Stable eating logins again [SOLVED]
-
With the latest stable version, it's almost a daily routine that I have to log in to all sites each morning. I have no ccleaner/bleachbit-type thing going on here, so I think this is self-imposed by Vivaldi.
Vivaldi 2.9.1705.41 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Revision ce637bfd730e6b2e549bf8def38f849e1a26bd3b

@Gwen-Dragon Thank you, Gwen. No to all those questions. Nothing was changed here that I'm aware of. Will see what it does tomorrow.

Wiped out all logins again.
-
BTW, just closing and reopening V. does not lose any logins. Seems to be something about shutting the machine down.

@paul1149 If you let Vivaldi in a running state, logout of your Linux account and re-login to LInux account, does the Vivaldi login database fail to show passwords in vivaldi://settings/privacy ?
@Gwen-Dragon , I don't have any passwords saved there. However, just now was the first time that closing and reopening V lost all logins. Not sure if it matters, but this time V. was closed for several minutes rather than a quick cycling.

I just thought of a possible cause. I'm on a new MX-linux 19 install, and I brought over my Vivaldi Default folder. Could there be a permissions problem writing to the cookies file?
-
Also, Sync has been broken - I suppose for the same reason. I've now CHMOD'ed the Cookies file. Will see tonight if it made a difference.
-
I CHOWN and CHMOD (774) the whole vivaldi folder under ~/.config, and still all log ins, including V. sync, are broken. Plus I see the Cookies file changing as I surf. So while permissions seems the most logical cause of the problem, I don't see how it's a factor here.

@paul1149 Depending on your desktop environment and how it is configured you may be prompted to login to either the Gnome or KDE password stores. This can happen automatically but it is very much dependent on local configuration of the desktop environment. Are you being prompted and if so are you logging in?

Hi @ruario ,
No. In MX18 I did see the gnome keyring prompt at first, then someone at MX told me how to resolve it permanently. Henceforth I did not see it. On this new MX 19 install, I don't recall ever seeing the prompt.

GNOME keyring:
~/.local/share/keyrings/*Ok, let me try that. Thanks.

If you copied the Vivaldi profile from an other older Linux install/account, did you copy the old GNOME keyrings or KDE password wallet to your new Linux account? If not, you will get a broken login database.
- Kwallet:
~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/*
~/.kde/share/config/kwallet* - GNOME keyring:
~/.local/share/keyrings/*
First I cycled V, then I logged out and back in, and finally I restarted the machine. In every case the two logins I had established were kept intact. So dare I say the problem is solved?
Thanks much guys. I'm going to copy this to notes for future reference. Much appreciated!
