Re: Vivaldi .deb will not install

Downloaded .deb file from Vivaldi.com

Right-clicked on it to give it permission as executable just as for any other deb file.

We will check it. Why didn't you use the dedicated Q4OS installer ? https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3624

Re: Vivaldi .deb will not install

Will (hopefully remember to) keep that in mind next time!

Did this in the meantime:
Installing Vivaldi on Ubuntu and Debian from the command line.
https://itsfoss.com/install-vivaldi-ubuntu-linux/

Open a terminal and make sure that you have wget installed for downloading files in the command line.

sudo apt install wget

Next, get the public key of the Vivaldi repository and add it to your system so that your system trusts the packages coming from it. If interested, read this article about adding external repository in Ubuntu.

wget -qO- https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/linux_signing_key.pub | gpg --dearmor | sudo dd of=/usr/share/keyrings/vivaldi-browser.gpg

Once the key has been added, add the Vivaldi repository as well:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/vivaldi-browser.gpg arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/deb/ stable main" | sudo dd of=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi-archive.list

Now you are almost set. Update the package cache and install it.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install vivaldi-stable

Would you provide more detailed info for us to be able to reproduce the issue. The exact, step by step, procedure you applied. What file manager application, context menu, etc...

Re: Vivaldi .deb will not install

The original issue is now fixed. You only need to proceed an update from regular repositories.

Re: Vivaldi .deb will not install

The Vivaldi .deb package can be installed in the same manner as any other Debian package. It will also automatically install the Vivaldi Debian repositories.

sudo dpkg -i <path-to-the-.deb file>

It installed perfectly here.
