Permissions on the linux chrome_sandbox file

Postby Mayhew » Tue Jan 12, 2016 6:37 pm

I know previously that special root permissions were needed on the sandbox file for linux but now it seems that my app launches without them being set. Is anyone aware of whether the root permissions are still necessary for linux?

They are AFAIK. The exe it looks for is actually chrome-sandbox (- vs _) or the value of CHROME_DEVEL_SANDBOX.

Typo on my part, yes chrome-sandbox. I copied a version of it from CEF that had all read only permissions for my user, and others but not for root and my app launches fine without the usual permissions error. I'm on the 2526 release branch. Not a big deal but I wonder if somehow those are no longer required.
