I looked into this. It's complicated. At the core of it however is Brave - you were right about that. Turns out Brave has a segfault bug that comes up when a window is already open: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/4142 In a nutshell, the RPC process ends up in xdg-open, which has a million fallbacks - and the segfault results in a non-zero exit code, so xdg-open keeps looking. Here are steps to work around the issue, until they fix that bug: 1. x-www-browser isn't really needed, but I thought it couldn't hurt to have it. So I created one in /usr/local/bin/x-www-browser: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable $@ || true As you can see, this ignores the error result from the segfault bug. 2. I created a copy of the Brave .desktop file: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop /usr/local/share/applications 3. I edited that clone and replaced calls to /usr/local/bin/brave-browser-stable with calls to /usr/local/bin/x-www-browser Now everything works. Since all my changes are in /usr/local, they can be applied in VMs or TemplateVMs. Cheers Oli -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
