nrfconnect-3.3.0 doesn't start on Linux debian stretch 9

[StefanHri]

I downloaded nrfconnect-3.3.0-x86_64.AppImage from https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Tools/nRF-Connect-for-desktop/Download#infotabs.

I cannot start the application by calling:

chmod +x nrfconnect-3.3.0-x86_64.AppImage
sudo ./nrfconnect-3.3.0-x86_64.AppImage

Hi,

 

This seems to be a problem inherited from the security settings in debian. Could you try the workaround posted here and see if it works?

Kind regards,

Unfortunately, this has no effect.

Which workaround did you try?

Have you tried running it with "--no-sandbox" ?

PS: chown the .AppImage to your user, you shouldn't need to run it as root.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Calling:

./nrfconnect-3.3.0-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox

solves it. Thank you!
