@fredallas True, but that can be problematical. Yesterday I set about installing ZoinOS and downloaded the file. Then went to Balena Etcher (as recommended in the installation guide) to flash that to a USB stick (brand new, opened the packaging to do it), and was unable to do so: the flash started then stopped after about a minute with a W10 error message about unrecognised system or some such (presumably relating to Balena?). Tried it a couple more times but the laptop now fails to recognise or open the (empty) USB stick as my D:/ drive.

Right now !'m not sure what to do: I've written it up and my son is goint to check it with one of his tutors and college and a couple of friends whose parents are IT developers over this Bank Holiday weekend, so we'll see what comes from that. Decidedly pissed because I've spent the past 12 months building up to this!!!!

Now, on both Linux Mint Vivaldi is working.
My messing with "Profiles" was one reason.
I made "Profiles" newly and berhaps "Vivaldi crash-Team" was also helping me.
Now I have to learn new trics with "Vivaldi browser" after
"Firefox and Thunderbird" !
"Vivaldi Crash-File" is empty ? I do not know why ?

And Works fine on my Ubuntu 24 LTS with Vivaldi deb-package.
I recommend to use deb-package of Vivaldi on all Debian/Ubuntu-related Linuxes.

@pablofarias

Do you use any vivaldi://flags or command line parameters? Does you GPU has any optimisations in its control panel? Had you checked to run in shell with disabled GPU by this command line (for deb package) vivaldi --disable-gpu
or (for snap package) /snap/bin/vivaldi.vivaldi-stable --disable-gpu

@scamidge
Hi, I have these lists active, the cookie blocking lists too.
Maybe your lists are not updated, dis/enable them to get an update.

@edwardp Thanks, @edwardp . Much appreciated.

@mib2berlin will do. Thanks

@acosta01 Ungoogled Chromium works where Vivaldi doesn't. It's my second browser, I'm thinking ab out making it me first.
Last few days I've been tracking a couple of packages coming via USPS and the blank page when clicking on a tracking link is driving me nuts. UG always works so I've started not even trying with Vivaldi. I'll try disabling ad blocking and see if that helps.

EDIT - I disabled ad and tracker blocking and tried with VPN and still no joy. But it does seem that if i hit refresh continuously the tracking eventually populates.

@cleary 👍 . You could report it if you like, https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ , as this doesn't happen with Chromium, which Vivaldi is based on.

@Granite1 said in Suspend disabled:

I beg to differ. When start the installer I get to # root, then what?

you just type archinstall 🙂

After a few steps you can install the DE of your preference for example...

Anyway, if you are perfectly fine with EnOS just stick with it, I'm not trying to convert you, I was just teasing. Besides you are not away from Arch anyway (it's not Manjaro...). Just keep playing around with VMs if you have the time and interest, it's always a good thing 👋

Aha, interesting. This seems to be deep down in fundamental web code. I get the same error when pasting into the Try-It forms on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Global_attributes/contenteditable

This fails both for Vivaldi and Chromium. It seems to work fine for Firefox.

@michaa7 Step 1: Don't do it, installing the deb file will take care of it.

It will also configure the repository.

Any user doing it the manual/old way got into trouble due to outdated keyring material added during this long forgotten step.

If you think you want to be paranoid: Avoid installing the deb package.
It will add an additional (unrestricted) repository entry and drop a cron script to keep it active.

To deploy new versions of the deb package content manually:

keep the keyring file up to date with the repo version download the deb file when a new release drops extract the relevant parts of the package and place them wherever #!/bin/sh # extract vivaldi debian package content arch="${1}" dest="${2}" # distributor signature source keyring="/etc/apt/keyrings/vivaldi-browser.gpg" # verify archive content (ar p "${arch}" _gpgbuilder | gpg --verify "--keyring=${keyring}" -) || exit 1 sum=`ar p "${arch}" data.tar.xz | sha1sum | cut -d' ' -f1` echo "${sum}" (ar p "${arch}" _gpgbuilder | grep "${sum}" | cut -d' ' -f2,4) || exit 2 # extract '/opt' content [ -n "${dest}" ] || dest='.' ar p "${arch}" data.tar.xz | tar -C "${dest}" -xJf- --strip 2 ./opt

@chbwzxgk Vivaldi is compiled against glibc, therefore Flatpak is your only option, unless you want to try to compile it yourself somehow.

Same issue on:

6.14.0-1-MANJARO Wayland KDE Plasma 6.3.4 video-nvidia 2025.01.13 Vivaldi 7.3.3635.11

However, if I enable a warmer color scheme for the monitor in KDE settings, the issue disappears.

upd.:
No same issue with Firefox and Chromium

@npro Only this worked for me, thanks!

@mib2berlin Don't really know. Seems they're set to "Vivaldi" in the corresponding configuration page. They also /seem/ stored there so guess that's how it should be. Just this notification apparently doesn't know about it.🙈

flatpak 😧
