Do you have a separate password for encryption from the password you use to login? If not, create one. There was an issue like this where that was the cause. Encryption password became required but some people hadn't modified their credentials since before that change and it was causing the same issue. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the heads up @BonteTone.

The sync issue I reported, however, has been there since many months ago. I don't think the occurrence of the sync issue (error 400) correlates with the Android browser. I'm also not sure if the issue is related to the way this package is handled. I was thinking that it could be a permissions problem. I'll test changing the permission of some folders to see.

ABOUT SYNC ISSUES

Hey Folks,

I'm fairly active on the Vivaldi forum and saw that people were reporting issues with sync in my email notifications for this package, so I wanted to drop a note here to let people know a few things.

Vivaldi released a beta of their Android browser 1 month ago (9/9). It's had over 150,000 downloads, maybe approaching or exceeded 200k by now. I'd wager the vast majority of those who installed it are enabling sync, but however many are, they have to download their entire profile as it's the first sync. I've personally done so a few times as I have been testing and have done a few reinstalls. Also, the code for sync has seen some changes to support the new product, and to resolve issues found as well.

The sync server, therefore, has been under abnormally high load. Combined with the changes to the sync codebase, both the server and the code have had less than their normal stability. Even on Windows, users have been reporting issues with sync, and Vivaldi has of course been working to resolve them.

This is all to say that the sync issues people are experiencing on Arch may not be related to this package, but rather to the server or the sync code in Vivaldi itself; that's perhaps even the likely cause. I think that in the coming weeks, maybe a month or so, we'll notice a return to normal. There may be a few updates to install in the meantime, and of course this doesn't rule out an issue with the package, but useful info if you weren't aware already.

Cheers,

BoneTone

I'm experiencing the same problem as @CorruptComputer. When I open Vivaldi, the sync fails with the message: "Persisted access token data not found (400)." I have to then go to sync settings and re-login to get sync working. I'm not sure if this is something specific to this package or something pertaining Vivaldi in general.

@atmouse w3m is used to convert html to plain text, not something I'm aware of curl will do.

w3m is also a make dependency, not an actual dependency

@CorruptComputer could you give more information on your problem?

You have to re-login where?

Please remove w3m dependency and use curl instead.

I keep getting an error: "Persisted access token data not found (400)."

This happens every time I launch the browser, and it forces me to log back in. Any way to fix this?

I'm on Manjaro and lost sound within Vivaldi after updating to 2.8.1664.35-1. In other words, complete silence on videos played within Vivaldi. Sound is restored after downgrading to 2.7.1628.33-1.

No longer works (or maybe better never worked) on i686 (SSE2 optimizations).

Works for pentium4 branch (on Archlinux32), set:
