How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

Hi,

Just installed desktop app via command suggested in documentation on my Ubuntu 24.04 system, unfortunately it does not start, here is the output:

~ % ./AnythingLLMDesktop/start 
[4071143:0203/214809.466802: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/XXX/AnythingLLMDesktop/anythingllm-desktop/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Thank you for your time!

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Install via curl -fsSL https://cdn.useanything.com/latest/installer.sh | sh, then run ./AnythingLLMDesktop/start from terminal.

make sure that /home/XXX/AnythingLLMDesktop/anythingllm-desktop/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

This is because the default behaviour is to not allow running of Chromium (electron) outside of sandboxing, which is the right way to do things. That error message should resolve the startup issue

Marking folders suid root in the user's home folder is not a valid option.

I had the same issue, this is not a bug with AnythingLLM specifically but more with AppArmor. There is a known issue with it in regard to Ubuntu 24.04. Anyways timothycarambat's response above works, you can read more about the issue and some other options for dealing with this error on this askubuntu post...
