Graphical Glitch

[kzhe]

Just installed the RPM on my new laptop with Nobara (Fedora based) distro. The tab bar overlaps its text and does not work! Please help.

[kzhe]

Looks like it happens based on what tab I'm hovering on

[kzhe]

It's livable with dark/black text but still broken

Hi, this can be a problem with GPU/driver and Vivaldi, you can try a flag:
vivaldi://flags/#disable-accelerated-2d-canvas
I forgot if enabled or disabled is the default, on my systems it doesn´t matter, simply try.
Please add your Vivaldi version, GPU and window manager.

Cheers, mib

Anyways It didn't work.

@kzhe
You meant the flag does not change anything?
Check with Nvidia settings if vSync is enabled, try to disable it.
You have to restart the xserver or reboot.

Cheers, mib

How would I disable vSync? I do not have an active windows partition.

@kzhe In NVidia Panel on Linux. You do not have one?
Then use program nvidia-settings

[kzhe]

I found it, I can't find Vsync tho

Oh wait I use

[kzhe]

Wait that's not supported... what do I use?

[kzhe]

@DoctorG I dont see where to disable VSync

@kzhe
I don´t have a Nvidia card anymore and my nvidia setting looks completely different 6 month ago.
Please search the web, there are thousands of pages about nvidia settings and vsync.
Iirc you can even disable it from the command line as root:

/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -a 'SyncToVBlank=0'

Keep in mind to set it back to 1 if it does not change anything for the Vivaldi issue.
More important, no guarantees, such settings can break your system.

I checked and even switched to ubuntu. Didn't find a way yet, still looking. Please help. I've looked on the internet furiously. No luck at all for finding anything.

The glitch makes vivaldi unusable and persists across linux distros.

@kzhe
The error message is clear, the Nvidia driver is not working.
Anyway, I am on Linux and we have many Linux user here in the forum.
I had Nvidia and now I am on AMD and Intel GPU, no problems.
Can you check another Chromium browser?
Chromium should be on the most distributions.
Firefox is completely different, you cant compare with it.

Cheers, mib

Brave works no problem.

@mib2berlin WAIT! I FIXED IT! I... YESS!!! I went into flags and disabled all the GPU flags. YESSS!

@kzhe
Cool, have fun to test Vivaldi.

All in vivaldi://flags i highly experimental and can cause issues depending on GPUs and drivers.
