Linux Build issues

[tank-trax]

I was able to build magenta-studio standalone app on Debian Stretch in the past but have never been able to on Debian Buster

yarn -v
1.22.4

npm -v
6.14.5

node -v
v14.5.0

I decided to try again and am still encountering problems. The first is this when trying to run any of the apps for example

./Continue

Returns this error:

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 ~/dev/magenta-studio/dist/linux-standalone-1.0.0/Continue-linux-x64/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox 
sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox

does not resolve it

However running

sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1

will allow the program to run but now presents a new error...

./Continue

in the command line and this pop up

Another thing I noticed is building using npm gives a white screen that cannot be dragged.

Building using yarn displays a screen that matches my desktop theme and is draggable

As well (must use ALSA to JACK bridge) the yarn version connects to audio whereas the npm build does not

The latest commit where electron was bumped 5 major versions broke this.

I get the same error message but window actually renders, however the choose file button is completely broken.

if i revert to c76f20c, everything works as expected.

I reverted to this commit c76f20c and it successfully built on Linux and runs without error
Thanks @DarkRTA

I ran into similar issues, using Debian. although I'm currently running sid so i have:
npm -v
7.3.0

node -v
v15.5.1

reverting to c76f20c did not work for me i still get the unmovable white box

I ran into the same issue however was able to build the standalone apps on Debian 11 successfully again, no white screen or errors and all apps functional

It's important to use Node.js v14.x as the other versions won't work.

to have a clean sweep I deleted the following folders

~/.node-gyp/
~/.npm/
~/.electron/

and cleared ~/.cache using bleachbit

I was able to install on another system without having to clean folders, however it was a fresh install

next step.... install Node.js v14.x:

If Using Ubuntu

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

If Using Debian, as root (sudo -i)

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash - &&\
apt-get install -y nodejs

Verify versions, should be similar to....

npm -v
6.14.10

node -v
v14.21.3

git clone https://github.com/magenta/magenta-studio.git
cd magenta-studio
git checkout c76f20c
npm install
npm run build linux-standalone
