I downloaded and installed the beta version of Chromium, and, unlike the stable version, that one DOES play audio.

So apparently this problem I found has been dealt with, and I just need to wait for this version of Chromium to eventually make it into vivaldi.

@Affabile Such wget and dpkg command is only needed once.
I you install by the two lines i showed you, the update will be done automatically and will be indicated in your Linux updates notification.

I did it, finally, switched away from Neon.
After this last case it was hard to not accept that maybe most of my Linux problems are actually Neon problems.
Formatted the partition and installed Tuxedo OS.
First impression is good, maybe some things that "shouldn't" work are actually working right...

I'm back to Vivaldi Stable, everything seems to be working, Sync is normal. Didn't checked yet video acceleration but I'll do some tests later.

Anyway, thanks to the Vivaldi Devs, you guys are really incredible.

It's actually not even an error just uncheck the box that says Focus page content in tab settings

@NetscapeNavigator - miss Dominic (FerenOS). Hope he's "feren" okay these days.

MXLinux always has Vivaldi on its default package installer list.

No Snap or Flatpak for me.
Perhaps the latter a bit, when .deb is not available at all.

@bucketfixture I installed the flatpak, can’t reproduce your issue. PWA icons show correctly, both as additional window and when being started separately.

@patsrides Good 🙂
Now enjoy surfing with Vivaldi on the Wild Waves of Web (WWW).

@daniel Thanks Daniel, that's good to hear and good luck with it although I assume you are aware the distro manager (Mint) does not recommend using unverified flatpaks due to the security risk and in fact has them disabled by default.

Here's some details for anyone else who may want to try sharing a flatpak vivaldi between linux distros running different "secret services".

To see what "secret service" your distro is running, you can run, if the command is
available or installable:
/usr/lib/qt6/bin/qdbus --session org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionUnixProcessID org.freedesktop.secrets

Failing that, you can try this: open a command line window and try:
ps aux | grep gnome-keyring-daemon
OR
ps aux | grep kwallet
to see which one is running (if any).

(Note you'll always get a hit on the grep itself, but ignore that one.)

While in a system running kwallet:

start kWalletManager from the menu under "Folders" click the "+" next to Chrome Keys click the "+" next to "Passwords" click "Chrome Safe Storage" then in the right hand panel, click "Show Contents" and the key is visible (and changeable, so be careful)

While in a system running gnome-keyring-daemon:

start "Passwords and Keys" (also called "Seahorse") from the menu go to Passwords - Login - Chrome Safe Storage view the key by clicking on the key icon (or copy it with the "copy" button); this
one is changeable too, so use due care

So you want to copy/paste the key from one of those into the other, depending on which system has the already working Vivaldi. (Be sure Vivaldi is NOT already launched on the system you are modifying.) Once you've pasted, you can start Vivaldi.

The fortunate part here is that Vivaldi (Chromium core) is ONLY using the distro's own "secret service" for the storage of its key; all the encryption is done internally to Chromium core, based on that key. So just use the same key and everything works.

@luetage I suspect whatever is happening it is not related to the dialog.

AFAIK (I was not involved implementing it) what the code does is 1) Detect if the decryption of data failed before the profile is initialized, 2) if so, display the warning, 3) depending on the user's decision, shut down Vivaldi, or continue.

@DoctorG , nope, nothing, its a fresh install and first thing I am setting up is vivaldi, it worked instantly in windows, just its not working here

@mtwb I'm not using the flatpak version (or any flatpaks) to know if I'm 100% correct /edit: it states "Legacy windowing system" so I probably am\ , but considering that on Wayland V. uses Xwayland by default (that is if you haven't manually changed the --ozone-platform-hint flag) xprop should work on it.

@HauntedBunnies yes it was doing the same with 124 as well, only yesterday the Chromium version* got bumped up.

*/added: (for both Chromium & V-snapshot)

@sandmuel I do not know how the app reports used memory. I can not test as Mission Monitor crashes my Ubuntu 22 LTS.

@Ruarí That will make Flatpackers happy.

@styx971

Hi,
Check this

https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/94703/guide-recover-sessions-workspaces-after-upgrade

Linux users reports they don't have that Folder,
Maybe it's placed somewhere else. 🤷♂

@Ruarí I know what caused the problem.

Since I want to move the cache and config etc. to another disk driver, so I create a symbolic link of ~/.var/app/com.vivaldi.Vivaldi and pointed it to another location, then error occured:

~/.var/app/com.vivaldi.Vivaldi/data/vivaldi-extra-libs/media-codecs-114023/libffmpeg.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

I do not know how to solve this if I insist wanting to change the ~/.var/app/com.vivaldi.Vivaldi folder to another disk driver.

Finally, I tried only make symbolic link of cache and config folder, and kept the data folder, things going well.

And btw, I choose to use the flatpak version because in China, vivaldi repo of debian is banned, it's annoying to update vivaldi automatically using apt without using a vpn, so I want to use the flatpak version.

Eventually, yes. Vivaldi for Flatpak has been soft-launched with little fanfare until we can fix the last remaining bugs and improve our release processes. It’s a work-in-progress. 📦

@ogredale Ze magicks of ze interwebs. Sometime it work sometime it don't.

I think it's the curse of your sad face avatar... 🤪
