jitsi-meet-electron: Linux: 2.0.0 fails to start
[193209:0407/164939.241277:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] 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_jitsi-KCGvvK/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
I was a happy user of the previous version, but now it fails with the above error. I’m on an Debian unstable system (x86_64), with kernel 5.5.1
As a workaround, I found out (see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/17972) that
sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1
makes it work again.

@saghul I can make a PR to add it if interested
We build it already and it seems to work fine: https://github.com/freifunkMUC/jitsi-meet-electron/releases/latest
@tanty: https://github.com/flathub/org.jitsi.jitsi-meet
I vote for debian packages 😃
I think I misread @vladimiry 's comment 🤦 I’ve spent some time trying to get it to work but AFAICT doing the repackage-package dance might be the only way forward, and I have no energy left for that.
At least with the current way it will work for thoe who want to create Debian packages…
Yes, flatpak always helps. Flatpak runs on all distro’s, has integration for all desktops and the package can be upgraded with software center if published on Flathub.
@saghul we also saw the Problem, that’s why we released the deb so People can start the stuff with --no-sandbox, which helps those people. The problem seems only to exist for Debian Buster and running everywhere without sandbox does not seem a good idea.
Tried to fix it on https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/pull/235 and made a beta 4, but alas the problem persists 😕
