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 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.
ok thank you so much that did fix it
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
