Opera and Vivaldi broken after latest update

Robotmike2

Updated just now my stone old Solus and got a bad surprise again.
Both Opera and Vivaldi browsers are unusable. With Opera at least the UI is visible, with Vivaldi none. Apps itself are working fine, but rendering of any content isn't. Some icons are displayed, and even that is laggy and randomly disturbed.
Brave is working (I'm here), so I guess it has to do with hardware graphics support. I'm just trying to find a way to find out how to disable it without UI and without my normal browsers for recherche... 🙁

Any help is appreciated...

Okay, Opera could be started from CLI with parameter --disable-gpu , then settings are accessible and browser works again.
Edit: Same with Vivaldi.
But that seems to increase the CPU load significantly.

So, if someone knows what has been broken....

Close all Chromium apps (Chrome/Opera/Vivaldi/Electron stuff) and run the following commands from the command line:

find ~/.config -name GPUCache -exec rm -rv {} +
find ~/.cache -name GPUCache -exec rm -rv {} +

Then re-open them and they should be fine. This is a known issue with Chromium upgrade where it doesn't regenerate the GPUCache if there are errors with using it.

ReillyBrogan Thanks, that worked. 👍️
Saw these files before and had the feeling I should delete them, but was afraid.
