Select from the list: Shockwave Flash libflashplayer.so and click "FIND PLUGINS". Restart Opera to enable flash. Apparently as soon as you install Opera, doing this is necessary to get your Flash works in Opera. This settings are listed and better explained, here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser It's a good document, and adds more about other flash errors that might occur. (Sorry if my english is not that good). I hope this helps ;). Camila. Hi, had the same problem, and solve it doing this:
