Comment on Neomacs: Structural Lisp IDE/browser/computing environment

Comments

Neomacs relies on Electron which has known permission issues on some Linux distros. Try the following workaround: > sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0 > sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1

WTF? What in the world is wrong with Electron? Why is this needed and why is it only needed on some distro? Is that for all Electron apps?

I think so unless the Electron app is rich enough to get them whitelisted. Or running with sandbox disabled, but that is even more insecure and I don't feel like to make it default.
