[Slackbuilds-users] Updates - 20201107.1

Tue Nov 10 00:55:16 UTC 2020

Hello,

just posting about a thing that happened here with vivaldi (the
browser).

When it was first upgraded to version 3.4, it became broken due to some
anoying problems with the GUI (windows seemed to be opened but didn't
react to mouse clicks; minimizing the window seemed to work but the
screen didn't change, etc.).

At that time I went back to the version 2022.47 (from the end of
Setember and the last one from 3.3 series) and it ran flawlessly again.

This happened again for two or three times, for each slackbuild version
posted so far in the 3.4 series.

Last week (in another frustating upgrade) I tried to investigate a
little bit more about this and ultimately found an answer in one post on
this thread:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/52242/vivaldi-3-4-freezes-constantly-debian-10-intel-gpu/9,
which is to run vivaldi from the CLI this way:

  $ vivaldi --disable-gpu-compositing

another way to solve the problem is to disable GPU acceleration in the
settings page (but to do this one must bring to the "settings" screen,
which seems to be impossible when the problem happens).

Here I managed to change /usr/bin/vivaldi inserting that option
hardcoded in the shell script which starts the real vivaldi binary. This
way I can run vivaldi from the GUI as well.

The issue seems to be related to the specifics of the GPU used and I
would not risk talking about it as it seems to require a deep knowledge of
the inner bits.

A curiosity of mine is if anybody else has experienced such problem.

Anyway (and supposing this isn't a problem specific of myself), a
suggestion would be writing some notes in the README file about it. I
would volunteer doing so if there are no objections.

Many thanks,
