Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to report an issue with Opera Developer on Linux Fedora, installed via SNAP.
After updating to revision 414, the application no longer functions properly.
When attempting to launch it through the terminal, I encounter the following error:
[17994:17994:1117/172524.873104:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc:197] Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2) [17994:17994:1117/172524.873136:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/ozone_platform_wayland.cc:282] Failed to initialize Wayland platform [17994:17994:1117/172524.873150:ERROR:ui/aura/env.cc:257] The platform failed to initialize.

I rebooted this morning on Ubuntu, and the snap package is no longer operational..
Starting at menu or dock and other than the icon flashing for a second (system reacting to click) nothing actually opens.
If started at terminal I get
guiverc@d7050-next:~$ opera [9817:9817:1126/105334.812046:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc:197] Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2) [9817:9817:1126/105334.812086:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/ozone_platform_wayland.cc:282] Failed to initialize Wayland platform [9817:9817:1126/105334.812118:ERROR:ui/aura/env.cc:257] The platform failed to initialize.

snap infodetail does imply it updated)I'm using Ubuntu resolute.

Further to my last post... (it's not visible so needing approval I gather), the same [Opera] app is now working perfectly...
I logged out of my Wayland (Ubuntu Desktop/GNOME) session and into an Xorg session (LXQt on same install/box), and on the same machine, same software versions (No updates applied), Opera is now working perfectly...
I could login to other sessions if helpful; but error message does imply (to me) it's related purely to Wayland session; what I wasn't using yesterday, or now. Many users have only Wayland sessions on their installs.
(I'm using Ubuntu resolute), updates applied 3 times per day.

I had the same problem with opera 124.0.5705.42 that just came out. Was able to run it using --ozone-platform=x11 flag, but im not gonna do that every time so i reinstall the older version and it's working normally. Hope they'll fix it...

Same problem here with the stable version. Stopped working a few hours ago. Using Ubuntu 25.10 and snap.

same problem here. Definitely a broken release.

ijpet last edited byI can confirm. Snap opera-stable broke with the latest update to v124. I get the same error messages as the users above me. The snap crashed with the same wayland init error.
As of now we can't even use the .deb version because that one also broke with the update to v124. There seems to be a larger problem. I wonder how this passed the internal QA.
