Vivaldi Browser is Blank
-
On Ubuntu with AMD processor, simply deleting GPUCache doesn't work. You have to disable acceleration (and, in that case, it doesn't matter if the cache has been cleared or not).
-
Same here, Fedora 38, AMD GPU. Vivaldi-stable has been fine until recently. Deleted .config/vivaldi/Default/GPUCache and is now working.
vivaldi-snapshot never showed this problem though.
-
Does Fedora also had a libllvm15 or llvm-toolchain package update which caused this?
Were any bug reports sent to to Fedora? -
I had this issue come up with the libllvm13 update. I did a Timeshift roll back and blacklisted the update figuring a fix would come along shortly. libllvm15 arrived this morning and the problem is unresolved. I found this thread and here is what I did to fix it:
Open your file browser and find "gpucache" in your /home/,config/vivaldi. I found several scattered about. I closed Vivaldi and I deleted the files in all of them. Restarted Vivaldi and it is working as intended.
If you have deleted the contents of one 'GPUcache' directory and it hasn't worked: Find them all and delete.
Also: This is on a machine using an AMD processor and video card, so the note above that it doesn't work on AMD processors is apparently in error.

Intel i5 and AMD GPU here on Pop!_OS. Deleting GPU Cache folders in ~/.config/vivaldi was adequate for me.
Using the standard .deb package
6.1.3035.204 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
This has happened after a few updates now, both here and on Fedora.

@sisuaika Ubuntu broke a system package a few weeks ago which casued issue on all Chromium related browsers.

Vivaldi was already working fine for me, even with acceleration enabled, but after a new Ubuntu update (on an AMD machine), I had the same problem. I have verified again that with Vivaldi it is not enough to eliminate the GPUCache. Acceleration needs to be disabled. With Chrome, it is enough to eliminate the GpuCache (it works now, without deactivating the acceleration). Therefore, I sense that there is a double problem here: Ubuntu and Vivaldi. Any solution to not have to be wasting all this time so often?

@nawigator said in Vivaldi Browser is Blank:

Are you sure you have deleted all GPUCache directories? To find them, for Vivaldi stable:
find ~/.config/vivaldi/ -type d | grep GPUCache
For Vivaldi snapshot:
find ~/.config/vivaldi-snapshot/ -type d | grep GPUCache

@MrBlueSky Yes. Or so I thought. I was missing this directory, referring, apparently, to an external storage (??): /.config/vivaldi/Default/Storage/ext/mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/def/GPUCache
If anything, it again works fine for me with acceleration on. We'll see how long it lasts.
Thanks for the help!
