Thorium fails to start on 24.04 ubuntu #754

Open Sartan4455 opened 2 months ago

System Details

OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Thorium Version 124.0.6367.218

Problem With the addition of AppArmor in Ubuntu Noble Numbat, thorium is unable to run due to new user space permissions. workaround sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

Disabling apparmor service doesn't appear to fix the issue

This may or may not solve your issue, but I had Thorium not starting - and it was because my CPU doesnt have AVX2. I used the SSE3 version of Thorium and it worked fine (on Debian 12)

I can try that, however it was working in 23.10. The only thing I updated was from 23.10 to 24.04. This upgrade did not upgrade/install a newer thorium. I did update the intelmicrocode package to 3.20240514.0ubuntu0.24.04.1 mabye that messed with it ? Doubtful as it was the same for older versions as well.
