Vivaldi Snapshot doesn't get auto update
-
Somehow, there's some packaging issue going on here. I don't know. It's not a rocket science to install a binary package anyway.

@archerallstars I am out of my depth here, but maybe this will help?

I set up those VMs some time back, thus certainly did not use your link to the current Snappie blog page. However, as you saw from my earlier post, 2 of my current F VMs only have Stable not Snappie. So, now, i am going to install Snappie into one of them, via the rpm i shall d/l from your linked V page, then i shall update this post to let you know what ensued.

Notes:

Though for non-V packages i install & do system updates in terminal with
dnf
, specifically for V i get lazy & instead simply right-click the downloaded rpm file/s then clickOpen with Software Install
, ie the Software GUI app. That's how i did it here too this time. -
Before doing the above, this VM was overdue for a system update, so i did that [>200 pkgs] first. Being impatient, i foolishly then manually installed Snappie as above, then immediately checked the repo list. V Snappie was not in the list. I then rebooted [which ofc i should have done before, sigh], & rechecked the list, & Snappie is now present, per my codebox above.

No.

Judging by the way Fedora does the updates (aka like Windoze "please don't turn off your PC" ) this sounds like the proper solution

Don't get too exciting, ladies. I re-installed and restarted many times before I came here. There's no Vivaldi repository to be found on my system, whether I install with
sudo dnf install
or the GNOME Software.Well...
Covid? Nope.
Monkeypox? Nope.
Influenza? Nope.
Asteroid? Nope.These questions show the quality of this community pretty well. I hope the majority of the members are not like this.

For the additional info, I tested further to make sure this issue is not on my system. I tried installing Opera just now with the official RPM package the exact same way that I installed Vivaldi, and I have Opera on my
repolist
without any issue.On Fedora, you can easily check whether you accidentally disabled any repository. For example, you can check whether you had disabled Vivaldi's repository by:
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled vivaldi
or
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled vivaldi-snapshot
If you had disabled Vivaldi's repository before, you should get no return from the command. But you will definitely see Vivaldi in your repositories list when you run
sudo dnf repolist
.But if you run
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled vivaldi
and it returns:Error: No matching repo to modify: vivaldi.
It means that this repository NEVER EXIST in your system, which is the return that I am getting, as shown in my screenshot below:
You can see more about adding or removing software repositories in Fedora.

These questions show the quality of this community pretty well. I hope the majority of the members are not like this.First of all I'm not a lady, so you need to apologize. Secondly you didn't mention anywhere that you have rebooted. Thirdly having joined a day ago you are not in the position to tell what the quality of the community is, except you 've been a lurker or a previously banned member who specifically has (re-)joined to provoke -because of some kind of personal empathy- one of the most respectful members, because those questions were not targeted to you and they do not concern you in the first place. The form of empathy has been seen again in this forum in the form of a gender harassment.
So, for being provocative, ungrateful and rude you should look in the mirror before wanting to become a member of this community, which I highly doubt it was your intention without saying a hi and introducing yourself, but just telling what Vivaldi has to do because "you can't use such a browser otherwise".
