raw binary not working on centos 7

[arcanosam]

I download the binary version from https://laptop-updates.brave.com/latest/linux64.

Run it, the process start, but the browser not open.

Then I try this commands (I do it the same commands on google chrome, when I download the rpm and extract only the folder with google chrome software

sudo chown root:root -R ~/Tools/Brave/
sudo chmod 755 -R ~/Tools/Brave/
sudo chmod 4755 -R ~/Tools/Brave/brave

Not work either.

Some suggestion that I could generate a log to see what the real error is?
Or how I fix this?

thanks guys. I am appreciate very much the browser

Perhaps this is because --no-sandbox is necessary on Centos?

Or namespaces need to be turned on: #6902 (comment)

But there should be a message on the terminal when starting Brave.

Hi. I don't tried to run on terminal because I made a shortcut icon and I read somewhere that to run without --no-sandbox it's not good.

So I gived it a try. Running without on command line. This is the error:

  [3177:3177:0425/083605.343049:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(90)] 
  Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

But when a I run it with --no-sandbox, happens the same: starts the process, the icon appear show that is processing, but browser not appear (this when I click my shortcut icon)

When I try it on terminal running with this parameter that's the error:

(process:3222): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:

Refusing to initialize GTK+.

The link about namespaces you pass, I tried it to use the simple solution that is edit max_user_namespaces and set a value like sayed: 10000

But I can't edit, the message was "permission denied".

I try to figure out later what can I do, because even with sudo I can't execute the command ou by vim

Thanks for the help and the tips. I think this could be works.

As soon I try make this namespaces solution works, I'm back here to tell what happened.

Good luck @arcanosam, you can probably figure something out.

Perhaps you can try to start with a clean slate, that is, by deleting Brave and unzipping the tarball again. Some of the errors you are currently getting seem to be due to the chmod 4755 you did earlier, so you risk mixing different solutions together such that they don't work anymore.

There seem to be three ways to make it work (I'm no expert here):

• Just use --no-sandbox. That's what I'm doing.
• Fix the user namespaces. Several ways of doing so are described in Brave won't start [sandbox] #6902, not sure which one you'd need.
• Fix it through setuid. This seems to be what you were trying; I have no idea how that works.

[arcanosam]

yeah... I think I have must apologies.

When I tryed at first, I think Brave was executed without --no-sandbox parameter. That's the reason not worked at first moment.

After this, I maked the permission changes and not worked either, but I tryed now by command line prefixing sudo and Brave runed perfectly.

So, my problem really was not using --no-sandbox on my short icon
and after that the change of permissions.

I remove this installation and installed a new one, runed smoothly.

sorry guys and @hugobuddel

thanks for your clarifications.
