No idea how this issue can be reproduced on other machines

  1. x

Expected result:
Either CL update process, manual opening of the ‘About Brave’ page, or the general update process within Ubuntu should be providing the latest version, but none do/work.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
0.61.52 Chromium: 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
CL process yields the following.

@DireCrowd I’m not familiar with Linux, but maybe this one can help Keyring expired

Gawd I love the web sometimes. Thanks for the reply m8!

This is not an immediate answer to my question, which was actually more about ‘why is the Ads section still showing as Coming Soon?’, to which I had already found the answer ‘update your install’. Nevetheless, seems to help, at least a bit, already!

Still gotta do a browser restart soon and check if all is well now, but at least the upgrade is running now. Would be great if this (apparant keyring issue) could be integrated into the main updating process. I did not do anything manually.

To any & all interested: go to Settings, Software & Updates, Authentication tab, and remove the Brave security entry, which is a key that apparantly somehow got outdated, instead of updated.

Ha, yeah. now Ubuntu sysupdate pops up with a keyring and repository files update. Should get it now. If not, I’ll report back. Cheers all! :slight_smile:

@eljuno is right, this is a problem with the key for the Ubuntu repository. We recently made key updates automatic so that users don’t run into problems like the one you are running into.

My guess is that you’ve been running Brave for a long time and installed it before we had the automatic key update process in place.

The following should fix it for you:

curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -
apt update
apt install brave-browser
