Chromium update and status bar clock – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1843.5

Folgore101

@grishka Yes Opera had this function, but it was just a simple clock, as they implemented it in Vivaldi is much more useful. If they implement the possibility to have reports every hour will be even more convenient.

@Pesala All that matters to me is to have that feature in the final release of the next stable version. It's not about when, it's about if ever.

VB-61700 related bug? -- starting via an ssh connection to X11 display on another machine fails.
-
The prior work-around for 2.11 (to use --no-xshm command line option) has no effect.
-
In this case, with vivaldi --version reporting this...
Vivaldi 2.12.1843.5
...no window appears at all.
-
Instead these errors result when run in a terminal

and here again using the prior work-around that includes the --no-xshm opt:
#error log elided in this quote see original post:
-
Remote X11 display is PRETTY TYPICAL; 'twould be nice if this were tested on the various releases.

I posted this bug (with a link to the present post) over in the bug reporting page but no VB-nnnnn is given back.

It would nice to be able to track it (in the "What is the status of this VB" thread) -- but without a VB-nnnnn number from the bug submitter, how do we do this? Could someone please provide the VB number?

Note that it may be related to VB-61700 previously confirmed and still open, although it manifests slightly differently: In the present case no window appears at all. The net result is that Vivaldi cannot be used with a remote X11 display.

Sorry to be dense, but how do I disable/hide the clock?

Pesala

@wpcoe Right-click, customise, remove from toolbar.

@npro: i use and love vivaldi but, unlike you, i can see good things in other browsers. i dont like many opera things, but i miss the selection pop up (with currency converter) i have to use a very bad extension to simulate it, i miss the add bookmark button, where you can select the image from images from the web or a zoomable snapshot, the ad blocker implementation is beautiful, the speed dial is better in my opinion, i used to use the flow feature a lot (it is a very nice feature), the pop up video button is wonderful and i havent use the new workspaces feature, but it seems very useful.

maybe you have not tried these features, but if you do, i guarantee you will miss them too, because is they have done a very good job, just as I would miss many features from vivaldi if i leave it.

you can deny that every new feature in vivaldi existed already in opera 12 (which new great features are to come in? mail client? rss feeder?) and almost every new feature in opera is original and actually new in the browser world

@pesala: Thanks! I knew it had to be something obvious & easy.

Ayespy

@AlesPG There's a reason for that. The people who invented Opera are inventing Vivaldi, now that Opera has changed its philosophy.

AlesPG

@ayespy: hey, i am not talking about philosophy here! i am talking about nice little original features that improves the user experience, nothing else. and opera, despite their many cons, is doing a great job there.

i know original opera team is making vivaldi, thats why i am here. but those days, opera was a reference in browsing history and invented many things that are standards now. current opera have kept being innovative in that matter, and vivaldi is not, that's all i say.

Ayespy

@AlesPG Opera has a 20-year head start. Vivaldi is definitely innovating. It is producing capabilities literally no other browser, and certainly no other Chromium-based browser has. Opera has a 200-person development team - Vivaldi, about 20. So this early in the game, it is still a bit slow going. And since the original Opera had exclusive control of every layer of its own code, unlike Vivaldi now (since they have to use Chromium's engine), innovation was actually easier, even starting out with a small team (which they grew to over 200 devs). You are not comparing apples to apples.

When putting the clock further to the left, most of it just is covered. Wanted to bug report, but idk how to add images there, so I thought that it's easier this way.

Status bar clock seems to show time with AM/PM notation, which is wrong for my locale (though the Downloads panel has the same problem).

Anyway, I noticed another problem in the 2.12 snapshots - Twitter's old UI (accessible with User-agent switcher set to Opera 12.14) is partially broken: the Like button doesn't work, videos don't play and you can't answer polls. This problem isn't present in 2.11.

@ender85 set Vivaldi language to English (UK) instead of English (US)
This will set all the hours and dates in Vivaldi to use English notation instead of American.

Reddit is semi-broken for me too as it seems to be for other folks - no subreddits load in the sidebar, my profile fails to load as well. Incognito doesn't fix it. It seems to be okay in 2.11 stable and in Chrome stable, so I'd say it's something with this snapshot specifically.

luetage

@iAN-CooG That's not a solution, time format should be independent of locale…
e.g. https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/24209/option-to-change-date-and-time-format?_=1583745205685

Pesala

@jumpsq You can reply to a bug report and attach an image. For me, it is fine with just an image. However, if I show only text, there is no padding to the left of the time.

@luetage whatever you want to consider it, it's how you can achieve the result for now.

This works for time, but date separators are still wrong - Vivaldi should use system locale for date/time unless explicitly overriden.

@gwen-dragon: Curious about that one. Do you know what it's caused by? Apparently not Chromium 81 as it seems fine in Chrome 81 (and 82 for that matter).

[macOS][Regression] Proprietary media is not working correctly (VB-64258)"

Linux too?

Both TuneIn and Spotify do not work on my 64-bit Linux install of Vivaldi. I have cleared both my cache and my cookies. I also try to re-enable the DRM flag in chrome://settings/content and "sudo chmod -R +r /var/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/WidevineCdm", but it still did not work.
