I ran the command you suggested (should it be the chown command for a group - would the chgrp command be help here?):
root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo# chown root: /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo# It still gives the same error: mikef@fart:~$ /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/bin/chromium [2223:2223:0628/084737.606858: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 /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755. I added an extra line into the package.use file when I was trying to get xorg to work as non root: mikef@fart:~/gentoo/etc/portage$ more package.use x11-base/xorg-server -suid # required by www-client/chromium-74.0.3729.169::gentoo # required by chromium (argument) >=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.9-r1 icu # required by www-client/chromium-74.0.3729.169::gentoo # required by chromium (argument) >=media-libs/harfbuzz-2.5.1 icu # required by www-client/chromium-74.0.3729.169::gentoo # required by chromium (argument) >=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.11-r2 minizip # required by www-client/chromium-74.0.3729.169::gentoo # required by chromium (argument) >=net-libs/nodejs-11.14.0 inspector # required by x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.1.3-r1::gentoo # required by www-client/chromium-74.0.3729.169::gentoo # required by chromium (argument) >=app-text/xmlto-0.0.28-r1 text # required by x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.8::gentoo # required by x11-themes/adwaita-icon-theme-3.30.1::gentoo # required by x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.32-r1::gentoo # required by x11-themes/gtk-engines-adwaita-3.28::gentoo >=x11-libs/cairo-1.16.0-r3 X # required by www-client/chromium-74.0.3729.169::gentoo # required by chromium (argument) =net-libs/nodejs-10.15.3 inspector # required by www-client/chromium-74.0.3729.169::gentoo # required by chromium (argument) =net-libs/nodejs-8.16.0 inspector # required by www-client/chromium-74.0.3729.169::gentoo # required by chromium (argument) =net-libs/nodejs-8.12.0 inspector mikef@fart:~/gentoo/etc/portage$ It is affecting the suid function.... I commented it out but it did not help. Regards MF
