I installed Opera last week to test and it worked fine, but this
week it refuses to load.* So, purged it. Decided to manually set up
opera repo, etc. instead of downloading the deb file from Opera as
I had done originally. As yet haven't reinstalled. Thought I'd check
on Chromium first.

the Oracle noticed stated (and purging 6) caused the problem.
