Opera ��� linux manjaro

Opera ��� linux manjaro

As a Linux user, I find it highly upsetting that I’m unable to test, help develop, and create feedback for the browser (Opera GX) for the community. More and more users — specifically gamers, since they’re your target audience — will be switching quite quickly to Linux, due to the many advantages Linux gaming has over Windows gaming, and I believe the early access should not just be limited to Windows — rather, it should also be available for Mac/Linux users as well on relatively similar levels. Would it be possible to give support for Linux so users in the Linux community can contribute to further accelerate the growth of this browser?

I hate to bump an older thread (but rather than create another thread for the same thing, I thought it would make sense to reply to this one. But I completely agree! I use Linux (Manjaro) at work as my primary OS, and I recently came across a news article referencing the buying of Yoyo games by Opera and Opera GX and so I played around with Opera GX a bit over the weekend and I really liked it. I, like the op, find it highly upsetting that Linux users are left out to test, help develop, and provide feedback on features for the browser. More software really needs to support Linux and I don’t mean just Ubuntu, or RedHat either.

Come on Opera, make this happen. It’s built on top of Chromium isn’t it? Is there really Windows specific stuff that can’t be ported over? I know cpu and memory are handled a little differently, but if you’re working within the Chromium framework already and Chromium works on Linux (and most of the non-core OS stuff is going to be javascript anyway), I feel like it shouldn’t be that hard since Chromium already runs on Linux. Are you guys really modifying the code on the C/C++ side that much that this is out of the question? At least, announce that you’re working on it or something.

Fast and secure web browser

Opera is a fast, secure, and user-friendly web browser. It includes a built-in ad blocker, Video pop-out, and free VPN.

Details for opera-beta

Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install opera-beta

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.

Enable snapd

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap :

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

Install opera-beta

To install opera-beta, simply use the following command:

Opera

This article or section is out of date.

Opera is a free of charge web browser developed since 1994 by the Norwegian company Opera Software. It is known for being the first to bring new browsing features to the world that have become common on all web browsers, such as tabbed browsing and built-in search.

Contents

Installation

Old Presto version

The current Opera uses the modern and open-source Blink engine. You can still use the old proprietary Presto layout engine by installing Opera 12.16 with the opera-legacy AUR [broken link: package not found] package.

Using Presto-based Opera is not recommended because of security and compliance with modern web standards. Instead you can try Vivaldi by former Opera team members or Otter Browser with really similar UI.

Plugins

For details about different plugins and installation instructions see Browser plugins. Note that Opera no longer supports the Netscape plugin API (NPAPI), but only the newer Pepper plugin API (PPAPI).

Adblock

Install Adblock support using the opera-adblock-complete AUR package.

Performance tweaks

Although Opera is fast on modern hardware, it can be made even faster.

Disabling features and services

One of the keys to maximizing application performance is to disable undesired features and services through the native opera:config Preferences Editor.

Some commonly disabled features are:

• Systray Icon: uncheck Show Tray Icon under opera:config#UserPrefs.
• BitTorrent: uncheck Enable under opera:config#BitTorrent.
• Geolocation: uncheck Enable geolocation under opera:config#Geolocation.
• Multimedia: unckeck desired options under opera:config#Multimedia.
• Web Server: uncheck Enable under opera:config#Web Server.

To more easily find these options just write the respective path (without spaces) in the address bar, for example opera:config#UserPrefs|ShowTrayIcon or use the built-in search.

Profile in tmpfs

Relocate the browser profile to a tmpfs filesystem, including /tmp for improvements in application response as the entire profile is now stored in RAM. Another benefit is a reduction in disk read and write operations, of which SSDs benefit the most.

There are currently two ways of doing this:

• using Profile-sync-daemon, that automatically detects and relocates the Opera profile to tmpfs.
• using the -pd command-line flag to tell Opera where to store its profile data:

Appearance

Themes

Although Opera is cross-platform, it can be made to integrate very well into various Linux desktop environments.

Qt To make the menus look integrated with Qt, install your preferred Qt theme and apply it by using qtconfig . KDE To make Opera use KDE icons, you can install a theme such as this one. GTK A nice GTK skin that uses the Tango icon theme can be found here.

Title bar

The title bar can be hidden by right-clicking on the tab bar, then unchecking «Show Border».

Tab modes

Opera has native support for tab cascading and tiling mode. Appropriate buttons can be found by activating the «Main» toolbar or by dragging and dropping the buttons anywhere desired, found in Menu > Appearance > Buttons > Browser.

Fonts

Fonts can be configured under Settings > Preferences. > Advanced > Fonts.

If the ttf-ms-fonts AUR package has been installed before running Opera for the first time, Opera will use those fonts by default, regardless of what is specified by local GTK options, GNOME or KDE font management. To force existing installations of Opera to use the options set by your system:

• Close all running instances of Opera.
• Un-install the ttf-ms-fontsAUR package.
• Move the existing profile folder: mv -i

/.opera.bak

Run an instance of Opera and verify that your font manager settings have been applied.

Restore bookmarks and desired filter files from

/.opera except for the operaprefs.ini file.

Re-install the ttf-ms-fontsAUR package, if desired.

Private tabs

To browse without leaving obvious traces of the Web sites you visit, you can use a private tab. When you close a private tab, the following data related to the tab is deleted:

To open a private tab from the command-line use:

To ensure only private tabs are used throughout the duration of the browsing session:

• Set Settings > Preferences. > General > Startup > Start without open tabs.
• Clear any entries in Settings > Preferences. > General > Home page option.
• Enable Settings > Preferences. > Advanced > Tabs > Additional tab options. > Allow windows with no tabs.

To open a new window for private browsing when already running Opera you can just press Ctrl+Shift+N or look under Menu > New Tabs and Windows > New Private Window. All subsequent opened tabs with be private as well.

Accessibility Tips

Disable text selection

It is possible to disable text selection in Opera. However, text selection through JavaScript will still work (for example in forms, etc.). To get to the setting follow the link bellow:

Grab and scroll mode

Besides setting text selection off, grab and scroll mode makes page scrolling possible with mouse dragging. It is very useful, especially when you have a touchscreen. Copy and paste the link bellow to get to the mentioned setting.

It is also possible to change this setting on the fly by dragging and dropping the appropriate Opera button into a toolbar. The button can be found in Menu > Appearance > Buttons > Browser View.

Long pressing a link opens it in a background tab (extension)

It is possible to open up any long-clicked link in a new background tab by installing this extension.

Virtual On-Screen keyboard (extension)

There is an extension which allows the use of an on-screen virtual keyboard. Further details and installation link can be found here.

Security

Force a password store

Since current Opera uses the same engine as Chromium does, you can force Opera to use a specific password store by launching it with the —password-store flag. For more details see Chromium/Tips and tricks#Force a password store.

Troubleshooting

Slow scrolling on NVIDIA cards

Try running the following command:

On some computers, https://helion.pl works extremely slow without this hack, making it a perfect site for testing.

Horizontal mouse wheel scrolling

Check Settings > Preferences. > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Middle-Click Options. > Enable horizontal panning.

• Highlight Settings > Preferences. > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Opera Standard.
• Duplicate Settings > Preferences. > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Opera Standard.
• Edit. Settings > Preferences. > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Copy of Opera Standard.
• Search the Forward and Back input contexts and edit the appropriate button shortcuts to scroll left and scroll right .
• Rename Settings > Preferences. > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Copy of Opera Standard as desired.

Launching an external browser

If Opera does not display a site well, a workaround is to launch the currently displayed page in an external browser.

• Set the following line under [Site Navigation Toolbar.content] in $HOME/.opera/toolbar/standard_toolbar.ini :

• If Firefox is desired, or preferred:

• Any number of command-line options may be included in the string:

Opera crashes when starting or closing with GTK 2.24.7+

If this crash occurs, you can work around it by changing the DialogToolkit option to 4:

This will disable GTK styling support and hence avoid the issue.

Unreadable input fields and address bar with dark GTK themes

When using a dark GTK theme, one might encounter Opera address bar and Internet pages with unreadable input and text fields (e.g. Amazon can have black text on black text field background). This can happen because the site only sets either background or text color, and Opera takes the other one from the theme.

Using an installed clear theme and a command help to work around the problem: env GTK_THEME=
opera

to turn it as default, use a prefered text editor and edit the file /usr/bin/opera . e.g. using Opera 12.14:

edit the file and follow the example changing to.

this will make the browser use a clear theme that you set in the file /usr/bin/opera that was used in the above example the theme «Clearlooks» and the problems will be solved.

Opera ��� linux manjaro

Результат поиска ответа на мой вопрос, при помощи интернет поисковой системы,
оказался нулевой, поэтому сподвиг меня обратиться за помощью в сообщество.

Техническая информация:
OS Manjaro Linux 20.0.3 64-bit | Kde Plasma 5.18.5 | Kde Frameworks 5.70.0 |
QT 5.14.2 | Kernel 5.6.15.1-MANJARO

Язык системы:
en_US.UTF-8
Версия браузера Opera:
Version:70.0.3714.0
Установил из репозиториев:
Opera developer (opera-developer) 70.0.3714.0 | Snap
Пробовал и Oficial Repozitories Opera (opera) 68.0.3618.125-3
и Opera (opera) 68.0.3618.165 | Snap

и все возможные варианты, которые имеются в репозиториях.

Результат всегда один.
Вместо текста, при попытке сохранить любой файл
при помощи браузера Opera, квадраты.
На скрине запечатлён этот момент.

Если знаете как исправить данную ситуацию, помогите пожалуйста.
Надеюсь на ваше понимание и помощь.
Спасибо.

Путём проб и ошибок. Получилось добиться результат, когда при сохранении файлов, текст отображается правильно.
Для этого пришлось искать варианты для переустановки браузера. К сожалению, найти причину,
по которой возникала ошибка с отображением шрифтов, не получилось.
На данный момент, как вариант, для устранения подобной ошибки:
— переустановка,
— отказ от проблемного ПО.
— ждать, когда появится вариант для установки, в котором будут отсутствовать ошибки.

В моём случае, устанвоил:
«opera-beta 69.0.3686.21-1 | AUR» и «opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs 83.0.4103.61-1 | AUR»

Понимаю, что вопрос остаётся нерешённым. Так как переустановка, это временное решение.
Возможно, повторение ситуации. (Надеюсь, что нет)
Но возможно, мой опыт, поможет другим, кто будет пробовать установить оперу.
Спасибо всем, кто помогал.
