@planetdance Hello, I have forked this off from the Snapshots topic. The Snapshots topic is not really the place for long troubleshooting threads as it will be closed once a new Snapshot is out.
Please post your OS and Vivaldi version here from Help > About.
Test all the troubleshooting steps, including testing in a clean profile.
-
@DoctorG thanks again, it doesn't seem to happen in a guest profile. What's the best thing to do now? If i start a new profile, do i loose passwords etc?
-
@planetdance Posting works, i do not have such issue on Facebook. Can not reproduce 6.0.2979.18 Win 11 22H2. Had 7 posts for one of my pages and nothing went wrong.
Where do you post? On your own pages?
-

Yes.
Do you use Vivaldi Mail, Feeds and Calendar?
If not there is a way to export logins and copy most files to a fresh profile. -
This post is deleted! -
@DoctorG no i don't use any of those.

@planetdance OK first of all, why do you have all those experimental flags set?
Like
disable-prompt-on-repost?"Normally when the user attempts to navigate to a page that was the result of a post we prompt to make sure they want to. This switch may be used to disable that check. This switch is used during automated testing.
"
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#disable-prompt-on-repostAnd it does not look correct:
-disable-prompt-on-repost,,min
There should be two--and,,mindoes not belong there.allow-file-access-from-filesis only for web developers and only if they usefile://urls in their HTML, which is bad practice anyway.Please click "Reset all" in
vivaldi://flagsand restart the browser first.If i start a new profile, do i loose passwords etc?
Testing in a new profile is temporary. Just create a new profile, login to Facebook and try to reproduce the problem by making some test posts.
-
@Pathduck thanks, i removed those flags, can't even remember why i had them, only i need allow-file-access for local html.
In the flags i left password import and media keys enabled on.There's a misunderstanding, the error on facebook is not related to posting, it just shows up when scrolling through the posts.

Are your HTML files using
file://URIs? If not you do not need this."By default, file:// URIs cannot read other file:// URIs. This is an override for developers who need the old behavior for testing."
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#allow-file-access-from-filesIn the flags i left password import and media keys enabled on.
The flag #hardware-media-key-handling is set to Enabled by default. Set to Disabled if you want it different.
The whole point of resetting flags is testing with as little changes done to your installation as possible. That's why all flags should be reset, then you can test.
Same with disabling extensions - you disable them, restart the browser, then test again.
You already tested in a Guest profile, which is almost a good test as a clean profile, and it "doesn't seem to happen in a guest profile". So that's a clear indication something in your current profile is causing this. It could be extensions, cache, cookies or something else.
Your last option is to clear out your profile completely and start from scratch, that's what we're trying to avoid by making you do these things.

@Pathduck big thanks so far, i'm gonna tackle this tomorrow again.

@Pathduck on my laptop i was able to add a new profile, then sync to my desktop to get password and bookmarks. The error on facebook is gone there.
On my desktop, if i want to add a new profile and click on sign in, i get a 404 with a google picture, 'the requested url was not found, that's all we know'. -

Have you followed the guide for creating a new profile?
https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/user-profiles/A new profile should not prompt for anything, it's a clean slate.
As always a screenshot of any error message might explain things better. I do not understand what a "404 with a google picture" is.
-
@planetdance Nice, you could fix broken profile with Vivaldi Sync from an other device.
-
@Pathduck
I click on add person
i click on sign in
-
@planetdance I've never seen that when creating a new profile. Either they've implemented something new and broken it or something is very broken on your whole install if that comes up on profile creation.
I will ask one of the team if they know what that thing is.
-
@Pathduck thanks!
Meanwhile updated to latest snapshot. -
@planetdance Does it come up the moment you create a new profile, or only first when you enable Sync in Settings > Sync?
Because this is how it should look when you do that:
https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/sync/#Access_SyncThere should be no prompt to sign in to anything before you visit Settings > Sync and choose to log in.
Meanwhile updated to latest snapshot.
OK yeah your're on Snapshot. That doesn't explain whatever's going on here.
On a general note though - I would not recommend you use Snapshots unless you are prepared to spend time troubleshooting stuff on your own. Snapshots are inherently buggy and they will break stuff, sometimes badly. If your technical skills are not that good, I recommend sticking with the Stable release for your own good.
-
@planetdance I can not see such popup add a new profile with Manager Users.
How do you see such popup? Do you have some steps to reproduce?
-
hey folks, i somehow managed creating a new profile, don't ask how, i think i did 'continue without account'. I could sync into the laptop to get pass/bookmarks and Facebook gives me no errors anymore. Thanks for the help and patience. Sorry for not answering everything, i broke a collarbone and i am typing everything with one hand.
I'm having trouble using the toolbar editor, the navigation toolbar looks wrong, but i will wait for the next non-snapshot to try that.
