@cybrsaylr One issue per topic please.

@leocg I go there and right at top is a blue circle indicating, 'Sites can ask for your location'.

Lower down in, Allowed to see your location: I see: 'https://www.google.com:443
embedded on any host' is allowed.

Google Maps shows me signed in but I cannot go into 2D or 3D functions like when using Chrome, Firefox or like Opera did in the past.

Running Version: 95.0.4635.37 Opera is up to date

Still having problems. Opera 95 still takes over 2-3 minutes to load and open! Then videos do play but not well or smoothly as they did with Ubuntu 20.04. On 22.04 videos shutter and stunt. Not smooth as they should.

Have Ubuntu 20.04 on another SSD in my system which loads fast and plays all videos great, as they should.

Can anyone help and give me the fix for running Opera as good on Ubuntu 22.04?

@darnok85 said in Opera takes 40-45 seconds to open with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:

@espiros your link does not work but this also helps: https://www.wikihow.com/Install-Opera-Browser-Through-Terminal-on-Ubuntu

yea, that previous link was posted a year ago ... many sites remove content that is stale or not applicable anymore 👍

Well today Google Voice refuses to open, or opens then crashes with Opera 67.

However GV runs fine using Firefox.

@cybrsaylr got to software manager and find simple scan. I use it for my hp. Simple, basic but it works

@leocg said in Is Opera VPN down?:

Opera is connecting to the VPN?

When I turn on VPN is connects and turns blue but when I try and go to any website the VPN turns amber and says "connecting" and "the VPN is unavailable at this time. Opera is resolving the problem"
I'm using Windows 7 in the UK so no problems with any blocking of VPN use.
No idea what's going on.

Will be more descriptive in the future.

Wish this change was not made. The old way was much easier where it was easy to load internal pages from your bookmarks when in private mode.

@leocg yeah, I only wanted to bring the thing to light as it is important for a comparison, not derail the topic 😉

thanks for the precautionary measure though 👍

Was trying to do that but can't. Seems the destination space is locked out & unresponsive and am not able to make any of those changes needed.

From the way I understand it, the libffmpeg.so file that Opera uses doesn't contain the proper codecs for certain videos. This is how I fixed it for KDE Neon (Ubuntu variant). Make sure you have the Chromium browser because this will break Opera in the process and you will need the Chromium libffmpeg.so file. Use this at your own risk.

sudo updatebd (update locate database if you never used it before)

sudo locate libffmpeg.so (shows location of all libffmpeg.so files)

sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/libffmpeg.so (removes the libffmpeg.so that Opera is using, if your results are different from the locate command then use that path)

sudo cp /usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/ (copy the Chromium libffmpeg.so into the Opera directory)

@cybrsaylr You should have the right to choose to have or not have Google on your PC, and yes, it does matter.

If you cannot have your own choice of search engine to start up each tab, what is the point of having it there? It's better just to get rid of Google completely and have nothing. After all, you can easily search DuckDuckGo by making it your default search engine, and typing "your search" directly into your browser address bar, instead of the search bar below.

To get rid of the search box completely and free up more space for links to pages, instead, go to: Opera Settings > Advanced > Browser. At the very top of the page there is the option to "Hide Search Box".

@cybrsaylr If enabling the flag didn't help, most probably an extension won't do either.

@ferossan God bless you peter paker.
Thanks to you finally got my opera playing videos after mor than 1 year trying many things with no success. 0_1549136691550_screenshot.png

SurfEasy, the Opera VPN provider is having server issues and hopes to have them resolved soon.

Search for Memory on the forums search box, maybe some of the many discussions fits in your problem.
