Opera - johnb - 06-25-2016
Thought i'd have a look at the Opera Web browser especially since they've added VPN. But after downloading it from the official web site and then clicking on the .deb file i get the following error,
opera-stable_38.0.2220.31_i386.deb
error:
Dependency is not satisfiable:
libcurl3 (>=7.16.2)
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here please.

Hi
Its reporting you do not have a version of that package equal or more recent than number shown
I have opera on 64 working fine.
Can you update your system and then
run as a local user and post results pls
Code:
dpkg -l | grep libcurlRe: Opera - johnb - 06-25-2016
Hello aus9
Here's the output from dpkg -l | grep libcurl

Re: Opera - aus9 - 06-25-2016
You appear to be missing the actual package (not an old version) try this to resolve it
Code:
sudo apt-get install libcurl3heres my 64 bit as kind of proof
dpkg -l | grep libcurl
ii libcurl3:amd64 7.47.0-1ubuntu2 amd64 easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library (OpenSSL flavour)
ii libcurl3-gnutls:amd64 7.47.0-1ubuntu2 amd64 easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library (GnuTLS flavour)
ii python-pycurl 7.43.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 Python bindings to libcurl
ii python3-pycurl 7.43.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 Python bindings to libcurl (Python 3)
Re: Opera - johnb - 06-25-2016
Yes that worked really well. I now have the Opera browser installed and all dependencies are fully satisfied.
I am a tad disapointed though because i downloaded the 32bit version of Opera and it appears that VPN is not included.
I really enjoy using Linux Lite and don't fancy doing a fresh download of the 64bit version of Linux Lite. Not at the moment anyway.
Thanks for all the help aus9
Re: Opera - aus9 - 06-25-2016
glad its solved.
My internet is so slow going to a VPN would be like using a dial up modem heh heh.
Have you considered buying a router that has openvpn?
If its not too rude, is vpn to evade geoblocking or more security?
no need to reply.
Re: Opera - johnb - 06-25-2016
I would never ever even consider doing anything that could be deemed illegal. I just thought it might improve security and i'd like to give it a try out. But if it slows down the Internet like you say then i will give it a miss.
By the way, i am now running Linux-Lite-3.0 (64bit). Just thought i'd say.

Hi johnb,
As far as I know the VPN/proxy feature has been only released in the developer channel yet.
More info here:

Hope that helps
Re: Opera - aus9 - 06-26-2016
I don't want to mislead you.
I get 4 Mbps which is roughly 450 kilobytes per second.....so I am so slow any time to encrypt and decypt is why I can't go vpn.
if you are already near 4g speeds or better then you will get a slow down but you may not notice. A quick search has this link that might interest you?

Re: Opera - johnb - 06-26-2016
Hi aus9
I installed Opera this morning and selected the VPN option and to be honest with you i've found no Internet speed loss that i can detect anyway. I think Opera is onto a winner with the inclusion of VPN and i can't imagine that the likes of Firefox and Google will be long bringing out their own versions very shortly. I am very happy with the Opera browser and especially VPN as it hopefully increases my online security.
