AppImage on linux sandbox error #4457

Closed cmdcolin closed 5 months ago

cmdcolin commented 5 months ago

this is from a fresh virtualbox ubuntu 24 instance

you can run it with the --no-sandbox flag and it works e.g. ./jbrowse-desktop-XXXX.AppImage --no-sandbox

note that this same error also happens at dev time e.g. with running "yarn electron" in the products/jbrowse-desktop folder and the --no-sandbox also works there

googling for solutions mentions some sysctl stuff but none of it seemed to work for me and is probably not good to require of users

i tested the same thing on ubuntu 22 and it worked fine. it might be that ubuntu 24 rolled out these permissions recently.

see this lengthy thread here https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/17972
