Installing Vivaldi on Porteus

Post#1 by markdewet » 26 Mar 2023, 20:45

Hi all,
Please could someone assist a newbie!! Running Porteus successfully from a flash drive, save.dat file created successfully and configuration file changed as per instructions. I want to use Vivaldi on Porteus, so I went to the Porteus Browser Tool, clicked on Vivaldi and it downloaded and created the .xzm file in tmp. As per instructions I then moved the .xzm file to modules folder. Then I double-clicked on the .xzm file and eventually received the message that Vivaldi was activated successfully. I then went to the Internet option in the Application Launcher and found Vivaldi there, so I clicked on it and nothing. It briefly shows the bouncing icon with the arrow, it flashes briefly on the taskbar then disappears. Please can someone advise what I am doing wrong?? Vivaldi version is 5.7.2921.65

hi, welcome to porteus :),
from you account, you seem to be doing everything correctly.
i'm posting this using Porteus-KDE-v5.0-x86_64 and Vivaldi 5.7.2921.65, freshly created, so it should be working.
the usual way to investigate these sorts of issues is to open a terminal (konsole in this case) and type: vivaldi and see what happens.
then post that terminal output here(in code </> tags) and hopefully we can figure out from that what the problem is.
here's an example from my working vivaldi (noisy but works):

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ vivaldi

another thing probably unrelated: take a look at menu>system>porteus settings centre>porteus updater , if you havn't already, to get the updated modules(bug fixes and security patched package updates).

@ncmprhnsbl,
Thank you for your reply. I have now installed Porteus to an internal hard drive and all is working correctly, however, I will plug my USB flash drive in and try your suggestion to see what comes up for future reference. Thank you again.

Is there a way to get vivaldi in en-UK (or maybe even called en-GB) instead of en-US?
Is that only about the GUI but also about the typing text correction?

This is what I get offered:

Code: Select all

Choose a locale from the list.
All other locales will be removed.
1) am	    10) es	19) hr	    28) ml	37) ru	    46) tr
2) ar	    11) es-419	20) hu	    29) mr	38) sk	    47) uk
3) bg	    12) et	21) id	    30) ms	39) sl	    48) vi
4) bn	    13) fi	22) it	    31) nb	40) sr	    49) zh-CN
5) ca	    14) fil	23) ja	    32) nl	41) sv	    50) zh-TW
6) cs	    15) fr	24) kn	    33) pl	42) sw
7) da	    16) gu	25) ko	    34) pt-BR	43) ta
8) el	    17) he	26) lt	    35) pt-PT	44) te
9) en-US    18) hi	27) lv	    36) ro	45) th
Two versions of Spanish, two of Portuguese, two of Chinese but only en-US? :wall:
Cheers!
Yours Rava

updated script on the server, now has more locales, including en-GB, either wait for the mirrors to catch up or use our server..(and there's no such thing as en-UK, uk is ukraine(which is also now included))

Thanks for that, and by now the mirrors have caught up. :)
Cheers!
