After update, chrome-sandbox needs root and mode 4655?

@karsten13 said in After update, chrome-sandbox needs root and mode 4655?:

So are you using the develop-branch or have you edited package.json und upgraded electron?

Neither that I am aware of.
All I did was apply a batch of commits.

[karsten13]

Please navigate to your magic mirror dir (/home/pi/MagicMirror) and post the result of

• cat package.json

[karsten13]

thx, so you are on the develop branch with electron 6.x

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 and old node and npm

[karsten13]

yes, saw that, but my tests were run with

node@pi4:/opt/magic_mirror$ node -v
v13.5.0
node@pi4:/opt/magic_mirror$ npm -v
6.13.4

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 u are ok, he is downlevel…

installer is still only checking node 10 minimum… should I change it?

[karsten13]

thats your decision, this problem seems unrelated to the node/npm version, but so old stuff can cause other problems, so may you should warn at least …

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 if installer is used, i upgrade to latest 10.x, and latest npm… don’t warn

[karsten13]

o.k., so your question was about using a newer node version than 10? Maybe the latest lts version, I’m not sure, think this is 12.

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 both 10 and 12 are lts, 12 just started, 10 entering maint in April, 12 enters maint in october

Release Status Codename Initial Release Active LTS Start Maintenance LTS Start End-of-life
v10 Active LTS Dubnium 2018-04-24 2018-10-30 2020-04-01 2021-04-30
v12 Active LTS Erbium 2019-04-23 2019-10-21 2020-10-21 2022-04-30

[Richard238]

Would it be advisable then, regardless of the chrome-sandbox issue, to update NODE and NPM on my MM?

If so how, and to which version of each?

[karsten13]

I think they all work, you’re using 10, the official docker image uses 12 and I’m using 13 in my images …

[Saabman]

I realize this is an old topic but the issue has raised its head a couple of times for me recently doing fresh installs on Debian 10 ( not on a Pi but on some intel boxes)

The OP’s solution in the first post resolved it problem - Thankyou

[sdetweil]

@saabman also my updater and installer fix this as well as a separate script to fix sandbox

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

[Saabman]

@sdetweil cheers thankyou for your fine work
