Opera does not starts

[TerkiKerel]

Hi,

I updated opera browser. But now it does not starts. I try to open it from command line to see the error:

/nix/store/09fg6vjwv1fq875b6450gyqxd6mvdlzn-opera-48.0.2685.52/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thank you

Can you post the output of nix-info (it describes your system so we can help)?

As per the issue template ;) the command to run is this nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m"

I can't reproduce the problem you're having on unstable, master, or release-17.09. Information would probably help!

[TerkiKerel]

@dtzWill I don't have a nix-info command :/

BUt I check these:
nix-env --version: 1.11.16
opera : 48.0.2685.52

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.

Update:
nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m" command ouput:

system: "x86_64-linux"

• host os: Linux 4.10.0-42-generic, Ubuntu, 16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus)
• multi-user?: no
• sandbox: no
• version: nix-env (Nix) 1.11.16
• channels(user2): "nixpkgs-18.03pre124071.310ad4345bb"
• nixpkgs: /home/user2/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs

[dtzWill]

Thank you!

Hmm...

Here's my best explanation/'guess' as to what's happening:

• opera uses RUNPATH not RPATH, as reported by readelf -d.
• libstdc++.so.6 is not in NEEDED, presumably it's a transitive dependency
• RUNPATH is not used for resolving dependencies of things like plugins or transitive dependencies

@TerkiKerel
If you could try running it with LD_DEBUG=libs (like so: $ LD_DEBUG=libs opera) and post the output that would help confirm (or deny, and probably point to whatever else is wrong). I'll poke at this a bit more in the meantime...

Opera is chrome-like and so I looked at what we do for chrome, and there we don't only patchelf the binaries but also create a wrapper that sets a number of things but most relevant to this is that it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This would explain why that might work when opera doesn't, which I bet is the case.

So!

Solutions I see:

Idea 1: Use --force-rpath in the patchelf invocations

This is an easy change, assuming it works and solves your problem.

Idea 2: Port over wrapper bits from Chrome expression, possibly other fixups too

This probably should only be done by someone confident in understanding the structure of Opera and internals, which unfortunately is not me.

Depending on how "chrome-like" Opera is, it might make sense to refactor things a bit and treat Opera like another chrome variant? Not sure.

[dtzWill]

@TerkiKerel actually you might want to try just setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH yourself and see if that resolves the issue?

Something like (path taken from the RUNPATH in your opera binary):

LMK if that works? O:)

[TerkiKerel]

@dtzWill your command worked. opera started.

(please upgrade opera to 50. version :) )

I dont know if it matters but it gives this output:

@TerkiKerel I actually did that already while investigating (#33530), should be included next time the channel updates 😁

Regarding the output, do you know if it printed similar output previously?

Finding drivers/GL libraries on non-NixOS is a bit sketchy if I remember correctly, not sure there's much to be fixed (that's not already part of an ongoing issue).

@dtzWill today I updated Opera:

opera --version
50.0.2762.45

But when I want to start it it gives this error:

I try opera on another computer. opera worked. I will close this issue now. because i will remove my old computer soon. so we are not able to re-try this issue again...
