@nuiin I confirm what you say, the same thing happens to me in Ubuntu 22.04, I will report it too, I have installed the snap version and the .deb, and both do the same, the only one that does not is the snap beta. I also tried it on a minipc with ubuntu 20.04, and the same thing happens, click the opera icon and skip/load 2 instead of 1. The worst thing is that according to snapcraft.io this 103 is an edge version, but for the opera web is stable, for the ubuntu software store, which is itself a snap store, both the stable and edge is the 103, and for the ppa (.deb) is the 103 also a stable. It is not understood at all.

I confirm that Nuiin's solution, it works, just follow the steps he said "reset Opera keeping my personal data (Opera icon -> Update & Recovery -> Recover -> "Keep my data and only reset Opera settings" click Recover button)". I just did it with my opera from .DEB and with my opera from SNAP, using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. With this you don't lose any data or bookmarks, you just have to reconfigure the browser to your liking and that's it. Of course if you choose to delete data and settings, if you have to start from scratch. So, before doing Nuiin's solution I have exported my passwords and speed dialers, you never know. What I have noticed, is that thanks to this solution, another bug that is reporting, which is that it takes a long time to clear the history, even if you have only opened a tab, has been solved.

Postadata: Now I just hope that in the next stable this solution does not cause problems, in theory it should not because it is a reset.

Thanks Nuiin, for the solution, you saved my day.

Best regards.

Hi I have the latest version 86.0.4363.23, on Ubuntu (Linux) 18.04, and until yesterday I had the latest version of 85, everything was fine. But now except for Youtube, I can't play any video from any website. Whether news, entertainment etc.... Moreover, I usually watch Netflix from the browser and I get the Widevine Content Decryption Module error:

Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 4.10.2449.0
Status - Components not up to date
Check for updates

And this is the result it gives. The thing is that I refresh the page and it says that the components are up to date, but I hit it again and it says that they are not.

Never in all that I've been using opera, which is since versions 30 and something, I had never happened. And no matter how I install it, in ubuntu (either snap or deb). It doesn't fix or work.

It is something desperate, that every time there is an update, in one of them, always happens this problem of videos in Ubuntu (at least in my case).

This is like having a browser in beta or test version, but it doesn't work. And I deleted cokies, I went to browse without add-ons and also in private mode... and there is no way.

You can't do anything that has to do with video...

Best regards

Postadata:

Every how many days an update comes out, because the 86.0.4363.17 was perfect, but this .23 final, this to be polished... at least in linux (ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04)

Any solution?

@burnout426: In snap format, it's fixed, in .deb it's still the same. Thanks for the information.

I confirm that it is not possible to upload anything, in any web site either mega or similar or even outlook itself with attachments. I use ubuntu 22.04 lts. I think it must be that this version is based on the 116 latest version of chromium, and not the current 117. Anyway.

Hi, I don't know if it happens to everyone, but in Linux Ubuntu 22.04, when I click on the icon to open the browser, instead of opening only one, it opens two, (As if you give several clicks to the icon, I only give one). My question is a bug in this version, I say, because the first few days to have it, ie came out on October 2, we are at 5, well those first two days, did not do what to get two, to click the icon to open it.

If someone knows something, I would appreciate the answer.

Best regards.

@leocg What happens is that if I do it from Help in the dropdown, it opens the page where the version is displayed and starts to think looking for updates, but after less than 1 minute, it stops doing it and says that it is updated, without having changed anything, I mean the version.

If I do it from settings directly, I click on check for updates, it starts to think, but after less than 1 minute, it returns that it is already updated, but the version remains the same.

When I say the same version is that it stays with the 104 finished in 54 and says that there is no new one and that it is updated.

For the love of God, as the snap is packed in Opera, this 107, is still the same as the last 106 finished in 70, videos are still not seen in Ubuntu 22.04.03 Lts, but in Windows 11, if they work perfectly. Do me a favor, I don't want to offend, but improve the snap, so that it works as it should, and the same with the .deb.

Don't talk to me about ffmpeg, because I have them all updated, so that's not it.

Best regards.

@jedi-am Certainly it already works again the thing of the videos, and it continues happening as it happened in the past, that is to say, it is fixed with the later versions, without need to add, ffmpeg of other places, but if it serves to others that option that they use it without problem. In theory having the chromium ffmpeg installed from snap, should go all right, without the need to go to the ffmpeg that have been discussed.

A greeting.

Postadata: Now let's see if the streak is maintained and the next one is not messed up again with the videos.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould and @leocg and:

For everyone whether they are windows or Linux (Ubuntu and other flavors), it has been updated to the latest version, that is:

Opera One(version: 111.0.5168.25) based on chromium stable:
Chromium version:125.0.6422.143

I just updated on windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.04 Lts, on Ubuntu via snap and I had no problems with video playback (I am using chromium ffmpeg 0.1 stable snap version from May 16, 2024). Link: https://snapcraft.io/chromium-ffmpeg

As for the emojis there is no problem when closing the windows with the X, they are still there but they don't bother me, maybe they overload the browser if you have a lot of tabs open, but they don't bother me.

As I said in my previous comment, you have to be patient.

Best regards.

Postadata: For those who updated via synpatic or gdebi or via terminal or with the software updater of Ubuntu and other flavors, know that the stable version of opera, is the one from yesterday and not the current one, see the ppa page:

https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/opera (opera-stable 111.0.5168.18) I imagine it will be updated soon be patient.

For more information you can go to the stable web of opera, where is already the 111.05168.25) here: https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/category/stable-2/ and inside there by clicking here: https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2024/06/opera-111/ where you can see the release date of the version today June 12, 2024.

@Opera-QA-Team Sorry for the late reply. Version 132.0.5905.11—the current stable release—is already available on Snap. I can confirm this because I’m using it right now. I’ve included some screenshots so you can see it more clearly. Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it. I’m browsing without any issues.

Please clarify this for Linux. Currently, Snap release 132.0.5905.7, released on May 26th, is stable. Edge Snap release 131.0.5877.116, released today, is also available within the stable branch. Yesterday, 132.0.5905.10 was available in its place, but it was removed. Therefore, Snap users are stuck in limbo, unable to update to the 132 version you just released, which is actually 132.0.5905.11. This 131.0.5877.116 version uses Chromium 147. Show some respect to Linux users, especially those of us who use Ubuntu in my case 22.04.05 LTS. Snap packages also exist; you've only released the deb package 132.0.5905.11 correctly for Ubuntu, but the snap package, which uses 131.05877.116 as its edge version, is also missing. Could a moderator or Opera administrator explain this chaos with Snap Opera for Ubuntu? I say this with kindness, but I don't want to break my system. I've added screenshots to make it clearer.

The stable versions of Opera 131, from version 54 to the current one ending in 97, have several serious bugs in their snap (Ubuntu 22.04.05 LTS in my case) that should be fixed: 1) They fill the GNOME logs with thousands of messages with the error "Invalid RE2 repetition size, invalid perl operator"; 2) This causes a large amount of disk space to be consumed in a single session, as can be seen with the commands sudo journalctl --disk-usage and sudo ls -lh /var/log/journal/*/*.journal; and 3) In version 74, a very serious error occurred when updating the chromium-ffmpeg snap: "at least file with resources (.pak) is corrupted, please reinstall opera". Luckily, shutting down and restarting my PC fixed it for me. // In version 131 ending in 24, none of these bugs were present. I don't recommend using sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=1d to fix the issue of thousands of messages mentioned in point 1, because it could break your current session. I would like these problems to be reviewed by both you and the Snap Opera packagers. I hope all these issues will be resolved in version 132, which will use Chrome's 148 engine.

For people who use the Opera ppa (. deb), I have a mini pc, I have that ppa, and if you see the thread of my answers in OPERA 115 stable, yesterday I put, that in Ubuntuupdates, came out that the latest stable was the 114 ended in 235, well, as I have that PPA on the mini pc (Not on my main tower pc), yesterday when I clicked on the software and updates button, it threw a result that there was a new version of Opera, and what was the surprise, that instead of putting me the 115, it put the 114 ending in 235 (The one in snapcraft. io/opera says that is an edge/lastest stable, and that came out on 28 when the 27 in the stable branch, is the 115) and was updated to 114, but I was even more surprised and angry, when I opened opera updated to that 114 ending in 235, and go help -- and then About Opera, when checking the updates, tells me that there is a version that is 115, but then I go back to software and updates to see if the ppa gives me back an update for Opera, and it turns out that it does not. That is the deb version, how wrong, and I will have to remove that ppa, download the official Opera deb from your page, and install it all again ppa and opera. deb, but it may not work, because it will surely jump a new update that will be again the 114, because the last stable deb is the 114 ends in 235, so it is a mess, which should be corrected.

At the moment in snapcraft.io at this time that I am writing there have been no changes and continues to put the following:

Channel Version Published
latest/stable 115.0.5322.68 27 November 2024
latest/edge 114.0.5282.235 28 November 2024

Let's hope it stays that way and there is no update. Anyway, in order not to keep you in anguish, I will be checking throughout the day, to see whether or not snapcraft.io jumps a new version and hopefully not the 114. The only thing that occurs to me if you use snap, and Ubuntu in my case 22.04.5lts and / or higher versions, is that in the terminal do not write snap refresh and then give enter, because that will update all packages, but that you use the following command
snap refresh --list , that will give you a list of all the pending to update, (if there is nothing it will tell you something like this that all the packages or snaps are updated), if by chance it gives you a list and opera appears, ignore it and update the rest. You will have to go one by one, that is to say using this command for each snap, the command is

snap refresh and then the name of the program

There is also another option now that I think about it, but it is a bit more risky which is to do a revert. That is to say by mistake you will be updated, you only have to do this in the terminal write this command

sudo snap revert and the program name

or if you want to go to the specific version

sudo snap revert program name --revision and then revision number

How to get the revision number by typing in the terminal

snap list --all

It is a number that goes in brackets ()

By doing that the update will be reverted and will be stopped and if you don't want to keep it because it takes up space you can delete it for example

sudo snap remove opera --revision 347

That way you keep the version you want.

As for what @neewuser said in my case with the 115 I have not had the problem and I have had several tabs open being several of them Youtube, and I have a team with a processor and motherboard 2018, which is my main pc.

@BestCodes Thanks for the clarification, but I just looked at Ubuntuupdates (The deb package part), for opera-stable and see what they have put:

Most recent updates in Opera PPA (Stable)
Date Package Version
2024-11-28 12:08:17 UTC opera-stable 114.0.5282.235
2024-11-27 13:08:29 UTC opera-stable 115.0.5322.68
2024-11-25 11:08:24 UTC opera-developer 116.0.5362.0
2024-11-21 13:08:19 UTC opera-stable 114.0.5282.222
2024-11-19 13:08:18 UTC opera-developer 116.0.5356.0

do you see any sense in them?

I can understand snapcraft, it goes a bit over your head, but to .deb. A few hours ago .deb, just said there was a stable for Opera, now it's the same as Snap.... Anyway. At the moment I did not jump, I had Opera snap-stable update, but seeing the .deb, I would not be surprised that jumped soon and went from 115 to 114 for this update.

And if I use the stable version of opera in snap:

opera 115.0.5322.68 346 latest/stable opera-software✓ -

There you have it taken from the command terminal when you put snap list --all

Who understands it I don't.

@daria19: Thanks for your answer, it's the same thing I was saying to @bestcodes, I don't understand this mess of versions in the snap packaging for Opera.

@bestcodes: Thank you for your response. What I was referring to, I should have said, is that I always use the stable branch in snap for opera, (I don't have edge, developer or beta) and that's why I find it strange, in how they move in snapcraft.io to say when you hit the drop down for opera snap and underneath is the green install box and you get :

Show architecture

amd64
Channel Version Published
latest/stable 115.0.5322.68 Yesterday
latest/edge 114.0.5282.235 Today

I put you that the edge is lower than the stable one.

If I in the terminal (command console) of ubuntu 22.04.5 lts I put
snap info opera

I get this:

latest/stable: 115.0.5322.68 2024-11-27 (346) 180MB -
latest/candidate: ↑
latest/beta: ↑
latest/edge: 114.0.5282.235 2024-11-28 (347) 177MB -
installed: 115.0.5322.68 (346) 180MB -

what is in brackets is the version or revision as it can be that the edge has the 347 and is a lower version than the stable one. The worst thing will be, that a few hours, will tell me that I have a new version of opera snap, to update and I will skip the 114.0.5282.235 ie the edge, that if you see the arrows, for snapcraft and snap is already beta and is a candidate. I do not understand it should have been the other way around, that the edge that they say came out today, should have come out yesterday and the 115, today .... That's why I asked, if anyone knows what is going on if they compiled 115 wrong and that's why they are pulling it back, for to get this edge

I am a Linux user, specifically Ubuntu 22.04.5 Lts, and in particular I use the snap package.

Yesterday the Opera snap package was updated to 115, but today I wake up and see, that in snapcraft.io

https://snapcraft.io/opera , I see the following:

Options to install this snap

amd64
Channel Version Published
latest/stable 115.0.5322.68 Yesterday
latest/edge 114.0.5282.235 Today

What I don't understand, is how the latest/edge is inferior to the latest/stable, and normally, when the stable version does not match the edge (from the stable branch), there is an update on the same day, that is, today, I would go back to 114, instead of staying with 115.

Someone knows what is happening with the snap version, because the .deb version does not say anywhere that this supposed 114.0.5282.235 exists. And I have seen the same on your website in desktop versions, maybe it is a phantom update, or there has been something wrong with the snap version 115, and now they are going to make a revert, back to 114, and in two or three days, back to 115. Since all the time I've been using snap, it is the first time you can see a revert in a stable version. In this case latest/edge, stable version.

I know that the main thing is windows, but this should have more control at least in Linux (Ubuntu, debian etc). It is not normal that .deb, says that 114.0.582.235, does not exist, and that snap says that it does, and that it is a stable version.

Even if you are on Ubuntu (Linux) and use the snap format, there is this version I wonder:

112.0.5197.44

I say this because if you search in snapcraft.io (https://snapcraft.io/opera) , you get that 112 ending in .44 with the latest edge, but nowhere appears even in the deb format.

Does anyone know anything about it or has been discussed in windows about that version?

Best regards.

The problem of the videos in Opera in particular in Ubuntu, is simple to fix, you have to have the Chromium-ffmpeg snap updated. With it you will see all the videos without problems. What happens is that sometimes the snap /deb etc of opera is not updated as fast in linux as in Windows, hence the lag and therefore the videos do not work. Apart from looking if the Youtube videos work is not always the most advisable thing to do. I go directly to newspaper videos (using html5 etc) or television websites or platforms, if those work then there is no problem. You can check the browser in this web https://html5test.com there this web analyzes it and tells you if it has this codecs, by default when it happens not to be able the videos, in that web in the multimedia section and inside there video, must be marked with green check mark the codec H264, if it is not the videos not in Opera will not be seen.

In any case not to confuse you.

1. Have the snap or the chromium-ffmpeg package always updated (A few days ago an update came out).
2. Apart from Youtube, check, that you can watch videos in newspapers / online magazines as they use Html5, and also try in TV channels, which have their online version and also streaming platforms, such as Netflix and similar.
   and 3) Test in each new updated version of Opera, the web https://html5test.com that will tell you if H264 is missing.

I hope I can help everyone.

P.S.: Always be patient because they are based on the version of Chrome and usually go one behind.
