MS Edge - Sidebar and copilot not working on Linux Ubuntu v24 LTS
Sidebar not syncing or accepting new app additions (+). Copilot button is dead/inactive. Sidebar settings are well configured. Using the latest version of the Ubuntu OS and MS Edge. Functionality appears to be absent as product was released without full functionality....Lame!
Brilliant! Copied the hubapps file from my windows pc to my Deepin install. Thanks a lot, works perfectly. 😎
It's now 15th of February and it still breaks after updating Edge. Just copied the HubApps file to my profile directories again. Copilot is so important to Microsoft but less so on platforms other than Windows.
the file that is missing is called HubApps, and it can be copied from any edge install, on windows it would be here:
AppData/Local/Microsoft/Edge/User Data/Default/HubApps
this file needs to be copied to:
flatpak version:.var/app/com.microsoft.Edge/config/microsoft-edge/Default/
regular install:
.config/microsoft-edge/Default/and restart edge, then copilot will work.

also might have to copy into other profiles if you have some
all of this info is above but unclear, ive also added a link to a copy of the file if you do not have a working installRemove installation

Remove installation

$ rm -lr ~/.config/microsoft-edgeInstall older versión
$ apt install ./microsoft-edge-stable_121.0.2277.128-1_amd64.deb
Update$ apt install ./microsoft-edge-stable_131.0.2903.112-1_amd64.debWeirdly, I have the issue on arch linux, everything updated, it seems like the problem is so generalized, it would be good to fix it centrally from MS side.
Hello. For those who install Microsoft Edge via Flatpak, the path to install HubApps is: /home/user/.var/app/com.microsoft.Edge/config//microsoft-edge/Default/
Thanks to you all, but copying HubApps file in Home/.config/microsoft edge/Defaultit does NOT work for me in Opensuse...
You might be using another profile other than Default. If so, drop the file in there and let me know if that work.
Hello. Strange. I installed OpenSuse Kde Plasma Tumbleweed and Leap 15.6 on a virtual machine to test and they all worked fine. I also tested them on a distro based on OpenSuse Leap Regata OS, and everything worked. The location is this "/home/user/.config/microsoft-edge/Default/"
You can try this "@karangopalgaur yes, I downgraded the browser version to an older one, I don't have it now, but it was 126. Something that fixed it and with apt upgrade to version 130 it works. The link to the .rpm versions is this one below.
"https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/edge/Packages/m/"Sorry for the English, Google translator.
- For anyone who need later versions of edge you can get it from the source link when installing on the terminal
https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/pool/main/m/microsoft-edge-stable/- Finally. Installed a fresh version of Windows with a PE disk and got the file.
Now working fine!But I'm using Ubuntu, not Windows. digcboy
