How can I hide the Opera title bar in Linux?
i don’t understand, this installs the version 12.16 on my Ubuntu 16.04
how do you get the actual version 45 ?
wget -c http://download3.operacdn.com/pub/opera/desktop/45.0.2552.812/linux/opera-stable_45.0.2552.812_amd64.deb
at the same time – in another terminal, while download progress in first terminal – you can remove previous version, if installed :
apt remove opera
then in “software and updates”, tab “other softwares”, you can remove the line http://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/
and refresh paquet list
then (this is the key part !) :
apt install libpango1.0-0
and once the deb package is completely downloaded you can install now :
dpkg -i opera-stable_45.0.2552.812_amd64.deb
