Nothing is shown after running awrit. Not sure what is wrong here.

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Kitty: 0.42.2

I'm afraid I cannot reproduce this in the same environment with a fresh install. How did you install awrit?

fresh install w/ curl -fsS https://chase.github.io/awrit/get | bash

I use fish shell - maybe that's why?

this is in my error log:

12 |     return path.join(process.env.ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH, executablePath || 'electron');
13 |   }
14 |   if (executablePath) {
15 |     return path.join(__dirname, 'dist', executablePath);
16 |   } else {
17 |     throw new Error('Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again');
               ^
error: Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again
      at getElectronPath (/Users/yrzhang/awrit/node_modules/electron/index.js:17:11)
      at <anonymous> (/Users/yrzhang/awrit/node_modules/electron/index.js:21:18)

let me try to install again.

Have you checked the error log to see if there's anything new?

What you're seeing is the response for the theme values from Kitty, but shortly after it should be showing something.

Can you check that the owner and permissions of ~/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox are correct?

ls -l ~/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox

chase avatar Aug 16 '25 16:08 chase

Yes. The ownership seems to be wrong:

❯ ls -la /home/zheng/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 zheng zheng 48256 Aug 15 21:58 /home/zheng/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox*

I changed the ownership and permissions:

❯ sudo chown root /home/zheng/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox

~
❯ sudo chmod 4755 /home/zheng/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox

and then:

~
❯ ls -l ~/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root zheng 48256 Aug 15 21:58 /home/zheng/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox*

However, the awrit gets stuck in a blank screen after being executed.

Does the error log say anything different now?

It is different now but it looks quite normal...

Thanks for the quick reply. Here it is:

Nothing out of the ordinary there either, pretty strange.

Would you mind doing a clean reinstall? rm -rf ~/awrit; curl -fsS https://chase.github.io/awrit/get | bash

I've bumped some of the dependencies, there might be some upstream bugs that have since been fixed.

Hmm, that's pretty odd. It almost seems like recent versions of the Linux version of Electron is broken.

This should revert to the last known version that was definitely working on Linux:

cd ~/awrit && git checkout 2f65a6d7db9b9f1a342c11bf44ec6e97cd353aab && ./.bun/bin/bun i && ./awrit

Hm, thanks for helping me debug. I'm a little stumped, since that version of awrit definitely used to work and the only thing that might have changed is the bun version, but that shouldn't be affecting the permissions of node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox.

I'll have to think on this a bit, but unfortunately it's quite difficult for me to debug since I only have a MacBook Air these days that doesn't really support Linux VMs with accelerated graphics.

chase avatar Aug 17 '25 11:08 chase

No problem. I'm on vacation and don't have my Mac with me. I can check it out on my Mac and another Linux PC in 2 days when I'm at home. It's a very bad luck to experience it when trying to use awrit for the very first time :(

Unfortunately, awrit does not work on my Mac Studio either. @chase FYI.

What version of Kitty are you using on your Mac?

This seems unrelated to the problems you had on the Ubuntu installation, basically the step where it's querying terminal colors is failing, which usually means a very old version of Kitty.

chase avatar Aug 20 '25 22:08 chase

@Maverobot Hey there, I've made a few changes that might at least get things running on macOS for you.

I'm still working on getting Linux setup on my MacBook Air in a way that Kitty supports it.

chase avatar Aug 24 '25 21:08 chase

I was able to install Fedora 42 and it seems it runs on a fresh install just fine, so I'm closing this for now. Feel free to re-open if you still have difficulties.

chase avatar Aug 24 '25 23:08 chase

Thanks for looking into it! I am now able to run awrit on my MacOS without any issue.

However, it still does not work on my Linux/Ubuntu PC.

Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /home/zheng/awrit/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Can you please reopen the issue? @chase Unfortunately I don't have the permissions to reopen it.

However, it still does not work on my Linux/Ubuntu PC.

It seems like this might be an Ubuntu issue that's going to be resolved sometime soon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/2046844#157

But it's definitely a newer issue introduced in 24.04: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/42510

I can't think of a good workaround until Ubuntu pushes a fix, however, since it shouldn't require sudo to install and I don't really want to introduce that since it seems sketchy.

Potentially I could setup something like https://github.com/webdriverio-community/wdio-electron-service/blob/main/packages/wdio-electron-service/src/apparmor.ts

Still need to figure out how to get Kitty working with Ubuntu through a VM though, the OpenGL passthrough is rather out of date.

I got it working after I did chown and chmod though. My system is

  • Ubuntu 24.04
  • kitty version: 0.42.2
  • awrit version: not sure ( when I do awrit -v, it output nothing, see second image)

Thanks for the update, I'm not sure if that's the best idea in regards to security. It would be ideal if the sandbox dropped privileges, but I think since the default is to create a namespace as a normal user without full root privileges, that's a risky assumption.

The Canonical-approved way is an app armor profile.
