Missing Keys Issue SOLVED

It works (updates) current versions Vivaldi 6.6, and Linux Mint 21.3 (March 2024...)

as
https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb stable Release:
NO_PUBKEY 124F149833EAAB8EE
repository... not signed

This is a short solution, just in 3 steps, taken from previous messages in forum topic.

@fourier You post tips, but you have a broken apt repo configuration – could mislead users.

OMG, I regret if I did a mess. I
worked fine for me for the first time. The previous URL (terminal install...) does not solved MY issue.

Where (URL) this apt repository information for VIvaldi can be found ?.
It is not cristal clear, neither a manual installation solved apt issue since 5.x/6.0 (I recall that it worked before) . The forum is plenty of unpleased(disoriented) users,

No problem. Such can happen

Where (URL) this apt repository information for VIvaldi can be found ?.

With the old Vivaldi archive repo? As i remember, that could have been a old help page from 3 or more years ago or a tip from an other user.
Oh, or from 2015 or later as a search told me.

Official Linux install is in help page (F1)

@DoctorG @fourier I recall seeing this error when installing Vivaldi (Stable) on Debian. But during Snapshot installation, I recall key information being displayed at that point.

But after adding the repos to an RPM-based installation, then installing both Stable and Snapshot at the same time, dnf displays the key information and prompts to install it.

Maybe there is something dnf is doing differently than dpkg?

I doe not imagine why package management on Debian/Ubuntu-alike distributions can fail with apt, but i suffered over the years sometimes with Ubuntu, Debian and Mit from this. Only way to solve it was: uninstall with apt, delete all vivaldi*gpg and install by downloaded package with dpkg.
More insteresting fact: my office PCs (Debian 10,11,12 over the years) did not had such trouble. Only my test Linux installations on my testing workstation. Perhaps i crapped some Mint/Debian/Ubuntu installation? Linux desktop is not my daily work, only Linux servers and Windows PCs.

I installed Vivaldi last month on Ubuntu with no issues using this:

wget -qO- http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=i386,amd64] http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main"
But now when I try it, I get this error after doing
apt-get update:

Ign:7 http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb stable Release.gpg

Help please.

I have seen this with both the .deb and .rpm installation packages.

I have filed a bug report on this: VB-105521.

@alexisss0022 Guessing... should be "https:"

In theory you could just remove the signing key you installed (important!!), download the latest vivaldi manually and install/upgrade. It should install the correct signing keys during install via a daily cron job

This issue is still happening on Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS). I just upgraded this evening. The signed-by field is missing from the file. Only Microsoft VS Code and Vivaldi are generating this warning with apt. Steam, OBS, PgAdmin 4, and UnityHub are all fine and have this information.

vivaldi.sources

Types: deb
URIs: https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/
Suites: stable
Components: main

All of the other valid apt sources are adding a gpg key to the keyring.

That said, I can still just download the update from Vivaldi directly and sudo dpkg -i <package name>.

It is also throwing an error/info message about i386 not being supported anymore:

Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

Vivaldi discontinued support for 32-bit Linux some time ago.

This was on 64-bit Linux so I'm not even sure why it said this.

At any rate, I installed the latest Vivaldi on Fedora 40 (decided to switch from Ubuntu 24.04) and didn't get that message.

@themet4lgod What I noticed, was once I install Stable via the download from Vivaldi's web site, then use the distro's package installer (rpm/dpkg/zypper) to install Snapshot afterwards, I was then prompted to import a key for the Vivaldi repository. This may or may not be the same key referenced.

Good luck with Fedora. I'm also testing Rawhide (Fedora's development branch).

@edwardp I did notice when I updated Vivaldi this evening it imported a key so I guess everything is fine now.
