Describe the bug

After running FreeTube from terminal, I get the error:

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 ../freetube-old/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Expected Behavior

On Ubuntu 23.10 all was working fine. On Ubuntu 24.04 it will give the error mentioned.

It might be related to recent changes in apparmor in Ubuntu, that breaks many apps. Here is the workaround https://askubuntu.com/a/1511655/124466
