Error when trying to install Brave Linux browser

Did you run start or onestart? If you ran "onestart", that means you didn't enable linux service in rc.conf. # service linux enable. If you ran "start", i don't know why linux service didn't start.

In rc.conf, of course is the sentence linux_enable="YES", I'll check it out , just in case.
My O.S. run from the beginning in pure mode text, console, then if I want to enter in a desktop environmente, in my case KDE, I type startx

I never used such a line like service linux enable or any other service related to in rc.conf.
An another problem I have, years ago, i.e , mouse appeared in pure mode text in console, no desktop environmente like KDE, i.e. 12.4-RELEASE. Today, since 12.4-RELEASE at least mouse does not appear in console. No matter in rc.conf is the line "moused_enable="YES". I have included the line "moused_port=/dev/psm0" but mouse does not work at all.

Try:
/boot/loader.conf
ums_load="YES"

Excusme, what are you meaning? Is it about Brave, I solved Brave, no problems about or is mouse related.

Sorry for responding without quoting – my answer was to your post about mouse not working. ums(4)() is USB mouse driver, please check man 4 ums

I hope that command would work. At least for me is something very practical working in pure mode text without KDE o whatever desktop loaded

Brave was working fine, but suddenly it crashes, still it can be opened. When I am trying to get inside a site like youtube.com, it is unpossible to write the e-mail and password, the keyboard and mouse pointer do not work, the screen is frozen.

I have found these files *.core
CacheThread_Blo.core
gmain.core
ThreadPoolForeg.core
pool-linux-free.core

I have no idea about.
Any suggestion?

raul_comodoro · Sep 12, 2025

I have installed linux-brave in a clean FreeBSD installation...

Sudo pkg install linux-brave

Installing stopped ask me to include 'linux64_enable="YES" in /boot/loader.conf

I have edited loader.conf, including such a code line, and again, installed linux-brave, everything's all right.

When I write: 'sudo service linux start' remember me I must use 'sudo service onestart' or include 'linux_enable="YES" in etc/rc.conf.

OK, editing rc.conf, now it is all right.

I run Brave, it works, but something very rare happens; when I open a very common site where is not needed to log in using a user-name and password, Brave works fine.
The problem arises when I need to log into a site with a user-name and password. Just typing a few keys for the user, keyboard and mouse freeze and the browser does not work anymore, I must to kill it, I can't continue log into the site.

Is there any special task I have to do with keyboard and mouse? Is there anybody suffering such a same problem?

Thank you.

Never had similar problem, and IDK will this help, but do not use /boot/loader.con for loading *.ko. Rather, use kld_list=" ... " in the /etc/rc.conf

OK, but what do I put in "kld_list="...; and the other problem is that keybord and mouse freeze when I'm trying to log in a site with user and password.
As have I commented, browsing a normal page without logging in there is no problem.

For clarity: I'm loading from /boot/loader.con only zfs, cryptodev and aio:

Code:

zfs_load="YES" 
cryptodev_load="YES" 
aio_load="YES"

This is an example of kld_list in /etc/rc.conf

Code:

 kld_list="libiconv libmchain cd9660_iconv msdosfs_iconv speaker autofs fusefs linux linux64"

As I said, IDK if loading with kld_list will help with your particular problem, nor what might be causing it, it's just good practice to load *.ko that are not necessary very early in the boot from /etc/rc.conf.

Just a thought (didn't see it mentioned in this thread, if it was, I missed it, sorry), do you have your /etc/fstab set up for Linuxulator properly? Relevant part should look something like this:

Code:

proc       /proc                   procfs       rw              0    0
linproc    /compat/linux/proc      linprocfs    rw,auto,late    0    0
linsys     /compat/linux/sys       linsysfs     rw              0    0
tmpfs      /compat/linux/dev/shm   tmpfs        rw,mode=1777    0    0

Also check that /compat/linux/tmp has 1777 permissions; it probably does, otherwise Brave will fail to start, but check just to be sure.

If you are not sure how to check do ls -ld /compat/linux/tmp, first column should show drwxrwxrwt. If you have something different do sudo chmod 1777 /compat/linux/tmp

raul_comodoro · Sep 12, 2025

Code:

proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw,auto,late 0 0
linsys /compat/linux/sys linsysfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /compat/linux/dev/shm tmpfs rw,mode=1777 0 0

Thanks, nothing of this code I have in etc/fstab.

I`ll test it along the syntax included in rc.conf and permissions

raul_comodoro · Sep 12, 2025

@vmisev

I did what you told me, fixed /etc/fstab; included kld_list="... in rc.conf.
Creating a directory "mkdir /compat/linux/tmp", verifing permissions for such a directory tmp, they are all right.
Creating directory /compat/linux/dev/shm
Rebooting...
Startx...
Click on Brave icon, ...and nothing happens.
Ha, ha, ha, forgett it, I'll see how can a fixit from now on.
Thank you so much

Just one thing, in /etc/fstab, first column, linux related, instead of "tmpfs" should not appear "tmp"

Nope, it's tmpfs, please check in Chapter 12. Linux Binary Compatibility, and especially in 12.3.3. and in 12.4.

Creating a directory "mkdir /compat/linux/tmp", verifing permissions for such a directory tmp, they are all right.
Creating directory /compat/linux/dev/shm

You misunderstood me, I didn't say to create those dirs, just to check their permissions. hier under /compat/linux is created automatically when FreeBSD starts service linux (linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, and all of those dirs and mount points I mentioned should be owned by user root and in the group wheel).

I started rereading thread from beginning to see what I missed, and only now I saw that you said in #1 that you installed Ubuntu. How exactly? Did you follow instructions in 12.3.3. Debian / Ubuntu Base System with debootstrap to the letter?

Did you:

Code:

su - 
pkg install debootstrap
debootstrap jammy /compat/ubuntu

?

File /etc/fstab for Ubuntu is different, everthing goes under /compat/ubuntu and not /compat/linux

Code:

devfs           /compat/ubuntu/dev      devfs           rw,late                      0       0
tmpfs           /compat/ubuntu/dev/shm  tmpfs           rw,late,size=1g,mode=1777    0       0
fdescfs         /compat/ubuntu/dev/fd   fdescfs         rw,late,linrdlnk             0       0
linprocfs       /compat/ubuntu/proc     linprocfs       rw,late                      0       0
linsysfs        /compat/ubuntu/sys      linsysfs        rw,late                      0       0
/tmp            /compat/ubuntu/tmp      nullfs          rw,late                      0       0
/home           /compat/ubuntu/home     nullfs          rw,late                      0       0

So, temporarily comment out linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, reboot, edit /etc/fstab to include code above and remove /compat/linux lines, remove /compat/linux dir and all under it, remove # in front of linux_enable="YES" and reboot.

If you didn't install debootstrap jammy /compat/ubuntu previously, do it now, you need linux_enable for debootstrap to work.
And remove first kld_list line in /etc/rc.conf (under#fusefs), second one (under #linux) has all you need for this.

Well, this is my actual situation brave-browser related with...

When I run brave-browser I get the error you'll see in the matching image.
/boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf were modified by suggested installing method.

vmisev · Sep 19, 2025

You are still using /boot/loader.conf instead of /etc/rc.conf for loading .ko’s, and you are doing it wrong, it’s never =YES" but should be ="YES"

Also, your /comapt/ubuntu/ looks strange, IDK what debootsratp/ is doing there and you don’t have few dirs that I see in my /comapt/ubuntu/ (which I installed only few days ago, just for this case), like media/, mnt/, opt/, srv/, so I doubt that you actually read and followed advices posted here…

Why not simple: sudo pkg ins linux-brave ?

It worked for me, without a hitch

(note: I had linux_base-rl9 already installed)

I remember you wrote this code on July, 27th. After that begun all the other codes, very problematic. Then working on a new copy for my OS, I have deleted all of pkg related linux with.
I'll try to use that code again and I'll see what happens.
I guess that linux_enable must be stated in rc.conf
