DoctorG

No progress.

Yeah, i use VIAL to configure my keyboard, i just started using Vivaldi and its annoying to have to go back to Opera to configure it. just posting this so maybe it gets more attention lol.

Many user can not use Vivaldi properly and get basically forced to use another browser. I'm not sure if this is a good approach to get more users. I also hope someone is going to fix it soon.
And good to put attention to it, I also think many people simply do not register an account for this issue. They just switch to another browser before they actually dive into Vivaldi

I just wanted to say that I am also waiting for this to be fixed.

I don't even see why it takes so long, since it is extremely easy to reproduce, and it was introduced by some Vivaldi's commit since other browsers works normally. So few bisects in Git history should point to the commit that broke it...

Would "+1" replies help the bug get more attention, if any?

If so, I'm adding mine.

If not.... I'm sorry for posting, and sad for using Vivaldi sometimes, given there's a little pile of unsolved bugs/UX issues on my side: (

Still a issue with Vivaldi 7.1.3570.30/33; i updated bug tracker.

@igorsantos07 Popup to select device appears? But does not connect?

igorsantos07

@DoctorG Exactly. My use case is https://usevia.app. It finds my keyboard, I select it, but then nothing happens. If I press the "Authorize" button again, it simply shows my keyboard again, with "- Paired" by the end of the keyboard model. Selecting it still does nothing, differently from Chrome.

I tried the same using gksudo (which right now, is required from Chrome to properly connect to my keyboard on Linux), but Vivaldi does exactly the same: nothing. No info on the console either.

No useful information at vivaldi://device-log either; here I unplugged, re-plugged the keyboard, and then tried to pair at usevia.app:

@igorsantos07 Is this mentioned issue https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/792760

igorsantos07

@DoctorG Nope! It doesn't crash at all, given I was even able to get logs after trying to access the keyboard on UseVia. It just doesn't do anything after I select the device on the integrated popup.

DoctorG

@igorsantos07 That is known and no-connect is known report and covered by the mentioned master bug, too.

@DoctorG
Has this been fixed yet or is there some work around available other than using another browser?

No and No.
Use a different browser for this task.

DoctorG

Hello, is it confirmed for MacOS too ? Thanks

DoctorG

@zookeeper Does it fail for you on Mac?

zookeeper

Yes @DoctorG impossible to make it work, for example with Ledger devices, i've opened a topic here : https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/106153/impossible-to-use-hid-devices?_=1741540501782

DoctorG

@zookeeper I willupdate the bugtracker now adding MacOS.

zookeeper

Thank you, hope it will be resolved at some point as it's weird it's not working anymore and it's quite important.

What I just found is that, at least on Windows, both https://usevia.app and https://test.gulikit.com/?language=1 installed as PWA work as intended. Maybe this can help you to find the bug and get it fixed.

DoctorG

@AlphaGeekV2 You mean the PWA created by Vivaldi work, but same address in a tab not?
