Opera One(version: 124.0.5705.42) not playing many videos. Having other problems with it also. Doesn't retain passwords, have to sign-in on everything now. Doesn't retain past tabs of last session when reopening Opera. This last Opera update has to be the worst one experienced in years! Been using and liked Opera going back to Opera version 3.50. This newest version is just too quirky. Am tempted to move on to another browser If Opera can't fix things.

The last Opera version worked great and was trouble free.

Hello, same problem here after the last update from snap v. 124.0.5705.42 (stable version).
Trying to launch from terminal:

usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids: No such file or directory
[16571:16571:1126/203407.739781:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc:197] Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2)
[16571:16571:1126/203407.739864:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/ozone_platform_wayland.cc:282] Failed to initialize Wayland platform
[16571:16571:1126/203407.740030:ERROR:ui/aura/env.cc:257] The platform failed to initialize.  Exiting.

So, i can't use opera anymore... u.u

It seems that its working on Xserver just fine. I ended up installing opera from the deb file downloaded from the site to use it with Wayland. The snap is not working on Wayland

@Malfet

use this:

sudo snap revert opera

this reverts to the last version and it works fine

@UltraVio1et Thanks, I wish I knew this earlier! I already tried to re-install it, also using deb and flatpak, there is nothing to revert to anymore.

@alexbcrow7 Also deb is not working for me. It gives installation errors. It seems to be ridiculous that a browser can not even be installed.

So I could download and install snap from 410 version. It's not ideal, but might work as a temporal solution

wget https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/AljMvoQbHtnnrka00lIoxHJ6Qhfn0X8m_410.snap
sudo snap install --dangerous AljMvoQbHtnnrka00lIoxHJ6Qhfn0X8m_410.snap

Ok, they managed to fix snap, however there are lots of other issues appearing now. Bitwarden extension stop working, the settings for speed dial are gone. I do not know what the hell is going on with Opera team :(((
