Vivaldi crashes on nearly every page

[EfficientPup]

I was able to rule out browser's fault due to testing on Ubuntu the same versions (portable, v3.7) of Vivaldi and sites. I'm running BionicPup64 8.0 on a VM entry. I tried turning off hardware acceleration and nothing changed. I started Vivaldi in console and I got this error:

A lot of errors and No Idea where to start. The browser opens but not for long, especially once pages are loaded.

PS. How do you paste in console with puppy?

@EfficientPup :-

Pasting in Puppy is quite simple. Just highlight what you want to copy, then use the middle mouse button to paste into the terminal.

All Chromium-based browsers are extremely "noisy' in the terminal anyway. It's a feature of the Chromium code-base; it's been designed to give an ongoing, real-time debug report all the time it's running. Much of what you see can be safely ignored, although if you know what you're looking for you it IS possible to extract useful snippets of info from the mess.....

If you're running my 'portable' build you should start it from the LAUNCH script. Launching directly from the vivaldi.bin binary bypasses all the Puppy-specific workarounds I've put in place.....

I'll try tapping with three fingers on my touchpad as there isn't a mouse on that device. I may have to re-config that one.

I was running 3.7, not your portable. Even if I find the culprit its unlikely me or anyone else can figure out what to do about it.

I'm all thumbs. Gave up long ago trying any fancy mouse-clicking stuff. On my ToDo list with every new set up is "Install LxTerminal". AFAIK, that can be done on every recent Puppy via Menu>Setup>Puppy Package Manager. Adds 302 K (packed; less than 1 Mb unpacked) to your system.

LxTerminal's Menu>Edit works like geany's: easy 'click, drag to select, copy & paste' to/from and within.

An alternative to LxTerminal was ROXTerm; which is not available under newer Puppys' PPM; requires (PITA) python; has other complications and seems not to have been updated in the last 6 years http://roxterm.sourceforge.net/index.ph ... on&lang=en. gnome-terminal also seems to have dropped support for menus about that time. I don't know of any other console/terminal which still uses menus.

The 'Preferences' submenu opens a GUI for configuring colors, and selecting fonts and their sizes.

There's also roxterm-gtk2 (not depending on Python), although old, it works fine for me.
One thing I like about it that it supports drag and drop (e.g. script or binary onto the terminal window)

32-bit .deb: https://github.com/doglinux/busterdog/r ... 1_i386.deb
64-bit .deb: https://github.com/doglinux/busterdog/r ... _amd64.deb
Probably need to install also roxterm-common (noarch):

EDIT: Was in Debian Jessie: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=roxterm

Copy and paste in lxterm's menu is referring to the clipboard buffer.

Urxvt can copy and paste using the clipboard buffer too.
Lxterm's shortcut keys are ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v
Urxvt's shortcut keys are ctrl+alt+c and ctrl+alt+v
(I'm not sure if ctrl+alt+c actually does anything. If you select text in urxvt, it is copied to the primary buffer, but a perl extension also automatically copies the highlighted text to the clipboard buffer, too, so you can middle click or press crtl+v or ctrl+alt+v to paste.

When you highlight (select) text with the mouse and paste by middle clicking you are not using the clipboard buffer, you are using the primary buffer.
You can also paste in a terminal using the primary buffer by pressing shift+INSERT

When you highlight text in a text editor (like Geany) or a browser (like Firefox) etc etc and press ctrl+c to copy, you are using the clipboard buffer.
When you highlight text and middle click to paste, you are using the primary buffer.
