Ubuntu :: How To Install Opera
Mar 31, 2010
Well just got onto linux... Its kinda been just sittdng on my desk so decided to start it off Though first things first, having some trouble installing Opera. After following instuctions here: [URL] After running this in the terminal: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 6A423791
I get a error Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 881574DE gpg: Invalid option "--keyserver.ubuntu.com"
Where am I going wrong? And why is'nt there a 'ubuntu' installer that does this for you? Must this be done to every progarm I want to add?

I have attempted to install Opera by downloading the Deb file and running:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i oopera_10.10.4742.gcc4.qt3_i386.deb
The installation appears to complete itself successfully. However, when I come to then clicking on the new Opera logo in the panel menu, nothing happens. Even after a restart.
What could I be doing wrong? How should I launch Opera?

I am running Lucid in my Apple iBook of course powerpc architecture and due to firefox's cruel treat on my CPU, I want to install opera which I am told is a bit lightweiht and friendly on CPU.I tried sudo "apt-get install opera" and I got "the package opera does not have an installation candidate .... and so forth....", I visited the opera for powerpc download page and I couldn't see Ubuntu among the listed OS'ses. I am not sure what to do? Is their an option coz I love firefox but my iBook wont stand it without the 100% CPU usage.

I have opera 10.10 and I tried to install java to access some banking in so many ways. I got a headache: I uninstalled java, reinstalled it, uninstalled openjdk, reinstalled opera, enabled plugins, enabled java at the opera: config and operalugin, put the path to the plugin on the advanced tab.

I just upgraded to Mepis 11 alpha 2 and am using the gnome desktop. I downloaded the appropriate version of Opera. When I try to install it using dpkg -i, it wont allow it because I do not have permission in either "user" or "root" desktop. I tried to edit sudoers file but it it doesn't seem to work. I can't use sudo because I am not in sudoers file and I cannot edit sudoers file because I do not have sudo permission. When I am in root desktop, I still do not have permission even to read sudoers file. How do I install Opera?

I'm on ubuntu 10.04 32-bit desktop. Somehow Opera 10.60 is very slow to load. I just switched from FF to Opera, and (I'm pretty sure, might be dreaming though) that the first few days it was lightning fast.. and now it takes like 10+ secs to load any page.

I've just installed opera, copying over my sessions, history, cookies and so on over from SimplyMepis, and while it runs okay, there is only the 'file tab' available at the top of the screen as a pull down menu. I've noticed an applet at the top-right of my screen, which when right-clicked gives me a few options (downloads, history...), but this seems my lot. Where the heck is everything else? For one thing I want to restore a previous session.

I have a problem with Opera 11.10. I can't seem to uninstall it. There is no package related to it in Synaptics Package Manager. It isn't listed in the Software Center.
When I search for "opera" in Unity search it shows up and I can launch it. The launch command is "application://opera-browser.desktop/." but there is no file like that in /usr/share/applications folder.
Also, when I install Opera 11.50, then it installs separately and still launches 11.10 from the Unity search.

I can get all the utube videos other website videos , but no BBC videos using U 9.10 and Opera 10.10. They work with FF or Using Opera in Fedora it works fine. I have all the usual Gstreamers, restricted extras/flash player etc. I read just about every post I can but see nothing I do not already have.

Just out of the blue, the layout of my 10.10 Opera was destroyed. If you take a look at the attachment you will see that Class: tag everywhere. How the heck did it appear and how can I make it work like it did before?

I just downloaded Opera, and I actually kind of like it and am thinking about making it my regular browser instead of Firefox. (I have version 10.10 by the way.) However, I can't check my Myspace account, because every time I sign in it tells me I need to enable Javascript to use the site. I have Javascript enabled in the site settings and global settings. Myspace worked fine until I randomly hit 'Mask as Firefox' for no real reason, and now it won't work, even though I have it set back to 'Identify as Opera,' the default setting.

Forum.Ref:Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid LynxFluxboxOpera 10.61Has anyone a clue how I can solve following (minor but annoying) problem?It takes a relative long time (a few seconds) as normal user before Opera starts in my fluxbox environment. I expected a quicker startup time.Also because when I start opera as root the startup time is shorter.I started opera in a terminal. No messages when started as root with gksudoBut 5 lines of:open: Permission deniedwhen started as normal user. Startup succeeds after these messages.So I figured out that there is some kind of authorisation problem but have no clue how to find out which files opera tries to open and fails and what to do at this point.I searched for similar problems on this forum and also via google but could not find any real answers.

I installed Opera 11 a couple of days ago and it is incredibly slow. After entering a url it just sits there with "Document 0%" in the location bar for thirty seconds to a minute, then renders relatively fast. I've gone back to both version 9.xx and 10.63 and they are both faster.

At the following link, the instructions do not state clearly what is to be entered where and in which order, but here is what I have done after some trial and error:-[URL]..
1. IN THE TERMINAL, enter wget -qO - [URL]..| sudo apt-key add -
2. System - Administration - Software Sources.
3. Click on the 'Other Software' tab.
3. Click the 'Add' button.
5. Copy and paste deb [URL]...stable non-free in the APT Line.
6. Click 'Add Source'.
7. Click 'Close'.
8. Click 'Reload'.
THEN BACK IN THE TERMINAL:-
9. Enter sudo apt-get update (press Enter)
10. Enter sudo apt-get install opera (press Enter)
My question is, the article also makes it seem as if Installing via repository is different to Installing via shell. Is this correct or is installing via shell just additional steps required as part of the installation from repository?

I am looking for a way to hide the tile bar on Opera's window. I know Compiz has a Window Decorations plug in, but can you specify there only the Opera windows to lack their title bars?

I install and update Opera using this method:
[URL]
Works great. I am notified of updates and everything.
Problem is that lately when I run an update to Opera the key is deleted from Software Sources. This happens on several systems (10.04 and 9.10 at least) and happens each time I update Opera.
I install the key again, of course, and the next update deletes the key.

Every time I try to install an application I get this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install gsmart
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: The package opera needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
What should I do? I try to reinstall opera but when I double the .deb package it says unable to install/ the package may be damaged and I have downloaded a fresh copy for about 4 times now!

Okay well here is what I notice in the syslog
Jan 3 23:52:38 Sai kernel: [ 3914.806177] __ratelimit: 3 callbacks suppressed
Jan 3 23:52:38 Sai kernel: [ 3914.806183] compiz.real[1908]: segfault at 11 ip 08055c2d sp bfccbb70 error 4 in compiz.real[8048000+34000]
Jan 3 23:52:38 Sai kernel: [ 3914.866575] operapluginwrap[2169]: segfault at b66a5030 ip 003cbd1d sp bff5e5d4 error 4 in libpthread-2.10.1.so[3c4000+15000]
[Code]....
It seems starting up gives a ton of errors I can't really isolate. The above boot errors are in no order. I just pasted them all together.
What happens is randomly when Im browsing through videos on ....., it crashes back to the login screen. Im guessing this has something to do with Opera's plugin/Sound/Pulse Audio.

I recently installed Opera 10.10, and I'm loving the browser.I decided to try out some themes, decided I didn't like them, and went back to the default theme which I like.Now though, the right click menu of the mouse doesn't actually load a theme - similar to when a program that needs root privilages (Synaptec package manager for example) won't be skinned unless you put a theme folder in the .root directory.I've attached an image of the right click menu.how to get Opera to load the Gtk (I think) theme or inbuilt theme for context menus. I've tried removing/reinstalling, but it didn't work
Edit: Just noticed - buttons, and windows inside opera, aren't being themed either.So it seems anything that requires themes outside of Opera's main window won't work.

I have switched to Opera because my Firefox eats my CPU and makes everything go slow (it even makes my music lag!) when I have a few tabs open or try to scroll on a fairly big site with pictures and flash stuff.
These problems are completely gone with Opera, but I would like it to behave more like my Firefox does. I use multiple workspaces all the time, so it really bugs be when Opera insists on opening new tabs in the window already open in another workspace. That takes away some of the point with multiple workspaces, if I need to drag opera along all the time. Making it show in every workspace is not an alternative, since I try sorting different tasks to different windows.
What I tried was to add the -newwindow flag to the opera launcher. This works, but however, I have to open the first tab manually (duh!) which is kind of unnecessary.
So how do I make Opera open new windows WITH a tab when I use the opera shortcut launcher? And if someone could throw in how I can make a startpage open instead of the ballot screen, it would be nice!

From time to time I have to close Opera in order to regain the ability to use Totem or VLC (perhaps others). I'll explain. Normally everything is fine, but from time to time I will open Movie Player (Totem) and it will attempt to load whatever I have sent to it and it will vanish (crash). I can attempt to send anything to it and the same problem occurs (audio or video; mp3, flac, avi, &c). I can test the same problem with VLC and the same results occur (vanish/crash).
If I close Opera (and optionally restart it), I again can use Totem and VLC. I have tried merely killing Opera's plugin wrapper (thinking it was perhaps related to a plugin seizing PA), but this does nothing for the matter. (Of course killing Opera does as this is more or less the same as closing Opera.)

why fonts in Chrome and Opera/Firefox are so different, even though they're set the same (Arial and Times New Roman)?
For me, pages in Opera/Firefox are blurry and I'd prefer to make them look like those in Google Chrome.
How to do that? Especially in Opera?

I have another opera browser problem,i upgraded to version 10.53 build 6330 last week. it keeps crashing the cpu goes to 100% and wont come down, i had this problem with the previous version but its a lot worse with the new version.
also noticed that when browsing ebay the scroll is very jerky until you get about a third of the way down the page then it scrolls ok again.
i get the feeling the crashes are something to do with the flash player.
i tried to uninstall flash but i cannot get it to uninstall .
