Alternative install options for Vivaldi on Linux
-
You can do this in the forum (as far as I know there isn't any special location for requests so just start your own new topic) or on the other hand a lot of people do this right here on the blog in the comment section for the latest snapshot- and beta-versions.

Yea - I recently switched from Windows 7 to Scientific Linux 7.1. Many times I get tripped up thinking like a Windows user - the concepts don't always map 1 to 1. This isn't exactly the place to discuss this at length, but maybe a forum or PM or something. Anyway, you certainly can choose to install from a tarball, but usually I find that just getting an appropriate repo saves me a lot of effort vs compiling myself. And there are a lot of repos out there if you're more interested in software than stability (though I haven't found any stability problems either - in an enterprise you wouldn't add the Vivaldi or AshoK repos for instance). So if you're just using the default repos, then you won't find A LOT of software.
One of the hardest thing is indeed installing to different locations. However, why are you usually doing this? For me it's disk space, but then Linux has symlinks that let you fool the software into thinking the install is in /usr/local/bin/mysoft when you've got that pointing to /mnt/exthd/mysoft for instance. So that's a work-around.
As to doing something complicated - you can do it on Linux, you just need to figure out how. Different things are complicated compared to Windows - but believe me, Windows isn't actually simpler, just more familiar.

New snapshot on Monday? I know it's Friday, and if we don't have a new one today, and tomorrow is the weekend, hoping we get one soon after.

Thanks, I appreciate seeing tutorials like this. I'd like to switch to using Linux, but there's too much stuff that seems basic, like installing stuff to non-standard locations, that I don't know how to do.
• first you can try live cd
• there is also the dual boot
• linux terminal makes things easier -
I posted a topic in the Linux forum to continue any discussion:

I got an upgrade (on Windows) a couple of hours ago. No blog post?

So, maybe today we can enjoy a new build …
-
Well, I got a new build with a long list of bugfixes attached when I started Viv today…
-
Version?
-
Oh, great! we wait then!
-
Really? I just checked again and there was no build. What build are you on now?
-
Strangely, still 365.3 now I look, so I have no idea what happened. Must have been a glitch.
-
Once tomorrow comes, it'll have been 2 weeks since the last snapshot. I'm guessing it'll be something good!
-
They are just coming off vacation. I think it's natural to expect things to be slow for the first little while.
-
I know, but I'm like a little kid at the candy store. I'm drooling for more snapshots, man.

I got the black tab bug again. Was supposed to be fixed in build 1.0.344.24:
VB-11006 Tabs break when "discarded" (black tabs, tabs not updated).Win7 x64 Vx32 (build 1.0.365.3)

My favorite Linux distro is Fedora KDE Plasma in the current version 23. Is a lightweight system, adapted well on my laptop as the memory, fluidity, performance, and others, and has many features integrated into the overall system, basic and advanced, I use this distribution along with Windows 10 laptop. The Vivaldi browser is available for this distribution? I appreciate the help of anyone who can guide me, grateful friends in space.

I'm using Redhat 6 and get the following error when trying to run the standalone installation. This is for Vivaldi 1.7.735.46-1_amd64:
./vivaldi --user-data-dir=profile &
./vivaldi: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: versionCXXABI_1.3.5' not found (required by ./vivaldi) ./vivaldi: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: versionGLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by ./vivaldi)Is there a workaround for this? Since I'm running this on an enterprise machine I don't have the capability to update to the newest libraries.
-
Just a quick update.... the problem appears to be that Vivaldi is compiled with a newer version of gcc. The version I currently have access to is gcc 4.4.7 which does not include libstdc++.so.6.0.16.
