Issues running on linux? SEE HERE

I worked through this, so here are a few things that made it work on Ubuntu 24.04

Add a version field with a valid SemVer version to avoid the "App version is not a valid semver version: '0.0'" error. Add this line to the package.json:

"version": "1.0.0"

Run these commands:

sudo chown root:root /home/$USER/agent.exe/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 /home/$USER/agent.exe/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox

@corbt Hopefully this helps out any Ubuntu/Linux users.

I had an issue too and doing this fixed it in my ubuntu 22.04, thanks

@blevlabs I feel so silly, I saw that error and thought it was an unrelated warning. Updating the version work, thanks

I did exactly the same!

Adding a version definitely removed the initial errors, but I'm not sure what the chown and chmod commands are for? I'd rather not make anything have root permissions (cautious people should probably be using a sandbox for this anyway...).

I found I had to add app.disableHardwareAcceleration() in main.ts to avoid the error ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed, but maybe that's just my machine.

Even then, something isn't working right, it keeps repeatedly asking for screenshare permissions even when I click "remember my decision", and the mouse clicking doesn't seem to work properly. It also ended up in some strange loop and crashed.

This is on Ubuntu 22.04, maybe Wayland doesn't play well with whatever libraries this uses!
