That error looks like some sort of file permissions issue. What method did you use to install Signal? Have you done something to change file permissions?
Yeah, it's a permissions issue executing.
Apparently Signal tries to write some binaries into /tmp/
and then execute them, so this doesn't work in /tmp/
is mounted noexec
.
I can work around this by mounting /tmp/
without noexec
, but that's far from ideal.
Shouldn't binaries be unpacked at install-time, rather than at runtime?
Unfortunately it is required by the app framework that we are using, so we need those permissions
Using a supported version?
Overall summary
Signal hangs at startup before the main window is rendered:
I'm unsure if the error related to "no file chooser available" is the cause or not. That should be a warning; not a fatal error.
Steps to reproduce
signal-desktop
Expected result
It should start.
Actual result
It won't start.
