phpmyadmin has a fatal javascript error in Vivaldi

Pedroski55

Hi,
just wanted to refresh my memory about databases. I log in to

and I see messages:

A fatal JavaScript error has occurred. Would you like to send an error report?

I click send error report, but just get more such messages.

I saw some older threads on stackoverflow saying PageXray extension was the cause, but I don't have that extension.

Any tips please?

Previously I could access my database from Vivaldi, no problem. Also, to check my database integrity, I opened mysql from the command line, chose a database, selected data from a table, no problem. So I would say this is not a MySQL problem.

@Pedroski55 Tell:

Vivaldi version
Use of Vivaldi Blocker
Extra Settings to block Javascript in Settings → Privacy → Website Permissions

Tell:

phpmyadmin version
Linux version
Desktop environment version

Tell if you can use phpmyadmin if

Vivaldi starts with Guest Profile
start in shell with vivaldi --disable-extensions

Can't find javascript in Settings
There is no Settings → Privacy → Website Permissions to check
phpmyadmin version: Version information: 5.1.1deb5ubuntu1
Linux Ubuntu 22.04 always up to date.

No can't use http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ as Guest Profile, same problem
Same problem starting vivaldi from the command line, can't use phpmyadmin:

pedro@pedro-HP:~$ vivaldi --disable-extensions

However, the same is happening in Firefox, so maybe this is a Ubuntu problem!

More info:

The problem is confined to this laptop.

On my little cloud server I can access my database in Vivaldi no problem!

I think the problem must be some Ubuntu update!

Sorry, that setting exists in 6.6. My fault.

Check internal page chrome://settings/content/javascript if JavaScript is blocked

@Pedroski55 said in phpmyadmin has a fatal javascript error in Vivaldi:

. I log in to

http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/

An other idea:
JavaScript is not loaded because localhost is not a trusted host.
Could be some error messages
Open Developer Console (File → Tool → Developer Tools)
Select Console
Click in phpmyadmin page
Hit F5 to reload page

Any red messages?

//EDIT: I need a check in my Ubuntu 22 LTS if that happens, too, some time to install needed. Stay tuned.

Pedroski55

Thanks again!

No, javascript is not blocked, the radio button in

Sites can use JavaScript

is clicked

The console in Developers Tools has lots of red messages, this one:

jquery-migrate.js?v=5.1.1deb5ubuntu1:562 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')
at jQuery.Tween.run (jquery-migrate.js?v=5.1.1deb5ubuntu1:562:36)

at ft (jquery.min.js?v=5.1.1deb5ubuntu1:2:58702)

The last part repeats many times!

I tested on my Ubuntu:
Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
php 2:8.1+92ubuntu1
apache2 2.4.52-1ubuntu4.7
mysql-server 8.0.36-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
//EDIT ariadb-server 1:10.6.16-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
phpmyadmin 4:5.1.1+dfsg1-5ubuntu1

Webserver and MySQL runs on localhost;
phpmyadmin works nice with Vivaldi 6.5.3206.61, no Javascript errors, login works, display of databases works.

Pedroski55

Thanks a lot!

I have many of these error messages in /var/log/apache2/error.log

[Tue Feb 13 15:42:55.442362 2024] [core:error] [pid 41155] [client ::1:41442] AH00037: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /usr/share/phpmyadmin/themes/pmahomme/jquery/jquery-ui.css

There was a core update this morning, I think that must have caused the problem!

Seems to be a permissions problem: all the .css are owner: root, group: root

DoctorG

@Pedroski55 Yes, broken jQuery libs from a phpmyadmin installation.

Try to purge

sudo apt purge phpmyadmin
sudo apt install phpmyadmin

I do not know which Ubuntu you use. And my magic is in repair
I tested only 22.04.3 LTS GNOME.

Pedroski55

Thanks again for your tips and advice!

I fixed it with this:

sudo chown -R pedro /usr/share/javascript

Some update must have changed the owner and group to root. Now I am the owner and www-data is the group.

I remember now, I had this problem once before!

DoctorG

@Pedroski55 Fixing the owner:rights is ok, but it would be better that you report that bug to a Ubuntu maintainer.
