Vivaldi 7 not adding PPA in Ubuntu

draki

Title says it all - I've installed Vivaldi 7, but I no longer have the PPA details in the Ubuntu Package Manager. I tried reinstalling following the instructions here https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/install-update/manual-setup-vivaldi-linux-repositories/, but no PPA added to the software sources..

Any suggestions anyone?

DoctorG

@draki Not need to add for manual setup of repo.

Download
install deb package with dpkg -i vivaldi-stable_amd64.deb
Repo will be added,
check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

And on my Ubuntu 22 LTS software-properties-gtk listed the Vivaldi repo for Other apps.

draki

Nope - tried:

dpkg -i vivaldi-*.deb

and

sudo apt-get -y install ./vivaldi*.deb

and neither add the PPA to sources for Ubuntu 24.10

DoctorG

@draki I checked only for 24.04.1 LTS

est@ute-2:~$ ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

As you can see Vivaldi deb package has added a repo file!

OK, i try to upgrade my 24.04 LTS to 24.10.
//EDIT: Currently running sudo do-release-upgrade
I will post more when upgraded to 24.10.
Same as in 22 LTS, repo file is added below /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

What is that? How do i start it?

There are no PPA URLs for Vivaldi repos.

Now, i do not understand you issue. Sorry.
Can you please explain, perhaps language barrier, i am not native English speaking person.

This is what I mean - there is no entry for Vivaldi... I'm on 24.10 and I suspect it's something to do with that..
I know what it should do - my point is it's not performing as expected - there is no PPA added to the source list so I cannot do automatic upgrades

@draki My 24.10 has the repo entries for Vivaldi Snapshot and Stable this after installing

Stable:

wget -c https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/vivaldi-stable_7.0.3495.10-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./vivaldi-stable_7.0.3495.10-1_amd64.deb

Snapshot 6.10

$ wget -c https://downloads.vivaldi.com/snapshot/vivaldi-snapshot_6.10.3490.4-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./vivaldi-snapshot_6.10.3490.4-1_amd64.deb

As you can see repos are added after install.

And after Ubuntu 24.10 restart the update manager shows this:

Vivaldi installed with dpkg adds correct repo information, something on your Ubuntu seems to be broken.

I see nothing on your screenshot as you blurred it.

Please, check this:
Open Terminal
Show content of folder and type:
ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
