Cannot open GitHub with Edge browser on Ubuntu 22.04. Error code SIGKILL. Note that page loads (title is visible), just render fails. DevTools say "disconnected from page". All other websites I tried work. Version 112.0.1722.58 (Official build) (64-bit) Graphics card RTX 4070Ti (there were a lot of problems with it on Ubuntu so it might be relevant, for example Edge didn't launch at all before installing drivers while other browsers did) This is a fresh Linux and Edge install, I've already tried to clear cookies and restart PC. Github works just fine under Chrome.

Hi @Jacek Ga , It seems to be a common issue on Microsoft Edge 112.0.1722.58 on Ubuntu. And the Dev Team is currently investigating the issue. The temporary workaround is to downgrade Microsoft Edge to 112.0.1722.48. If there's any update on this issue, I'll keep you informed. Thanks for your understanding.

Where can I download an older version?

I tried

$ sudo apt install microsoft-edge-stable=112.0.1722.48 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package microsoft-edge-stable is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source Version '112.0.1722.48' for 'microsoft-edge-stable' was not found

tried on dev and beta channels too

@Jacek Ga You missed "-1" from the version number. The following works:

root@hostname:/home/user# apt install microsoft-edge-stable=112.0.1722.48-1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: microsoft-edge-stable 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/142 MB of archives. After this operation, 809 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y dpkg: warning: downgrading microsoft-edge-stable from 112.0.1722.58-1 to 112.0.1722.48-1 (Reading database ... 365102 files and directories currently installed.)

To list all microsoft versions, you can run:

apt list microsoft-edge-stable -a | sort -V

This solves the problem with "error code: 4"-crashes.

This seems to be fixed in 113.0.1774.42-1. I don't know if it was fixed in this exact version or earlier, but at least it works now.
