Hi, do you have update-ffmpeg and update-widewine in your /opt/vivaldi* directory?
For widewine you can open vivaldi://components and try to update from there. I guess ffmpeg is updated with it, too.
Cheers, mib
@npro said in Vivaldi freezes on uploads:
If you are on Wayland you should use the switch --ozone-platform-hint=auto to begin with.
Yup.. that fixed it. You guys are great.
Looks like it will be a while before amd radeon drivers will be out for 22.04.
I'm wondering why both google chrome and vivaldi do not work with the simply deselecting "use hardware acceleration when available".
Many videos and articles for this issue instruct the users to remove this switch. But only this obscure fix seemed to work.
Okay.. back to business. Your comment was appreciated.
@DoctorG
It is appreciated that you checked this out.
However, Firefox does delta updates with a Tarball instead of deb. It would not be possible with deb. I agree.
@yogich It's GTK which goes hand in hand with GNOME, same bugs (filechooser , dialogue), restrictions, authoritarian decisions and a community exhibiting the stockholm syndrom of Windozers.
There's also another Manjarian using Cinnamon like you who is getting the save dialogue without a theme. You could ask better in the Manjaro forums about your issue, the team there is better informed than anyone else about what's going on with GTK, theming, also keep in mind MJ Cinnamon is maintaned by the community, so I'm not sure what is being done there and who oversees it.
@vivaldisnow said in Vivaldi gui not working on Ubuntu 22.04 and Fedora 36:
have set Wayland instead Auto
Fwiw, having read @npro's info, last night i set this Flag to Auto, specifically because it says
Selects the preferred platform backend used on Linux. The default one is "X11". "Auto" selects Wayland if possible, X11 otherwise.
I then verified that now, instead of my erstwhile custom Wayland launcher per my previous post, now when i simply use my standard launcher in Plasma Wayland, Vivaldi correctly runs in full-Wayland mode, whilst in Plasma X11, Vivaldi correctly runs in X11 mode. Thus, Auto really does its job well.
@DoctorG In my opinion, no reason to upgrade to the latest until it is a must (new hardware). Ubuntu 18 works fine, LAMPP stack runs on PHP 8, and the browser... current release is 5.3 mine is 5.2. Can't say it is old.
Anyway, thanks for the replys.
Ok, some news...
115% UI zoom doesn't matter.
Try resize window, that is what it triggers the bug for me.
V. menu stops working and other stuff like text selecting.
Vivaldi 5.3, Ubuntu LTS 22.04 Wayland, Toshiba L650 with Radeon GPU 5000 series.
I'm having the video problem too: videos (youtube, f-book) start playing but after 2-5 seconds freeze. Then the whole browser is frozen for ~20 seconds and then continues playing. It then plays OK, but if I take any action, like pausing or seeking it freezes again for 20-30 seconds. Also, when the video ends it freezes.
I opened a guest profile window: videos play just fine, no freezes.
Then I cloned my profile and experimented with the cloned profile, which initially shows the same problem. First I disabled all extensions (just 3): no change. Then I closed all but one window: boom! videos play great!
So I have 7-8 windows open (multiple virtual desktops) with most likely >100 tabs. They're pretty much all hibernated but somehow they interfere with video playing. I also killed vivaldi and restarted it, I believe this means it only loads the current tab for each window. Problem persists.
At this point I don't know what else to try to narrow down the problem...
Running Vivaldi 5.3.2679.55 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) on Manjaro Linux.
@DoctorG I am not sure which change of setting helped me most. I changed all setting as you recommended.
(Only Enabled Hardware Acceleration was in default setting).
