Upgrade to Chromium 114 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3023.3

npro

@npro Oh and btw, most Ubuntu LTS releases always had an EOL in April, so distrowatch was pretty spot on on that except for 18.04 LTS which seems an exception by Canonical.

@npro No, since you mentioned DW relating to popularity I assumed you meant stats and that is what I was reacting to.

I suppose @ugly could run it and go all out… or maybe read it in a text editor and look at the list of deps and install each on a case by case basis.

I took a look at it in a text editor and made an educated guess on the package I would need to keep installing extra packages to a minimum. It turns out the last one I needed to install was mesa-common-dev.

So, if it helps, I needed to install libevdev-dev, libnss3-dev, libcubs2-dev, and mesa-common-dev as extra packages. But, there is a possibility that I had already installed some of the dev packages for other stuff I compiled in the past, so others might have to install more.

@Ruarí I didn't quote DW for popularity but for the EOL date of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, here is the part:

I've only checked distrowatch.com There it stated 2023-04 .

@Ruarí But hey, we've given so much juice to this thread (~~or should I call it spam~~ ) that many users will have much to read while having their morning coffee - or ignore us both most probably...

That does help! And to be 100% clear you managed to compile a working lib now?

Yes, I was able to run the ninja command the install afterwards.

Looks to be working on the test page: https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/media/html5-proprietary-media-on-linux/

I did have it previously working by extracting from the arch repo. But I assume when I ran the install command after compiling, it would have overwritten it and it still works.

Ruarí

Yes it would but you can check it by running this

md5sum /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/libffmpeg.so.6.1

If the result is 7338e91dbae54a2f0575aef18b4b76e3 then it is from the Arch package. If it is anything else, then it is your self compiled package.

Also the Arch file is stripped, your self compiled one almost certainly is not, so you could also run file on the lib and look for this.

Cool, then indeed it worked

Something new: Crash on waking from sleep... With and without Mail enabled. Every time...
Need I file a bug report?

I am am obviously too closely associated with Vivaldi. IANAL but I would assume that this would be considered roughly the same as Vivaldi sharing it directly

hey, i know, it's a simply foolproof plan; you could post it using your signature from your opera15 days, ie, nothing at all to do with vivaldi. i feel supremely confident this would fool absolutely everyone. huzzah!

ps: if it's not too personal a question, what on earth is your

using distrobox for example

this would be a wonderful use-case for some peeps of silly old distros to run vivaldi in a [eg] fedora or arch distrobox

oh you big hater of tight body-shirts, you!

Does any of you folks use the "Send to my devices" functionality? It seems to not work for me (it hasn't worked for quite some time) - and I'm not sure where the culprit is. So if I'm looking at a page on my phone (Android 13, latest Vivaldi Snapshot) and opt to send it to my computer (correctly shown with its name and latest time I've used it), I'd expect the page in question to pop open on my computer next time I use it... but it doesn't. Sync seems to otherwise work fine - bookmarks and the reading list (not sure whether I should treat them separately) work fine.

@killchain Was removed from Chromium Desktop some time ago, that's why it is missing in Vivaldi.

@killchain
Hi, you can see open tabs on other devices from the cloud icon right top:

Cheers, mib

killchain

@mib2berlin: That works, but I have to remember to go there and open the tab in question. "Send to my devices", while it was working, served as a reminder when I get back to my PC.

@DoctorG Thanks, that explains it. So no plans to reimplement it (in which case those menu entries would be leftovers)?

This one is SUPER CRASHY for me. I had to downgrade. Linux Mint.

It was crashing when I typed on Zulip. After 3rd crash I started typing in notepad and pasting to Zulip.

But then I scrolled some page and Vivaldi crashed.

Then again.

Then I restarted Vivaldi again, I did nothing and 10 seconds later it crashed.

I avoided this update because Linux Media thing, but yestarday evening I decided to update anyway and that was a bad decision

I hope this is already discovered and fix is coming.

@jacekn ha, at least your one launches, briefly. mine won't even launch [crashes even before the UI appears].
