This will work fine:

Opera fix

@xzero

This is a pity. But a negotiated solution has to be found anyway at some point. Until then, the fix from github works fine. Today I got an update from Opera and the script from github was executed automatically. Everything works very well

@styen

Well, I'll see what I do then. In any case, it would be advantageous if the developers of Opera would test the latest version to see whether it really works correctly before it is distributed all over the world! It's pretty sad when a user has a correctly functioning installation and after the update it no longer works correctly

@styen

Hm...the update function in Opera Menu is not doing anything. So I tried with the terminal using

sudo apt --only-upgrade install

so...

q4os@q4os-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo apt --only-upgrade install opera-stable
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
opera-stable is already the newest version (81.0.4196.60).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
q4os@q4os-desktop:~/Desktop$

It looks as I have to be patiently until Q4OS sends the next Opera update? Or what can I do?

@styen

Thank you, I finally made it

In the description here:

https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine

should still be under "Requirements":

3. git (Is needed to clone the repo) sudo apt install git

https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/install-git#linux

It only needs the commands in point 1. Depending on the distribution with -get or without.

When executing the script you can answer questions and set the script so that it is automatically executed after every update of Opera. Great!

I hope it will work forever and ever ... and if not, someone could turn it into an extension for Opera.

Hi

I got this in the terminal:

q4os@q4os-desktop:~/Desktop$ git clone https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine.git
bash: git: command not found
q4os@q4os-desktop:~/Desktop$

@alobpreis

Yes, it is a problem of Q4OS Trinity desktop, respectively of the app Dolphin Trinity (a special version of Dolphin for Tinity). The problem also exists with other files, for example gnumeric. Opera is perfectly ok

Unfortunately, there is not really a light Linux that works perfectly. Each uses a different desktop and lacks good developers. It's a pity that people don't join forces and create a single light Linux, with a single desktop, but it works correctly. Diversity is a word that is used a lot at the moment. It means that people get lost in fantasies. Or to put it another way, it's a mess! Hundreds of genders, but only 2 are real. Hundreds of Linux distributions, but only a few work perfectly.

@bkjarvi

Yes, the fix is working perfect! You can also find it here, step by step:

Hi

I want to create a web page locally, using html and css. To open a local html file, I have to do ctrl+o and then select the file. Directly from the file manager with right click (open with opera) it is not working. I get just a blank opera window. In addition, the css file is not loaded if I use ctrl+o.

What could be the reason for this? I am working with Linux Q4OS (Debian based).
