Hello, DestinTheGreat.

The screen output of

would be greatly appreciated. It will give us a concise overview of your hard- and software configuration. Please, camouflage the MAC addresses in the inxi output before posting.
Also please run this commandline and post the output here:

Code: Select all

dpkg --list *flash* *opera*

Kind regards,

Hello, DestinTheGreat.

Based on this recent thread, Firefox won't install, where we tried many little tricks to solve the problem and where in the end the solution was much simpler, I wonder whether similar steps to these might help in your case as well:
(1) Launch Synaptic Package Manager
(2) Click [Reload Software List].
(3) Click Edit => Repair broken packages
(4) Re-install Opera. Maybe remove Opera first and install it again next.
(5) Re-install the Mint-Flashplugin 11.2.202.332.

As inxi confirmed, your machine is not on the list of those poorly equipped machines that cannot handle recent flash plugins. It can.

HTH,
Karl
