I try to add "chromium-args": "--disable-setuid-sandbox", to package.json file. but it's now working!

[Christywl]

It doesn't reproduce for me. Please try the latest build.

I have the same problem when I've builded and installed gitter on fedora. I've added "chromium-args": "--disable-setuid-sandbox" to package.json but that didn't work, the gitter is using gulp to build and create deb and rpm packages. Issue reported here https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/desktop/issues/203

[Christywl]

@jcubic , could you please try your test with the latest nwjs build?

[jcubic]

I've used version 0.25.4 and have the same issue.

[Christywl]

@jcubic , I try to reproduce this on Mac, but fail to build gitter, my steps are:

1. brew cask install java xquartz then brew install wine
2. brew install gnu-tar then sudo gem install fpm
3. git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/desktop
4. cd desktop, and modify package.json nw and nw-builder version:
   nwversion": "0.26.6",
"nw-builder": "^3.4.0",
"nw": "^0.26.6",
5. npm install
6. gulp build:linux --> Fail
   Error:

$ gulp build:linux

Anything wrong in my steps?

[jcubic]

Sorry don't remember what I've did when I've build on Fedora and I don't have that distro anymore because my laptop that have it installed broke.

close until there is more information
