From 4cc851dc75ec15fdb054aa46e4132d8fbfa3a9e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Settgast Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2021 12:34:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Linux: Fix running AppImage on Debian 10+ (#231) Modeled after https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/5371#issuecomment-791771150 but written with promised-based fs nodejs API. This allows to drop the app-builder-lib .desktop patch, as --no-sandbox is now part of all linux targets via the additional launcher script, so the arg can be dropped from the .desktop file Exec line. Manual workaround is removed from the README as well. --- README.md | 4 ---- linux-sandbox-fix.js | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ package.json | 1 + patches/app-builder-lib+22.10.5.patch | 13 ------------- 4 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) create mode 100644 linux-sandbox-fix.js delete mode 100644 patches/app-builder-lib+22.10.5.patch diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 8fb246c..f70cc48 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -150,12 +150,8 @@ Builtin auto-updates are not yet handled in macOS due to unsigned build. ### GNU/Linux -There is a known issue which prevents the app from starting on some Linux distributions: [#231](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/231) - If after downloading it, you can't execute the file directly, try running `chmod u+x ./jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage` -The workaround for now is to launch the app like so: `./jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox` -
