Bug report. Latest version of Opera is no possible open in Kubuntu

snapcraft
1

Latest version of Opera is no possible open in Kubuntu. I have latest version of Kubuntu. I am not sure whether is bug in Opera or in snapcraft.

On older version all worked correct.

Dear Developers,

Following the latest update, the Snap version of the Opera browser on Kubuntu Linux is currently non-functional.

The core issue appears to be that the Wayland display server is invisible to the Snap container, leading to immediate crashes upon launch.

This problem is critical as Kubuntu developers have configured the login screen to only support the Wayland session, meaning selecting an X11 session is not an available option for daily use.

The only functional workaround we currently have is the following command, which forces the browser to utilize the X11 compatibility layer (XWayland):

opera --ozone-platform=x11

Please resolve this confinement/compatibility issue within the Snap package as soon as possible.

Thank you.

This was also reported at https://forums.opera.com/topic/87200/opera-developer-snap-wayland-doesn-t-work-after-update-to-revision-424/ and I believe it’s fixed…

(I’ve not confirmed [fix], as I’ve not logged out of my Xorg/X11 session since fix was announced to retry using a Wayland session)

guiverc Yes. It is true. Good news. Based update from yesterday, this bug is fixed.
