Installed Program - Won't Run, Can't Find
Manjaro 17.1.8 Budgie 10.4
I downloaded Vivaldi browser from a trusted repo, together with a separate package of codecs from the same repo. I installed them with pacman -U ~/path/package_name.pkg.tar.xz The installation appeared to proceed with no problems or error messages. The program icon was placed in the menu under the appropriate Internet category. Vivaldi and the codecs now appear in Package Manager in the "extra" repo and are listed as installed. However, when I click on the menu icon Vivaldi does not open (in fact nothing happens) and when I try whereis or locate commands they return something like "no Vivaldi directory". What am I missing? Thank you. |
Try to open it using command vivaldi, you might get an error and situation will be more cleared.

right there dude,
cat: /usr/lib/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /opt/vivaldi/libffmpeg.so) that is missing, next trouble shooting step is, you need to research what it is and how to get it into whatever distro you are using. I'm getting hits on it, where can I get libm.so.6 ? here sudo] password for drew: sudo: updatedb: command not found might not be installed or you're using a different locate I discovered there are now two of them out there. nevertheless the real issue is finding your libm.so.6 and how to get it in your system. It has to have something to do with GLIBC_2.27 search your repo for it. GLIBC |

@BW-userx: But that file is in my system:

cat: /usr/lib/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /opt/vivaldi/libffmpeg.so) if it is from a lesser version of glib then that too is why it is failing. it usually is the base version it is looking for or greater. so you have to check to see what version glibc is installed on your system. |

@BW-userx: I have glibc_2.26-11 installed. This is available in AUR:

glibc 2.26-11 < glibc 2.27 to try and circumvent this brick wall. you'll have to install a newer version of glibc outside of the means used to install from your repo. therefore you then have to take on the responsibilities of ensuring it will not break something else in the process. Or not use vivaldi. or see if vivaldi has a completely self contained package. OR last but not least, find a distro that has glibc that meets the requirements of vivaldi then use that one instead. that's all of the options I can think of, at this point. |
Here's what I don't understand (among many things). I downloaded and installed Vivaldi and related codecs file from AUR with no problems at all in Manjaro 17.1.7 I was having some other self-induced issues unrelated to Vivaldi so I decided to do a fresh install of Manjaro, which is now 17.1.8 Now the Vivaldi issues.

if it worked in 17.1.7 now it is not working in 17.1.8 what changed? there is the path you need to go down. Maybe see if you can find a lesser version of Vivaldi that will comply to your glibc version you have installed. |
@BW-userx: I figured out the problem. Recall that I downloaded and installed two packages from AUR: Vivaldi itself and also a separate package of additional codecs. I know from previous that Vivaldi does not include some proprietary codecs that are necessary for some video streaming.
I removed the codec package, re-intalled Vivaldi, restarted and voila - Vivaldi is running fine. This begs the question of how I was previously able to install Vivaldi and the codecs and I think there may be two alternate answers: either the codec package that I most recently installed had been upgraded to require GLIBC_2.27 or else I had previously installed a different codec package. I know that I did install some codec package because Vivaldi wouldn't play a particular site that I wanted but after some advice I installed codecs and it did play. I'll continue to investigate this aspect. Thank you for sticking with me and for your advice. |
