Description of the issue:
The browser seems to crash sometimes if it is still open when Linux shuts down.
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Open Brave
- Restart or shut down the computer
- Start Brave, and it complains that it crashed
Expected result:
Brave starts and restores tabs
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Brave 1.74.50
Kubuntu 24.10
Installed via Flatpak
Additional Information:
I think the problem is that Linux ends the Brave processes in the wrong order, which causes the browser to crash. When I kill what I believe is the original process before shutdown, Brave starts without complaints the next time.
Now, I have KDE execute this script every time before logout:
#!/bin/bash
Find Brave process with specific command line
PID=$(ps aux | grep “[b]rave --disable-features=WebAssemblyTrapHandler,DesktopPWAsRunOnOsLogin --no-default-browser-check” | awk ‘{print $2}’)
if [ -z “$PID” ]; then
echo “Brave is not running with the specified command.”
exit 1
else
# Kill the found process
kill -15 $PID
echo “Brave process (PID: $PID) has been terminated.”
fi
I know there are similar posts already, but I didn’t come across one that resolved this specific issue (not that this is a real fix, either).
