vinceASPECT:
would you be okay to test this very modern ARM debian web browser...on Rasp Pi...?

Vivaldi browser.

maybe by using..... deb2tcz....tool....?

https://vivaldi.com/download/

thanks

TimJ:
I have given Vivaldi a try. I used this technique

https://help.vivaldi.com/article/installing-linux-snapshots-on-non-deb-rpm-distributions/

Then added the needed shared libraries to get it to run. And it basically works, but I cannot select the top bar or border and I have found no way to resize or move the window. There are also various error messages in the console window.

I have no idea how to proceed to get this window resize working, sot Anybody got any suggestions?

I can post instructions to get as far as I have, all needed tcz are in the 10.1beata1a repo.

vinceASPECT:
Tim,

Thanks so much for trying Vivaldi on an RPi......because i don't really know what other
modern browsers the TCL ARM repo offers for pi?.....

(the TCL x86 repo only has FF modern browser which isn't great.....although corepure x86_64 bit..... has Chromium 66)

I mean there is a chance that Vivaldi ARM could run on Pi Zero.....then?

As for window resizing....i have no idea...... but it wouldn't bother me that much......(as such)

i was also wondering if Https video streams work for you on Arm Pi using "FFPLAY" tool?.......streams from say invidio.us....?

>ffplay -i https://The video stream

thanks Tim.......maybe Vivaldi modern browser will appear in the ARM Rpi repo at some point?


Vince

Ps.....yes Tim, the instructions (if not too involved) would be useful for installing ARM Vivaldi on picore Rpi.

I suppose if you shared those error messages, someone might be able to help you out.

TimJ:
Here is how to try vivaldi. In my view it is not really usable as  it cannot be resized or even maximized. The console gives errors about html5, flash, missing fonts and various other warnings. I suspect that most of these can be fixed, but I am stumped with the resize issue.

Install 10.1beta1a ( Link at the start of this thread), install the following tcz


--- Code: ---tce-load -wi TC.tcz
tce-load -wi libmount.tcz
tce-load -wi libXcomposite.tcz
tce-load -wi libXi.tcz
tce-load -wi libXtst.tcz
tce-load -wi nss.tcz
tce-load -wi libcups.tcz
tce-load -wi libXScrnSaver.tcz
tce-load -wi libXrandr.tcz
tce-load -wi alsa.tcz
tce-load -wi atk.tcz
tce-load -wi at-spi2-atk.tcz
tce-load -wi pango.tcz
tce-load -wi gtk3.tcz
tce-load -wi p11-kit.tcz
tce-load -wi wget.tcz
tce-load -wi bash.tcz

--- End code ---


start dbus and add to bootlocal.sh - this script came from a very old post somewhere on this site.

--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -d /var/lib/dbus ]; then
    mkdir -p /var/lib/dbus
fi

dbus-uuidgen --ensure

if [ ! -d /etc/dbus-1/system.d ]; then
    mkdir -p /etc/dbus-1/system.d
fi

if [ ! -d /etc/dbus-1/session.d ]; then
    mkdir -p /etc/dbus-1/session.d
fi

if [ ! -d /var/run/dbus ]; then
    mkdir -p /var/run/dbus
fi

dbus-daemon --system

--- End code ---

Set the time/date and then install vivaldi

--- Code: ---wget https://downloads.vivaldi.com/snapshot/install-vivaldi.sh
sudo sh install-vivaldi.sh --final

--- End code ---

The install is not persistent so the last 2 lines need repeating after each boot. If this can be made usable I can make it into an extension.

Tim.
