Can't launch Brave browser on ubuntu 17.10

ky213 · 2017-12-24 15:57:15 UTC

Hello,
I installed Brave browser on ubuntu 17.10 through the ubuntu software center but unfortunatly it doesn’t start. I removed it then installed it back using the snapd and this time it also failed to start.
could anybody help me please ?

regards

I could not launch Brave on Ubuntu 17.10 when I installed it through snap either, but I was able to launch when I reinstalled it using the instructions:
https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/blob/master/docs/linuxInstall.md#debian-jessie-and-ubuntu-artful-zesty-yakkety-xenial-and-trusty-amd64

I hope it helps you.

Hi dude thank your help but it didn’t work

SergioRojas · 2017-12-28 18:00:17 UTC

Is there an error display in your terminal.

ky213 · 2017-12-28 22:44:44 UTC

yes,here it is :
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
(brave:10473): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0

I have this issue as well. No errors. It never loads.

Same issue for me on Ubuntu 17.10. The snap package v0.20.30dev does not show any output, not on the command line, not in the GUI. Installing the deb works fine.

Here is some debugging output if that helps:

Exactly, the same thing with me too.

walkington · 2018-02-07 16:22:08 UTC

How did you find this debugging information? #LinuxNewbie

heysoundude · 2018-02-07 16:34:17 UTC

I’m typing this in brave on lubuntu 17.10…(check to make sure you’ve updated since the re-spin of 17.10)
there was a website I found that gave instructions specific to me that I wish I could find again to post, including the addition of brave to ppa’s so that software updates look for new versions…

Now back to figuring out the recent freeze crashes and how to exclude certain websites from Do Not Track (More important - I want my Medium back!)

cimm · 2018-02-07 20:26:08 UTC

I found this on the interwebs: SNAPD_DEBUG=1 snap run brave

Brave will not start on 17.10 for me (segfaults, possible mem leak). The folllowing is the full debug output:
