At some point in the last month one of my desktops stopped syncing with the sync chain.
Upon checking the sync chain today, I saw that it was no longer showing any other devices on the sync chain, and on my other devices, this particular machine is now missing.
I am now attempting to leave the orphaned sync chain so I can re-join my main sync chain. However, when I click “Leave Sync Chain” on the brave://settings/braveSync/setup page, it silently leaves the sync page, but does not remove the sync chain.
Is there some additional debugging I can turn on to provide the underlying messages from the browser to find out what is going wrong?
UPDATED:
I just tried resetting the settings, and after relaunching I see this error on the command line:
[2199004:2199004:0505/125709.387897:ERROR:brave_sync_prefs.cc(114)] Decrypt sync seed failure

Ubuntu 20.04 (amd64)
UPDATED:
So, I relocated my .config/BraveSoftware folder and then tried to start up brave and add it fresh to my sync chain, and received this on the command line:

… so it appears that even after nuking all config data, the problem still persists.
I should mention that I’m running this on a remote X11 server, as the desktop’s GPU is tied up mining and does not presently have any displays attached.
