I have been trying to run Opera on Ubuntu but wine is installing the application but not running the application, any suggestion and how to approach the problem?
Opera provides native packages to download for most Linux distributions at their website and even repositories, so updates are automatically pulled in via package management. There is an article on Opera in the Ubuntu community documentation providing information beyond just installing.
To add the opera repository with the signing key and install Opera execute the following commands:
echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list
wget -qO - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opera
I just tried it in my Lucid VM, it works and installs without issues.
