Opera support

[megastallman]

Hi guys! Thanks for a nice tool!

For peole living in totalitarian countries like me, where half of the internet is just broken, it would be nice to provide Opera browser. It has OperaVPN built in. I approve that it works absolutely fine in Linuxulator, with OperaVPN, sound and video. I've added it manually and can provide some configuration:

# cat /usr/local/share/applications/linux-opera.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Opera Web Browser (Linux)
Comment=Access the Internet
Icon=/compat/ubuntu/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/opera.png

# cat /usr/local/bin/linux-opera
#!/bin/sh

chroot_path=/compat/ubuntu

get_pa_sock_path()
{
        PA_SOCK_PATH=$(sockstat | awk -v me=$(whoami) -F'[ \t]+' '
                $1 == me && $2 == "pulseaudio" && $6 ~ /native/ {
                        print $6;
                        exit 0
                }'
        )
}

get_pa_sock_path
if [ ! -S "$PA_SOCK_PATH" ]; then
        while killall pulseaudio; do
                sleep 0.5
        done
        pulseaudio --start
        get_pa_sock_path
fi
[ -S "$PA_SOCK_PATH" ] && export PULSE_SERVER=unix:$PA_SOCK_PATH
${chroot_path}/bin/opera

You may reuse it if you are interested to move further.

Hi @megastallman,

very nice :) Could you integrate the support for Opera into linux-browser-installer, and send me a pull request?

[megastallman]

Hi @mrclksr ! Please check https://github.com/mrclksr/linux-browser-installer/pull/26

To check, I've removed and recreated chroot. Also, after starting the browser, enable OperaVPN and visit myip.wtf to make sure that your exit IP is NOT your provider's.

Thank you very much for the pull request :) OperaVPN works like a charm.
