Crashing on launch after upgrading to Ubuntu 23.10

Chrome and Brave use own video codec implementation, Vivaldi and Chromium use system libs and ffmpeg.
Can you check:

localhost:/opt/vivaldi # ./update-ffmpeg 
You may need to be root (or rerun this command with sudo)
Proprietary media codecs (111306) was already present

I meant search for the error message, I get a lot:

Ah, I see. I will when I have some more time, for sure.

rliberatore

@mib3berlin Doing some troubleshooting. I installed Chromium (using the Linux downloader script) and it's also crashing on launch. The output is much noiser (full of stack tracing) but I'm getting the same GPU exit_code=139 errors.

rliberatore

@mib3berlin I did a binary search through old stable releases of Vivaldi to find the last working version (restricted to 2023 releases).

Here's a snapshot of the results. I included the crash logs for the two that I found that failed. For the 2023-08-28 release, I tried it with --disable-gpu. The 134 errors go away but the 139 errors stay, similar to the issue we've been discussing.

@rliberatore
Hm, I cant imagine no Ubuntu user can run 6.2 and 6.4, we would have more reports.
Which GPU hardware do you run?
My system specs are in the signature.

mib3berlin

@rliberatore
Does Chromium work?
You can start Vivaldi with --disable-vivaldi to disable the Vivaldi UI.
Looks strange but it erode a Vivaldi problem not a Chromium 118 issue.

Cheers, mib

rliberatore

@mib3berlin No, I mentioned in a previous comment I installed Chromium and I'm getting a similar error output. I can share that log if it would be helpful.

I'll reply with hardware specs in a bit. Currently I just need to run with the older version of VIvaldi that works so I can get work done.

DoctorG

Ubuntu 23.10 seems to be unstable; many boot messages segfaults related to video drivers; Chromium-related browsers do not start or freeze.

rliberatore

@mib3berlin Hardware specs:

Ubuntu 23.10 64-bit, Gnome 45, Wayland, Linux 6.5.0-9-generic
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ZenBook UX425QA_UM425QA 16GB RAM
AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics × 16 (RENOIR)

rliberatore

@DoctorG That's unfortunate. Can you recommend a source I can follow to learn when the situation has improved? I'm having to lock Vivaldi to an older version for now, which is meh.

rjmx

I’m having the same problem. I had a similar problem when I was running an nVidia card and the nouveau driver, and the —disable-gpu flag fixed that.
I’ve switched to an AMD board, using the amdgpu kernel driver, and now I have the problem back. —disable-gpu doesn’t help, and the same problem occurs with Chromium and Opera. Haven’t tried Chrome or Brave.
Interestingly, I had the same problem with Bluemail. I looked around, and someone suggested adding “—disable-gpu-sandbox”, and that works. Sadly, it doesn’t work with Vivaldi.
I’ll try it with the proper AMD drivers tomorrow.

rliberatore

@rjmx Did changing drivers help?

I'm still, sadly, having this issue. I've had to apt lock to an older release of Vivaldi (which still can't run WebGL enabled pages).

rliberatore

I installed Vivaldi from Flathub and that seems to be working.

This is turning into my go-to for fixing broken packages in this release of Ubuntu. I had to switch MailSpring from flatpak to snap.

I may be having the same issue. Neither vivaldi nor chormium run. I get:

This is on Debian 12 (Bookworm). Video hardware is:

Congrats.

DoctorG

@ccurley Then it is a Chromium + GPU i915 driver + Debian 12 incompatibility.
I can not test as i have only a VM at this time without working virtual GPU hardware acceleration.

T520 is from 2011, older hardware, could be that Chromium core (ans thus Vivaldi) has bugs with such old Intel GPU.

I made a mistake earlier. I copied the output of libva. However, I did that via SSH into the problematic computer. I suspect I got libva data from the client computer, not the problem computer. Anyway, here is corrected output, somewhat more readable this time.:

I concur.

Well, I have hardware, but no idea how to test. Thoughts?

Yup. Or the underlying library.

@DoctorG Yes, I do sadly have to confirm... The strange thing is that this started to happen to me just after I switched (for no meaningful reason) to nvidia driver and back, which was on 11th of January. I do update my laptop frequently. Flatpak version doesn't work for me. Discord, Slack and other apps built using Electron did not work either, however their Flatpak version works perfectly.
