Vivaldi refuses to start

Hello everyone, I’m relatively new to Linux and new in the OpenSUSE community.

I just installed Tumbleweed yesterday and installed Vivaldi, which was working just fine. Today after starting the system I opended the app, it asked me for my kwallet password but after a few seconds without any input it gave me an error and now the app refuses to start.

When I try to open it from the terminal I get this

enzo@enzobook:~> vivaldi

Does anybody knows what does this means or what can I do?

How did you install vivaldi?

For Firefox I get:

> sudo zypper info MozillaFirefox
Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...

If you installed it using zypper, van you provide the same information? If not, please provide the URL where you downloaded it.

The problem “Segmentation fault (core dumped)” is pretty severe. To start debugging it you could run under gdb.

I downloaded the RPM from Vivaldi’s website (Download Vivaldi | Vivaldi Browser) and installed it trough YaST.

I only have heard about zypper here and there but don’t know how to use, I’m kind of a newbie.

What is gdb?

I did it now trough zypper and I got this when asking for info. But still does the same, it doesn’t open, and if I try to run it from the terminal it takes a time and does the same as before.

If you do not know better forget about gdb, the GNU Debugger, it is a debugger that developers use to debug this kind of problems.

I assume you did download the Linux RPM 64bit, that your machine has a Intel/AMD 64-bit processor and you installed the 64-bit version of Tumbleweed, correct?

I see opi supports Vivaldi:

> opi vivaldi
Do you want to install Vivaldi from Vivaldi repository? (Y/n) 
1. vivaldi-stable
2. vivaldi-snapshot
Pick a number (0 to quit):

That will get it from their repo and add that repo to zypper so you automatically get updates.

If that still gives problems I would try:

Well, yes, I’ll see there. Thank You @marel
