Recent versions of Vivaldi can't connect Ledger wallet to tronscan.org

0001

I remain stuck on Vivaldi 6.6.3271.61 (the last 6.6 version, I believe). All subsequent versions of Vivaldi (I have even tried the 6.10.3493.3 snapshot) will not connect my Ledger wallet to https://tronscan.org/ (I have no idea if this problem only occurs on Linux or on all platforms).

When I press the "Connect Wallet" button on the web page, it displays the wallet address immediately on the 6.6 version (which I then select and verify on the device), while subsequent versions of Vivaldi just show an endlessly spinning "connecting."

@0001 Had you tried with 6.10.3493.3 and a clean profile? The popup does not appear to select the USB device?
Tested on Debian 12 KDE 5 Plasma (deb package) with a used profile, no extensions, standard settings as done after Vivaldi onboarding (Welcome page).

Works, look no spinning wheel:
Ledger connects

Please try the troubleshooting steps, including testing in a clean profile and disabling adblocking/extensions:

Yes, I tried that just a few hours ago (unpacked Vivaldi in a temporary directory, and created a profile in that directory).

I don't see the wallet connected in the screenshot (the web page still shows the "Connect Wallet" button).

Since I still have to use 6.6.3271.61, I always test newer versions by unpacking them to a temporary directory, and then starting Vivaldi from the command line with the --user-data-dir=/path/to/temporary/installation/ parameter so as not to affect my current profile.

Why unpacking?
A 6.10 can be installed with rpm or deb package in regular Linuxes, it does not affect the Vivaldi Stable profile data.
Install it and try, so i know what is wrong.

I do not know anything about your Linux, your Desktop Environment and Display Server.

I don't use an rpm or deb package manager. Vivaldi has long remained the only program on my system not compiled from source.

I do not know anything about your Linux, your Desktop Environment and Display Server.

I currently run xorg-server-21.1.13. I don't use a "Desktop Environment," but have Fluxbox as a window manager (probably will dump that too, when I get around to it - I just prefer having a bunch of terminals open, and starting every program from the command line).

DoctorG

@0001 And which Linux? Is this a derivate of Debian or Ubuntu?

//EDIT: I will try Ubuntu 22 Fluxbox now.

DoctorG

@0001 You do not see the connection popup which tells you to connect to a HID device?
Had you checked my GIF some posts before?

Perhaps the popup for WebHID device is behind the Vivaldi window?

I remember i had when testing some weeks ago a XFCE install where popups were not created. That was a XFCE bug, not Vivaldi's fault.

No. I downloaded and compiled every library and program on the system (except for Vivaldi) from source. Consider it a custom distribution.

I see a popup (the first time I attempt to make a connection) with the device name in it but the wallet does not connect to the page.

I want to see a connected wallet with an address visible (obviously, feel free to blur or pixelate as much of the address as necessary).

DoctorG

I have no ledeger device, i am brave enuff to ask if ledger device is detected:
Please check internal page vivaldi:device-log
Is it listed as USB HID?

Why did you claim it "Works" then? I didn't say that Vivaldi couldn't see the device. I said that every version of Vivaldi after 6.6.3271.61 "will not connect my Ledger wallet to https://tronscan.org/" (it has worked for years, and continues to work with 6.6.3271.61 and older, but will not connect with any version newer than that).

i am brave enuff to ask if ledger device is detected:

It appears with the "USB" box checked, but not with "HID" (without USB) checked.

USB device added: path=/dev/bus/usb/001/076
vendor=11415 "Ledger",
product=[redacted],
serial=[redacted],
guid=[redacted]

Again, when I press "Connect Wallet" (and select Ledger), the wallet address appears immediately in older versions (which I then verify on the device), and I get nothing but a spinning "Connecting" in newer versions.

I wanted to check if Vivaldi detects the device as connected to USB.
I can not say more. You should wait until a person with a ledger device comes up here and debugs your issue.
Sorry, to have wasted my and your time.

As an update, this problem still exists in Vivaldi 7.0.3495.6.

The last version of Vivaldi that can connect my Ledger to this site remains 6.6.3271.61.

DoctorG

@0001 Same with 7.0.3495.15.
No fix yet.

DoctorG

@0001 In meantime use Chromium 131 or Firefox ESR to administrate your Ledger.

The problem still exists in Vivaldi 7.2.3621.67.

DoctorG

Sad, but WebUSB is a rare used protocol ind less attention to be fixed.
