u user1 opera;
But all those commands just return to the shell and do nothing, no errors or warnings show, opera doesn't open and "ps aux | grep opera" shows nothing. I tried adding -display 0:0 and it does the same. If I replace "opera" with "firefox" or any other command it runs fine.
How can I run opera as a different user? Or add some verbosity to make it show why is not opening?

Just found that if i create the user using the linux mint "User Accounts" GUI, then it works fine. What could be different from using
addusercommand?
