Today's 4.1.2369.11-1 Crashes on Arch Linux

@xakep Please in english language or post in your local rus forum.

The downgrade option for me was an easier route than disabling resolved, since I actually use that. Fixes are on the way upstream (apparently around the end of August?) and Vivaldi devs are aware of it, as noted here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/502937
So it doesn't seem like it will be all that long before the fix finds its way to Vivaldi.

Thanks for suggesting to downgrade the package, I wouldn't have thought to do that since I've never had to do it before. But if anyone needs help downgrading go to this link -> https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/downgrading_packages
-
Perhaps I wasn't clear, I'm downgrading Vivaldi, not systemd-resolved . I know it isn't really Vivaldi's fault, but the combination of the latest Vivaldi and the latest resolved is apparently what can produce the issue, and downgrading Vivaldi for me is the easier short-term workaround.

@guigirl Why would you even think I was talking about downgrading anything other than Vivaldi? I didn't read anyone mention downgrading systemd and I didn't mention it myself. Maybe I should've laid out the steps to be more clear? If so then I can do that:
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkgls- Look for the vivaldi package in your cache directory, version previous to 4.1 and copy it. I will post the version which was in my cache in the next command...
sudo pacman -U vivaldi-4.0.2312.41-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Correct me if I'm wrong but downgrading Vivaldi shouldn't break anything since it's not something the system relies upon. I really don't know where you got the idea that I was somehow suggesting to downgrade anything besides Vivaldi. I posted the link to the wiki on downgrading packages so people could read it themselves and it would be more clear on what they were actually doing. I wasn't the first one to suggest downgrading Vivaldi so I'm not sure why you targeted me but I only posted to say thanks to the person who suggested it because now I'm using Vivaldi again...

Best practice if you don't want to downgrade is to temporarily stop service in case it's enabled by any other "Chrome" based browsers you have like so as which worked for me :
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service sudo systemctl stop --now systemd-resolved.serviceUntil they fix it. Once fixed just reverse it
sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service sudo systemctl start --now systemd-resolved.serviceHope this helps...

Hello gostly! I'm the OP of this thread, and it was my original comment of downgrading V so that I could continue to use it because of the issue the new version has with systemd-resolved.
I have something to suggest to you, and any other members reading this thread. While the above method you describe to downgrade a package will work, there is a much, much easier, faster, and official way of doing the same thing for almost any package that is installed on your system.
What I suggest is to install the 'downgrade' package from the AUR. Current version is 10.1.0-1 . Once that package is installed, it's a breeze to downgrade whatever you choose, for whatever reason you have. It's your system, you make the choices as to whether you like a new version of a program or not.
Once 'downgrade' is installed, usage is the same for any package you choose. From your terminal, enter the below command, and you're good to go.
sudo downgrade <package_name>For example sudo downgrade vivaldi
The result of that command will give you a list of the available versions you can downgrade to, in a numbered list. Enter the number of your choice, and if that particular version is not stored locally on your system, 'downgrade' will go out and download it from a repo. It will then install the version you choose, and that's that. If you change your mind, you can simply Ctrl+C out of it to quit the 'downgrade' program.
I have used the 'downgrade' package for any number of reasons over the last 6 or 7 years of running Arch, and it's a valuable and powerful tool to have in your toolbox.
So as I said, your listed method will work, however after installing 'downgrade' there is only one command to enter, and the rest is gravy!
An FYI for better Arch living ...

New Stable 4.1.2369.15 fixed the systemd issue!
Big Party for Archies now. -

Big Party for Archies now.That was a fast response by the Devs. Good news, indeed!

For all Arch Linux users, the updated version just became available in the repos about 5 minutes ago, and I can confirm that the new version does indeed work with systemd-resolved enabled.
Nice work, V team, and thanks for all the effort!
My OS: Arch Linux with the i3 Window Manager. And now, the GREATEST browser of them all!!

@doppleganger FYI you don't have to wait that much, Ike, who is the Trusted User who updates the package, first uploads it to his pre-community page here https://repo.herecura.eu/blackeagle-pre-community/x86_64/ . Or even faster -immediate- you can just download his PKGBUILD (and the eula) and just edit Vivaldi's version and SHA512 (or you can use SHA256 which is easier to extract from Vivaldi's repo) and make the package yourself. It's just a stripped binary from the .rpm copied to the right location and given permissions afterall...
P.S. Also, a 2nd fyi, it's the Chromium team that has fixed it and since it was a minor fix they managed to merge it quickly enough with the 1st Chromium stable update that happens around 2 weeks after the initial release. Vivaldi releases normally ~2 weeks later than Chromium so it "automatically" benefits from such updates, but this time (having been released much earlier than usually) it did not.

Interesting. Thanks for the info, I've stored it away for future reference!

I use Vivaldi on a Raspberry Pi 400 using Manjaro-ARM XFCE (stable version), Manjaro-ARM KDE Plasma (stable version), and Raspberry Pi OS (standard 32-bit version). The latest version of Vivaldi on Raspberry Pi OS is fully functional. Vivaldi on Manjaro-ARM XFCE has the same results that you got 10 days ago when launching it from the GUI under the Applications button. I ran it from the terminal just like you did and got the same errors minus the pathway. I reported this to the Manjaro-ARM team on August 5, 2021
Today i tried to load Vivaldi from the GUI and it loaded but would not log me in.I had to enter my password by hand and click on the login button. When I did it showed the following error in the sync section of Settings
I have read through this topic and see that the Chromium team did a fix. I just wonder when it will get to Manjaro-ARM. I have checked the repository and no updates at this time.

While I do have a RPi, I don't use it anymore. However, I feel you did the correct thing by also posting in the Raspberry ARM section of this forum. You probably stand the best chance of getting help there.
I hope you get it resolved in short order!
