Centos 7 cannot open -dont run vivaldi

Docop

Hi So from running a fresh centos7 minmal, with xfce and epel package... I cannot run vivaldi. I install with :
wget https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/vivaldi-stable-2.4.1488.36-1.x86_64.rpm
or with this :
wget https://downloads.vivaldi.com/snapshot/install-vivaldi.sh

i can see the icon in the menu, but it don't lunch at all.
Of course, if i put : yum install firefox, it work straigh up without any problem.
Is Vivaldi is compatible with centos7 ?

And why is that hard to find out the line .rpm package to install this thing.. Anyway if it work.. I only see centos not working from seaching on this.
thanks for any hint. The tab management look great.

@Docop

I'm not entirely sure how you are installing Vivaldi (the steps after wget has completed).

If you start vivaldi from within a terminal, what is the output?

Docop

Hi
so direct from terminal : vivaldi

No suitable library for HTML5 proprietary media (MP4[H.264/AAC]) was found,
therefore only open codecs will play.

To add support for proprietary media, issue the following command and restart Vivaldi:

  curl https://launchpadlibrarian.net/414953672/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_73.0.3683.75-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb |\
  tail -c+1077 | tar JxC ~ --wildcards \*libffmpeg.so --xform 's,.*/,.local/lib/vivaldi/,'

[23787:23787:0406/131721.091208:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(89)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

So i did do the package for the libff. , and retry the app. I still get error message, but just the zygote msg.

Docop

ok, search more and find.. from terminal : vivaldi --no-sandbox look to run it, but gave lot of error when started. In the terminal window. Also, seem a bit slower vs firefox..

@Docop said in Centos 7 cannot open -dont run vivaldi:

Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported

Try running it as a user, that may 'solve' your issue.

The real solution is to NEVER run ANYTHING as root, use sudo if you need root access. Really, you do not want to run apps as root. Cute animals die every time you do.

Docop

@klompvoet Well.. ok, let say, i say i save some animals today.. But for protection on a vps.. I will used xrdp to connect to, do i might just desactive the user root and the ssh ? As to not have lot of user.
And having another user with root privilege.. doesn't it result in the same thing at the end ?

( ok for vivaldi, a different user name do not give error..)
