When the browser is launched in Gnome it does not open a window
If it is launched in the CLI it gives the error line 48: 8899 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) “$HERE/brave” “$@”
brave-browser-nightly-1.58.49-1.aarch64 behaves the same way
Expected result:
The browser should open a window
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Unable to check via GUI. Versions tested brave-browser-1.56.14-1.aarch64 and brave-browser-nightly-1.58.49-1.aarch64
@RonCarroll sorry been going unanswered here. I know I had missed it somehow and guessing support has too. I’m going to tag in @Mattches on this in hopes he might be able to ask more questions and try to better assist. I know nothing about Linux and wouldn’t know where to begin necessarily.
@RonCarroll,
Can you please try downloading/installing the latest version of the browser (v1.57.47 at the time of writing this) and tell me if you are still seeing the same behavior?
I downloaded and installed the current version and now the behavior has changed in the CLI but not the GUI.
For background we a a lab environment and all of our servers run as root users.
The CLI now returns a useful error that it’s not allowed to run as root without the --no-sandbox argument. Adding the argument allows the browser to launch from the Terminal CLI however it does give an unsupported command-line flag warning. I haven’t found a way to modify the .desktop file that allows it to launch with the --no-sandbox argument.
I managed to get it to launch in RHEL9.0 Gnome. In RHEL 8.6 it has the same error as previously. In RHEL 9.2 it launches but doesn’t exit cleanly leaving the tab with a spinner next to the activities tab.
