donjames Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I am trying to get Opera to run under LXDE on a new install of Funtoo Linux. The install runs okay with no errors and Opera appears in the "internet" menu. When I click on it nothing happens. How do I solve this problem?

0 cardinal Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Root user: opera --no-sandbox You must edit the opera.desktop file to use the menu shortcut in root account. Regular user: opera Opera Version:56.0.3051.36 runs fine on my lxde mix-ins system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
