ExpressLRS Configurator --no-sandbox doesn't work

[tomcass240]

I need to open this software as root because it doesn't work properly otherwise. When opening it as root with the --no-sandbox option it just opens as a completely blank white window with no associated error messages in the terminal.

Please fix.

Can you provide more information about your environment? Operating system/version?

Also, can you post the command output with --no-sandbox added?

You should be aware that --no-sandbox flag is implemented natively in electron.js. It is really out of our control.

Hi there, I am using Debian Bookworm with KDE. I actually managed to get around it by adjusting my user permissions so I don't need to run it in root any more. The bug still occurs though when opening it with sudo.

But what do you see in the logs when this bug occurs?
