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.

    If you really need Brave, install the Flatpak. Not official, but neither it is the one from the package manager.

    I’d also recommend to just install Ungoogled Chromium instead of Brave and be done with it.
