Brave does not load but Brave-Nightly loads fine

Phydoux · 2024-09-11 15:29:06

A little info about my system...
i7 13th Gen with 64GB of RAM, 55% free on my /home drive and 87% free on the / drive. I do not use a swap partition or file (I barely touched the 32GB of RAM in my old PC and with the 64GB of RAM in this machine so I figured I didn't need it). I have an 8GB AMD Radeon that works perfectly fine with my 3 monitors. I'm running Awesome WM with a slightly modified config file.

I was able to get Brave Nightly running this morning with zero issues. I am happy I got Brave Nightly up and running (it was actually pretty easy to do). But anything I did to get regular Brave running, just wasn't working. I tried installing it from the AUR with paru and that didn't work. The program was there. It just wouldn't load. Then I tried git clone and that didn't work either. brave-bin would not run on my machine for some reason.

So, this morning, I figured I'd try installing brave-nightly-bin using paru and that worked fine. I'm typing this in Brave Nightly right now and it's working perfectly fine.

So, why isn't regular brave-bin running on my Arch install? I'm puzzled by this one.

brave-bin was updated from 1.69.162 to 1.69.168 a few hours after your post, please try with the .168 version

Actually, this started earlier this past weekend. I was wanting to switch but it wouldn't start. So, I've been having this issue all week basically. I'll install it again but I doubt it's going to run.

So, I just installed brave (the new 168 version) and trying to run it from the terminal gives me this

Brave has locked the profile so that it doesn't get corrupted. If you are sure no other processes are using this profile, you can unlock the profile and relaunch Brave.

I had nothing else running when I tried running it from the command line. I've also tried running it through dmenu and the right click menu. It still won't load Brave.

A DDG search for that indicates (links at bottom) brave can leave a stale lock file called SingletonLock (possibly related to a hostname change) .

run

find -iname SingletonLock

.
If it finds any files , verify whether they belong to brave and if so remove them.
