Crashing on launch after upgrading to Ubuntu 23.10
-
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. -
@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).
-
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:

Also, I see the same thing on chromium.

Congrats.
-
@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?
T520 is from 2011, older hardware, could be that Chromium core (ans thus Vivaldi) has bugs with such old Intel GPU.
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.
-
Hey all.
I come to say "it's happening to me too". It's been going for two days, not sure if I updated or damaged anything, but it's driving me crazy as Vivaldi is my browser.
System: Debian 12, Nvidia GTX 1080, propietary driver.
It started happening suddenly:
It happens both with Vivaldi Stable and Vivaldi Snapshot.
For the gpu lines, I've tried with --disable-gpu both on vivaldi-stable/snapshot and vivaldi-bin, same thing (gpu lines still appear), with vivaldi-s* the crash is immediate, with vivaldi-bin I get shown a borderless/decorationless white square for a little while and eventually crashes.
For the elf_dynamic_array_reader.h, ldd seems alright:
Config wise, vivaldi-snapshot has its own config dir so no overlap there, but I've also taken the whole ~/.config/vivaldi dir out of there, same thing.
Ran update-ffmpeg, said was already present.
Same error.
I tried rolling back a recent NVIDIA driver update, from 545.23.08-1 back to 535.154.05-1, same thing.
Firefox runs. Chromium fails, an old chrome runs.
Aaand I've just installed flatpak vivaldi, and it runs! Now I need to figure how to copy my configs there and test, but maybe I can use vivaldi that way meanwhile, but... this is disconcerting.
Oh and it seems this same bug is affecting Steam via WebHelper as well.... yeah I want to get to the bottom of this.
Edit: A few extra details:
I use KDE 22.12.3 with Plasma 142, under X11 -
OK, apparently everything works with the Flathub distribution, version 6.5.3206.57. However sadly for me, Discord from Flathub stopped working... ig it's a bug of a single Chromium version
