browser will not open - Searchernow - 07-22-2019
I was using Brave on this Dell before, now I just get a small blank window for a second then nothing. I did "Restore files [from another LL running Brave] to original locations", so that might have something to do with it...?
https://srvfail.com/brave-browser-fails-to-open-beacuse-of-locked-profile/ suggests a locked profile. I am not familiar with the command lines referred to but I did try /var/log/messages but permission denied.
https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/11829 one poster suggests rm /home/$USER/.config/brave/SingletonLock - I tried this, changing user to my own, but "no such file"
I tried removals, complete removals, re-installs of brave and brave keyring, no luck. Brave does show in menu/internet.
I know ad-free brave is not encouraged here, but I do donate to LL.
If I knew where the brave profile is on LL, I wonder could I replace it with the one from my other LL 4.x computer, or is it more complicated than that?
I could re-install LL 4 then Restore files, though that might also restore the problem. Anyway I'd prefer not to re-install.

Of course, I do look at that lovely icon each day - Timeshift! And of course it then occurred to me to Restore to an earlier snapshot!
Then I tried Brave again, this time the little window was not blank but had a message that the thing might be in use by another ... and was locked for safety, and offered a nice red button to unlock, then it opened fine, so all is gut again.
To be sure I closed Brave and it re-opened ok.

Contact the developer in the first instance if you have any issues regarding that browser. It's not a Linux Lite problem.
