[Linux] Unable to launch on Debian; Electron sandbox issues? #54

Open kbhasi opened 3 years ago

kbhasi commented 3 years ago

I've encountered issues with launching it on Debian. Yes, I did install the redis-server. package.

From what I can tell, there's some kind of issue with the Google Chrome sandbox as used by Electron. I can get it to launch when i disable the sandbox with the --no-sandbox argument, however, as I see that as a security feature, I don't want to use it without that.

(EDIT: Nothing appears when I launch it from the file manager; it only outputs the following errors to the command line)

Attempts to launch on Debian 10 x86_64 (stable branch):

I have another system running Debian 11 beta on the same architecture (testing branch):

I have the old file for 2.0.1 downloaded on the first system shown here, and when I try to run that, the same issue is evident:

kevin@HomeServer:/mnt/workspaces/kevin/Webrecorder$ ./webrecorder-2.0.1.AppImage.elf

Update: It still does not work on 2.0.3, and at this point, I have to wonder if it's a bug with Electron itself. Upon further research, I found these issue reports, which lead me to believe it's an issue with the version of Electron that Webrecorder uses:
