Super-productivity: Not starting in Manjaro Gnome

I get this error:

[tio@tio-pc ~]$ '/home/tio/Applications/superProductivity-2.10.12_00000000000000000000000000000000.AppImage'

It works now. Manjaro got a big update and now I see that it works....I know for example that they updated the electron to 6.0.7-1, though appimages should be self contained. In any case, it works now....interesting...

Thanks for reporting. I will try updating electron. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

I don't think updating to new electron will solve the problem though. This Linux distro is more restricted and the sandbox needs root privileges, Debian has the same issue AFAIK.

@tiotrom have you tried this?

sudo chown root chrome-sandbox

chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

I think we need to do this, if we wanted to solve it for SuperProductivity and solve it during install
