Recent EOL changes in Linux Kubuntu24.10 forced me to downgrade to 24.04.03 (LTS) I was unable to move forward to kubuntu25.10 because intrafms was not compatible with host. The linux ubuntu "distro-upgrade" flag forced to reinstall Opera desktop, but to my surprise the opera GUI would not launch. Using the cmdlet I see error message "User profile is locked by a session on another computer to prevent corruption" I was befuddled about how to unlock it since no instruction were printed for removing the lock. This is how I unlocked my profile.

1. Logged into old system and removed attached snaps.

   sudo snap remove opera

2. Logged in with Brave_browser to my opera account

https://auth.opera,com/accounts/edit-profile/sessions (cr)

3. scrolled down to connected sessions, and remove all sessions.

• maybe mobile sessions were not interfering but drop all sessions with my user name.

4. Restart Kubuntu24.04.3 (LTS) and launch opera-desktop

   • opera launches 3-sessions. #Is that normal?

5. Import bookmarks because sync has a problem connecting now.

Any advice someone can give on a system upgrade/downgrade while using opera? yes I have cleared cache.
