@opera-qa-team: same thing as @thelamer
The Linux APT .deb for opera-stable (specifically) is failing on install due to:
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/bin/opera-stable 120 \ --slave /usr/share/man/man1/x-www-browser.1.gz x-www-browser.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/opera-stable.1.gz update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser gnome-www-browser /usr/bin/opera-stable 120 \ --slave /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-www-browser.1.gz gnome-www-browser.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/opera-stable.1.gz-- which tries to link
/usr/bin/opera-stableas/usr/bin/{x,gnome}-www-browser. Since the binary is/usr/bin/opera(sans-stable), this fails.I note that it fails despite the priority 120 being lower than other choices (which means it will never in fact need to follow the path you've supplied). This seems like a tiny bug in update-alternatives(1), fwiw.
This should be fixed by changing the code to tell it to link
/usr/bin/opera. You could also actually rename the binary, but if you do that, there will be many other changes elsewhere in your packaging, so I wouldn't go that way.Meanwhile, your code also has a few other anomalies in this area. The postinst scripts for opera-developer, opera-beta, and opera-stable all give the same priority of 120. Other browsers give a higher priority to their 'stable' branch and successively lower for less stable branches.
And you instruct it to link man pages which do not in fact exist. This apparently doesn't bother
update-alternativeseven if your candidate is the winner, oddly enough. -

A simple workaround for this install issue:
cd /usr/bin; sudo ln -is opera opera-stable.This can be done before the install; or after a failed / partial install. Then run
apt reinstall opera-stableto finish. -

Now that my Linux version has successfully installed, I did have to update the location for the lib_extra folder.
My libffmpegDOTso from September still seemed OK, but I updated it anyway, from: https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/releases/latest -

@bbildman: Hi, thanks for the feedback, we will investigate the issue. So this happened after update to v122? Is it only about your old SpeedDials, or also newly added? What icons can you see when you go to opera://bookmarks -> folder Speed Dials? Are they OK or also changed?
I got so frustrated with it, I opened all the blank Speed DIal icons and just uploaded a new icon (Set Cistom Image)...of course now I have icons in all. However I have one icon that I did not change, and opening it in opera://bookmarks displays the same blank icon as before. SO it's not just the SPeed Dial page it also with the opera://bookmarks page

@opera-qa-team: in every other browser youtube notifications works good for me so it has to be some serious bug in Opera

Hi, i dont know if first comment entered.
Again, today already update the snap version with version ended in 70 and it is not working.
this is the second time that you broke snap version, not to mention that using deb version would be useless since it cannot run videos, because cannot find the path to ffmeg or snap chromim-ffmepg.
I am using ubuntu 24.04.3, gnome version, using wayland.
when run in terminal by writting opera, this is what is showing on terminal:

For that error at least, see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/apps-from-snap-cannot-access-usr-share-libdrm-amdgpu-ids/31672 for a discussion.

@burnout426:
hi, in previous versions i did not have this problem.
i did my research and up to opera team again to fix this.
"his issue has been previously documented in Firefox and other snap applications, where the fix involved modifying the snap's snapcraft.yaml to bind the file from the GNOME platform snap" -> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1710326this is not first time opera mess up the snap version, last time running videos was broking, even with chromium-ffmep snap.
So please Opera team fix this.
Thank you.
