Hi there!
What version of Ubuntu are you using? If you are using an outdated Ubuntu version, I would recommend starting with an upgrade. But before proceeding make sure to back up your server!
It sounds like the issue is related to the GPG key of the Opera repository. You might have upgraded your system or Opera, and the GPG key in use might be outdated or not trusted anymore.
Remove the old Opera GPG key: This is not always necessary but it’s a good first step to clean up old or broken keys.
This will show the key for the Opera repository like:
Take note of the key ID, which in this case is
4EFBD5A8
. You can then remove the key using:Add the new Opera GPG key: Now, you need to add the new Opera GPG key. You can do this by running:
This will download the key and add it to your system’s list of trusted APT keys.
Update your system: After adding the new key, you should update your system:
Hopefully, after following these steps, you should be able to update your system and use Opera without any issues.
Remember to replace
4EFBD5A8
with your own key ID if it’s different. Also, these commands are for a system usingapt
for package management. If you’re using a different package manager, the commands might be slightly different.If you continue to have issues, it might be helpful to post the exact error message or screenshot so we can provide more targeted assistance.
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
