Opera problems

[jungar]

Hi,

i just managed to somehow install Opera. and i dont know how to install the flash player

ALSO.. i get an ERROR message everytime i open opera. i can still sorta use it, but for what it's worth, this is what the error message says:

It appears another Opera instance is using the same configuration directory because its lock directory is active:

home/my username/ .opera/lock

what is this? how can i fix it?

For the lock file
Try to remove the lock file first:
1. Close Opera.
2. Open a terminal
3. Enter "sudo rm /home/(your username)/.opera/lock".

If this won't work, try this:
1. Close Opera.
2. Uninstall Opera.
3. Open a terminal
4. Enter "sudo rm -r /home/(your username)/.opera".
5. Install Opera.

load the 9.50beta version of opera and you dont have that silly flash problem anymore...

I did what husse said ... seems like it only uninstalled and reinstalled... nothing really changed.. same old flashless opera

where can i get this opera beta?

ermm.. it can wait.. im no expert at this, i dont wanna risk it with a beta version.. i'll wait for the BETTER/SAFER official release

anyway... speaking of better ... how much longer till the new version of Linux mint is released?

i have daryna... pretty good.. but theres always room for improvements.. esp with the new ubuntu out

cheers guys... keep up the good work.. im lovin mint

Works really nice once you sort the fonts out. All flash/wmv etc work without any work. And hasn't crashed playing flash like FF does.

Menu's still look f**k ugly though.
