[Solved] Can't upgrade to 1.1 rc 3 on Kubuntu 12.04

Pepperflash is no longer available for 12.04, but the C library conflict is the biggie. Any workaround? TIA Joe shelelia@halo:~/pq$ sudo apt-get install vivaldi-stable Reading package lists...

thanks for reporting, this will be fixed soon. The minimum required libstdc++6 is supposed to be lower.

in the mean time you can force-install

wget https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb/pool/main/vivaldi-stable_1.1.453.47-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i –force-all vivaldi-stable_1.1.453.47-1_amd64.deb

Or, in my case, "…i386.deb." That did it for me. Thanks, bjorgvin!

Asked our dev team about this. No, there's no real workaround for PepperFlash in this context. but we are doing some tests internally. If something comes up, watch this space!

P.S. 16.04 just came out. I know, not a solution, but it is out!

Thanks. That worked, but the wget came back not found for some reason and I downloaded it manually from the browser.

Thanks. I'm working on a 15.10 install elsewhere, but it's not ready for prime time.

The new 1.1 release fixed this issue. Vivaldi installs/upgrades from the repo again.
