Opera has released a version of Opera Mobile 10 for Linux,and provide the deb package.But this deb package is only for i386.Here is how to install Opera Mobile 10 on x86_64 Ubuntu.

First,download the deb package for Opera Mobile

Open up a terminal window from Applications->Accessories menu and run:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Force to install the deb for i386 on amd64 system
(You need to navigate to the directory where you saved the just downloaded deb package first,in my case it’s cd Downloads,and then execute following command):

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture OperaMobileLinux_35.deb

Finally,run this command:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libopera.so /usr/bin/

Now,launch Open Mobile from Applications->Internet menu!

    Hey! thank you for this great description. It helped me a lot. But in the Version 10.1 there is a laucher, where you can setup some items. Do you also know how to get that laucher work?

    Thank you all the best from Berlin!

    Well, the installation went fine, but this Opera mobile continues to crash all the time. Does anyone knows how to uninstall it?
