After I log in, I can open and use Brave, no problem.
After I close it, when I try to open it again, it won’t open.
When I log out and back in, same behavior, It opens but won’t re-open.
System: EndeavourOS (Arch Linux), X11, Qtile window manager; Brave installed with yay (brave-bin) as per brave.com instructions.
The system is up to date, including Brave (135.1.77.100).
I installed Brave a little while ago (probably 1.77.95 or 1.77.97) and after encountering this behavior I thought maybe it’ll be fixed in an update, but it persisted.
Detailed breakdown (launched from terminal):
- KDE wallet pop-up, I click “Cancel”.
- Brave starts, works normally, I close it.
- I try to open it again, KDE wallet pops up, I click “Cancel”; I get these errors:
brave:21623): libsecret-WARNING **: 20:39:49.231: received unexpected result type ao from Completed signal instead of expected o
(brave:21623): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 20:39:49.231: g_task_return_error: assertion 'error != NULL' failed
(brave:21623): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 20:39:49.231: GTask secret_service_real_prompt_async (source object: 0x4b400011d10, source tag: 0x77433ca96fd0) finalized without ever returning (using g_task_return_*()). This potentially indicates a bug in the program.
PS: Not as important, but what’s the deal with KDE Wallet popping up each time, should I do anything about it?
Update:
I set up a KDE wallet (using blowfish) and now Brave prompts me for a password on the first launch (after logging in) but not for subsequent launches.
I can live with this, though only Brave does this. Firefox and Vivaldi (chromium based, just like Brave) don’t do this, they start normally each time.
