Unsolved Unable to update Vivaldi Linux Mint

LeKeiser

Hello,

It's been a few days I'm unable to update Vivaldi on my Linux Mint LMDE latest version.
Everytime I try, I get this error :

Error: https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb stable Release.gpg
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F739AAC074C35BC8

I've checked the link and there is a Release.gpg file. Dunno what to do right now.

Thanx a lot for your help

I'm unable to update Vivaldi

Which version is currently installed?

Please tell content of vivaldi.list

test@ute:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.list
### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main

Looks lik you had added repo manually?

I would suggest:

sudo apt purge -y vivaldi-stable
wget -c https://vivaldi.com/download/vivaldi-stable_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i vivaldi-stable_amd64.deb

On a new install of Vivaldi, I also see the NO_PUBKEY message. I let Vivaldi install anyway and when the repo is next updated, apt should retrieve the key and will prompt the user to accept/reject it. Accepting the key saves it.

Strange, no for me on Debian 12 KDE.
7.1.3570.27 + 7.0.3495.29 do not show such NO_PUBKEY errors with apt udpate.

Changelog of 7.0....29 says:

[Linux] Update YUM/APT repositories to use key 74C35BC8 [KEY10]

@DoctorG I don't currently have Debian installed, but with Fedora and openSUSE (RPM package), I previously saw the NO_PUBKEY reference on new installations of Vivaldi.

Once it added the Vivaldi repo and then I proceeded to install Vivaldi Snapshot, that is when it pulled in the secure key from the repo and saved it.

DoctorG

@edwardp Please report the issue with YUM repo to bug tracker. Something @Ruarí can check.

VB-105521 (my report, RPM repo, unconfirmed)
VB-103761 (not my report, DEB repo, closed/invalid)

Hello everyone

So here is the result of the command :

Moi@lmint:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.list
### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main

Still had the error this morning.
Can't remember how I installed Vivaldi, it's been so long.
So you suggest a new install of Vivaldi ?
Oh btw :
7.0.3495.29 (Stable channel) stable (64 bits)

modedit: please use code blocks

DoctorG

Strange that my Ubuntu 24.04 works nice.
Could be that Mint as a newer Ubuntu 24 derivate needs something for the vivaldi...gpg key like (example):
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/vivaldi.....gpg] https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main

I do not know where the GPG signature key for vivaldi is on your Mint. I can not test.
Which Mint version is this?

ViIT

I run Slackware, but anytime in the past when I was Distro Hopping running Debian, or Deb based distros, I always made sure to look for APT repos to install apps from.

Have you seen this link for an APT repo for Vivaldi?

@DoctorG

Hello,

Here is the version of my Mint :

Operating System: LMDE 6 (faye)                   
          Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-30-amd64

I think the GPG signature of all the softwares are located in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d. Here I can find 3 vivaldi keys.

Hello,
I still have the same problem.

Error: https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb stable Release.gpg

DoctorG

@LeKeiser Strange that is want to fetch from https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb.

Perhaps you have some manually added entry in sources.list?
Please check with shell command:
grep -iR vivaldi /etc/apt/sources.list*
copy output and post with </> button as code block here.

LeKeiser

Hello DoctorG

Thanx for your help.

Here is the source.list you requested :

grep -iR vivaldi /etc/apt/sources.list*
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi-archive.list:deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/vivaldi-browser.gpg arch=amd64] https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb/ stable main
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.list:deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main

I've got 2 vivaldi files :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 117 15 nov.   2023 vivaldi-archive.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187 15 nov.   2023 vivaldi.list

There is a new update manager. I still have an error but I don't know what error it is. It asks to check my Internet connection...

Had you created the file and it content?

LeKeiser

@DoctorG
I'm pretty sure I didn't create the file.
I can't remember if I downloaded the installer from Vivaldi or if I installed it using the software installer thinggy from Mint. It was a long long time ago.
I guess I should uninstall it and reinstall it, huh ?

DoctorG

I checked now Mint 22.1 Xia (Cinnamon).

test@minze:~$ LANGUAGE=EN grep -iR vivaldi /etc/apt/

All is nice with updating over apt.

Remove it from file system.

No problem. As i saw now there is no Vivaldi browser existing in Mint Application Store.
I found a Vivaldi flatpak package when i enabled in Application Manager settings the use of untrusted flatpak packages.

Run in shell to remove all Vivaldi installer files:
sudo apt purge vivaldi-s*
Run in shell to fetch Vivaldi installer:
wget -c https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/vivaldi-stable_7.0.3495.29-1_amd64.deb
Run in shell to install Vivaldi:
sudo dpkg -i vivaldi-stable_7.0.3495.29-1_amd64.deb
