Allis · April 16, 2023, 1:23pm

How can this issue be reproduced?

For Linux Ubuntu 22042. Clicking on Brave Icon Will not start. And from terminal running BRAVE-BROWSER will not start and gives an error.

The Terminal Readout is as follows…

Hello @Allis

could you check for update for Ubuntu specially kernal update?

if there is some install them then restart you device and see if brave work fine or not

not sure if the following would help but you can try it start brave using the following flag brave-browser --disable-gpu and see if it work or not

hope that help and have a nice day

Allis · April 18, 2023, 3:23pm

I tried updating. The update applied. But I get the same error.
So I tried brave-browser --disable-gpu But I get the same Error that I first posted. Thank You for the reply but I am still not able to run Brave. Take Care.

Allis · April 18, 2023, 3:36pm

I saw in another post to try installing chrome. So I installed chromium and it works fine. Then I tried running Brave but it will not run. Hope the next Brave update fixes this.

justsomeone1 · April 18, 2023, 3:39pm

could you try to install the beta version of brave and see if it work fine or not?

Allis · April 19, 2023, 3:39am

Sounds Good, I will try this method. So From the Brave Website.

Beta Channel Installation

Debian, Ubuntu, Mint

sudo apt install curl

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-beta.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-beta.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-beta.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install brave-browser-beta

So I Tried this and everything installed but Brave will not run from the Icon, and from the terminal… BRAVE-BROWSER still gives me this ERROR.

[6220:6220:0418/232633.912012:ERROR:chrome_browser_cloud_management_controller.cc(162)] Cloud management controller initialization aborted as CBCM is not enabled.

/usr/bin/brave-browser: line 48: 6220 Bus error (core dumped) “$HERE/brave” “$@”

Again Thanks, but I am not sure how to fix this one?? Take Care…

Allis · April 19, 2023, 5:47am

Sounds Good. So I tried to install the beta from the website as follows.

Beta Channel Installation

Debian, Ubuntu, Mint

sudo apt install curl

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-beta.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-beta-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-beta.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-beta.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install brave-browser-beta

OK I tried this and everything went ok.
BUT Brave will still not run from the ICON. And from the terminal command BRAVE-BROWSER I still get this Error.

[6220:6220:0418/232633.912012:ERROR:chrome_browser_cloud_management_controller.cc(162)] Cloud management controller initialization aborted as CBCM is not enabled.

/usr/bin/brave-browser: line 48:  6220 Bus error               (core dumped) "$HERE/brave" "$@"

Again Thanks. But I cannot get Brave to run yet. Take Care.

justsomeone1 · April 19, 2023, 12:49pm

let me ask @fmarier from the team to help you with that and have a nice day both of you

fmarier · April 19, 2023, 10:24pm

In order to start the beta version of Brave from the command line, you’ll have to type:

brave-browser-beta

Does that give you the same “Bus error (core dumped)” error message?

fmarier · April 19, 2023, 10:31pm

Just so I have a better idea of how your system is setup, can you share the output of these commands?

uname -a
lsb_release -a
dpkg -l \*brave\*
snap list | grep brave
which brave-browser
update-alternatives --display brave-browser

(none of these commands require root privileges or sudo since they don’t modify anything on your system)

Allis · April 20, 2023, 4:20am

OK here is the command and the output of each, hope this helps.

Thanks for looking at this. Take Care.

Allis · April 20, 2023, 4:30am

Also I typed brave-browser-beta. I got this output but Brave Browser Beta did run. Here is the output I got first then the Beta did run.

[4383:4383:0420/002848.372536:ERROR:chrome_browser_cloud_management_controller.cc(162)] Cloud management controller initialization aborted as CBCM is not enabled.

```

fmarier · April 20, 2023, 5:26am

Very interesting. Okay it means that whatever problem you’re running into, it’s only the current release version that has it. The next major version of Brave (i.e. the one currently in Beta) is not affected.

Can you try this:

sudo apt install --reinstall brave-browser

It will re-download the release version of Brave and then reinstall it (not touching any of your personal data like bookmarks or saved passwords).

After that, start brave from the command line using brave-browser-stable

Allis · April 20, 2023, 3:13pm

OK. I ran sudo apt install --reinstall brave-browser. It installed OK. Then I ran brave-browser-stable. But Brave did not run and I still get this output.

Sorry. I thought that might do it. Thanks. PS the updater for Brave was here, Version 150.121. So I installed that too but still get the same error.

Allis · April 20, 2023, 3:30pm

Also when I ran the updater it updated the Beta Version too. Now brave-browser-beta 1.51.97. I ran brave-browser-beta just to see if it was still working and yes it ran, but the Output changed a bit. Here is the new Beta Output. Maybe this helps?

Allis · April 20, 2023, 3:48pm

So if I wait for the Update Version 151 then Brave should start working again and whatever caused the error should be fixed. SO I just need to wait?? How soon do you think they will release the next major version? OR Should we try to fix this error still?? And again, I Just wanted to Thank You for the help.

cooltshirtguy · April 20, 2023, 4:15pm

I ran into a similar error with Fedora 37. I just downgraded the package to the last version to get going again.

Version that crashes on startup: brave-browser-1.50.121-1.x86_64
error: /usr/bin/brave-browser: line 48: 9733 Illegal instruction (core dumped) “$HERE/brave” “$@”

Version that works: brave-browser-1.50.119-1.x86_64

Hi, I have just updated brave and now have a similar problem on Fedora Linux 37.
When I try running brave-browser from the terminal, I get the error message:

Thanks for all of the details. We’re in the middle of preparing an emergency release for Linux. It will come out today and should fix this startup crash.

Allis · April 20, 2023, 5:58pm

MUCH THANKS! I will look forward to this next update. Take Care. And Thank You and @justsomeone1 for all the help!
