Trouble running in linux #21

TopView · 2019-06-11T01:25:28Z

I'm having trouble getting this to run in Linux.

From https://nikola.site I clicked download, and then downloaded Nikola_0.2.6_amd64.deb into a working directory named /nobak/Installers/Tesla/Nikola

Then in terminal I run this to install it: sudo dpkg -i /nobak/Installers/Tesla/Nokola

In the desktop menu I can see that the menu icon runs this:

Name:		Nikola
Command:	"/opt/Nikola/nikola/" %U
Comment: 	Open source and unoffocial cross-platform desktop app to control tesla vehicles

But when I click on the desktop icon nothing happens.

I also tried running directly with: ./opt/Nikola/nikola but get this error message:

[31434:0610/180655.721386: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 /opt/Nikola/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap

I also noticed that the files in /opt/Nikola are all owned by root.

I'm not a huge Linux expert, so perhaps someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what I might need to configure.

I'm running Debian Stretch 9.9 (x86-64); Cinnamon 3.2.7; Linux kernel 4.9.0-9-amd64

Thanks.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

If it's any help, I have Chrome installed rather than Chromium. I don't use it much, as I mostly use FireFox, but keep it around for the occasional web site that misbehaves under FireFox.

Also I found this mentioning that the SUID sandbox was almost but not completely removed.

Can you try installing with sudo? : sudo dpkg -i /nobak/Installers/Tesla/Nokola

TopView · 2019-06-11T05:21:22Z

Can you try installing with sudo? : sudo dpkg -i /nobak/Installers/Tesla/Nokola

Thanks but sorry, I actually did use a sudo prefix, but unfortunately forgot here to mention it above.

I also tried both with and without sudo.

I also just installed chomium after I found that chrome and chromium are different programs and thus could both run at the same time.

geraldoramos · 2019-06-11T05:50:58Z

I just released a new version (0.2.7), can you try? It worked fine for me (Ubuntu 18.04).

volkerbradley · 2019-06-11T10:42:08Z

Just downloaded Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage to Ubuntu 18.04.
In terminal:
a. chmod +x Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage
b. ./Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage
Login with Tesla credentials.
Seems to work for me.

geraldoramos · 2019-06-11T12:29:23Z

Closing until we hear from @TopView.

Thanks!

TopView · 2019-06-11T13:50:51Z

Thanks, but installed 0.2.7, but unfortunately no change, i.e. it still won't start from menu. Also tried these:

$cd /opt/Nikola
$nikola
$sudo nikola

geraldoramos · 2019-06-11T14:04:53Z

Can you try the AppImage instead?

wget https://github.com/geraldoramos/nikola/releases/download/v0.2.7/Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage
./Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage

It worked here for me as well.

TopView · 2019-06-11T14:05:03Z

Also tried how volkerbradley had done this on Ubuntu, i.e. instead downloaded Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage then:

$ chmod +x Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage 
$ ./Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage 
basename: extra operand ‘app/Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage’
Try 'basename --help' for more information.

geraldoramos · 2019-06-11T14:05:36Z

wow, sent messages at the same time. You tried what I've suggested..

geraldoramos · 2019-06-11T14:07:08Z

Will continue investigating.

TopView · 2019-06-11T14:08:59Z

:-) yes we were on the same page... Now also tried w/ wget then chmod, etc, but still same error messages as before.

TopView · 2019-06-11T14:13:27Z

Ok, if I run ./Nikola-0.2.7-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox now it starts. I'll try to read more about this sandbox thing...

TopView · 2019-06-11T14:40:42Z

This also start it.

$ cd /opt/Nikola
$ nikola --no-sandbox

Still trying to understand more about sandbox. To be continued...

volkerbradley · 2019-06-11T14:42:35Z

Had the same messages. Then closed the app and restarted it from the Ubuntu menu. Worked thereafter.

In both Chome and Chomium browsing to chrome://gpu/ gives:

Log Messages
[10717:10717:0611/072603.939819:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(364)] : InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

(BTW, you can also browse to chrome://sandbox/ where it says, "You are adequately sandboxed.")

This led me to this possibly related Debian bug report.

TopView · 2019-06-11T14:48:51Z

@volkerbradley. Still won't start from menu here. But at least I have a workaround for now w/ --no-sandbox option. In the menu properties this is: Command: "/opt/Nikola/nikola/" --no-sandbox %U

Thanks for the help! And thanks for the great app!
