[Bug] Vivaldi freezes after system wokes up from sleeping mode

chrissi

The hint of @Aardvark could be the right way for finding the root cause. I have "CyberGhost" installed which implemented a virtual Ethernet adapter. It is only installed on the affected user and not on the other user without that "freezing" problem! Hopefully this will help to locate and solve the problem.

@Gwen-Dragon @chrissi @Aardvark I had the same issue which was driving me crazy. This was solved thanks to your help by deleting a virtual network interface belonging to blackberry link.

Good to hear. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to resolve.

1.15.1099.3 (and older versions) on Win7pro_x64 also randomly (quite often) freezing after wake-up of sleep or hibernation on my machine.

I only have extensions I also use in GoogleChrome and FF.
I have nvidia graphics.
Lenovo t540p.

@Gwen-Dragon
Is there any update for fixing that bug?

I was reading the notes of the last releases excitingly. But unfortunately VB-35563 was not mentioned

@chrissi No update yet (there are some thousands of bugs). We will just have to be patient.

But to quote the developer who kind-of-almost reproduced it,

"Tested on 1.14.1040.1 win7 x64

So ours isn't vmware, it's the Oracle VM

but when i put it in sleep, and wake it it can't go anywhere and times out because our vm somehow loses internet connection when it's woken, and i have to restart the vm to get it back, so not really conclusive here."

As you can see, it's not really the same as your bug, though possibly related. And only a teeny-tiny fraction of users see the bug - so it may be a while before it gains in priority and receives concentrated attention.

OK, thanks for your response. So the teeny-tiny fraction and me will be patient...

Same thing happens for me on Windows 10. Freezes for about a minute after hibernation startup. I tested with disabling the network power management setting, but no change. I made a bat script to run "on workstation unlock" in Task Scheduler to restart Vivaldi, and that fixes it. This is just a hack until the bug is fixed.

Here's the script:

@echo off
tasklist /fi "imagename eq vivaldi.exe" |find ":" > nul
if errorlevel 1 (
	taskkill /f /im "vivaldi.exe" >nul
	timeout /t 4 >null
	start "Vivaldi" "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe"
)

Disabling an unused hyper-v network adapter fixed the problem (windows 10).

I note that at hibernation/sleep startup there is no internet connection for some seconds, so my guess is that Vivaldi tries to use another network adapter and freezes for a while if this adapter doesn't work. Chrome also have this problem, it looses internet connection for about one minute, so this is most likely a Chromium problem, also since Firefox and Edge don't have this issue.

Btw, disabling the power management setting for the network adapter, like suggested by another forum user, does not work for me.

Since I realized this was a Chromium problem I searched for Chrome solutions to this, and found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/6iy32a/chrome_freezes_when_waking_from_sleep/

Turning off "Automatically detect settings" in Proxy settings was the solution for me (Windows 10). Now Vivaldi doesn't freeze anymore, even with all network adapters enabled.

@vvuser GREAT!!! It worked for me too and I am quite happy with that solution.
Thank you very much!!!!
