Package: signal-desktop
Version: 1.27.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
running apt upgrade
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
After the recent upgrade signal-desktop refuses to start, it immediately
terminates with the following error:
[13283:0906/015852.140508: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
/opt/Signal/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap
This command fixes the problem:
sudo chmod 4755 /opt/Signal/chrome-sandbox
To make sure the error can be reproduced I ran:
apt reinstall signal-desktop
and the error re-appeared. Changing the permissions fixed the problem again.
Thank you very much for maintaining this package.
