Sandbox issues running Chirpity 5.0.5 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and solution

[paulauvirage]

Hello

As the title says, I'm running the current Chirpity on the current stable Ubuntu on a personal laptop. Opening it initially failed, with a sandbox error (FATAL:sandbox/linux/suid/client/setuid_sandbox_host.cc:169] 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 /tmp/.mount_chirpiZITLZ0/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)) which I believe is due to electron and Ubuntu 24's security. I'm no expert on either, but this solution for another AppImage arduino/arduino-ide#2429 (comment) , adapted to Chirpity, worked for me. Am I correct to say this is not something the App can fix? I now open Chirpity from its new location in usr/local/bin/ and it works fine. Great app by the way! I am using it for a project on bird calls in Sierra Leone next month.
