Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

1.Installed Brave on a new build of Debian 12. Installation worked fine.Brave icon displayed on desktop. The browser does not load or run. Iā€™ve tried updating but get the message: rr:5 https://brave-browser-apt-nightly.s3.brave.com stable InRelease
The following signatures couldnā€™t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0B31DBA06A8A26F9

2.This can be reproduced by installing brave on debian 12 and trying to run/update the browser.
3. If you can provide the correct public key I will try again.

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Me too the same problem. Please make something!!!

Iā€™m using Debian 11 (Bullseye) with no problems. Looking at the date you posted your query, it appears youā€™re an early Debian 12 user. Iā€™ve been sitting on the sidelines - delaying my decision ā€˜when to updateā€™ - based on othersā€™ experiences, so I appreciate your report.

Adding - Iā€™ve only used Brave versions from the ā€˜Releaseā€™ channel. The link you included appears to be from the ā€˜Nightlyā€™ channel. Hereā€™s the Brave (for Linux) page for the ā€˜Releaseā€™ channel:

no, Iā€™m talking about the normal version. Not the nightly version. In practice, I install everything you need to install as the instructions on the brave browser home page, and the result is that everything is installed correctly but when the apt install brave-browser command (final phase), nothing is installed. So I thoroughly removed everything by going into the sources list files and key directories, cleaning everything well, and tried to install the beta version. With the beta version I was successful, and that was enough for me. Only after a few days the out of ā€œapt updateā€ began to tell me that the version would not be updated because brave browser does not support 32 bit systems. But my system is at 64!!! This is the full story. I havenā€™t upgraded from debian 11 it was my first install of debian and I installed it (by accident) the first day debian 12 was on the site as a stable release. Now i work with brave by flatpak/flathub, but is limited from the sandbox, and i wait the normall installer.

Thanks for your reply. It leaves this issue unresolved, but it does persuade me to stay on the sidelines - for the moment - before updating my current Debian 11 (Bullseye) installations.

Just installed Debian 12, the same thing happened to me. So I turned the computer off, and then turned on. Here am I using Brave.

do you use brave on debian 12 without flathub? does your brave update periodically?
