Vivaldi not working on ubuntu 18
-
I installed the OSgeoLive distrubution (Ubuntu 18.04) on virtualbox by oracle and everything works fine but not Vivaldi. I can install Vivaldi but when I launch vivaldi, the entire system freezes while loading the getting started page and I have force close the virtual machine and restart it. This also happens with the latest snapshot.
I assisgned 128mb VRam, 6144mb Ram, 4 processor cores, 3d acceleration enabled.
Any idea why it happens and how to fix it?

Have you tried Chromium for comparison?

Yes, that works BUT, it also runs very buggy. It is not able to render pages flawless what result in flickering items

Which Virtualbox driver is used for the display?
You mean "graphics controller"? then VMSVGA

I had reported such issue to Vivaldi bugtracker. But the issue should be investigated on Oracles side.
Do you have a link for me so I can include it in the report to Oracle?
Btw, I disabled 3d acceleration and now it works but Vivaldi can still be slow (noticeable slower then on my windows and youtube music is still broken on the VM).

@Gwen-Dragon Sorry, my mistake, didn't read your reply properly. YOu said to leave the reported bug here, thought I should include the vivaldi bug in the oracle bug. Will share the link to the bug report in a reply here soon

But i did not find any solution and i could not register at Virtualbox forum. Please ask for this special problem at Virtualbox forum and report back.
Here the link to the bug ticket, if you have additions tell me so I can add them. https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19208
Firefox on the VM works much faster so I can also use that. It's just easier to use Vivaldi because oft he bookmark sync.
