M5Burner Ubuntu 25.04 issue with chrome helper binary?
-
I can't get M5Burner to run under Ubuntu 25.04. I first had to fix the dialout problem that others have had, but after that, I get this error (I replaced my username with [user]):
[10186:0817/063316.269584:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /home/[user]/Downloads/M5Burner/bin/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
/bin/bash: line 1: 10186 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) ./bin/m5burner -
Okay, posting to help others as I did find the solution to this. As the error message states, the binary has to be suid root. You can get it going by typing:
sudo chmod 4755 bin/chrome-sandbox
From wherever you installed M5Burner. This, and adding the current user to the dialout group, should really be part of the installation instructions. I can't see how anyone on Linux would avoid doing both of these steps.
Now I if I can figure out why the Tab5 is bootlooping i'll be up and running...
