Running on Debian
flber opened this issue · comments
This issue could very easily be the fault of my inexperience with linux, but running npm run build_linux on my debian computer results in the folder "Left-linux-x64" being created (good), but without any actual executable (bad). I'm not really sure what to do here, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated
if you do npm start does it launch?
It fails with the error 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/ben/Documents/Left/desktop/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755
Looking around, I fixed this by running
sudo chown root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
in both the desktop folder of the repo (so I can run npm start) and in the Left-linux-x64 folder generated with build_linux (so I can run the final executable).
It just seems to be an issue with electron, and based on this issue, that fix is sort of the best method for now.
