I just tried to launch Live Dev on a Ubuntu installation without Chromium installed.
For a short time there was a error message (should be visible in the video), then Brackets crashed.

See this video.

Env: Ubuntu 12.04 running in VirtualBox 4.3
Brackets Sprint 32 for Linux

This isn't the problem.
The problem is, Brackets is intended to show an error message (right behaviour), but not to crash ;)

@SAPlayer Do you still see this issues with the Sprint 33 build? I get the error message all the time.

I still get error 2, but Brackets doesn't crash (right behaviour).

My steps (think the same as original repro):

1. Uninstall Chromium
2. Restart Ubuntu (not the VM)
3. Start Brackets Sprint 33
4. Start Live Preview

Closing.
