i was running version 0.20.0 from a .deb in Ubuntu 22.04, but now i can't run it in Ubuntu 24.04.

$ frappe-books 
LaunchProcess: failed to execvp:
/opt/Frappe
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

i also tried the 0.24.0 and 0.26.1 debs and got the same result.

i just noticed that there is no /opt/Frappe on my system - there is an /opt/Frappe Books. Could this be related to a space in the path?

OK, made a discovery. i tried running from yarn instead, and saw this output:

$ yarn dev
running Frappe Books in dev mode
root: /home/me/books
[28345:0128/131405.066574:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /home/me/books/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
/home/me/books/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGTRAP

Here's what permissions/ownership for that file looks like:

$ ls -al /home/me/books/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 52808 Jan 28 12:51 /home/me/books/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox

Then i found this comment, which says:

The issue is with the AppArmor configuration in Ubuntu 24.04, not the AppImage. The change in the configuration is explained in the release notes of Ubuntu 24.04 (security reasons).

Because this problem is caused by the OS configuration, I'm not use what the Arduino IDE team can do, except for documenting the installation procedure.

You can disable the sandboxing restriction for all program with:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=1

or by adding to /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf:

kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

But that defeats the purpose of the new AppArmor restriction in Ubuntu 24.04.

The comment goes on to show how to apply this exception to a single application

So i tried disabling the sandboxing restriction, and now the binary launches:

$ frappe-books

Found package-type: deb
[34414:0128/133709.983686:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times!

Fwiw, i can also launch from yarn now, but the window didn't render.

This is what i have done for the time being:

  1. Downloaded the AppImage, made it executable, and moved/renamed it to /usr/local/bin/frappe-books
  2. added a /etc/apparmor.d/frappe-books file with these contents: 
    abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>

profile frappe-books /usr/local/bin/frappe-books flags=(unconfined) {
  userns,

  # site-specific additions and overrides. 
  include if exists <local/frappe-books>
}
  3. sudo service apparmor reload && frappe-books to load the profile and make sure it runs
  4. made a desktop launcher at ~/.local/share/applications/frappe-books.desktop (i should have found the one the .deb installed): 
    [Desktop Entry]
Name=Frappe Books
Comment=Bookkeeping
Exec=/usr/local/bin/frappe-books
Icon=/usr/local/bin/frappe-books.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Office;
  5. i think that has to be made executable
  6. copied https://github.com/frappe/books/tree/master/build/icon.png to /usr/local/bin/frappe-books.png

Now i can launch it.

I am sorry but I have been stuck in same problem for 3 days now and I have a question as I am facing same error as yours: What do you mean by AppImage? I did read the issue you referred us to but still didn't get how you applied it. The issue you used as a reference had the AppImage in their path, but our problem isn't in same path..??
I get this error:

root@Monia:/books# yarn dev
yarn run v1.22.22
$ node build/scripts/dev.mjs
running Frappe Books in dev mode

$ /books/node_modules/.bin/vite

@Moniaar each Frappe Books version has an AppImage file which can be downloaded from the Releases page.

If you are following the instructions at #1102 (comment), you don't need to build with yarn.

@smcoll thank you! I was able to run it on my ubuntu after adding this script in my package.json file and used npm start to view and npm start dist to build:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=0 electron --no-sandbox .",
    "dist": "electron-builder"

and as you said I didn't need yarn at all :)!.
