Issue
My OS specifications are given below:
pegasus@pegasus:~$ uname -r
5.19.0-1007-nvidia-lowlatency
pegasus@pegasus:~$ uname -a
Linux pegasus 5.19.0-1007-nvidia-lowlatency #7-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Jan 25 00:08:13 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'd downloaded microsoft-edge-stable[version].deb file using firefox. and installed it using dpkg -i. But the app doesn't run using GUI. When I type microsoft-edge-stable in terminal it gives the following error:
pegasus@pegasus:~/Downloads$ microsoft-edge-stable
[7399:7399:0503/210255.608214:FATAL:credentials.cc(127)] Check failed: . : Permission denied (13)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
How to get rid of this error and run microsoft edge normally. Again when I use
microsoft-edge-stable --no-sandbox
It runs properly
Solution
It seems to be a new nvidia kernel that gets installed with the (newest?) GPU's nvidia propietary driver, see this other similar case.
Changed the kernel on boot up to the non-nvidia-kernel, and now Vscode opens normally without having to pass the --no-sandbox
parameter.
Edge and Vscode both use Chromium under the hood, so any chromium powered app is probably having this issue
