WhatsApp Web don't work

wolfi.thomas

Hi, I use Xubuntu 18.04 (64bit) and Vivaldi 1.15.1147.36 (Stable channel) (64-Bit)
when I try to use WhatsApp Web, I open the page and the qrcode only seems to be seen half a second, only the whats app logo stays...
So, I cannot connect Smartphone and WhatsappWeb and can't use it.

Firefox Browser on the same PC works..
(Adblock is deactivated for this webpage)

Hi @wolfi-thomas , as I was interested on this issue I made a short search and I found this post about it. The issue seems related to hardware acceleration. Try to disable and see if it works.

Hi you are great and found the issue... It's related to hardware accleration. I use the propetairy nvidea driver. If I start vivaldi without hardware accleration, it works. So I connected vivaldi and whatsapp once without ha, now i can use it normal way....
