OK

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

srirambv · 2019-03-25T17:53:00Z

Can you try sudo apt-get clean && apt-get update and then try reinstalling?

ghost · 2019-03-26T09:03:49Z

Thanks. It looked OK at first but ended up:

Don't know where those cross-outs came from!

fmarier · 2019-04-23T22:50:42Z

@knucklas Can you tell me what files you've got in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory?

ghost · 2019-04-24T07:27:05Z

I have these:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-bionic.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-xenial.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-xenial.list.distUpgrade

fmarier · 2019-04-24T14:11:20Z

Since you are on Ubuntu 18.04, then you can delete these old files:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-xenial.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-xenial.list.distUpgrade

and then do sudo apt update.

What do you get if you run apt-key list?

Finally, can you then paste the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-bionic.list?

ghost · 2019-04-25T07:11:35Z

Thanks, but would you believe, my Ubuntu system has collapsed! I'll respond when I get it back.

ghost · 2019-04-26T11:02:24Z

Back up again!

How's that?
PS I see you are the only program that appears in the Software updater settings other than canonical etc.

ghost · 2019-04-26T11:38:16Z

By the way, now removed those 2 files.

fmarier · 2019-04-26T18:47:27Z

Ok, now try installing again using these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-keyring brave-browser
dpkg -l 'brave-*'

and please copy the output of all of this here.

Not my crossing outs!

ghost · 2019-04-27T10:10:51Z

My system might still be a bit of a mess. I intend to do a re-install.

fmarier · 2019-04-29T22:33:27Z

Ok, it looks like you don't have the Brave repository installed.

Try going through the 5 steps on https://brave-browser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-brave.html#ubuntu-16-04-and-mint-18 again one by one.

@yearmfew Are you using a 64-bit machine? What's the output of uname -a?

yearmfew · 2019-09-05T15:09:32Z

@fmarier No I am using 32-bit machine.

bsclifton · 2019-09-05T15:56:58Z

@yearmfew we don't support 32 bit Linux unfortunately. It might be possible to get things working from source, but I'm not aware of anyone that has done that

I have Ubuntu 19.10 and the same trouble. Is there any solution?

without having to build brave yourself you can https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases
seems like only nightly is built https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v0.73.25/brave-browser-nightly_0.73.25_amd64.deb
