To avoid breaking my system with the wrong choice, can someone tell me which Brave browser install scenario to use? I understand MX is a Debian derivative - but Braves options are:
Ubuntu 16.04+ and Mint 18+
Mint 17
and then others....
So which is appropriate?
(Yes, I know... be daring-and-unafraid and pick one. Sorry, I've seen things...things you don't want to know about...cue "Twilight Zone" theme)

Looks like this is the one:
Mint 17
Code: Select all
curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ trusty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-trusty.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser brave-keyring

Thanks, but neither works here. The first is blocked by sandbox issues, and this one gives this
Code: Select all
sudo apt update
E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-stretch.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Too much for me. Try again at a later date.

"xenial" also works, instead of "trusty". Ubuntu 16.04 versus 14.04. It doesn't look they have any Debian code names in there.

I appologize, I have an error in my string above. Below are the correct ones.
Code: Select all
curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stretch main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-stretch.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser brave-keyring
Next you will have an issue with the sandbox and namespaces. To fix this so that you don't have to run it without sandboxing, you need to enable userns kernel option. Below will temporarily enable it
Code: Select all
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone
To permanently enable you would
Code: Select all
echo 'kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1' > /etc/sysctl.d/00-local-userns.conf
service procps restart
Hope this helps and have fun.

Nope.
Crashed my system. Every which way.
Will be leaving Brave alone for a while.

On my computer with MX 18.1 x64 it works perfect. To install the stable version of Brave in MX, the following commands must be executed from the terminal in the following order:
Code: Select all
$ curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -
Code: Select all
$ echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stretch main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-${Continunn}.list
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt install brave-keyring brave-browser
That way when there is an update, it warns you through the MX Updater icon.
NOTE: Do not forget to install the liquorix kernel first from the Test Repository.

Followed exactly your instructions and Brave works perfectly on my MX18.1 x64.
Thanks a lot
