Hi folks. I have installed Debian 12 bullseye with the lxqt desktop environment. I have run lxqt sessions on it using xfwm4, as well as i3wm, as the window manager. However, for some weird reason brave browser would not launch - neither in xfwm4 nor in i3-wm. So I tried to run the command in the shell to see what output it would produce. I have attached the image which shows the output of the command “brave-browser” in a terminal running the bash shell.

Please help to solve this problem. I love using Firefox but I also love having options and Brave happens to be one of my favourites. (In case, this is relevant, Chromium and Qutebrowser run without any issues. Only Brave is behaving in a weird manner).

EDIT: I have found the solution. One needs to add the flag --disable-features=AllowQt when running it from the command line. However, as I couldn’t get hold of Brave’s config file, I have just added an alias in my bashrc and made changes to brave’s .dekstop file in /usr/share/applications and my i3 config file.

To the folks who posted useless comments instead of actually helping: Thanks for nothing.

    “Installing a Flatpak for example is a very valid answer and would definitely solve the problem” That wasn’t a useless comment. Although it would not have helped, it was still in the right direction. Useless comments are those claiming that I should stop using brave and just stick to firefox.

    “You put the error in a screenshot which leaves it rather useless for searching the error in the web” I put the screenshot so that nothing is missed and I have seen this previously.

    “In general, I’d say that you have very little error solving skills” I would say that you have very weak probabilty and statistics skill, if you can generalise the entire sample space with just a singleton event.

    “and instead of thanking for “nothing” you should be thankful that people even bothered to answer.” Again, not directed to people who gave technical help or asked questions but only to those suggesting I just stick to FF or give up Brave.
