Chromium does not open - MX 19.1 - please add chromium-sandbox as required

[kepler1]

Hello all!

So, after installing Chromium (sudo apt install chromium) I've noticed that I cannot launch the browser.

This is what I get from console:

$ chromium
Using PPAPI flash.
[9265:9265:0331/182335.065155:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(116)] No usable sandbox! If this is a Debian system, please install the chromium-sandbox package to solve this problem. If you want to live dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox.

After installing, chromium-sandbox everything is fine.

Can someone fix this? (especially for new users)

Much appreciated!

its not broke, that's how debian does it.

our installer from mx-packageinstaller->popular apps installs both packages, to make life easy.

Many of us run kernels that don't need the sandbox, too.

Adding the sandbox packages when it's not needed takes up too much space!!! [/sarcasm]

Hey!

Somehow.. i tried again today and it seems I didn't have to manually install chromium-sandbox.

When I tried to install chromium it seems that is also brought up chromium-sandbox... :)

So everything went smooth!

Thanks guys!
