my copy of Vivaldi seems to be terminally broken but everything i have tried to remove doesn’t work. after using the scudo purge it is still in my start menu and it stills boots up in a broken state
what do i do to remove completely and try a fresh install
Ok i got it fixed I just need to remove vivaldi and clear the local cache.
Please include name of your distribution.
KDE neon
sudo apt purge vivaldi-stableThen, as yourself (not root):rm -rf ${HOME}/.cache/vivaldi ${HOME}/.config/vivaldiThat removes the package, and your personal stored config and cache of the browser. NOTE:
rm -rfis permanent without a backup or snapshot to restore from. Don’t delete these unless you are certain you want to.ok thank you so much that did fix it
Awesome!
ok how do I make I’m myself not at the root level
Open a new terminal and you should be fine. When using sudo you get root level access.
Do you have synaptic in your applications?
I second this ^
Install Synaptic and remove it from there. I have used Vivaldi on KDE Neon in the past and I remove it using Synaptic, although you can also remove it from Discover.
ok i used synaptic and it removed vivaldi. then after reinstalling it the same problem happened including it loading the last session and bookmarks
i don’t think so
From what did you install deb package, flatpak or snap.
deb
Are you sure the deb didn’t quietly install a snap package? The last time I tried, it tried to wget a .snap from api.snapcraft.io.
i downloaded from the vilvaldi web site a. dab file
Yeah, so did I. And after the deb finished installing, my firewall showed it wget a snap.
Just check in snap list
how do i check the snap list?
just type “snap list” in terminal
Vivaldi is malware confirmed
