Description Patrice Clement (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-08-24 08:07:24 UTC 
Hi jer

I've just updated vivaldi to the latest version available in Portage, commit e9f44f59884e24b683fb356e32a23ce2efda77d2. With this version, vivaldi cannot start anymore. See the output below:

$ vivaldi
[31777:31807:0824/095540.602013:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(103)] Failed to launch GPU process.
Created new window in existing browser session.

As a workaround, I have downgraded to vivaldi-1.10.867.48_p1 and the browser launches as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =www-client/vivaldi-1.11.917.43_p1

Existing browser session? Did you check why that's printed?

To be honest, the error is quite cryptic. Nothing happens and vivaldi stops right there. I don't know why it mentions a "GPU process" or an "existing browser session" since there's no existing vivaldi session running when I launch the script.

Since its assessment that there is another session running is likely file based, you might want to run vivaldi with strace to discover what it is.
Comment 4 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2017-08-26 09:29:33 UTC 
Seems fine to me. Either you have a process lurking in the background somewhere or there is some lock file hanging around. Try with a fresh config.
