Description

Crash on launch with error

/usr/bin/atom: line 86: 1983389 Trace/breakpoint trap   (core dumped) nohup "$ATOM_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" > "$ATOM_HOME/nohup.out" 2>&1
[1983389:0321/185955.067741:FATAL:electron_main_delegate.cc(254)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

Steps to Reproduce

run atom

Expected behavior:

It would launch with no errors such as.

/usr/bin/atom: line 86: 1983389 Trace/breakpoint trap   (core dumped) nohup "$ATOM_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" > "$ATOM_HOME/nohup.out" 2>&1

Actual behavior: it does not launch and produces the error.

/usr/bin/atom: line 86: 1983389 Trace/breakpoint trap   (core dumped) nohup "$ATOM_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" > "$ATOM_HOME/nohup.out" 2>&1

Reproduces how often:

Every time.

Versions

apm 2.6.4 atom 1.58.0 os Garuda Linux aka arch. Kernel 5.16.14-zen1-1-zen python 3.10.2 npm 6.14.9

Additional Information

Have run shotgunned fixes from about 15 different 'similar' issues. Reinstalled, removed, rebooted, cleared and cleaned, installed on an entirely blank version of the same os. No joy. also of note: I am not running it as root. Running it like

sudo atom --no-sandbox

works.

also of note running in safe gives me the error.

Is atom just having a problem with my theme?

[Reaper176]

Have tried changing themes to several different ones including default and nothing. No idea if that is the problem, but I see the words to I might as well try right? XD

[icecream17]

maybe uninstall one of your themes. you can try opening atom in safe mode

[darangi]

have you tried running atom in safe mode? atom --safe ?

[rlafuente]

For anyone else with the same issue, running atom with the --no-sandbox flag works (workaround found here, and there's other fix suggestions in that thread)
