How do I delete programs using terminel
I just got my Ubuntu 14.04 running just the way I want it, when I decided to install Opera browser. I tried 3 different times and failed each time. I need some one to tell me what to type in the terminal to remove any and all files related to Opera.

The filename should be opera.list & opera.list.save instead of opera.listsudo that's why it is giving error and you are not able to install opera

Method - II for installation You can install it from ubuntu software center, if you are not able to find opera there Method - III for installation There is another easier method. Download opera deb file from here Now run following command # sudo apt-get install gdebi Now right click on downloaded deb file and open with Gdebi package installer. Now opera should be installed. |
