@ant0n et all, lets keep the comments here about packaging issues, general Brave usage issues should go in another forum to not clutter up this comment space. I'm deleting comments that have no relation to packaging. Grey areas like crashes that could be blamed on Arch can stay until proven otherwise, but things like how to configure Brave to handle popups or site X or whatever just don't belong here. Thanks for understanding.

The file /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone is provided by a kernel patch that exists in Debian. On Arch Linux, the file should never exist. This means that even when user namespaces are enabled, Brave will run with the sandbox disabled (which is not good).

This can be fixed by removing the check for /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone in brave-nightly-bin.sh

I know there's a pinned comment describing how to fix this, however that fix does not work, since that kernel option is nonexistent on Arch.

Thank you @urbenlegend, the script has been updated to the latest version and to no longer use the .deb workaround.

According to the latest release notes, Brave zip should have the OpenGL files included now, so the deb is no longer needed.

@numToStr It's a temporary workaround for an upstream packaging issue which has been supposedly fixed in Brave master already but will take a little while to trickle down into stable.

Why is there .zip and .deb packages?

mixedCase commented on 2020-09-18 13:45 (UTC)

@francoism90 No I'm not getting that, with or without Vulkan. I don't have that file either but the browser doesn't seem to complain about it.

@mixedCase Thanks, hope it can be solved soon.

Is this normal:

@francoism90 Yup I found one already there after my last comment and indeed it seems to be at least AMD specific: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1122224

According to that thread there are a few more usable workarounds if the Vulkan renderer gives any trouble.

francoism90 commented on 2020-09-14 13:12 (UTC)

@mixedCase I'm using amdgpu (no navi). Do you have a bug report? :)

mixedCase commented on 2020-09-14 12:43 (UTC)

@francoism90 It's an upstream bug, it happens to me with Google Chrome as well. Are you perhaps also using amdgpu with a Navi card?
