[ubuntu] Opera For Jaunty Jackalope?

[Testrum]

Can anyone tell me how to install Opera for Jaunty Jackalope? I can't seem to get the .deb file to work and have a hard time with compiling from source

What is happening when you double-click the deb file? Have you tried right-clicking and choosing open with "Gdebi Package Installer"?

I went to the Opera website and they don't have a Jaunty deb file listed for download yet. Which one are you using?

I just went to the Opera website and downloaded the Opera 9.64 Ubuntu version for Intrepid 8.10 (latest version) even though I am running Jaunty 9.04. I downloaded the file (8.4mb) to my desktop, then I opened up "GDebi Package Installer" (in Applications --> System Tools) and dragged the Opera .deb file onto it and installed it. It placed a link for Opera in Applications --> Internet. If you don't have GDebi installed, go to Synaptics, search for "gdebi" and download it. Opera is running real good in Jaunty with no problems. Give it a try. Good luck.

You should install Opera from a repository so that you can easily get updates for it.

Add this to your software sources:

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free

Then add the GPG key:

wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

Finally...

sudo apt-get install opera

+1 on the repo install. I try to avoid installing deb packages whenever I can.

Repo installs are also significantly easier to uninstall...

[binbash]

There is a deb at opera's official download site, also a repository.YOu do not need to compile it.

How exactly do you try to compile a closed-source package? "Hard time compiling"? ehh..
