Same problem on Ubuntu 16.04.3. I reinstalled following the instructions above. Nothing changes. Here are the errors I see:

I removed it and installed the latest 1.13 version from the older versions page (vivaldi-stable_1.13.1008.44-1_amd64.deb). That works:

@pmontrasio

Hi, I had the same problem on Linux Mint 18.2 and succeeded to fixed it on the latest version of Vivaldi.

In my environment, the problem seems related to timezone (as shown in your error log). Latest Vivaldi seems to have changed the way handling it.

The solution is one of below:

Set environtment TZ and start vivaldi.

eg. (export TZ=JST+9; vivaldi-stable)

Correct /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone.

eg.
cd /etc
sudo sh -c 'echo "JST-9" > timezone'
sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Japan localtime

Please modify timezone to your location.

Hope this helps.

pmontrasio

 $ echo $TZ
:/etc/localtime

Fixed for me with version 1.15.1147.47-1
