Thorium not creating profile on fresh install

[dwlamb]

I am running Kubuntu 22.04 and trying Thorium for the first time. I downloaded the thorium-browser_117.0.5938.157_amd64.deb package and installed it using dpkg -i.

Launching the browser from the menu system resulted in nothing. Launching thorium-browser in a bash command prompt generated:

find: ‘/home/daniel/.config/thorium/Crash Reports/pending/’: No such file or directory
Illegal instruction (core dumped)  

Performing ls -l ~/.config/thorium yielded no path for thorium was created. I tried creating the profile path with mkdir -p "/home/daniel/.config/thorium/Crash Reports/pending/" and tried launching the browser again. Same error.

There were no unsatisfied dependencies on the install.

Everything works fine in the local test. Please check whether you have sufficient permissions and whether the owner of the relevant directory is correct.

Also, what processor are you currently using?

As the sole user of this system, ~/.config has appropriate permissions. No other software installation has generated this kind of error of not creating a profile. The OS has been installed for more than 6 months,

I've just finished setting up a new PopOS machine with Thorium today (Oct. 21) and am experiencing identical problem. I've been using Thorium on other PopOS and Arch machines without a problem so far.

the New PopOS machine in question is an old Lenovo N22 with Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3050 @ 1.60GHz ; Thorium installed via wget / mv / apt update method as explained in homepage.

@gz83 or other key collaborators that might read this.

What is the protocol for closing this topic? The release mentioned above resolves my original issue for the .deb package installing with dpkg -i but others posting under this thread were installing .rpm packages or installing with other means.

The replies below this issue may be similar to your problem. We need to wait until they indicate that the problem no longer exists or has been alleviated, and then we will close this issue.

Same issue after installing in raspbian with xfce (Raspberry Pi 5 8GB RAM). It means arm64 version of Thorium.

Steps followed to install:

curl -sfLO https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Raspi/releases/download/M126.0.6478.246/thorium-browser_126.0.6478.246_arm64.deb
sudo apt install ./thorium-browser_126.0.6478.246_arm64.deb

Execute with gui failed so I tried with shell:

thorium-browser

And it gived to me:

find: ‘${HOME}/.config/thorium/Crash Reports/pending/’: No existe el fichero o el directorio
`trap' para punto de parada/seguimiento

In english: "The file or directory doesn't exist."

After creating the directory:

mkdir -p "${HOME}/.config/thorium/Crash Reports/pending/"

I still get trap error.

I can not install the deb file by using dpkg -i command.
