Linux Lite Updates - Brave Repositories

[stevef]

Ok.  We can at least disable the repositories which should allow the update/upgrade to ignore the Brave entries and run.

Click 'Menu'
Begin typing 'Software & Updates' into the search box
When 'Software & Updates' appears on the list, click on it.

Select the 'Other Software' tab in the box that opens

Untick any entries for Brave.
Enter your password if asked.
Click 'Close' on the lower right of the 'Software & Updates' window
Click 'Reload' to update the cache

Retry your update/upgrade.

So the curl routine for Ubuntu posted here didn't work for any of you? Seems odd.

I use Chrome, but from time to time, I change to test one thing or another.
I checked today the directions and it seems that the repositories have some weird glitches.
Although the instructions look clear, I had trouble following them some time ago.
On the other hand, the version downloaded today from SourceForge, is working "out-of-the-box".
In the previous post I gave the details.
The weird thing though is that if you search "Brave", lots of results are fetched and there are at least 4 different versions available for download.

Best regards, Șerban.

Hi!

The only way I can help you, is testing a scenario.
So:

1. Go to, and download the package:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/brave-browser.mirror/files/
The file name is: "brave-browser-1.65.114-linux-amd64.zip"
Tested, it works, a little bit slow though.
2. Create your own directory (say: /home/Brave-2024/)
Select the directory, then unpack the .zip into this directory.
3. Start Brave, by doubleclicking on the "brave-browser" file. It's already marked as executable.
Tested a few minutes ago, it works.

Good luck!

i tried to install brave by the terminal but it didnt work. then i downloaded the file from the braves website but also then it didnt wanted to open the file.

Although your attempts to install Brave don't appear to have worked, some Brave repositories got added to your system.
The repositories specified require special access but it appears your system doesn't have the necessary setup to access the domains.

This is stopping your update/upgrade process from running.
Simply removing the repositories from the list should allow updates/upgrades to run again, but to try to understand what has happened we need a bit more information.
If we understand what happened, there is a better chance of tidying it up correctly.

Can you provide a link to the instructions you followed for the command line method you used ?
What happened when you followed the inrstuctions to make you think it didn't work ?

Can you provide a link to the file you downloaded ?
What do you mean by 'it didn't want to open the file' ?

Please can you open a terminal and run the command below to list your repositories ?
Paste the results back.

Code: [Select]

inxi -r
Thank you

Duplicate threads merged.

What instructions did you follow to install Brave ?
Have you done anything to modify the Brave repositories in relation to the domain ?
