MS Edge not launching in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Live
Hi, folks.
As stated, I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from a live USB. I recently installed Edge, and when launching through the CLI, I get the following error:
[28366:28366:0527/014811.095701:FATAL:credentials.cc(127)] Check failed: . : Permission denied (13)
This is the output I get when launching using the sudo microsfoft-edge-stable --no-sandbox command.
I purged the install, tried using the .DEB package installed with gDebi, same issue. Is there anyone who can tell me what I'm missing?
- Edge wouldn't launch for me on desktop version of 24.04 when I installed using gDebi. I uninstalled and reinstalled using dpkg and now it launches.

- netsurfer38Copper ContributorFor those having trouble with Micorosoft Edge, after having installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, the following is what worked for me ( I installed Microsoft Edge with gDebi )
Microsoft Edge worked after rebooting the PC. - karlfmuseCopper Contributor
MS Edge does not open in Ubuntu 24.04 since upgrading from 22.04. I tried .deb and dpkg purging inbetween and it still will not open. The Ubuntu software center also did a recent update on Edge and still it will not open.DaveTofflemire
- _RGilbertCopper ContributorHi Dave,
Is the live USB setup as a persistent drive? More help here: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-persistent-live-usb/
I had some trouble with the installation of Edge on a desktop using gDebi although dpkg -i worked fine.- DaveTofflemireCopper Contributor
_RGilbert : It is. I set it up via the latest version of Rufus, with a 50GB partition on the flash drive for persistence.
- _RGilbertCopper ContributorI see Rufus is addressing recent issues with persistence: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/05/rufus-usb-ubuntu-24-04-persistence
Could be there are still problems with Rufus.
