http://www.linuxforums.org – I got a pop up cue to upgrade the opera browser on my Ubuntu 8.04 os and now the browser will not work. It says to check the internet connection. My internet connection is working for all of my other browsers. Has anyone run into this problem or know a way to fix it, please? Thanks! (HowTos)

Opera browser 2 years 44 weeks ago

I have opera as my default browser, activated though x-www-browser.  How can I pass arguments to the browser (such as -notrayicon)?I tried adding it to the bottom of the /usr/bin/x-www-browser like so - # Run Opera:exec "$OPERA_BINARYDIR/opera -notrayicon" "$@"but then it won't start opera at all.Any ideas?Cheers

Yep, this thread again. Gotta be done every so often ^-^;

Because Opera does not provide repository support it is extremely difficult to upgrade or maintain. Which, in this day and age is perhaps not the best thing for a security conscious individual. My problem?
