Thorium does not open on Fedora 40 #742

Closed OliverKreitmeyer closed 3 months ago

System Details

Problem The Thorium Browser does not start. When I try and open it, it makes a little dot under the thorium icon, as if there is a window of it open, but it just stays that way for a minute before disappearing. (the dot disappears, the window itself never opens) It works if I select open new window with temp profile. The Thorium Shell also works.

Additional Notes I tried on both Wayland and X11 with no differences. I also tried all rpms and appleimages available in the newest release as well as the release M123.0.6312.133. All the same. I hope I'm just misunderstanding something because I really want to use thorium on this new PC of mine...

I have the same issue. Started not right after upgrading to F40, but some time after. I have tried reinstalling, etc, can't get it to open.

I am also using it on my Fedora 40 , but i don't have any problem . I have this same kind of issue in chrome but i never faced it in thorium

i think it might be some dependencies issue , launch it from terminal you will see the errors type :- /usr/bin/thorium-browser

I ended up having to:

1) Uninstall Thorium 2) After uninstalling, deleting the thorium folder within home/.config

Just uninstalling / reinstalling thorium was not good enough, I had to delete the thorium folder within .config and then reinstall. Working again....

I tried to do so and it gave some weird errors like thorium is already used in another profile...

...however, this fixed it. Not sure what happened but I did just need to uninstall it and delete the thorium folder inside .config. Thanks a bunch!
