I tried downloading and installing older versions of opera and the output was:

"Error: cannot satisfy dependencies"

This one is actually freaking me out, because all the previous versions worked like a charm!

My Linux version is 24.04.4 LTS

Opera worked like a charm for nearly two decades under linux. But I upgraded to the latest opera version and after that upgrade it does not start at all.

I tried to start Opera via the command line and this was the output:

Can anyone give me a helping hand? Thanks in advance!

Hi sgunhouse,

Thanks for your reply, I will give it a try!

I have been looking into "opera:config", to see if I could point one of the browsers to anohter folder, but I did not find anything I would dare to touch.

Thanks again!

Hi
I need the Opera 12.60 because of my Mail Client, and I was thinking, if I could install Opera developer parallel to the 12.60.

Will both browsers share the same folder >./opera ?

Could I point the Opera developer to a different folder?

Thanks for your help!
