installed etcher 1.7.9 from the repository on kubuntu 22.04…

1st off got an error in installing about unable to find file or directory upon a chmod of “/opt/balena-etcher-electron/chrome-sandbox” yet the program is installed in the “/opt/balenaEtcher” directory.

upon running the program the system indicates that it is starting then it just stops running. using the command from the menu’s launcher I then get the following error
The futex facility returned an unexpected error code:

/opt/balenaEtcher/balena-etcher-electron: line 10: 49330 Aborted “${script_dir}”/balena-etcher-electron.bin “$@” --no-sandbox

Hi @beyil the error you shared looks like it could be related to this issue, and this issue which is still open. Is the thread on #3129 helpful to you?

The futex error is really strange, do you try to run it from a special terminal (like inside vscode, or wsl)?
this issue: The futex facility returned an unexpected error code. · Issue #24211 · electron/electron · GitHub might be useful.
