download Obsidian-0.12.3.AppImage
make executable and run
Expected result
It works
Actual result
error message is shown:
[4956:0530/120836.350061: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_obsidiuH0vSK/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
I’m not into the AppImage intrinsics so much, but it looks like happening during startup (so AppImage doing its thing before Obsidian is even started).
Guesswork: Is your /tmp folder available to everyone (i.e. at least 755)?
Hello.
I just tried to switch the sysctl setting which we were talking about. It worked.
But the first link from google tells that this might be a bad idea which might lower the security of the system:
Until the appimage is fixed, I prefer to use .deb installation. It was installed and worked just fine.
