Bumping this post, I'm getting the same error message.

Hey guys, a temporary workaround seems to be to run the app with the --no-sandbox flag. So just run wiregui --no-sandbox in the terminal or edit the wiregui.desktop file which for example in Ubuntu is located at /usr/share/applications/ and add the flag in the exec part like this Exec=wiregui --no-sandbox %U

Please not though that I don't know which other consequences using this workaround could have.

Other electron apps seem to have the same issue as you can see here.

Thanks for the answer! I tried that trick earlier, but unfortunately it did not help me to get it working. However, I actually fixed it yesterday. Or, at least it is working now. I'm using a 970 Nvidia-card and started finding posts related to that the correct driver was not set in the environment. After having found a solution that mentioned export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=vdpau and export VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia. After trying that everything works as hoped for. Maybe it helps someone else!
