Hi all , Hi Ed ,
I did some thinking and studying : A long time ago I found somewhere
opera-stable-54.0.2952.71-1.fc29R.x86_64.rpm but I don't know and have fotgotten where
.
I installed it and in the version fc29, -fc30, and -fc31 it runs fine. In the version
fc32 the application won't launch : So I reinstalled it and got the message already
installed.
I can imagine that this old rpm (fc29) is outdated ,so the question is where can I find
the newest version (opera-stable-68.0.3618.63-0 ((fc32R)) .x86_64.rpm if it exists and
install it and then try to launch this newest application onder fc32 ?
I would suggest that you un-install the whatever opera is on your system.
Then, install the opera repo using (found at
rpm.opera.com)
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/opera.repo <<RPMREPO
[opera]
name=Opera packages
type=rpm-md
baseurl=https://rpm.opera.com/rpm
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://rpm.opera.com/rpmrepo.key
enabled=1
RPMREPO
And then....
sudo dnf install opera-stable
This way you'll get the latest version as well as any updates.
Second problem : Also a long time ago , don't ask me when or where I found
opera-12.16-1860.x86_64.rpm and installed it. Purpose was and is the possibility to use
opera mail wich long ago was under fedora to use and since the browser was separated opera
mail is not running under fedora . In the versions fc28 , -fc29 , -fc-30 and -fc31 no
problems runs fine . In the version fc32 it is gone . So I tried the reinstall it and got
the following messages
Libgstreamer-0.10.so.0
Libgstbase-0.10.so.0
Libgstvideo-0.10.so.0
are missing.
How going on ?
I know nothing about "Opera Mail". But a google search indicates it is no
longer available and no longer
supported.
But, I doubt older versions will run on the latest versions of Fedora as the library
versions have changed.
