Inconsistencies in running, and Missing node_modules/.bin/build ?

Operating system: Linux, debian, buster with backports. Git development branch of pencil.
Pencil version: Fresh!

I ran this last week, but just returned to the project and npm start just sat there after RENDERER started.

I believe I'd done some Nvidia/CUDA updates since then, so there might be some issue with that. I noticed hardware acceleration was disabled. In any case, there is other stuff going on too, eventually ending up with the message that I have to change chrome-sandbox to root and such. (Someone else reported that ownership/perm issue in debian here https://github.com/evolus/pencil/issues/598)

> Pencil@ start /home/jaggz/projects/pencil
> electron ./app

useHWAConfig:  false
Hardware acceleration disabled for Linux.
Background web-printer started.
Shortcut main service started.
Shortcut: Super+F12 registered
RENDERER started.```

Sooo...
```$ npm install

> Pencil@ postinstall /home/jaggz/projects/pencil
> install-app-deps

Somehow, a build script/binary isn't available:



> Pencil@ dist:linux /home/jaggz/projects/pencil
> build --linux --ia32 --x64

sh: 1: build: not found
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
...```

I forced a breaking change update of one module, just for kicks. That didn't fix it (obviously).

I did an npm clean-install, followed by npm install too.
In any case, now I'm back to another problem running, which I posted about in another issue:
[9048:0529/141547.917413:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /home/jaggz/projects/pencil/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

After that I tried ```node_modules/.bin/electron-builder install-app-deps```
...but that doesn't fix anything.
