My OS specifications are given below:

pegasus@pegasus:~$ uname -r

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
