Hello,

I can't launch the web browser on Ubuntu 23.10 because I'm getting an error. :
opera: error while loading shared libraries: libffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

The issue occurred after updating to Ubuntu 23.10. The browser was installed from a .deb file. I've tried reinstalling, disabling AppArmor, running it as root, but the same error persists. Any ideas for a solution?

@maf2 try sudo chmod 755 -R {opera installation directory} and/or sudo chown $USER -R {opera installation directory}

@mardiyah I changed the permissions for the directories.
sudo chmod 755 -R /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/
sudo chown $USER -R /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/

Still I got error:

opera: error while loading shared libraries: libffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

Any ideas ?

$ ldd $(which opera)

look up its dir.

$ ls -l

as latest opera it's in lib_extra/ in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/
