Solved Setting changes will not persist, after system crash.
-
My laptop will sometimes fail to come out of sleep properly, force rebooting the computer. This wouldn't be an issue, but it seems Vivaldi doesn't play nice with being quit unexpectedly. Certain browser settings, as well as extension settings, all fail to save between browser reloads. Of the affected things, the blocklist for Dark Reader, and the toggle for address completion.
This is the second time this has happened. The first time, tab favicons stopped displaying entirely, as well. The only solution I could find was to completely erase
~/.config/vivaldi
, but I'd like to avoid that, especially because I'm not sure I'll be able to reload my current workspace configuration.On startup, I also get the following errors:

This feels like the interruption somehow failed to close a database properly. Does anyone know what files I should look at to troubleshoot this? Is there a specific lock file that needs deleted? Solutions, please!

welp, it seems deleting the logfile implicated in the errors fixed the crash. I'll keep that in mind.

@vvinrg Files can not be written. Broken file system? Blocked by some Linux security? Failing disk hardware?
Check Linux syslog at time of error what could be wrong.Workspaces are noted in file sessions.json and the sessions themseleve in files like Session_.... and Tabs_..... in Sessions/ sub-folder of your profile

@DoctorG
the files can be written.touch .config/vivaldi/Default/Sync\ Data/001976.log
exits without error. -
