I used terminal to install light spark (0.7.2+git20150512-2build4). When I go to plugins on my browser, Opera, it only shows Chrome PDF viewer. What do I need to go to get Opera to see that I've installed lightspark?

The Lightspark plugin only supports the NPAPI (a plugin api). However, Opera (and Chrome) only support the PPAPI on Linux. Therefore, Lightspark won't work.
I recommend that you install the pepperflashplugin-nonfree
package instead. (which isn't open source but I doubt that could be a demand from your side as Opera is a closed source browser)

Thanks. Pepperflash works great. I'm assuming it's safer than adobe flash... I moved to Opera after firefox did something that I didn't like and never looked back. Maybe I should check it out again someday. Now to uninstall gnash AND lightspark.... Thanks– GrahfAug 15, 2016 at 20:32
