running these commands to install opera :
to set up a key:
wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
to set up a repository:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opera
but at the end I get this message in my command terminal :

From the command line typing lsb_release -a says my ubuntu version is Ubuntu 17.10, but I'm using lubuntu.
Solution 1:
On your terminal, run the following commands:
wget https://download3.operacdn.com/pub/opera/desktop/50.0.2762.45/linux/opera-stable_50.0.2762.45_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i opera-stable_50.0.2762.45_amd64.deb
wget: downloads opera-stable_50.0.2762.45_amd64.deb
dpkg: installs opera-stable using the deb file.
Solution 2:
You can install the snap version, Opera website recommends downloading the snap. In the terminal, do:
sudo snap install opera
You may require to install snap first before using above command, for this use the below command:
sudo apt install snapd
