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...

Brand new Tab5 Kit, the Tab5 boots up, shows "Tab5" on the screen, beeps, and briefly flashes a graphic that looks like it's the demo software. Then it reboots. Never gets to a running program.
I thought the battery may be discharged, but this happens while connected via USB-C with the battery removed too.
Is this a dead unit? Or does it just need to be re-flashed?
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
I've been trying to get this to compile/install using the Arduino IDE and i'm not getting anywhere... Once installed, the M5Paper just continuously reboots, flashing the screen on and off.
Watching the serial monitor I see this repeated on each reboot... Any suggestions?
Rebooting...
M5EPD initializing...OK

@sodoku Thanks. I just got an email that the M5's are back in stock... Digikey still showing backordered though. Guess i'll have to order from M5 directly.
Oh, awesome, thanks very much. Is that document linked on the M5 site somewhere?
Is there any estimate for when the next batch of M5Papers will be available? I missed the first round but have been waiting patiently for another. Bonus points if anyone knows when Digikey will have them in North America.
@m5stack It would be good if there was some documentation explaining how to use the M5Stack to do the transparent transmission. Could that be added to the GPS Module product page, or linked from it? Right now there's a link to the software but no indication how one would use it with the GPS module.
@m5stack can you be more specific? What software are you referring to? The Windows software linked to on the GPS module page (https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/u-center-windows)? Can that software talk to the GPS to update it through the USB connection to the M5Stack while it's connected?
Has anyone done any work with the M5Stack mounted in a vehicle?
I've got the IMU displaying pitch and roll graphically, and it works very nicely on a desktop. But when mounted in a vehicle, the engine vibration starts it bouncing around and the stability is lost. Roll and pitch errors +/-10-15 degrees bouncing back and forth make the display unreadable.
Has anyone else had this experience, and is there a way to filter the data to smooth out the readings?
