This happens for me too, on Ubuntu 22.04, but only when I run etcher via sudo
. If I run it without sudo, the GUI appears, but I'm not able to actually flash anything due to the polkit issue.
Version 1.8.0's GUI works with and without sudo
, but again, I need sudo
to actually do anything useful with it.
@DavidAntliff Could it be due Wayland limitation? Like explained here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Running_GUI_applications_as_root . They have listed two workarounds either xhost
or sudo -E
.
@sneetsher I'm not using Wayland because $XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
.
The xhost si:localuser:root
workaround seems to work, however the sudo -E
one does not. So maybe a similar issue?
Thanks for the info!
It could be due to this bug in apparmor https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wike/+bug/2046844/comments/4
Perhaps related https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/41066 I verified that this workaround works https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/41066#issuecomment-1913509942
Starting it with --no-sandbox --disable-gpu-sandbox fixes it. Just make an alias or a script. Not sure about security implications?
I'm pretty sure it's about that electron bug, as I googled the implication of --no-sandbox and a lot of hits revolved around electron and the underlying chromium that powers it needing unprivileged namespaces to run without a sandbox.
Starting with --no-sandbox seems to be all that's required. I didn't need --disable-gpu-sandbox
