Opera 11.60 on Fedora 16/15, CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL) 6.1/5.7
This is guide, howto install or update Opera 11.60 browser on Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat (RHEL). This works on Fedora 16/15/14/13/12, CentOS 5.7, CentOS 6.1/6, Red Hat (RHEL) 5.7 and Red Hat (RHEL) 6.1/6.
Opera does not, unfortunately, currently offer repositories where Opera could be installed and keep up to date neatly. So the only option is to download the required RPM package directly from Opera’s download page and install it directly with the RPM command.

Hi, I noticed that the old opera logo is used on the page. Would you consider updating it. It can also make the site look more attractive to new visitors.
You can get the new opera logos here: http://www.opera.com/press/resources/
Hi sandmonkey,
Thanks for the notification. I updated old Opera logo to the new one.
I hope that you get your Opera goodie bag! ;D
haha, thanks. and I am :D
Hi plp, I installed the latest version of Opera (11.50) on RHEL 6.1 but java plugin (openjdk) isn’t working. In opera:plugins it gets correctly listed, and the plugin works on firefox (3.6.x, which came along).
Any ideas? How can I provide further info (opera console)?
Hi Daniel,
I tested also Java and it’s not working default even about:plugins shows it.
Try following (as root):
You have to specify your real Java path it. Here I use Java JDK 7, but if you have example Java JRE 6u26 then path looks like following /usr/java/jre1.6.0_26/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so and so on…
Hi! I have problems with flash-plugin 11.1 on Opera 11.60 on Fedora 16. But on work i’m usign Fedora 15 and same versions of plugin and opera and don’t have any problem. The problem is: “operapluginwrapper-native was killed by signal 11″ – and my actions always different at that moment, so i cant understand why this happening, i suppose the different in libs. May be anybody knows what to do?
Hi Dimka,
I use 64-bit system and Opera with Flash 11.1 plugin is working normally.
Could you post output of following commands:
Here it is:
$ uname -a
Linux bred.fedora16 3.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 29 11:37:53 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ rpm -qa flash-plugin opera
opera-11.60-1185.x86_64
flash-plugin-11.1.102.55-release.x86_64
Also i mentioned that this happens just on some sites, i suppose problem in some flash-content.
Here it is:
$ rpm -qa flash-plugin opera
opera-11.60-1185.x86_64
flash-plugin-11.1.102.55-release.x86_64
Also i mentioned that this happens just on some sites, i suppose problem in some flash-content.
Thanks Dimka,
First I have to ask do you have nVidia graphics card and use nVidia drivers?
Could you also post output of following commands, after operapluginwrapper-native was killed by signal 11:
Sorry for not reply for a long time.
Yes, i’m using official nVidia driver from nvidia.com 270.10 and videocard is 9600gt.
Also i installed opengl 32 bit libs, which included in nvidia driver.

And also i didn’t mentioned that after mistake flash-plugin is still working without opera restart.
Hi again Dimka,
Looks like bug on Opera with Gnome 3.2. Should be fixed on Opera 11.60 final (build 1185), but I’m not sure is it, because you use Opera 11.60 and it still exists…could you post some link to flash content where it crash? So I can try it myself. :)
Hi!
I’m not using Gnome, i’m using KDE.
Now i’m at work, but later i will send some links.
Also i mentioned that crashes also happen when i’m closing opera tab’s with flash content.
Thank you for your help.
Oh, you are using KDE, could you test, is Konqueror working normally on same sites?
Thanks, I test those links with opera-11.60-1185.x86_64 and flash-plugin-11.1.102.55-release.x86_64 on Fedora 16 with nVidia graphics and with Intel graphics, just in case… :)
Could you post also output of following command:
here is some links:
http://www.overclockers.ru/
http://rutracker.org/forum/index.php
http://habrahabr.ru/
Flash crashes not always, but often, just right after page is loaded.
Konqueror, Firefox working normally. Also i tried to disable desktop effects, but it didn’t help.

Hi Dimka,
This is strange problem, and it is some bug in Opera, because flash works ok with other browsers, I can reproduce operapluginwrapper crash easily with Opera+Flash on those sites. I check some Opera blog posts and looks like they have added to /usr/share/opera/defaults/plugin-ignore.ini file following content to prevent some flash problems:
I just tried to comment that row out and restart Opera and then I didn’t got any crash on quick testing. I’m not really sure is this fixing it, but you could try following, open /usr/share/opera/defaults/plugin-ignore.ini file and modify it to looks like following (comment out npwrapper… row):
Then restart your browser and try again those sites. Is it still crashing? :)
Yeap, still crashing =)
Ok, I tried reload those pages several times, but it doesn’t crash, but then this doesn’t solve operapluginwrapper problem… :/
One thing what you could do is fill Opera bug report here. It is really strange why Opera 11.60 and Flash 11 works on Fedora 15 normally, but crash sometimes on Fedora 16.
ok, anyway i’m very grateful for your help. Thanks!
You are very welcome Dimka, I am sorry that the problem was not resolved, but maybe bug report to Opera developers solve this problem some next Opera version… :)
