Vivaldi becomes unresponsive on Linux Mint
-
@mib2berlin It's been off for a while. That was one of the first things I tried.
-
I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like it's easier to trigger if I click on page elements while the page is still loading.
-
Chromium and Vivaldi is a troublemaker on Mint Una, too.
Freezeing or crashing after print on web page or web app. -
@DoctorG Hmm, I should try Chromium to see if anything similar happens. I love using Vivaldi, but this problem happens a couple times a day and it's getting very tiresome.
EDIT: Another thing, I have a laptop that I set up almost exactly the same way as my desktop and the problem doesn't happen there, so hardware/driver related?
@mib2berlin What graphics card are you running? I'm using a (from System Info) Radeon R7 240/340 / Radeon 520.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I can reproduce it only on my laptop with integrated Intel UHD 620 but not on my AMD system.
Specs in my signature.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin Sure. VB-94721
I confirmed VB-94721 as i can repro on Linux Mint 21.1, Cinnamon, Mouse Logitech MX Master 3
When run in terminal, nothing appears in it when freeze occurs -
It's a shame that LM 21 has so many bugs. It was foreseeable early on for visitors to the Linux Mint forum only.
So I continue to have my main PC with LM 20.3 Cinnamon. LM 21 I have on the notebook, freshly installed and updated to LM 21.1, however I use it too infrequently to experience the bug described. -
Hello,
This was happening to me on Mint 20.3 and I wrongly thought it was due to Mint so I updated to Mint 21.2
It is still happening with various failure modes
-
Will sometimes freeze the computer completely no mouse cursor and no response to clicks
-
Mouse cursor exists but mouse is completely ineffective with computer ignoring mouse clicks. This can eventually lead to complete freezing of computer as in 1 above. Alternatively there are times when I can leave the computer for 30 minutes and when I come back it is fixed and the computer is responding correctly to the mouse again.

This is also happening on EndeavourOS with KDE6 Wayland.
- Whether or not GPU acceleration is on or not does not matter
- Occurs most frequently when many tabs are open, but also occurs with only 3-4 tabs open
- Opening link in new tab is something that triggers the freeze, but not always
- Having the browser "idle" for a while and returning to it also seems to trigger the freeze
- Keyboard control still works, e.g. I can still tab through a page, hit 'ENTER' to go to links, close tabs, input to search, etc.
- Mouse gestures still works
- Often it seems to be stuck in a click and hold on a tab. Hovering in the tab pane (I have vertical tabs on) will move the tab order.
- I have the ozone flag set to Wayland
- This happened with the most recent update, which fixed the flickering issues with KDE6 Wayland that persisted even with the ozone flag set, but introduced this freezing issue.
This happens on my desktop with AMD Ryzen 7900 CPU, NVIDIA 3060 GPU. This does not happen with my laptop (Razer Blade 15 2022 Advanced) with an Intel i9-12900 CPU and NVIDIA 3070 GPU. Though I do keep my laptop on 'hybrid' so it might be using the integrated Intel vs the NVIDIA.

It's a recent KWin/Qt bug with Wayland, don't use that flag until it is fixed.
-
@npro Thanks. I usually test turning that back to Default each time I do a system update to see if the flickering issue (which makes the browser unusual) was resolved. I didn't do it this time yet because I've turned it to Default before and then had to set it back to Wayland with another update.
I just set it to Default again, and so far things are relatively stable. There's still some flicker/jitter with autocomplete drop downs in either the URL bar or when on search pages but usable. I'll see if the unresponsiveness still occurs or not.
-
I can reproduce 99% when dragging&dropping selected text or images on any website.
I tried different solutions, then what I know.
- Downgrading vivaldi version 6.6 that has no issue with Kwin/Qt Wayland. But Vivaldi version 6.7 has this issue.
OR
- Use KDE Plasma 6 X11 session that has no issue with the latest Vivaldi version 6.7 except Plasma Wayland.
I would be interested to know why the previous minor version 6.6 of Vivaldi has no problem with Plasma 6 Wayland. Does Vivaldi 6.7 break some backwards compatibility of Kwin Wayland?
-
Starting to drag a link or mail/RSS item when using
Wayland
is for me a 100% guarantee of a lockup.
When run from console, a segfault on Vivaldi close can be observed.
→VB-106251Going back to
X11
was the only remedy on 6.7 (Chromium 124), on 6.6 this did not occur. -

It's a bug that affects ALL Chromium-124-based (= Vivaldi 6.7) browsers and possibly electron-apps as well.
There seems to have been some recent change in Kwin which has caused it to no longer send wl_data_source.{dnd_finished,cancelled} after wl_data_source.dnd_drop_performed in these cases described in the repro steps.

That's because nvidia sucks (traditionally) with both XWayland and Wayland as well. You can hope that the situation will improve with their 555 (+560) drivers which will support explicit GPU synchronization and some other stuff.
