Unable to run appimage

[inorick]

I get the following error when trying to run the 0.2 appimage:

$ chmod +x liground-0.2.0-linux.AppImage 
$ ./liground-0.2.0-linux.AppImage 
[2321:0318/193941.884527:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] 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 /tmp/.mount_ligrouupWnPY/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Hello @inorick ,
can you give information about your operating system and if release 0.1.0 has been working?

The problem you have run into seems to be a known problem when trying to run electron-js applications on ArchLinux:

• The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly electron/electron#17972

Release 0.1.0 gives me the same problem. I am running Debian 10.

Ok, so I found this bug report that mentions Debian 10 specifically:
cryptoadvance/specter-desktop#769
It references this comment from an electron bug:
electron/electron#17972 (comment)
I suspect that Debian's kernel does not enable unprivileged access to CLONE_NEWUSER.
Running the app image with --no-sandbox allows me to start both release 0.1 and 0.2. Although the solution is of course not ideal.

Thank you for pointing out an interim solution and I agree that adding --no-sandbox is not ideal for security reasons.
